Cardiovascular comorbidities in psoriasis (Review)
Exp Ther Med. 2022 Feb;23(2):152. doi: 10.3892/etm.2021.11075. Epub 2021 Dec 17.ABSTRACTLong considered a skin-limited condition, psoriasis is currently defined as a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease, presenting, besides the skin changes, important systemic manifestations, the most common being: psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. It is a disease with a strong psycho-emotional and social impact, both through skin changes such as pruritic, scaly erythematous plaques, and through the association of comorbidities th...

Healthcare resource utilisation for chronic kidney disease and other major non-communicable chronic diseases in China: a cross-sectional study
Conclusions The presence of diagnosed CKD alongside each major NCD was associated with an additional burden on the healthcare system. Healthcare resource utilisation and prognosis of CKD were comparable with those of other major NCDs, which highlights the importance of CKD as a major public health burden.

Calcium supplementation for prevention of primary hypertension
CONCLUSIONS: An increase in calcium intake slightly reduces both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in normotensive people, particularly in young people, suggesting a role in the prevention of hypertension. The effect across multiple prespecified subgroups and a possible dose response effect reinforce this conclusion. Even small reductions in blood pressure could have important health implications for reducing vascular disease. A 2 mmHg lower systolic blood pressure is predicted to produce about 10% lower stroke mortality and about 7% lower mortality from ischaemic heart disease. There is a great need for adequately-pow...

Roselle for hypertension in adults
CONCLUSIONS: The evidence is currently insufficient to determine the effectiveness of Roselle compared to placebo for controlling or lowering blood pressure in people with hypertension. The certainty of evidence was very low due to methodological limitations, imprecision, and indirectness. There is a need for rigorous RCTs that address the review question.PMID:34837382 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD007894.pub3

Interventions in outside-school hours childcare settings for promoting physical activity amongst schoolchildren aged 4 to 12 years
CONCLUSIONS: Although the review included nine trials, the evidence for how to increase children's physical activity in outside-school hours care settings remains limited, both in terms of certainty of evidence and magnitude of the effect. Of the types of interventions identified, when assessed using GRADE there was low-certainty evidence that multi-component interventions, with a specific physical activity goal may have a small increase in daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and a slight reduction in BMI. There was very low-certainty evidence that interventions increase cardiovascular fitness. By contrast there w...

Cut-off values for anthropometric indices in predicting morbidity and mortality in Turkey: a cohort
ConclusionsThis cohort study in Turkey showed that having higher anthropometric measurements is mostly associated with higher CHD incidence and mostly lower mortality among older men. This association deserves further studies.Key messagesIn Turkey, higher anthropometric measurements are associated with higher coronary heart disease incidence in among participants.In Turkey, higher anthropometric measurements are mostly associated with lower all-cause mortality in older age-groups.

Modelling the impact of compliance fruit and vegetable intake recommendations on mortality in Russia
ConclusionsThe modelling illustrates the potentially large social benefits of compliance with national fruit and vegetable intake recommendations.Key messagesDespite strong evidence indicating that low fruit and vegetable intake relates to chronic diseases and mortality, most adults do not comply with dietary recommendations.The modelling illustrates the potentially large social benefits of compliance with national fruit and vegetable intake recommendations.

Noncommunicable disease incidences in 2012-2017, Turkey
ConclusionsRegardless of the difficulties in comparing incidence of NCD with other countries, we think our results show that hypertension, diabetes, stroke and CHD have higher incidence than Western European countries. We also showed that these metrics can be obtained through data linkage of National Health Records for the first time in Turkey.Key messagesThe NCDs needs to be monitored by surveillance using the current data sources for health services.This data can provide very useful information regularly to monitor and control NCDs if necessary actions are taken to adjust data management.

Prevalence and economic burden of major comorbidities in multiple sclerosis
ConclusionsOur study provides evidence of the burden of comorbidities in MS. Comorbidity is common in MS and produce additive costs.Key messagesThe use of administrative data for tracking the MS comorbidity could help knowledge gaps.When additivity situation is involved, preventive policies could lead to monetary savings.

Sex differences in the risk of coronary heart disease associated with socioeconomic status in Turkey
ConclusionsThis study of health outcomes in Turkey did not find sex differences in CVD in association with educational status but did show sex differences in association with employment status. This finding suggests that social determinants in middle-income countries may affect men and women differently than in high-income countries.Key messagesSocial determinants in middle-income countries may affect men and women differently with regards to the risk of CHD than in high-income countries.Employment status can predict the risk of CHD in middle-income countries.
