Work-family conflict and self-rated health among dwellers in Minia, Egypt: Financial strain vs social support
Egypt's economic reform is accompanied by both financial and social strains. Due to lack of evidence, we examined the associations between work-family conflict in its 2 directions, work-to-family conflicts (WFCs), and family-to-work conflicts (FWCs) and self-rated health in Minia, Egypt, and whether the association will vary by being financially responsible for others and by the level of perceived social support.

Public Health England's Migrant Health Guide: an online resource for primary care practitioners
Approximately 13% of the UK population in 2015 was born overseas. Most migrants have come to the UK to work or study although there has been a small increase in the number of asylum applications in the UK in recent years, reflective of the ongoing humanitarian situation across Europe.Migrants in the UK tend to be young and healthy, but some may face unique health needs as a result of their experiences before, during and after migration. For these needs to be appropriately recognised and addressed, evidence-based advice is needed for UK professionals. (Source: Public Health)

Examining the association between adverse childhood experiences and smoking-exacerbated illnesses
Adults who smoke increase their likelihood of death from smoking-exacerbated illnesses. The presence of illnesses exacerbated by smoking can be a powerful incentive to quit smoking. However, having a smoking-exacerbated illness does not stop all patients from smoking. Understanding that smoking may be a coping mechanism for stress, this study examined the association between the experiences of adverse events in childhood with continued smoking in adulthood among individuals and a smoking-exacerbated illness.

The association of fruit and vegetable consumption with changes in weight and body mass index in Chinese adults: a cohort study

Therefore, we examined the relationship between change in FV consumption, weight, and change in body mass index (BMI) among Chinese adults, participants of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS).

The age pattern of social inequalities in health at older ages: are common measures of socio-economic status interchangeable?
Social inequalities in health have been largely documented in social science research. Members of the most disadvantaged groups experience worse health and higher mortality from birth throughout adulthood. However, it is not clear whether this association persists at older ages. Some studies have found a narrowing of the social gradient in health, at least when ‘traditional’ measures of socio-economic status (SES)—income, education, and occupation—are used. The main goal of the article is to highlight similarities and discrepancies in the age trend of social inequalities in health that arise when multiple measures ...

Re: ‘Physical functioning and risk for sleep disorders in US adults: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005–2014’
We read with great interest the article by Puri et al.1 They provided important evidence that adults with self-reported limitations of physical function (PF) had significantly higher odds of having a doctor diagnosed sleep disorder (SD) compared with those without PF limitation. They also found that ‘participants having cognitive problems and ca rdiovascular and pulmonary disorders as secondary conditions that cause difficulty in PF have 145% and 28% higher odds of having a SD’. When defining ‘cognitive problems’, the authors only considered depression, anxiety, and emotional problems, whereas they failed to take...
