AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to determine if an 8-year diabetes risk could be lowered within 2 years through a digital Diabetes Prevention Program (dDPP) in a workforce setting.
  • Participants with prediabetes and a BMI of 25 or more were evaluated for diabetes risk before and after the program using the Framingham diabetes risk score.
  • Results showed a significant 5.3% decrease in diabetes risk after the first year of dDPP, following a slight increase the year prior, with the reduced risk maintained into the second year.

Article Abstract

Objective: We asked whether the estimated 8-year risk of diabetes could be reduced within the first 2 years of a digital Diabetes Prevention Program (dDPP) in a workforce population.

Methods: Employees and spouses were eligible if they had prediabetes-range fasting glucose or hemoglobin A 1c and body mass index ≥25 kg/m 2 . Diabetes risk was assessed using the Framingham diabetes risk score in the year before and the 2 years after dDPP initiation.

Results: Among participants completing at least nine dDPP lessons ( n = 286), diabetes risk decreased 5.3% the year after dDPP initiation, after a 5.4% increase the year before initiation (difference in differences, -10.6%; 95% confidence interval, -13.4% to -7.9%; P < 0.001), with risk maintained at reduced levels after the second year of the program.

Conclusion: This dDPP reduced the estimated 8-year risk of diabetes over the first 2 years of the program.

Traditional obesity-related public health messaging often includes physical activity (PA) recommendations. However, at the population level, the data are conflicting, especially when comparing different self-reported vs measured techniques across different settings and populations. We measured the association between moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) and prospective weight change across five African-origin populations and the extent to which MVPA attenuated weight change over time.

Seasonality in mortality and its impact on life expectancy levels and trends across Europe.

Background: Seasonal fluctuations in mortality affect annual life expectancy at birth (e). Nevertheless, evidence on the impact of seasonal mortality on longevity is very limited and mainly restricted to assessing season-specific mortality levels due to shocks (e.g.

  • This study investigates the cost-effectiveness of using mechanical thrombectomy (MT) alongside standard medical care (SMC) for patients aged 90 and older suffering from acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
  • A simulation model estimated that MT with SMC provided 1.463 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) at a cost of 14,553,772 Yen, compared to 1.054 QALYs for SMC alone, which cost 13,732,646 Yen.
  • The findings suggest that the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of MT with SMC is 2,009,744 Yen per QALY, indicating a 66% chance that this approach

The "all-on-four" treatment modality is a treatment in which four implants are surgically placed in the completely edentulous jaw in order to restore immediately loaded implant supported fixed restoration. The aim of the present study was to compare clinical, radiological and prosthetic outcomes of immediately loaded maxillary and mandibular four implant supported cross-arch fixed denture prosthesis. A total of 112 edentulous patients who were rehabilitated for their complete maxillary and mandibular edentulism using All-on-four concept between January 2010 to August 2012 in four private dental clinics were included in this study for retrieve their data for marginal bone loss, implant survival rate, and prosthetic complication for a period of 8 years of follow-up.

Multimorbidity data is typically analysed by tallying disease counts, which overlooks nuanced relationships among conditions. We identified clusters of multimorbidity and subpopulations with varying risks and examined their association with all-cause mortality using a data-driven approach. We analysed 8-year follow-up data of people ≥35 years who were part of the CRONICAS Cohort Study, a multisite cohort from Peru.
