Background: To explore the associations between coronavirus infection incidence and weight status and social participation restrictions among community-dwelling adults in the United States.
Methods: We analyzed data from the 2021 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), which included a representative sample of 29,394 individuals (Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): 3,205) and a weighted total of 252,461,316 individuals (COVID-19: 31,697,404), considering the complex sampling design used in the survey.
Results: Age, race/ethnicity, education level, family income index, body mass index (BMI), and smoking status were significantly associated with COVID-19 infection. Weight status was significantly correlated with social participation restrictions and strongly associated with COVID-19 infection, particularly among individuals who were overweight or obese.
Conclusion: Weight status was shown to be associated not only with social participation restrictions but also with COVID-19 infection among U.S. adults. Understanding the complex interplay between weight status, social participation, and COVID-19 is crucial for developing effective preventive measures and promoting overall well-being in the community population.

Machine Learning to Predict Mortality in Older Patients With Cancer: Development and External Validation of the Geriatric Cancer Scoring System Using Two Large French Cohorts.
J Clin Oncol
January 2025
INSERM, IMRBU955, Univ Paris Est Créteil, Créteil, France.
Purpose: Establishing an accurate prognosis remains challenging in older patients with cancer because of the population's heterogeneity and the current predictive models' reduced ability to capture the complex interactions between oncologic and geriatric predictors. We aim to develop and externally validate a new predictive score (the Geriatric Cancer Scoring System [GCSS]) to refine individualized prognosis for older patients with cancer during the first year after a geriatric assessment (GA).
Materials And Methods: Data were collected from two French prospective multicenter cohorts of patients with cancer 70 years and older, referred for GA: ELCAPA (training set January 2007-March 2016) and ONCODAGE (validation set August 2008-March 2010).
Prediction of stunting and its socioeconomic determinants among adolescent girls in Ethiopia using machine learning algorithms.

Background: Stunting is a vital indicator of chronic undernutrition that reveals a failure to reach linear growth. Investigating growth and nutrition status during adolescence, in addition to infancy and childhood is very crucial. However, the available studies in Ethiopia have been usually focused in early childhood and they used the traditional stastical methods.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific disorder characterized by an unclearly understood pathogenesis and poses a great threat to maternal and fetal safety. Cuproptosis, a novel form of cellular death, has been implicated in the advancement of various diseases. However, the role of cuproptosis and immune-related genes in PE is unclear.

In mainland China, cancer registration relies on household-registered populations, overlooking migrant populations. Estimating cervical cancer incidence among permanent residents, including migrants, offers a more accurate representation of the true burden. The data from 487 cancer registries across China in 2016 were analyzed using a Bayesian spatial regression model with the integrated nested Laplace approximation-stochastic partial differential equation method.

Gastrointestinal immunity and antioxidant defenses may be bolstered in young animals through prenatal immune system stimulation (PIS), but this is largely uninvestigated in swine. This study tested the hypothesis that PIS could regulate offspring's gastrointestinal immune response and oxidative stress profile. To this end, a PIS model was utilized in sows, delivering low-dose LPS during the final third of gestation to target the developing immune system.
