Determinants of cancer screenings participation in Queensland: a scoping review.

Introduction Cancer screening programmes for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer have successfully reduced mortality rates among target groups. However, a large proportion of women and men are unscreened. Aim This review aims to provide an overview of the literature regarding the determinants of cancer screening participation among target groups in Queensland.

[Health in All Policies - Developments, Priorities and Strategies for Germany].

The concept Health in All Policies (HiAP) looks at health from an inter-sectoral perspective. It has 2 main principles: firstly, investigation of the impact of policy decisions from all sectors on health and wellbeing and secondly, creation of synergies to improve health equity. HiAP serves as a foundation for dealing with the health-related challenges we face today: climate change, good nursing care, inclusion, social equity, availability of health care as well as quality of life both in urban centers and rural regions.

[The baseline assessment of the German National Cohort (NAKO Gesundheitsstudie): participation in the examination modules, quality assurance, and the use of secondary data].

Background: The German National Cohort (NAKO) is an interdisciplinary health study aimed at elucidating causes for common chronic diseases and detecting their preclinical stages. This article provides an overview of design, methods, participation in the examinations, and their quality assurance based on the midterm baseline dataset (MBD) of the recruitment.

Methods: More than 200,000 women and men aged 20-69 years derived from random samples of the German general population were recruited in 18 study centers (2014-2019).

[Reference Values for Cardiorespiratory Fitness of the General Population: The German National Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) 2008-2011].

Aim Of Study: This study aims to provide population-based reference values for heart rate-based indicators of cardiorespiratory fitness for adults with physical activity readiness aged 18 to 64 years living in Germany.

Methods: Based on data on 2,826 individuals who participated in a submaximal cycle ergometer exercise test as part of the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) between 2008 and 2011, we calculated the following indicators: physical working capacity at 150 and 130 beats/min and at 75% of estimated maximum heart rate (PWC150, PWC130 and PWC75%) as well as heart rate-based estimated maximum oxygen uptake (VOmax). We used the LMS method by Cole & Green 1992 to calculate reference values.
