Objective: To identify characteristics associated with bullying involvement in pediatric ADHD.
Methods: Data from the 2016 to 2017 National Survey of Children's Health for children aged 6 to 17 years with ADHD were evaluated to assess the association between parent-reported bullying victimization or perpetration and the following potential predictors: demographic characteristics, family factors, school factors, and child conditions/behaviors.
Results: Among children with ADHD, 46.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the prevalence of lifestyle-related cardiovascular risk factors among adults in Arequipa, Peru, focusing on behaviors like smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and diet.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 1,878 participants, revealing that smoking rates were significantly higher in men (31.1%) compared to women (12.1%), and men also had higher rates of current alcohol use (55.5% vs. 19.7%) and binge drinking (36.1% vs. 6.4%).
- - With over half of the population being insufficiently active and many consuming high-fat diets and low amounts of fruits and vegetables, the findings highlight an urgent need for preventive health programs to
Endogenous NO synthase inhibitors (end-NOSIs) have been associated with cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerosis. In addition, end-NOSIs may directly cause hypertension through hemodynamic effects. We aimed to examine the association between end-NOSI asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) and N-guanidino-monomethyl-arginine (NMMA), subclinical atherosclerosis, and arterial hemodynamics.

- * Among women, low HDL cholesterol and abdominal obesity were the most common MTS components, while men mostly had elevated triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol.
- * The overall prevalence of MTS was higher in women (23.2%) than in men (14.3%), especially increasing with age, indicating a need for further research on underlying causes specific to this population.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular disease is becoming increasingly prevalent in Latin America, with a study of 1,878 Andean adults in Peru revealing a hypertension prevalence of 15.7%, which rises sharply with age, especially among women.
- Awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension were low, with only 47.9% of patients aware of their condition, 39.5% receiving treatment, and a mere 14% achieving effective control.
- The study found that the most common type of hypertension in this population was systodiastolic (41.7%), differing from the U.S. where isolated systolic hypertension is more prevalent, indicating unique genetic and environmental factors influencing hypertension in Andean communities.
