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.

Sex differences in the associations of socioeconomic status with stroke in the Turkish Population
ConclusionsIn this Turkish population, stroke risk was greater in women than in men. Increasing education was associated with a reduced risk of stroke in Turkish women, whereas the only completion of primary education was protective for men, with no further protection at increased educational levels. Further exploration of sex and gender risk differences in moderate-income countries may lead to improved efforts at risk reduction.Key messagesEducation level as a social determinant of health in middle-income countries may affect men and women differently with regards to the risk of strokeUnderstanding sex differences in the ...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 10301: Prevalence of Mental Health Disorders among Elderly Diabetics and Associated Risk Factors in Indonesia
d Aljunid This cross-sectional study aimed to explore mental health disorders (MHD) prevalence among elderly diabetics in Indonesia. Data were extracted from the 2018 national basic health survey in Indonesia (abbreviated as RISKESDAS). The survey involved households randomly selected from 34 provinces, 416 districts, and 98 cities in Indonesia, with 1,017,290 respondents. The number of subjects selected in this study was 2818 elderly diabetic subjects. MHD was determined by self-reporting assessment. Secondary data acquired from RISKESDAS 2018 data involved age, sex, urban–rural residence status, marital status, edu...

Community planning for a "healthy built environment" via a human-environment nexus? A multifactorial assessment of environmental characteristics and age-specific stroke mortality in Hong Kong
In conclusion, urban plans and designs for stroke mortality prevention should implement age-specific health care to neighborhoods with particular population segments.PMID:34543905 | DOI:10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132043

Incidence of Cognitive Impairment during Aging in Rural South Africa: Evidence from HAALSI, 2014 to 2019
Conclusions: This study presents some of the first incidence rate estimates for aging-related cognitive impairment in rural South Africa. Social disparities in incident cognitive impairment rates were apparent in patterns similar to those observed in many high-income countries.Neuroepidemiology

Social Determinants of Emergency Department Visits among Persons Diagnosed with Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke.
Conclusion: Being Black, unmarried, unemployed, and having lower income levels were associated with a higher likelihood of having ≥1 ED visits in the prior 12 months among individuals with a CHD or stroke diagnosis. SDOH should be considered when developing systematic interventions to prevent costly ED visits. PMID: 33519154 [PubMed - in process]

Prevalence of overweight and obesity and associated factors among women of childbearing age in Brazil.
CONCLUSION: The results showed an association between excess weight and sociodemographic factors, both determinants of general and reproductive health history. Implementation of effective public health policies is necessary to prevent unfavorable outcomes related to the health of women of childbearing age with excess weight.

Impact of comorbid conditions on health care expenditure and work-related outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
CONCLUSION: Comorbid conditions in RA patients were associated with higher annual health care expenditure, lower likelihood of employment, higher rates of absenteeism and lower income. Despite its low prevalence, heart failure was associated with the highest incremental health care expenditure and the lowest likelihood of being employed compared to other common comorbid conditions.

Incorporating Neighborhood Socioeconomic Disadvantage Measures in Rehabilitation Clinical Trials
Socioeconomic disadvantage measures characterize the relative disadvantage of an individual or social network using indicators of employment, housing, poverty, and education. While related to a number of health outcomes, socioeconomic disadvantage measures have not been routinely incorporated in rehabilitation research. The purpose of this analysis was to examine the relationships of the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) with stroke survivor (SS) and carepartner (CP) factors, and family functioning.

A qualitative exploration of the sociology of poststroke visual impairments and the associated health inequalities
ConclusionThe stroke survivors frequently reported a complete lack of visual care, with many recounting apathetic experiences, often resonating power imbalance in the healthcare system. Where suitable care is being offered after stroke, a desire for a personalized approach to rehabilitation, with adapted communication methods specific to individual needs, featured strongly in many of the respondent accounts. The findings emphasize a need to ensure vision rehabilitation is offered to all stroke survivors suffering from poststroke visual impairment, and to educate stroke clinicians and patients of the bigger picture of life ...

Survival in Adversity: Trends in Mortality Among Blacks in the United States, 1900-2010.
Authors: Hahn RA Abstract The goal of this study was to analyze trends in black age-adjusted mortality rates (AADR) from 1900 through 2010 and to propose explanations. Analyses included a descriptive study of trends in AADR from major causes for blacks and age-specific all-cause mortality at each decade. In 1900, all-cause AADRs were higher for blacks than whites. Over the century, differences decreased substantially. Reductions mortality were greatest among young people, lowest among older adults. Deaths from infectious diseases showed the greatest decrease. Heart disease mortality among blacks increased from 1920...

Prevalence of Recurrent Stroke among a Rehabilitation Cohort in Nigeria.
CONCLUSION: Approximately 1 in 3 stroke survivors undergoing rehabilitation had experienced stroke recurrence. The finding of this study buttresses the urgent need to emphasize and aggressively pursue secondary stroke prevention. Further studies are, however, required to explore those potentially modifiable factors that are associated with recurrent stroke, and having more representative samples.

308 Association of Diabetes and Frailty with Mortality in Middle-Aged and Older Europeans
ConclusionFrailty and pre-frailty are independent risk factors for mortality in diabetics. The identification of frailty is important for the risk-stratification and management of middle aged and older patients with diabetes and should be included in the routine assessment of these high-risk individuals.
