Summary: In community-dwelling older women, self-rated health status was associated with an increased risk of future hip fractures but was not found to be associated with all-cause mortality. This suggests that self-rated health could be a useful marker for predicting the risk of hip fractures independently of bone mineral density.

Summary: This study aimed to develop life tables incorporating the health status of adults in the United States. The research found that life expectancies incorporating health status differed significantly from standard life tables, with poor health leading to substantial decreases in life expectancy, particularly for younger individuals. The findings of this study are of importance for clinical decision making.

Summary: This study examined changes in health and working hour patterns over time and their associations with lifestyle and mental health. The results showed that trajectories of suboptimal and declining health were associated with trajectories of reducing working hours and leaving night work, and were more common in employees with unhealthy lifestyle, sleep problems, and psychological distress.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between self-rated health, interviewer-rated health, objective health and mortality among Chinese older adults. The findings showed that baseline self-rated health, interviewer-rated health, and objective health were significantly associated with 10-year mortality. Additionally, changes in self-rated health, interviewer-rated health, and objective health from 2008 to 2014 were significantly associated with 4-year mortality. It is suggested to promote the use of cost-effective indicators in primary medical institutions to improve health management for older adults.

Summary: This study is a follow-up of 125 participants from the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean asthma family cohort in Canada over a period of 10-20 years. The study aims to explore the appearance, persistence, and progression of asthma. The results show that 12% of participants without asthma at recruitment developed adult-onset asthma, and 7% of individuals with asthma developed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Lung function decreased in all groups.

Summary: The study demonstrates that self-rated health can reliably predict mortality for cognitively intact individuals, even after adjusting for other factors. For cognitively impaired individuals, self-rated health still has some predictive value for mortality.

Summary: The study found that there is a relationship between depressive symptoms and changes in self-rated health among middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults, with depression at baseline being a predictor of decline in self-rated health and negatively associated with improvements. Early monitoring and management of depressive symptoms may be beneficial for maintaining and improving self-rated health in this population.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between acculturation and self-rated health among international medical students. The findings showed that both types of immersion, immersion into their own ethnic group and immersion into the Hungarian society, can affect the students' self-rated health. These findings are important for professionals in shaping culturally sensitive prevention and counselling strategies for international student populations.

Summary: The negative association between income inequality and health is present across all income quintiles in Colombia, indicating that reducing income disparities can potentially contribute to improving individual's health. However, the magnitude of this association may decrease when using inequality measures with greater sensitivity to income differences among the rich.

Summary: In Denmark, the Cancer Patient Pathway for Non-Specific Signs and Symptoms (NSSC-CPP) has been implemented with variations, either with general practitioners (GPs) or hospitals conducting the initial diagnostic work-up. This study compared the occurrence of colon cancer and risk of non-localised cancer stage between the GP and hospital paradigms.

Summary: Family conflicts have a detrimental effect on children's health. This study examines the association between household conflicts and the health of children aged 6-12 years and explores how this association may vary by socioeconomic status and multimorbidity in the household. The results show that conflicts are negatively associated with children's health, and this association varies depending on the level of multimorbidity and socioeconomic status.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effects of different categories of influences on the intention to participate in a screening programme and whether participants were aware of these influences. The results showed that some influences, such as misrepresentation of harms, fear appeals, and combined influences, significantly increased the intention to participate. However, most participants were not aware of these influences. Therefore, the use of influences should be carefully considered in interventions where an informed choice is desired.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of multimorbidity among low back pain (LBP) patients in chiropractic practice and examined whether multimorbidity affects pain intensity, self-rated health, physical and mental health. The results showed that patients with multimorbidity have poorer general health and recovery from LBP compared to those without chronic disease. Clinical follow-up is recommended for patients with multimorbidity.

Summary: This study evaluated the Danish version of the prenatal parental reflective functioning questionnaire (P-PRFQ). It found that better parental reflective functioning leads to better outcomes for the child. The regression analysis showed unexpected associations between the P-PRFQ score and predictive variables, raising questions about its use as a screening tool for assessing prenatal reflective functioning.

Summary: The current study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-patellar tendinopathy (VISA-P) questionnaire. The results showed that the VISA-P did not fit a unidimensional model, yielded at best a 3-factor model, and exhibited differential item functioning (DIF) across healthy subjects versus people with patellar tendinopathy. Therefore, a new PROM for patellar tendinopathy should be developed and appropriately validated.
