Introduction: With increased urbanization the prevalence of important public health problems like road traffic accidents (RTA) and depression are surging. This study was aimed to determine the association between RTA and depression among Indian population aged ≥45 years.
Methods: Using Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI) dataset (April 2017-December 2018), we have conducted this study among older adults (45-59 years) and elderly (≥60 years) Indians. Bivariate analysis was conducted to estimate the prevalence of RTA and depression nationally and across aspirants, achievers, and front runner states. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted between RTA and depression, adjusted with demographic and socioeconomic; health related and behavioral factors. value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: Prevalence of RTA was 1.84 (1.74-1.94)% nationally, highest among achiever states (2.04 (1.82-2.30)%). Prevalence of depression was 6.08 (5.90-6.26)% nationally, highest among aspirant states (7.02 (6.74-7.30)%). The adjusted odds of having accident was significantly 1.75 times higher among depressed (aOR 1.75, 95% CI 1.44-2.13) than non-depressed participants which was highest across front runners (aOR 1.86, 95%CI 1.26-2.72) followed by aspirant states (aOR 1.79, 95%CI 1.37-2.33).
Conclusion: This study established the association between depression and road traffic accidents among older adults and elderly. Therefore, efforts must be taken to address mental health issues specially focusing on depression in them with proper policy implication more focused on front runners followed by aspirant states.

Article Synopsis
- Concussion, affecting about 1.2% of the population annually, poses a significant public health issue, particularly among children aged 1-17, who experience this injury more frequently than others.
- The study focused on youth with concussions to evaluate adherence to Return to Activity (RTA) protocols, examining how this adherence impacts recovery time and the risk of reinjury.
- Results showed low adherence to RTA protocols using accelerometers (13%-34% across stages), but subjective self-reports indicated better compliance, with adherent youths recovering faster (13 days) than non-adherent youths (20 days), despite discrepancies between self-reported and objective measures.
Neuroanatomical dimensions in medication-free individuals with major depressive disorder and treatment response to SSRI antidepressant medications or placebo.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome with widespread subtle neuroanatomical correlates. Our objective was to identify the neuroanatomical dimensions that characterize MDD and predict treatment response to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants or placebo. In the COORDINATE-MDD consortium, raw MRI data were shared from international samples ( = 1,384) of medication-free individuals with first-episode and recurrent MDD ( = 685) in a current depressive episode of at least moderate severity, but not treatment-resistant depression, as well as healthy controls ( = 699).

Objective/background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and their comorbid association called Overlap Syndrome (OS) are frequent chronic diseases with high individual and societal burdens. Precise descriptions of the respective symptoms, comorbidities, and medications associated with these three conditions are lacking. We used a multidimensional phenotyping approach to identify relevant phenotypes characterizing these 3 disorders.
