Article Abstract
Our descriptive study examined current associations (2022-2024) between US state-level health outcomes and 4 US state-level political metrics: 2 rarely used in public health research (political ideology of elected representatives based on voting records; trifectas, where 1 party controls the executive and legislative branches) and 2 more commonly used (state policies enacted; voter political lean). The 8 health outcomes spanned the life course: infant mortality, premature mortality (death at age <65), health insurance (adults aged 35-64), vaccination for children and persons aged ≥65 (flu; COVID-19 booster), maternity care deserts, and food insecurity. For the first 3 outcomes, we also examined trends in associations (2012-2024). For all political metrics, higher state-level political conservatism was associated with worse health outcomes, especially for the metrics for political ideology and state trifectas. For example, in 2016, the premature mortality rate in states with Republican vs Democratic trifectas was higher by 55.4 deaths per 100 000 person-years (95% CI: 7.7, 103.1), and the slope of the rate of increase to 2021 was also higher, by 27.0 deaths per 100 000 person-years (95% CI: 24.4, 29.7). These results suggest elections, political ideology, and concentrations of political power matter for population health.

Rheumatology (Oxford)
December 2024
Department of Rheumatology, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Objectives: To evaluate the short and long term effects of an online, interactive, multifactorial lifestyle intervention program (Leef! Met Reuma) on health risk and all ICHOM-recommended patient reported outcome measures(PROMs) in patients with an Inflammatory Arthritis(IA), OsteoArthritis(OA) or FibroMyalgia(FM).
Methods: Patients with an IA, OA or FM, could register for the lifestyle intervention program. The program consists of a 3-month intensive part followed by a 21-month aftercare period and focuses on 4 pillars, namely nutrition, exercise, relaxation and sleep.

Current literature regarding cancer risk in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) is particularly poor and controversial, even though the incidence of malignancy in some patients with RMDs is considered to be increased compared with the general population. Malignancy may be a major comorbidity in subjects with spondyloarthritis (SpA) as the result of multifactorial mechanisms, from disease pathogenesis to the iatrogenic effect of immunomodulating drugs. Several recommendations for screening and management of cancer risk have been developed in recent years with the aim of improving the different outcomes in these patients.

School of International Pharmaceutical Business, China Pharmaceutical University, No. 639 Longmian Road, Jiangning District, Nanjing, 211198, Jiangsu, China.
Background: Temporal discounting, the preference for immediate over delayed rewards, affects decision-making in domains like health and finance. Understanding the differences in how people discount health outcomes compared to monetary rewards is crucial to shaping health policy and technology assessments.
Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare temporal discounting parameters between health outcomes and monetary rewards and evaluate their overall relationship.
