Background: Many adolescents with allergy do not receive physician treatment (allergy). We explored its association with socioeconomic adversities and academic-behavior-health difficulties, which remain unaddressed.

Methods: This cross-sectional school-based-population study compared the above factors of middle-school adolescents with allergy and those with treated allergy (allergy) (mean age = 13.

Substance Use Among Middle School Adolescents: Association with Family Members' and Peers' Substance Use and the Mediating Role of School and Mental Difficulties.

Objective: We assessed the associations of substance (alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and other illicit drugs) use of adolescents with that of their family members (father, mother, step-parent, brothers/sisters, and grandparents) and peers, and the mediating role of school and mental difficulties (SMDs) which remained insufficiently addressed.

Methods: This cross-sectional population-based study included 1,559 middle-school adolescents in France (mean age = 13.5 ± 1.

Associations between excessive screen time and school and out-of-school injuries among adolescents: A population-based study.

Most adolescents spend excessive screen time (with television viewing, computer/console gaming, discussion forums/chatting online, internet surfing, doing homework, and electronic mails) which may impact the occurring of various types of school and out-of-school injuries. We assessed their associations and potential confounding factors among 1559 middle-school students from north-eastern France (mean age=13.5 ± 1.

Associations between School-Behavior-Health Difficulties and Subsequent Injuries among Younger Adolescents: A Population-based Study.

School-behavior-health difficulties (SBHDs) may alter physical/mental capabilities and consequently increase injury risk during daily activities. This study assessed the associations of potential SBHDs and their cumulative number (SBHDcn) with various injury types among younger adolescents. The study population included 1,559 middle-school adolescents in France (10-18 years, 98% under 16,778 boys and 781 girls).

Association of School Health Relationship Difficulties with Lack of Regular Physical Activity in Younger Adolescents: A Population Based Study.

Lack of regular physical activity (LPA) and the number of days/week with physical activity >60 minutes/day (Ndw) may be associated with school-health-relational difficulties (SHRDs) during the life-course. This study assessed their associations and the confounding role of socioeconomic features (nationality, family structure, parents' education/occupation/income) among younger adolescents. This cross-sectional population-based study included 1,559 middle-school adolescents from north-eastern France (10-18 years, 98% under 16 years, 778 boys and 781 girls).

Association between untreated low back pain and injury proneness and confounding role of behavioral-health difficulties among younger adolescents: a population-based study.

Purpose: Low back pain (LPB) is mostly left untreated (LBP) and may increase the injury risk due to associated behavioral-health difficulties (BHDs) among adolescents. This study assessed the association between LBP (vs. treated LBP (LBP)) and injuries and the mediating role of BHDs among younger adolescents (10-16 years).

Development of an intervention program to reduce whole-body vibration exposure based on occupational and individual determinants among dumper operators.

Studies related to a systematic approach for intervention design to reduce whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure are scarce. This study presents a systematic approach to identifying, selecting and prioritizing safety interventions to fulfill that research gap. A total of 130 vibration readings for dumper operators were taken from two surface iron ore mines to identify significant determinants of WBV exposure.

Re-engagement of Early Adolescents with Severe School Issues in School/Professional Project Reduces School-Behavior-Health Problems.

Background: In France, 3.2 million middle-school students have serious/persistent school difficulties and are re-engaged in adapted-general/vocational-education class (AGVEC), created to early re-engage them in school/professional projects. We assessed the AGVEC's benefits for school-behavior-health-related difficulties (SBHDs).

Associations between school difficulties and family type and the role of socioeconomic, behavior and health-related difficulties in early adolescents: a population-based study.

Objectives: Nowadays many early adolescents are living in non-intact families (parents divorced/separated, reconstructed families or single parents) and have many school difficulties (learning difficulty, skipping school, school absence due to family problems, grade repetition, low school performance, and school dropout ideation). This study assessed the associations between school difficulties and family type which remain little addressed and the confounding role of socioeconomic adversities and behavior, social support and health-related difficulties (BSSHDs).

Methods: The study population included 1559 middle-school adolescents from north-eastern France (mean age 13.

Association between depressive symptoms and subsequent injuries in early adolescents: a population-based study.

Objectives: Depressive symptoms (DSs) may be frequent and highly increase the risk of injuries in early adolescents (10-16 years). This study assessed the association between DSs and subsequent school and out-of-school injuries in early adolescents.

Methods: The study population included 1219 middle-school adolescents from north-eastern France (mean age =12.

School, behavior and health-related difficulties in early adolescents with contraceptive consultation: a population-based study in eastern France.

Background: Early adolescence (10-16 years) is a crucial period for physical, mental and cognitive development where a wide range of school, behavior and health-related difficulties may occur. These issues may be aggravated in adolescents with early affective/sexual live and contraceptive consultation. This study assessed the risk of school, behavior and health-related problems among younger boys and girls having a contraceptive consultation.

Association between cumulating substances use and cumulating several school, violence and mental health difficulties in early adolescents.

Multiple substances (alcohol, tobacco, cannabis and other illicit drugs (OID)) have been frequently used in early adolescents maybe due to school, violence and mental-health difficulties. We investigated the associations between substance-use patterns and related difficulties among 1559 middle-school adolescents from north-eastern France (mean age 13.5 ± 1.

Assessment of participation biases for a confidential non-anonymous adolescent study: A based population study.

A prospective study often receives a low participation rate that may alter the results quality. This study assessed the participation bias for a confidential non-anonymous adolescent survey among 1559 middle-school adolescents from north-eastern France (mean age 13.5 ± 1.

Health-related determinants of undiagnosed arterial hypertension: a population-based study.

Background: Undiagnosed arterial hypertension is frequent. Whether it is associated with gender and the absence of cardiovascular-disease warning signs is unknown. Knowledge of the features of undiagnosed-hypertension subjects may help their identification in primary care.

Association between abdominal adiposity and 20-year subsequent aortic stiffness in an initially healthy population-based cohort.

Background: Aortic stiffness is a feature of arterial aging and is associated with dismal cardiovascular prognosis. We examined whether central and general adiposity is an independent predictor of accelerated aortic stiffening 20 years later in initially healthy midlife individuals.

Methods: Participants from the STANISLAS cohort study (826 initially healthy participants aged 30-60 from the Lorraine region in France) underwent clinical and biological measurements at baseline (1994-1995) and after ≈20 years (2011-2016).

Obesity and metabolic features associated with long-term developing diastolic dysfunction in an initially healthy population-based cohort.

Background: Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is increasingly common. However, its metabolic determinants are poorly known. This study aims to determine which metabolic and inflammatory features predict DD in initially healthy adults.

It may be designated coordinator of monitoring during the first two quarters if he has the skills. Monitoring will then be performed in close coordination with other practitioners with a Personal Pregnancy Care-Plan notebook.

Variations in perceived primary healthcare access across family structures and their predictors in adolescents.

Families have greatly changed over time and little is known about primary care access barriers for adolescents associated with family type. We assessed family disparities in lack of listening and treatment explanations (LLTE) by general practitioners (GP), lack of treatment adherence (LTA) and GP change and the confounding roles of socioeconomic factors, school, behaviour and health difficulties among 1559 middle-school-aged (9.9-18.

Associations between school difficulties and health-related problems and risky behaviours in early adolescence: A cross-sectional study in middle-school adolescents in France.

Health-related problems and risky behaviours (substance use) are frequent in adolescents, may alter their physical and mental capabilities, and may thus generate school absenteeism, low academic performance, and school dropout ideation. This study assessed their associations and the contribution of socioeconomic factors among 1559 middle-school adolescents (mean age 13.5+1.
