Background: The effects of statins on anxiety and depression in patients with asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome (ACOS) have not been reported. This population-based study investigated these effects.
Methods: Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database between 2000 and 2010. We enrolled two ACOS cohorts, one of statin users (n = 1252) and one of nonstatin users matched by age, sex, and index date (n = 7887). The cumulative incidence of anxiety and depression was analyzed using time-dependent Cox proportional regression analysis.
Results: After adjustment for multiple confounding factors, including age, sex, comorbidities, and medications-statins, inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs), and oral steroids (OSs)-the ACOS cohort with statin use had significantly lower risks of anxiety and depression (anxiety: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 0.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.28-0.42; depression: aHR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.25-0.53). The aHRs (95% CIs) for statin use with ICSs or OSs were 0.32 (0.13-0.78) and 0.37 (0.24-0.57), respectively.
Conclusion: The ACOS cohort with statin use had lower risks of anxiety and depression, regardless of age, sex, commodities, or ICSs and OSs. The incidences of anxiety and depression were relatively low among users of statins with ICSs or OSs in the ACOS cohort.

Introduction: Kinesiophobia has a major health impact on patients with Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in their functional and physical activities, which leads to poor outcomes, loss of motivation, loss of mobility, and decreased quality of life. Despite the burden of kinesiophobia among MSDs, there is limited evidence about the burden of kinesiophobia in Ethiopia. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and its associated factors of kinesiophobia among MSD patients attending physiotherapy outpatient clinics.

China witnessed an Omicron COVID-19 outbreak at the end of 2022. During this period, medical crowding and enormous pressure on the healthcare systems occurred, which might result in the occurrence of occupational burnout among healthcare workers (HCWs). This study aims to investigate the prevalence of occupational burnout and associated mental conditions, such as depressive symptoms, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, perceived social support, resilience, and mindfulness among HCWs of the Chinese mainland during the Omicron COVID-19 outbreak, and to explore the potential risk and protective factors influencing occupational burnout of HCWs.

Background: Apart from child behavioral problems which were ameliorated by increasing parenting skills, parental well-being is one of the important components for development of parenting sense of competence (PSOC), which subsequently affects parenting style and child outcomes. This randomized controlled trial study aims to determine whether a brief asynchronous parent-focused online video intervention (POVI) that was easily accessible would be effective in increasing PSOC and parental well-being.
Methods: One hundred and twenty parents, with a poor Thai Mental Health Indicators-15 score or mild-moderate depression/anxiety, of children aged 3-10 years, were randomized into two parallel groups, intervention and control groups (1:1).

Several studies report significant changes in lifestyle habits during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet results are largely heterogeneous across populations. We examined changes in lifestyle and health behaviors during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Lebanon and assessed whether mental and physical health indicators and outbreak- and lockdown-related factors are related to these changes. Data come from a cross-sectional online survey (May-June 2020) which assessed changes in smoking, alcohol, diet, eating behavior, physical activity, sleep hours, sleep satisfaction, social media use, self-rated health, and life satisfaction ( = 494).
