Rationale and Design of the Hamburg City Health Study
AbstractThe Hamburg City Health Study  (HCHS) is a large, prospective, long-term, population-based cohort study and a unique research platform and network to obtain substantial knowledge about several important risk and prognostic factors in major chronic diseases. A random sample of 45,000 participants between 45 and 74 years of age from the general population of Hamburg, Germany, are taking part in an extensive baseline assessment at one dedicated study center. Participants undergo 13 validated and 5 novel examinations primarily targeting major organ system function and structures including extensive imaging examinatio...

Factors Influencing Access to Follow-Up Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis was identified as the most important criterion for follow-up rehabilitation access. No measurable factors of functioning seem to have a big influence. Therefore, the individual doctor's decision to submit an application is of particular importance. Especially because of the low level of medical knowledge on the indication catalog of the German pension insurance, the medical treatment based on professional experience as well as the lack of further education possibilities (Gottschling-Lang, 2016), it can be assumed that the follow-up rehabilitation is less standardized and systematic. In order to e...

Return to the workforce following infective endocarditis —A nationwide cohort study

Japanese automakers get in on health robotics
ReWalk Robotics Japanese automakers, including Toyota (NSDQ:ADR), are reportedly turning their focus to robots to help the country’s rapidly aging society. Japan faces dwindling demand for cars and its falling population has yielded labor shortages and pension squeezes. Toyota today launched a rental service for its walk assist system, which helps stroke survivors learn how to walk again. Get the full story at our sister site, Medical Design & Outsourcing. The post Japanese automakers get in on health robotics appeared first on MassDevice.

The idea you can be fat but fit is 'a myth' study argues
ConclusionThis was a large prospective cohort study from Sweden, which was carried out in young adult males who were then followed for a period of around 29 years. The study found that lower levels of aerobic fitness were associated with risk of early death, but that this risk of death was greater for those with a high BMI, even if they had a high level of aerobic fitness. This study has a number of strengths and limitations. The limitations are that a large number of participants had missing smoking data and therefore it was not possible to control for the confounding effect of smoking. The lower fitness level group with...

Predictors of permanent work disability among ≤50-year-old patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Conclusions Patients ≤50 years old undergoing PCI are at a high risk for subsequent permanent disability for cardiac diagnoses. This finding underscores the need for reinforcing adherence to secondary prevention by cardiac rehabilitation and early collaboration with occupational health care professionals. by Gunn J, Kiviniemi T, Biancari F, Kajander O, Mäkikallio T, Eskola M, Ilveskoski E, Korpilahti K, Wistbacka J-O, Anttila V, Heikkinen J, Airaksinen J. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3507

Rethinking Retirement in the 21st Century
Conclusion In the 21st century, many seniors are not retiring from something. Instead, retirement is an opportunity for reinventing, reimagining and reconnecting to one's self, family, friends and community. Robert Browning once wrote, "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be." By investing in your physical, mental and financial health today, you can help ensure that your best years are just ahead. Rear Admiral Susan Blumenthal, M.D., M.P.A.

UK life expectancy expected to rise to late 80s by 2030
Conclusion This analysis of population data provides some fascinating information about how life expectancy has changed over the past 30 years, and how it may change in the future. It found life expectancy for men and women will continue to rise. However, it also found the existing trends of the difference in life expectancy between different districts will continue to rise, which is of concern. Although the data shows more deprived areas have seen less of an improvement in life expectancy, the study cannot inform us what factors are responsible for the differences in life expectancy. There is one big limitation of any s...

Middle age 'starts at 60' claims media
Conclusion This study is an interesting analysis of population data, which shows how looking at figures from a different perspective can change our view. We are used to hearing about "ageing Britain" and how the increasing numbers of older people could be a drain on the country's resources. This study considers whether our definitions of old age are too rigid and need to be revisited. In the paper, the researchers focus on results for Germany, but they have done calculations for 40 European countries, including the UK. This shows that the proportion of people in the UK aged 65 or over, given expected improvement...

Becoming healthier may motivate your partner to join in
Conclusion This cohort study has found that individuals with unhealthy behaviours such as smoking, being inactive or being overweight are most likely to change these behaviours if their unhealthy partner also changes these behaviours. Having a partner who has consistently healthy behaviours was also associated with a greater likelihood of change in smoking and activity compared to a consistently unhealthy partner, but less so than having a partner who changed behaviour. There were some limitations to the study, including that: The study took into account some confounders, such as age and some health conditions, but oth...

Developing stroke-specific vocational rehabilitation: a soft systems analysis of current service provision.
Conclusions: Stroke-specific VR should be delivered by an integrated, cross-sector multi-disciplinary team and integrated commissioning between health and other sectors is necessary. Although early intervention is important, support later on in the recovery process is also necessary. Service providers need adequate training to meet the needs of stroke survivors wishing to return to work and better awareness of best practice guidelines. Business cases which demonstrate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of VR are vital. Implications for Rehabilitation The timeliness of a vocational rehabilitation (VR) intervention is compl...
