Although chronic life strain is often found to be associated with adverse health outcomes, empirical research is lacking on the health implications of persistent role overload that many women around the world are subject to, the so-called double burden of work and family responsibilities. Using data from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (1994-2012), we examined the linkage between time-use profiles and body mass index (BMI) trajectories for Filipino women over an 18-year span. Out of the four classes of women with differential levels of a combination of work and family duties, the group with the heaviest double burden has the highest average BMI. In addition, those who have remained in this class for three or more waves of data not only have higher BMI on average but also have experienced the steepest rate of increase in BMI upon transition from midlife to old age.

Among them, the one that has focused particularly on some groups (men who have sex with men, university students) while ignoring others, stands out. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the characteristics of dating app usage in middle-aged heterosexual people, paying special attention to the differences between men and women.

Real-world outcomes and drug survival of brodalumab: results from the German Psoriasis Registry PsoBest.
J Dermatolog Treat

Brodalumab, a human monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17RA), is approved in the US and EU for treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Although brodalumab has demonstrated efficacy and safety vs placebo in clinical trials of patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), real-world evidence is needed to evaluate long-term effectiveness and safety of brodalumab in routine care. This interim analysis of the German Psoriasis Registry PsoBest examined patient profiles, treatment outcomes, and drug survival of first-time use of brodalumab for 12 months in adult patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis (with and without PsA) (data cutoff: June 30, 2021).
