The results showed that 33.0% of participants reported HED, with higher rates among men and past 12-month drinkers. Factors such as male sex, age, education level, tobacco use, second-hand smoke exposure, and frequent meals outside the home were associated with increased odds of HED. These findings highlight the need for population-level interventions to reduce HED.

Summary: “This study provides estimates on the prevalence of comorbid alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco use among school adolescents in Liberia and Mauritius. Around one in five students reported using one type of substance, while a smaller percentage reported using two or three types simultaneously. Factors such as gender, age, parental tobacco use, passive smoking, psychological distress, soft drink intake, school truancy, and low parental support were associated with a higher likelihood of comorbid substance use. Interventions targeting comorbid substance use among adolescents should prioritize these identified factors.”

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the longitudinal associations between mental health and lifestyle factors with falls among rural South Africans. The results showed that the risk of falls was associated with older age, short sleep, persistent depressive symptoms, low hand grip strength, sedentary behavior, functional disability, and restless sleep. However, individuals who reported engaging in physical activity had a lower risk for falls. The findings suggest that fall prevention programs should focus on modifiable factors such as improving sleep, mental health, and promoting physical activity among rural aging populations in South Africa.
