Included studies consistently reported an increased risk associated with greater numbers of intraindividual risk factors or unhealthy behaviours and the opposite for healthy or protective behaviours. A meta-analysis of studies with dementia outcomes resulted in a pooled relative risk for dementia of 1.20 (95% CI 1.04 to 1.39) for one risk factor, 1.65 (95% CI 1.40 to 1.94) for two and 2.21 (95% CI 1.78 to 2.73) for three or more, relative to no risk factors. Limitations include dependence on published results and variations in study outcome, cognitive assessment, length of follow-up and definition of risk factor exposure. Conclusions The strength of the reported associations, the consistency across studies and the suggestion of a dose response supports a need to keep modifiable risk factor exposure to a minimum and to avoid exposure to additional modifiable risks. Further research is needed to establish whether particular combinations of risk factors confer greater risk than others.]]> Wed 14 Sep 2022 08:23:22 AEST ]]> Depression and chronic diseases: Co-occurrence and communality of risk factors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43158 Wed 14 Jun 2023 09:50:31 AEST ]]> The future burden of lung cancer attributable to current modifiable behaviours: a pooled study of seven Australian cohorts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41663 Wed 13 Mar 2024 18:26:17 AEDT ]]> Studies of respiratory chlamydia infections in mouse models of chlamydia infection and alzheimer’s disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52595 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:13:14 AEDT ]]> Fatal river drowning: the identification of research gaps through a systematic literature review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29142 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:53:03 AEST ]]> Risk factors for current and future unmet supportive care needs of people with pancreatic cancer. A longitudinal study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29841 n = 116) then follow-up surveys 2 (n = 82) and 4 months (n = 50) later. The validated survey measured 34 needs across five domains. Weighted generalised estimating equations were used to identify factors associated with having ≥1 current or future moderate-to-high unmet need. Results: The overall proportion of patients reporting ≥1 moderate-or-high-level need did not significantly change over time (baseline = 70 % to 4 months = 75 %), although there was a non-significant reduction in needs for patients who had a complete resection (71 to 63 %) and an increase in patients with locally advanced (73 to 85 %) or metastatic (66 to 88 %) disease. Higher levels of pain (OR 6.1, CI 2.4–15.3), anxiety (OR 3.3, CI 1.5–7.3) and depression (OR 3.2, CI 1.7–6.0) were significantly associated with current needs. People with pain (OR 4.9, CI 1.5–15.4), metastatic disease (OR 2.7, CI 0.7–10.0) or anxiety (OR 2.5, CI 0.7–8.6) had substantially higher odds of reporting needs at their next survey. The prevalence of needs was highest in the physical/daily living and psychological domains (both 53 % at baseline). Pain and anxiety had respectively the strongest associations with these domains. Conclusions: Careful and continued attention to pain control and psychological morbidity is paramount in addressing significant unmet needs, particularly for people with metastatic disease.

A predictive scoring system (total score/7) identified an optimal threshold of ≥ 3 points, with a sensitivity of 87% and specificity of 79%. Conclusions: The study identified a diagnostic support tool with four variables to predict increased risk of CAD. Validation in a clinical sample is needed to confirm variables and refine descriptors to enable clinicians to efficiently apply the tool.Optimum cutoff scores of ≥ 3/7 points will help identify those in whom CAD should be considered and further investigation instigated. The potential impact of the tool is to improve early recognition of CAD in those with acute headache or neck pain, thereby facilitating more timely medical intervention, preventing inappropriate treatment, and improving patient outcomes.]]> Wed 03 Apr 2024 15:48:28 AEDT ]]> Universal Risk Factors for Mortality in Bloodstream Infections (UNIFORM): a systematic review and Delphi survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55014 500 participants. Exposures: Independently significant risk factors for all-cause, preferably 30-day, mortality. Data sources: PubMed was used to identify eligible studies published between 2000 and 2020. A Delphi survey among experts was used to evaluate and prioritize the factors identified by the systematic review. Risk of bias: SIGN checklist complemented by risk of bias assessment of the adjusted analysis. Data synthesis: Definite universal risk factors were defined as those assessed in >50% of all included studies and significant in >50% of those. Potential universal risk factors were defined as those significant in >50% of studies evaluating the factor and a subgroup analysis was performed for studies of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia. Results: We included in the systematic review 62 studies, comprising more than 300,000 patients, from which a list of 17 risk factors was derived, whose association with all-cause mortality was statistically significant in most studies. The factors address baseline patient variables, the setting of infection acquisition, factors associated with the specific infection, the inflammatory response at onset of sepsis and management parameters where relevant. There were 14 risk factors for S. aureus bacteraemia. Conclusion: We identified a minimum set of universal factors to be collected, reported, and assessed, in all future studies evaluating factors associated with mortality in bacteraemia to improve study quality and harmonization.]]> Wed 03 Apr 2024 11:15:36 AEDT ]]> Restriction in lateral bending range of motion, lumbar lordosis, and hamstring flexibility predicts the development of low back pain: a systematic review of prospective cohort studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30821 Wed 02 Mar 2022 14:27:00 AEDT ]]> A Critical Analysis of Risk Factors and Strategies to Improve Mental Health Issues of Construction Workers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50686 Wed 01 May 2024 15:47:30 AEST ]]> Epigenetic age acceleration in adolescence associates with BMI, inflammation and risk score for middle age cardiovascular disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47832 Wed 01 Feb 2023 13:35:54 AEDT ]]> Whole blood viscosity is associated with baseline cerebral perfusion in acute ischemic stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47058 Tue 30 Apr 2024 09:50:06 AEST ]]> Assessment of potential risk factors and skin ultrasound presentation associated with breast cancer-related lymphedema in long-term breast cancer survivors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43522 10) (OR = 2.83, 95% CI: 0.94–8.11, p = 0.047), being overweight (≥25 kg/m2) (OR = 2.57, 95% CI: 1.04 – 6.38, p = 0.036), received fewer post-surgery rehabilitation treatment (OR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.05–5.39, p = 0.036) and hypertension (OR = 2.38, 95% CI: 1.01–5.62, p = 0.043 ) were associated with an increased risk of BCRL. Meanwhile, multivariate analysis showed that multiple surgeries remained significant and elevated the likelihood of BCRL (OR = 5.83, 95% CI: 1.14–29.78, p = 0.034). Arm swelling was more prominent in the forearm area demonstrated by the highest difference of arm circumference measurement when compared to the upper arm ( 2.07 ± 2.48 vs. 1.34 ± 1.91 cm, p < 0.001). The total of skinfold thickness of the affected forearm was also significantly higher than the unaffected arms (p < 0.05) as evidenced by the ultrasound examination.

We estimated exposure prevalence from representative health surveys. We combined these estimates to calculate Population Attributable Fractions (PAFs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and compared PAFs for population subgroups. During the first 10 years follow‐up, there were 640 incident breast cancers for premenopausal women, 2,632 for postmenopausal women, and 8,761 deaths from any cause. Of future breast cancers for premenopausal women, any regular alcohol consumption explains 12.6% (CI = 4.3–20.2%), current use of oral contraceptives for ≥5 years 7.1% (CI = 0.3–13.5%), and these factors combined 18.8% (CI = 9.1–27.4%). Of future breast cancers for postmenopausal women, overweight or obesity (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) explains 12.8% (CI = 7.8–17.5%), current use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) 6.9% (CI = 4.8–8.9%), any regular alcohol consumption 6.6% (CI = 1.5–11.4%), and these factors combined 24.2% (CI = 17.6–30.3%). The MHT‐related postmenopausal breast cancer burden varied by body fatness, alcohol consumption and socio‐economic status, the body fatness‐related postmenopausal breast cancer burden by alcohol consumption and educational attainment, and the alcohol‐related postmenopausal breast cancer burden by breast feeding history. Our results provide evidence to support targeted and population‐level cancer control activities.]]> Tue 25 Oct 2022 09:19:19 AEDT ]]> Risk factors for eating disorders: findings from a rapid review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52730 Tue 24 Oct 2023 10:39:46 AEDT ]]> The burden of pancreatic cancer in Australia attributable to smoking https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47647 P = 0.007) and for those under 65 (19.0%; 95% CI, 8.1–28.6%) than for older people (6.6%; 95% CI, 1.9–11.1%; P = 0.030).

Pre-season musculoskeletal screening (incorporating mobility, stability and neural tests) and seasonal injury data were analysed for predictive relationships, and associations between potential predictor variables and injury status. Results: Injuries requiring medical attention occurred at a rate of 3.6 injuries/athlete, while injuries resulting in disability occurred at a rate of 0.6 injuries/athlete, with the lumbar spine the main site of injury (23% and 33%, respectively). Wrist and hand injury resulted in the highest number of days of disability (110 days), followed by injury to the lumbar spine (87 days). Across the season 75% of injuries to the lumbar spine occurred in the latter half of the season. The only screening measure predictive of injured/uninjured status was better left-sided single-leg decline-squat performance (OR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.09-0.88; p = 0.03), while increasing age was significantly (p = 0.03) associated with thoracic (OR = 1.48; 95% CI = 1.03-2.12) and lumbar spine (OR = 1.46; 95% CI = 1.04-2.04) injury. Conclusions: Though clinically useful, current screening protocols do not adequately assess the risk of seasonal injury in elite Olympic class sailors, and should be revised. Due to the increased risk of spinal injury and potential lost/modified participation in older Olympic class sailors, injury prevention activities should be individualised and age appropriate.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:54 AEDT ]]> Predictors of low diabetes risk perception in a multi-ethnic cohort of women with gestational diabetes mellitus https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29378 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:20 AEDT ]]> Risk factors associated with incident sexually transmitted infections in HIV-positive patients in the Australian HIV Observational Database: a prospective cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30295 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:34 AEDT ]]> Cervical arterial dissection: an overview and implications for manipulative therapy practice https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24030 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:43 AEDT ]]> Parents who supply sips of alcohol in early adolescence: a prospective study of risk factors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24608 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:55 AEDT ]]> High polygenic risk score for exceptional longevity is associated with a healthy metabolic profile https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50640 Mon 31 Jul 2023 16:34:24 AEST ]]> A narrative review of stroke incidence, risk factors and treatment in Indigenous Peoples of the world https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38784 Mon 31 Jan 2022 14:00:24 AEDT ]]> Understanding women who self-harm: predictors and long-term outcomes in a longitudinal community sample https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32613 Mon 25 Jun 2018 14:21:11 AEST ]]> Effects of maltreatment and parental schizophrenia spectrum disorders on early childhood social-emotional functioning: a population record linkage study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32251 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:05:07 AEST ]]> First documented gymnasium cluster of COVID-19 with whole genome sequencing in Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53941 Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:56:42 AEDT ]]> Age-varying associations between lifestyle risk factors and major depressive disorder: A nationally representative cross-sectional study of adolescents https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46397 n = 2967) and time-varying effect models were used to investigate the associations between lifestyle risk factors and the prevalence of MDD by sex. Results: The estimated prevalence of MDD significantly increased among adolescents from 4% (95% CI 3–6%) at 13 years of age to 19% (95% CI 15–24%) at 16 years of age. From the age of 13, males were significantly less likely to have a diagnosis of MDD than females with the maximum sex difference occurring at the age of 15 (OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.13–0.47). All lifestyle risk factors were at some point significantly associated with MDD, but these associations did not differ by sex, except for body mass index. Discussion: These findings suggest that interventions designed to prevent the development of depression should be implemented in early adolescence, ideally before or at the age of 13 and particularly among young females given that the prevalence of MDD begins to rise and diverge from young males. Interventions should also simultaneously address lifestyle risk factors and symptoms of major depression.]]> Mon 21 Nov 2022 14:57:46 AEDT ]]> Implementing health policies in Australian junior sports clubs: an RCT https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35498 Mon 19 Aug 2019 12:04:34 AEST ]]> Long-term trajectories of employment status, workhours and disability support pension status, after a first episode of CNS demyelination https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51774 Mon 18 Sep 2023 14:29:20 AEST ]]> Baseline cardiovascular risk assessment in cancer patients scheduled to receive cardiotoxic cancer therapies: a position statement and new risk assessment tools from the Cardio-Oncology Study Group of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology in collaboration with the International Cardio-Oncology Society https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44599 Mon 17 Oct 2022 16:08:38 AEDT ]]> A review of maternal overweight and obesity and its impact on cardiometabolic outcomes during pregnancy and postpartum. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46290 Mon 14 Nov 2022 16:30:51 AEDT ]]> Perceptions of causal attribution and attitudes to genetic testing among people with schizophrenia and their first-degree relatives https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50953 Mon 14 Aug 2023 14:36:26 AEST ]]> Do modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease post-pregnancy influence the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and cardiovascular health outcomes?

Most students (mean age = 17) did not know that early sexual debut (before 18 years) is a risk factor for cervical cancer (72%) and that a blood test cannot detect cervical cancer (71%). Students in later stages of senior high school education and those who received sexual health education from teachers and parents had significantly greater cervical cancer knowledge scores than their counterparts. Interactive effects showed that school-based sexual health education was associated with higher knowledge scores than home-based education among students. Conclusions: Most female senior high school students had gaps in knowledge about cervical cancer prevention. Finding new ways to strengthen the capacity of schools and parents to deliver accurate cervical cancer prevention information is warranted.]]> Mon 08 Apr 2024 12:39:07 AEST ]]> Success criteria-based impacts of risk factors on education building projects in southwestern Nigeria https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45789 Mon 07 Nov 2022 08:47:56 AEDT ]]> Going their own way-male recreational runners and running-related injuries: A qualitative thematic analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52793 Fri 27 Oct 2023 14:08:39 AEDT ]]> The preventable burden of endometrial and ovarian cancers in Australia: a pooled cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35870 Fri 21 Oct 2022 11:25:56 AEDT ]]> Investigating the association between infertility and psychological distress using Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52660 Fri 20 Oct 2023 09:10:20 AEDT ]]> Quantifying risks and interventions that have affected the burden of diarrhoea among children younger than 5 years: an analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42271 Fri 19 Aug 2022 14:44:24 AEST ]]> The effect of a game-based mobile app 'MyHeartMate' to promote lifestyle change in coronary disease patients: a randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53068 Fri 17 Nov 2023 12:08:30 AEDT ]]> Factors Associated with Asthma Exacerbations During Pregnancy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39682 Fri 17 Jun 2022 15:46:08 AEST ]]> Methotrexate-related central neurotoxicity: clinical characteristics, risk factors and genome-wide association study in children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44512 Fri 14 Oct 2022 09:11:36 AEDT ]]> Helicobacter pylori and other factors in recurrent aphthous stomatitis: A cross-sectional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44503 Fri 14 Oct 2022 09:04:33 AEDT ]]> Intimate Partner Violence and Risk for Mortality and Incident Dementia in Older Women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44466 Fri 14 Oct 2022 08:43:35 AEDT ]]> Predictive Models for the Functional Recovery of Transplanted Kidney https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48917 Fri 14 Apr 2023 15:45:38 AEST ]]> The Impact of Smoking and Obesity on Disability-Free Life Expectancy in Older Australians https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47281 Fri 13 Jan 2023 10:24:38 AEDT ]]> Serum cholesterol, body mass index and smoking status do not predict long-term cognitive impairment in elderly stroke patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46137 n = 149). Assessments occurred at 20 months post-stroke, using the Mini Mental State Examination and serum blood levels of cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein and serum triglycerides. Results: Hierarchical linear regression showed that only acute functional impairment significantly contributed to long-term cognitive impairment in stroke survivors. Only 12% of the sample showed healthy cholesterol levels while the remaining patients showed borderline or high cholesterol levels. In terms of BMI, only 2% of the sample were underweight, 38% were within healthy range and 26% were overweight/obese. Only eight women and four men were smokers, therefore our sample of smokers was likely too small to detect any differences between smokers and non-smokers in regard to cognitive outcomes. Conclusion: Serum cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, serum triglycerides, BMI or smoking status did not influence cognitive outcomes in older stroke surviving individuals. These findings suggest that modification of these factors may not influence cognitive outcomes in stroke-surviving individuals however should be interpreted as preliminary given limitations in the current study.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 16:31:53 AEDT ]]> Postoperative Delirium is Associated With Prolonged head and neck resection and reconstruction surgery: an institutional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46110 Fri 11 Nov 2022 15:37:30 AEDT ]]> Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks, 1990–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28315 Fri 06 Oct 2023 16:24:33 AEDT ]]> Are the public tertiary education building projects devoid of risks in the Nigerian construction context? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49166 Fri 05 May 2023 15:30:29 AEST ]]> Thyroid cancers potentially preventable by reducing overweight and obesity in Australia: A pooled cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45747 Fri 04 Nov 2022 10:26:56 AEDT ]]> Prevalence and correlates of modifiable risk factors for cervical cancer and HPV infection among senior high school students in Ghana: a latent class analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51363 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:43:43 AEST ]]>
