Summary: The study aimed to calculate cardiovascular risk in workers over 60 years of age and assess the differences by sex, social class, smoking, and type of job. The results showed that male, blue-collar workers, smokers, and age were significant factors influencing cardiovascular risk. Men had a higher risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver and liver fibrosis compared to women. Therefore, screening programs for cardiovascular risk should be considered for these high-risk groups.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of thinness, overweight, and obesity among Chinese children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 years from 2010 to 2018. The findings showed that the prevalence of thinness decreased while overweight increased during this period. The prevalence of obesity declined in boys but increased in girls, particularly in adolescents aged 16-18 years. Factors such as age, mode of transportation to school, family size, and parental age were found to be associated with thinness, overweight, and obesity.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the eating behaviors of Mexican pregnant women using an adapted version of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ). The results showed that emotional eating, external eating, and restrained eating were associated with sociodemographic and reproductive factors in pregnant women. The adapted DEBQ is suitable for use with Mexican Spanish-speaking pregnant women, and maternal sociodemographic and reproductive factors have an influence on eating behaviors during pregnancy.

Summary: This study provides important insights into the current scenario of seeking cancer screening services among women in India. The findings suggest that older age, urban residence, higher education, employment, health insurance ownership, exposure to electronic media, higher household wealth, and better healthcare autonomy are associated with a higher uptake of cancer screening services. Additionally, the strength of these associations varies between urban and rural residents, indicating the need for region-specific intervention strategies.
