Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how the educational attainment of adult children affects the mental health of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on socio-economic disparities.
- - Analyzing data from over 15,500 older adults, the research finds that those with higher-educated adult children reported less nervousness, depression, and trouble sleeping compared to those with lower-educated children.
- - The findings suggest that improving adult child educational levels could help mitigate mental health issues among older adults, especially in countries hit hard by the pandemic.
Objectives: to investigate studies that adopted the multilevel analysis model to identify behavioral and structural risk factors associated with HIV infection.
Methods: an integrative review of the literature with studies available in full, obtained from EMBASE, CINAHL, Pubmed, and Scopus, whose selected descriptors were the indexed terms: "HIV", "multilevel analysis" and "behavior".
Results: the search resulted in 236 studies.
The purpose of this study was to compare vascular calcification (VC), serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels, and other biochemical markers to determine their value as available predictors of all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). A total of 197 patients were recruited from seven dialysis centers in Mexico City. VC was assessed with multi-slice computed tomography, measured using the calcification score (CaSc).

However, a link between them has not yet been established. The aim of this study was to analyze DD as a surrogate marker of fibrosis and its association with TH in incident patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD).
