Background: In 2004-2005, a survey carried out on food recipients in France revealed an alarming nutritional situation. In 2011-2012, and using a protocol similar to that of 2004-2005, our objective was to update the description of sociodemographic characteristics, dietary behaviors and clinical parameters of food assistance recipients and to analyze changes since 2004-2005.
Methods: Both surveys included multistage random sampling of adults benefitting from structures that supply food pantries and charitable grocery stores.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on HCV infection among drug users, highlighting the need for randomized sampling methods that account for their use of multiple specialized services.
- A significant cross-sectional survey was conducted, with a strong participation rate (75%) and a high HCV seroprevalence of 59.8%, particularly among those under 30, indicating many are unaware of their infection status.
- Key factors linked to HCV positivity included older age, HIV status, drug injection history, use of opiate substitution treatments, crack cocaine use, and unstable housing conditions.
Background: We evaluated the prevalence of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection before and after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) availability among neonates born to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected mothers. We also identified maternal risk factors associated with in utero CMV transmission.
Method: Routine screening for congenital CMV infection was performed from 1993 through 2004 in children born to HIV-1-infected mothers included in the French Perinatal Cohort (Enquête Périnatale Française).
