This study assessed the relationship between community characteristics and alcohol use among 6,636 youth, aged from 14 to 20, in 2004. After adjusting for individual-level characteristics, youth from communities with a greater proportion of grandparents as caregivers, larger numbers of married couple families, and higher employment rates were significantly less likely to report past 30-day alcohol use. Youth from communities with higher median household income were significantly more likely to report past 30-day alcohol use. Adolescents in communities with a greater percentage of whites were significantly more likely to report binge drinking. The results indicate that the community context is an important predictor of alcohol use.

Triglyceride-glucose index as a biomarker to differentiate stroke etiologic subtypes: a hospital-based cross-sectional study.

Neurology Department, University Hospital Fattouma Bourguiba, Monastir, Tunisia.
Background: Accurate distinction between stroke etiologic subtypes is critical for physicians to provide tailored treatment. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance, has been associated with stroke risk but its role in distinguishing stroke etiologic subtypes remains unclear. We aimed to assess the TyG index's ability to differentiate cardioembolic (CE) from non-cardioembolic (NCE) strokes.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) refers to varying degrees of abnormal glucose metabolism that occur during pregnancy and excludes patients previously diagnosed with diabetes. GDM is a unique among the four subtypes of diabetes classified by the international World Health Organization standards. Although GDM patients constitute a small proportion of the total number of diabetes cases, the incidence of GDM has risen significantly over the past decade, posing substantial risk to pregnant women and infants.

Background: Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) has been an issue in healthcare since the 1960s. It was initially found only in healthcare facilities, but in the late 1990s it began to be seen with no healthcare connexion. The mechanisms of intercontinental and national spread are not fully understood, as sometimes novel outbreaks occur without any identifiable source or connexion to locally dominant clonal clusters.

Background: Previous studies suggest that frailty increases the risk of mortality, but the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in Chinese community-dwelling older adults remains understudied. Our aim was to explore the effect of frailty on cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in older adults based on a large-scale prospective survey of community-dwelling older adults in China.
Methods: We utilized the 2014-2018 cohort of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey and constructed a frailty index (FI) to assess frailty status.
