Losing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits is common and can be stressful. We evaluated cumulative SNAP participation in relation to subsequent memory aging among older adults.

To determine if nutritional information on an alcohol container influenced consumer perceptions of product healthiness, and whether the effect of information differed by display format.

The kindergarten outdoor environment is considered a key factor influencing children's moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). However, existing findings remain inconsistent, with varying criteria and no synthesis.

This study investigated the association between weekend catch-up sleep (WCS) and systemic inflammation, as indicated by serum white blood cell (WBC) counts.

Little research has investigated whether people's experiences with weight-related discrimination serve as a barrier to cancer screening. This study examined the association between weight discrimination and receipt of up to date (UTD) cervical and breast cancer screening in a demographically diverse sample of US women with representation across the body mass index (BMI) spectrum.

Little is known about whether issuing particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM) alerts influences emergency department presentations for mental health or mortality. We evaluated the impact of PM alerts on mental disorder-related emergency visit and mortality.

Adolescent leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) is associated with favourable cardiometabolic health, yet the influence of specific LTPA types and longer-term outcomes remains unclear. This study investigated whether adolescent participation in specific LTPA types is associated with cardiometabolic health in mid-adulthood.

To investigate the independent and combined associations of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and APOE genotype on dementia risk.

To identify sociodemographic and health-related correlates of antibiotic use in U.S. adults and determine whether racial/ethnic and regional disparities persisted throughout and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Concerns have been raised that human papillomavirus (HPV)-vaccination programs may alter risk perceptions and increase risk-taking sexual behavior among adolescents. This study aimed to assess induced abortion rates (as a potential indicator of such behavior) between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

Tobacco use negatively impacts oral and general health and influences dental treatment outcomes. To advance prevention, we surveyed dental patients at an academic institution to characterize their history of tobacco use and eligibility for lung cancer screening (LCS).

We describe the development of the Whole School Food Approach framework and its implementation in 12 European countries participating in the European-funded project, SchoolFood4Change.

This study primarily aims to analyze changes in physical activity after the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and their association with post-COVID symptoms. We also examined associations between sociodemographic variables (sex, region, wealth quintile, education, age, and race/ethnicity) and physical activity.

Using South Korea's National Health Insurance Service data (2010-2022), this cohort study compared the risk of depression and anxiety in adolescents with visual disabilities to matched controls, examining the effects of disability severity and duration.

Cancer screening is a crucial strategy for reducing cancer morbidity and mortality. Refugees encounter disproportionate challenges in preventive healthcare, yet their cancer screening uptake remain poorly characterized. We aimed to synthesize breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening uptake among refugees in high and middle-income countries.

While smoking cessation reduces health risks, its impact on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains complex when considering post-cessation weight gain. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the association between smoking cessation and diabetes risk stratified by weight change and cessation duration.

Loneliness is increasingly recognized as a significant factor influencing health outcomes, including weight management. Nevertheless, its role in intentional weight loss remains underexplored. The 12-month digital Healthy Weight Coaching (HWC), in Finland, offers a real-world context to investigate this relationship. We explored whether baseline loneliness affects weight loss during HWC and whether comorbidities or perceived obesity-related disadvantages mediate this relationship.

To assess how stagnation in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality declines since 2010 impacted racial disparities in life expectancy between Black and White Americans.

Temporary alcohol abstinence campaigns (TAAC), such as Dry January, aim to encourage behavioural change in the general population. Despite its popularity, a comprehensive evaluation of the French version has not yet been conducted. This prospective study aimed to identify characteristics associated with successful completion of the challenge (i.e., remaining alcohol-free throughout January), and to assess improvements in drinking refusal self-efficacy, sleep quality, and mental and physical health.

Cannabis use has increased among younger adults in the United States alongside rising rates of heart disease. This study examines the association between cannabis use frequency and heart disease among adults aged 18-49.
