Disparities in adherence to physical activity guidelines among US adults: A population-based study.

The objective of this study was to determine adherence to national guidelines for aerobic and muscle-strengthening physical activity among United States (US) adults and identify factors associated with guideline nonadherence. The 2022 National Health Interview Survey data were analyzed to evaluate self-reported physical activity among 26,494 US adults. Adherence to national guidelines was defined as engaging in ≥150 minutes moderate-intensity or ≥75 minutes vigorous-intensity aerobic activity/week, and muscle-strengthening activity ≥2 days/week.

Mortality and Serious Adverse Events Associated With Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists: A Pharmacovigilance Study Using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System.

Purpose Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are an increasingly prevalent class of drugs for managing overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Postmarket surveillance is essential for characterizing their risk profiles in real-world patient populations as clinical use increases. This study investigated the association of GLP-1RAs with mortality and serious adverse events (AEs) reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Depression and Anxiety Among Sexual Minorities in the United States: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the National Health Interview Survey.

Background and objective Sexual minorities experience large-scale mental health disparities, yet recent national data on them remains scarce. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms by sexual orientation in a nationally representative sample of adults in the United States (US). Methods This cross-sectional analysis utilized data from 26,311 adults in the 2022 National Health Interview Survey.

Prevalence and Determinants of Undiagnosed Liver Steatosis and Fibrosis in a Nationally Representative Sample of US Adults.

Background Chronic liver diseases account for approximately 1.9 million deaths globally every year and negatively affect health-related quality of life. Early detection of liver disease may enable timely treatment, potentially improving patient outcomes.

Determinants of life dissatisfaction among adults in the United States: A cross-sectional analysis of the National Health Interview Survey.

The number of Americans who report dissatisfaction with their quality of life has increased over the past several decades. This study investigated social- and health-related determinants of life dissatisfaction among adults in the United States (US). We conducted a cross-sectional observational study using data from the 2021 National Health Interview Survey, a nationally representative sample of adults in the US.

Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of hospital mortality in patients with Covid-19: Systematic review with meta-analysis.

Background: The mortality rate associated with Covid-19 varies considerably among studies and determinants of this variability are not well characterized.

Methods: A systematic review of peer-reviewed literature published through March 31, 2020 was performed to estimate the mortality rate among hospitalized patients in China with a confirmed diagnosis of Covid-19. Hospital mortality rates were estimated using an inverse variance-weighted random-effects meta-analysis model.

Data regarding country-specific variability in Covid-19 prevalence, incidence, and case fatality rate.

This article contains data on country-specific variability in Covid-19 prevalence, incidence, and case fatality rate among the 238 countries globally. We used the World Health Organization worldwide Covid-19 tracking site to determine the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases, the number of fatalities attributed to Covid-19, and the case fatality rate for each of 238 countries. Using data from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, we extracted key country-specific metrics with potential associations with Covid-19 including total population, land area, population density, percentage of residents living in urban areas, and median age.

Spatial Analysis of Global Variability in Covid-19 Burden.

Background: Since the first occurrence of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), a number of online tools have become available to assist with tracking Covid-19 prevalence. Yet we are unaware of resources that provide country-specific Covid-19 incidence data.

Methods: We undertook a descriptive analysis of the global impact of Covid-19 using data reported on March 17, 2020.
