Objectives: Physical activity (PA) is crucial for older adults' wellbeing. Digital health interventions (DHIs) are important, however a synthesis aimed at healthy community-dwelling OA is lacking. This study aims to synthesize DHIs effect on PA levels among community-dwelling 60-year-old adults or older.

This study evaluates the immunogenicity and antibody persistence of the BNT162b2 vaccine in people living with HIV (PLWH).
Methods: We monitored anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike IgG concentration in a cohort of PLWH at five time points (T0-T4) using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassays (CMIAs) at the baselined both during and after vaccination.
Background: Increased screen time in children is significantly associated with lower adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD). The purpose of this study was to explore the association between different types of media use and the adherence to the MD in children.
Methods: The study sample included 332 children aged 10-11 years attending the fifth year of primary school in Veneto, north-east Italy.
Regular physical exercise lowers the risk of all-cause mortality and various chronic diseases. New technologies, such as smartphones and social media, have been used successfully as health promotion tools in college populations. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of studies examining the effectiveness of interventions that used modern technologies, as with social media or text messaging, to promote physical activity or reducing sedentary behavior in college students.

- The study explores the rising costs of care for melanoma patients, driven by increased disease incidence and new treatments, using data from 2,647 cases registered in the Veneto Cancer Registry.
- Average direct costs per patient peak in the first year post-diagnosis (€2,903), primarily due to high hospitalization costs, which are significantly reduced in subsequent years; outpatient and drug costs also decrease over time.
- Findings suggest that understanding costs by tumor characteristics can help in managing expenses related to melanoma care, highlighting the need for policy makers to consider stage-specific costs for resource allocation.
