The work constitutes a part of the larger project "Comparative analysis of some elements of health state among 40-year-old inhabitants of the City and the Province of Poznan, born 1938, 1959", backed by National Committee of Sciences, performed in the Dept. of Public Health, Chair of Social Medicine, K. Marcinkowski University of Medical Sciences, in Poznan. Altogether 1037 persons, born in 1959, were medically examined as to their social background, education, life-style, and their current health picture. Some of the key elements were compared, where possible, with a similar, though much larger group of those born in 1938. The article focuses on the 40-year-olds born in 1959, and describes the causes of their hospitalisation throughout the year preceding the examination. Place of residence, gender and education of the persons examined were taken into consideration. The results point to the prevailing causes of hospitalisation, such as cardiovascular disease, diseases of the digestive and urinary tract, and consequences of accidents and poisonings.

The Cayo Santiago rhesus macaque colony is a renowned primate population that has experienced significant natural and anthropogenic ecological variation in their 85-year history. Demographic and familial information is also tracked and collated for the majority of monkeys. Thus, the health history of rhesus macaques at Cayo Santiago should reflect the impacts of both environmental and genetic factors.

Depression has strong negative impacts on how individuals function, leading to the assumption that there is strong negative selection on this trait that should deplete genetic variation and decrease its prevalence in human populations. Yet, depressive symptoms remain common. While there has been a large body of work trying to resolve this paradox by mapping genetic variation of this complex trait, there have been few direct empirical tests of the core assumption that there is consistent negative selection on depression in human populations.

Article Synopsis
- - From 1998 to 2022, MS hospitalization rates in Spain decreased by an annual average of -2.1%, with women showing a slightly higher decline (-2.3%) than men (-1.7%).
- - Joinpoint analysis indicated non-parallel trends with three distinct periods of stabilization and decline, while age-standardized rates showed an overall drop, with rates peaking in younger age groups (25-29 for men and 30-34 for women).
- - The research highlights that the risk of MS hospitalization is influenced by age, birth cohort, and sex, showing a significant decline despite an aging population, especially among cohorts born in the early 20th century.
