This study investigated the relationship between e-Health literacy and SSA countries' perceptions of the importance of readiness for potential pandemics.

- A study surveyed over 16,500 adults from 30 countries to assess their fears related to various diseases and events, focusing on the implications for public health strategies.
- The most significant fear reported was the loss of family members, followed by fears of cancer and stroke, while factors such as losing a mobile phone and social isolation ranked as less feared.
- The findings suggest that understanding these fears can enhance public health messaging and support initiatives aimed at addressing bereavement, promoting preventive services for diseases, and managing fears during health emergencies.
Background: Central and bridge nodes can drive significant overall improvements within their respective networks. We aimed to identify them in 16 prevalent chronic diseases during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to guide effective intervention strategies and appropriate resource allocation for most significant holistic lifestyle and health improvements.
Methods: We surveyed 16 512 adults from July 2020 to August 2021 in 30 territories.
Background: The interconnected nature of lifestyles and interim health outcomes implies the presence of the central lifestyle, central interim health outcome and bridge lifestyle, which are yet to be determined. Modifying these factors holds immense potential for substantial positive changes across all aspects of health and lifestyles. We aimed to identify these factors from a pool of 18 lifestyle factors and 13 interim health outcomes while investigating potential gender and occupation differences.
