AI Article Synopsis
- Healthy lifestyles significantly improve the physical condition and quality of life for cancer survivors, as supported by scientific research and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines for Survivorship.
- Many rural areas lack specialized resources for cancer patients, indicating a strong need for initiatives to promote healthy living among this population.
- The development of a multi-media patient information system based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) aims to enhance health literacy and facilitate informed choices for better aftercare, with further studies suggested to evaluate its effectiveness and impact on behavior change.
Article Abstract
The positive effects of a healthy lifestyle on the holistic physical condition and quality of life of cancer survivors is scientifically proven. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines for Survivorship specifically highlight the need for support in these areas. The lack of specialised offers for cancer patients in predominantly rural areas, however, represents a high level of assistance needed in terms of the development and implementation of a healthy lifestyle. Following a needs assessment, our aim was to conceptualise and design an easily accessible multi-media patient information system on the basis of a social-cognitive process model on health behaviour (Health Action Process Approach - HAPA). A higher level of health literacy represents, inter alia, the basis for informed choice and, as such, forms an important resource for the aftercare of cancer patients. Further studies are recommended on the acceptance, use and effects of patient information with regard to intended longer-term changes of health behaviour.

Associations of healthy lifestyle and family income to poverty ratio with all-cause mortality among people with prediabetes and diabetes: a prospective cohort study.
BMC Public Health
January 2025
School of Basic Medical Sciences, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, No. 548 Binwen Road, Binjiang District, Hangzhou, 310053, China.
Background: Family income to poverty ratio (PIR) may have independent effects on diet and lifestyle factors and the development of prediabetes and diabetes, as well as on mortality. It is unclear how the protective effect of a healthy lifestyle against death differs between individuals with different glucose metabolic profiles and whether PIR mediates this effect. This study aimed to explore whether healthy lifestyle and family PIR reduced the risk of all-cause mortality in participants with different metabolic status and the mediating role of PIR.

For consideration of uncertainties of a medicine dataset, a new conceptual architecture fuzzy three-valued logic is introduced in this research work. The proposed concept is applied to the heart disease dataset for the assessment of heart disease risk in individuals. By comparison of three binary (0,1) input variables, the variables' uncertainties and their collective impact can be analyzed that provide complete information leading to better outcome prediction.

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Nottingham, United Kingdom.
Background: Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD) is thought to result from a combination of environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors. Herpesvirus infections may contribute to the development of EOAD and the objective of our study is to identify potential associations between herpes virus infections and the risk of developing EOAD.
Method: Amyloid-status Alzheimer's disease was diagnosed based on clinical history and ATN criteria, determined by the measuring the Amyloidß42:40 ratio, tau, and 181-Phospho-tau in the cerebrospinal fluid.
