by David Abernethy, Jason Bennie, Toby Pavey

Background

Physical inactivity is a significant public health concern associated with numerous adverse health outcomes and substantial economic costs. This study describes the prevalence, trends and correlates for adherence to moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) guidelines among a large sample of U.S. adults.

Methods

Data from the 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys were analyzed. Читать дальше...

by Kaifang Meng, Xu Chen, Zhishang Chen, Jing Xu

Background

Life expectancy at age 70 has continued to rise globally over the past 30 years. However, a comprehensive assessment of the burden of COPD in older adults is lacking. We aimed to estimate the burden of COPD and its attributable risk factors among adults aged ≥70 years.

Methods

Data on the prevalence, incidence, deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and risk factors of COPD among adults aged ≥70 years from 1990 to 2021 across 204 countries and territories... Читать дальше...

The hidden drivers: Unraveling the impact of density, moisture, and scale on Hermetia illucens rearing

by Anjani Nayak, Patrick Klüber

The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is a saprophagous insect known for bioconverting organic waste, potentially offering environmental benefits, such as contributing to waste reduction and nutrient cycling. The performance of larvae varies significantly with factors substrate moisture, larval density, and scale of production. Three experiments were conducted using a mix of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and chicken feed (CF). In the first experiment,... Читать дальше...

Background

Globally, Chronic kidney Disease (CKD) has become a significant public health concern, with sub-Saharan Africa being among the populations experiencing the highest rates. Managing CKD poses a significant challenge due to its health complications and associated high cost of care. Hypertension is one of the leading causes of CKD, responsible for the decline in kidney function in patients. Knowledge and lifestyle modifications... Читать дальше...

SEMdag: Fast learning of Directed Acyclic Graphs via node or layer ordering

En

by Mario Grassi, Barbara Tarantino

A Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) offers an easy approach to define causal structures among gathered nodes: causal linkages are represented by arrows between the variables, leading from cause to effect. Recently, industry and academics have paid close attention to DAG structure learning from observable data, and many techniques have been put out to address the problem. We provide a two-step approach, named SEMdag(), that can be used to quickly learn high-dimensional linear SEMs. Читать дальше...

En

by Manas Ranjan Pradhan, Prasenjit De

Objective

Sexual autonomy is essential to women’s empowerment and crucial to human rights. Measurement of women’s sexual autonomy from men’s perspective is rare in India, though critical for achieving the sexual and reproductive rights of women who continue to exhibit poor sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes. The study assesses Indian men’s attitudes toward women’s sexual autonomy and associated factors using a nationally representative sample of men. Читать дальше...
