Summary: The study found that higher attachment-related anxiety in carers with high education and stressful life events are associated with T1D in children. The security of attachment to mothers showed no significant association with the child's T1D diagnosis.

Summary: The study found a significant association between child maltreatment and adolescent suicide ideation, with recent interpersonal stressors exacerbating this association. It also revealed that cognitive reappraisal plays a protective role in the relationship between stressful life events and suicide ideation.

Summary: This study found that adolescents with better psychosocial well-being tend to have lower emotion-driven impulsiveness, while those who experience more stressful life events tend to have higher emotion-driven impulsiveness. Therefore, psychosocial well-being and stressful life events should be further considered in the development of health promotion strategies aiming to reduce emotion-driven impulsiveness.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between stressful life events (SLEs) and the risk of cognitive impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The results showed that the death of an offspring or parent was a risk factor for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged >45 years. However, high work pressure and career changes were protective factors against MCI.

Summary: This study found a significant association between stressful life events and openness to experience, with participants with a history of depression exhibiting higher levels of openness. Furthermore, openness to experience was related to overall intelligence but not processing speed or working memory. The findings suggest that openness to experience may partially mediate the relationship between stressful life events and depression in rural populations with high social and environmental homogeneity.

Summary: This study found significantly lower levels of s-Klotho in children with type 1 diabetes, correlated with HbA1c and HDL cholesterol, but not with adhesion molecule concentrations or the duration of the disease. Negative correlation between the levels of HbA1c and soluble Klotho may suggest its possible involvement in the development of chronic diabetes complications.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the association between trajectories of stressful life events (SLEs) during adolescence and changes in mental health from childhood to young adulthood, and to examine whether family functioning moderates this association. The findings suggest that experiencing SLEs during adolescence does not have a direct impact on changes in mental health, but early adolescence mental health problems increase the likelihood of experiencing SLEs.

Summary: This study examined the association of adipokines (leptin, adiponectin), hs-CRP, and IL-6 with cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents with T1D. The results showed positive associations of leptin with BMI, fat mass, and hip circumference, as well as negative associations of adiponectin with BMI and muscle mass. Hs-CRP was associated with weight, fat mass, and BMI. Leptin, adiponectin, and hs-CRP could be used as prognostic indicators of cardiovascular risk in children with T1D.

Summary: This study found that the more stressful life events a pregnant woman experiences, the higher the prevalence of electronic cigarette use. Women who experienced 6 or more stressful life events had significantly higher odds of using electronic cigarettes compared to those who experienced 0 stressful life events. Higher number of stressful life events was associated with increased relative risk of all smoking outcomes, especially for exclusive electronic cigarette users and dual users.

Summary: Diabetes mellitus is associated with impaired immune response and increases the risk of severe infectious diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected diabetes patients, especially those with comorbidities or poor glycemic control. Advanced tools for glycemic management and improved metabolic control can mitigate the negative impact of infections in pediatric diabetes.

Summary: This prospective cohort study found that insulin resistance measured by eGDR is associated with cardiovascular events, vascular interventions, and mortality in individuals with type 1 diabetes, and high eGDR levels are independently associated with lower risks of these outcomes. Therefore, modifying insulin resistance through lifestyle interventions or pharmacological treatments could be a promising therapeutic target to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in this population.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism through which stress influences the development of problematic internet use (PIU) and found that psychological capital (PsyCap) completely mediates the relationship between stressful life events and PIU. Additionally, the impact of stress on PsyCap differs between middle school students and high school students. These findings are important for further understanding the development of PIU in adolescents.

Summary: The development of habit and automaticity for goal-directed health behaviors can improve daily health behavior engagement. Higher perceived automaticity for diabetes self-management was associated with better self-management, fewer self-regulation failures in glucose checking, and lower average daily blood glucose levels in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes. Further research is needed to explore the benefits and mechanisms of automaticity for diabetes self-management.
