This study examined the ability of the following five dynamic models for predicting pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) incidence in a prison setting: the Wells-Riley equation, two Rudnick & Milton-proposed models based on air changes per hour and liters per second per person, the Issarow et al. model, and the applied susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) tuberculosis (TB) transmission model. This 1-year prospective cohort study employed 985 cells from three Thai prisons (one prison with 652 cells as the in-sample, and two prisons with 333 cells as the out-of-sample).

Purpose: To determine the relationship between self-reported physical activity and the components of premorbid metabolic syndrome in patients treated in primary care according to sex.
Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study conducted on a sample of 2,359 patients without cardiovascular disease or diabetes, included in the cohort of the IBERICAN study. Using ANOVA models and adjusting for age, economic status, employment situation, level of education, adherence to a Mediterranean diet, tobacco use and alcohol consumption, we estimated the association of the variables blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, blood glucose and waist circumference with the self-reported level of physical activity (sedentary, moderate, high, very high).
