AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the link between child maltreatment (CM) and lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) in midlife women over nine years.
- Findings showed that women experiencing two or more types of CM scored significantly lower on mental and physical health measurements and reported fewer healthy days annually compared to those without CM.
- The research identified low optimism, sleep problems, and low social support as key mediating factors, suggesting that interventions targeting these areas could help improve the negative effects of CM on health outcomes in women.
Article Abstract
Purpose: We examined (1) if child maltreatment (CM) is associated with lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and fewer quality-adjusted life years (QALY) over a 9-year follow-up of midlife women and (2) if adulthood psychosocial mediators could explain these associations.
Methods: Women (n = 342) completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Longitudinal HRQoL and QALY outcomes measured at five study visits include 36-item Short-Form Health Survey mental component score and physical component score and the Short Form-6 Dimension health index. Aims 1 and 2 were investigated by generalized estimating equations and sequential structural nested mean models, respectively.
Results: Twenty percent reported 2+ CM types. Compared with women without CM, women who experienced 2+ CM types reported 5- and 4-points lower scores in mental component score and physical component score, respectively, and 28 fewer healthy days per year in QALY. Low optimism, sleep problems, and low social support each explained greater than 10% of the relationship between 2+ CM and HRQoL and QALY over time.
Conclusions: CM is a life-course social determinant of HRQoL and QALY throughout midlife, particularly in women who experienced 2+ CM types. Several mediators are modifiable and could be targets of interventions to mitigate the negative impact of CM on midlife HRQoL and QALY in women.

Objective: In Japan, the current coverage rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is only 30%, and the rate of biennial cervical screening is 40%. The Japanese Government has attempted to increase the coverage of HPV vaccination and cervical screening. We analyzed the cost-effectiveness of the 9-valent HPV vaccine and cervical screening in Japan.

Background: High red meat consumption is a main modifiable risk factor for colorectal cancer mortality (CRC), but its attributable disease burden remains unclear in China. We aimed to analyze the temporal trends in CRC deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to high red meat consumption in China from 1990 to 2021 and to predict the disease burden in the next 15 years.
Methods: Data was obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.

Unlabelled: A cost-effectiveness analysis of FRAX® intervention thresholds (ITs) in Indian women over 50 years indicated that generic alendronate was cost-effective for age-dependent major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) ITs and hip fracture (HF) ITs starting at ages 60 and 65 years for full and real-world adherence, respectively. Alendronate was cost-effective at fixed MOF IT of 14% and HF IT of 3.5%, regardless of age.

Few studies have examined the association between air pollution and the trajectory of global health status measures related to the functional impacts of chronic disease. To address this gap, we examined the trajectory of the Health Utilities Index (HUI) over 17 years of follow-up among Canadian National Population Health Survey (NPHS) participants. Annual average nitrogen dioxide (NO) exposures from a national land use regression surface were mapped to 15,631 NPHS participants at their place of residence provided at each follow-up.
