Personal saving is an important indicator of future economic prosperity. Despite the growth in gross domestic product per capita (GDPPC) from 2012 to 2022 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the personal savings rate remains low. Only a few studies have explored savings in KSA, but no study that used time savings deposits (TSD) to measure personal savings exists. Thus, this study aims to investigate the determinants of personal savings employing TSD. Using data from the Saudi Central Bank from 2012 to 2022, this study empirically examines the determinants of TSD. The autoregressive distributed lag cointegration technique determines the long-run relationship between the study's variables. The study finds that GDPPC, deposit interest rates (DIR), consumer loans (CLs), and real estate loans (RELs) significantly impact personal savings. Only GDPPC and RELs have a significant negative impact on personal savings. The study is among the few to examine savings in KSA but, unlike other studies, used TSD as a measure of personal savings. In conclusion, several implications and recommendations for policymakers and financial institutions were presented.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate socioeconomic inequalities in self-reported oral health among community-dwelling Brazilian older adults and evaluate the oral health factors contributing to the inequalities.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with data from the Brazilian National Health Survey conducted in 2019. The dependent variable is the self-report of oral health categorized as good or poor.
Mental health in Germany before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based on nationally representative panel data (N person-years = 40,020; N persons = 18,704; Panel Labour Market and Social Security; PASS) from 2018 to 2022, we investigate how mental health changed during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. We employ time-distributed fixed effects regressions to show that mental health (Mental Health Component Summary Score of the SF-12) decreased from the first COVID-19 wave in 2020 onward, leading to the most pronounced mental health decreases during the Delta wave, which began in August 2021. In the summer of 2022, mental health had not returned to baseline levels.

Background: Most research initiatives have emerged from high-income countries (HIC), leaving a gap in understanding the disease's genetic basis in diverse populations like those in Latin American countries (LAC). ReDLat tackles this gap, focusing on LAC's unique genetics and socioeconomic factors to identify specific Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) risk factors in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil.
Method: We employed a comprehensive genetic analysis approach, integrating Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), Exome Sequencing, and SNP arrays to understand the cohort's unique genetic architecture.
