IMPORTANCE: There are considerable socioeconomic status (SES) disparities in youth physical activity (PA) levels. For example, studies show that lower-SES youth are less active, have lower participation in organized sports and physical education classes, and have more limited access to PA equipment. OBJECTIVE: To determine the potential public health and economic effects of eliminating disparities in PA levels among US youth SES groups. DESIGN AND SETTING: An agent-based model representing all 6- to 17-year-old children in the US was used to simulate the epidemiological, clinical, and economic effects of disparities in PA levels among different SES groups and the effect of reducing these disparities...

Income inequality affects population health and wellbeing negatively. In Greenland, health inequality has been shown to exist among social groups, regionally and according to urbanization, and between Inuit and migrants from Denmark. The purpose of the study was to compare the changes in health inequality from 1993 to 2018 according to three measures of social position, i.e. a socioeconomic measure (household assets), a measure of urbanization and a composite sociocultural index. We hypothesized that social inequality in health increased parallel to the increasing economic inequality in Greenland...

OBJECTIVES: Lifestyle, overnutrition, socioeconomic status, environmental conditions, and genetics are factors that cause obesity. Lifestyle modification with a nonpharmacological approach based on physical exercise is the starting point in overcoming obesity. However, physical exercise with the appropriate and effective intensity for obese subjects is still debated. Therefore, this study aims to prove the effect of intensity differences with aerobic-resistance combination exercise on increasing irisin and IL-6 levels in obese women...

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a global epidemic affecting all age groups, populations, and income levels across continents, though is known to disproportionately affect socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. The causes of obesity are complex, informed by diet and weight practices, but shaped by social, commercial, and environmental factors and government policy. Consequently, a Whole System Approach (WSA)-which considers the many causes of obesity and shifts the focus away from individuals as points of intervention and puts an emphasis on understanding and improving the system in which people live-is required...

BACKGROUND: Breast density (BD) is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. Little is known about how BD develops during puberty. Understanding BD trajectories during puberty and its determinants could be crucial for promoting preventive actions against breast cancer (BC) at early ages. The objective of this research is to characterize % fibroglandular volume (%FGV), absolute fibroglandular volume (AFGV), and breast volume (BV) at different breast Tanner stages until 4-year post menarche in a Latino cohort and to assess determinants of high %FGV and AFGV during puberty and in a fully mature breast...

BACKGROUND: An elevated Body Mass Index (BMI) is a major cause of transplant preclusion for patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). This phenomenon exacerbates existing socioeconomic and racial disparities and increases the economic burden of maintaining patients on dialysis. Metabolic Bariatric Surgery (MBS) in such patients is not widely available. Our center created a collaborative program to undergo weight loss surgery before obtaining a kidney transplant. STUDY DESIGN: We studied the outcomes of these patients post MBS and transplant surgery...

The WHO Western Pacific region bears disproportionate deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs), with increased overall NCD proportional mortality over the past two decades. The disease burden of mental health increased, resulting from rapid ageing, enhanced stress, and the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was largely neglected. The highly diverse cultures, religions, political systems, socioeconomic contexts, lifestyles, and environmental factors probably have led to massive disparities across countries in NCD mortality, risk factors, and NCD management...

Knees are the most regularly affected weight-bearing joints in osteoarthritis (OA), impacting millions of individuals across the globe. The incidence of knee OA will further rise with increasing rates of obesity and lifespan, resulting in a significant increase in the worldwide socioeconomic burden. Conventional therapies used to manage the symptoms associated with knee OA have limitations. Lately, there has been an increased interest in the use of autologous peripheral blood-derived orthobiologics (APBO), including autologous protein solution (APS), for the management of knee OA...
