Accelerometer-Based Estimates of Physical Activity and Sedentary Time Among Samoan Adults
CONCLUSIONS: This study characterizes physical activity among Samoan adults and highlights variation by sex, urbanicity, and weight status. In providing initial device-measured estimates of physical activity in Samoa, this analysis establishes a baseline from which the success of future attempts to intervene on physical activity may be assessed.PMID:38621669 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2023-0590 (Source: Journal of Physical Activity and Health)

National taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages and its association with overweight, obesity, and diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Taxation is highly heterogeneous across countries in terms of products and design, which might influence its effectiveness. Our findings provide some evidence regarding a deceleration of the increasing prevalence rates of overweight and obesity among children occurring in some countries following introduction of taxation.

Strongyloidiasis in Auckland: A ten-year retrospective study of diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of a predominantly Polynesian and Fijian migrant cohort
This study aimed to describe the epidemiology and management of strongyloidiasis in Auckland, with a focus on migrants from Pacific Island Countries and Territories. MethodsThis study retrospectively reviewed clinical, laboratory and pharmacy records data for all people diagnosed with strongyloidiasis in the Auckland region between July 2012 and June 2022. People with negativeStrongyloides serology were included to estimate seropositivity rate by country of birth. FindingsOver ten years, 691 people were diagnosed with strongyloidiasis. Most diagnoses were made by serology alone (441, 64%). The median age was 63 years (rang...

Age-specific case data reveal varying dengue transmission intensity in US states and territories
by Sarah Kada, Gabriela Paz-Bailey, Laura E. Adams, Michael A. Johansson
Dengue viruses (DENV) are endemic in the US territories of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the US Virgin Islands, with focal outbreaks also reported in the states of Florida and Hawaii. However, little is known about the intensity of dengue virus transmission over time and how dengue viruses have shaped the level of immunity in these populations, despite the importance of understanding how and why levels of immunity against dengue may change over time. These changes need to be considered when responding to future outbreaks and enacting dengue manage...
