In an era of increased incidence of cardiovascular and psychiatric diseases, directing individuals to hiking can be very important from both public health and socioeconomic perspectives. Since the health status of recreational hikers and the general population in the Republic of Serbia has not been compared yet, our objectives are to compare the health-related characteristics of those two groups, including the prevalence of comorbidities, pharmacotherapy, and drug consumption. <b>Methods:</b> A descriptive epidemiological study was conducted. Research questions were asked via two specially prepared questionnaires distributed through the Google Forms platform. The means of the two groups were tested by a two-sample Student <i>t</i>-test for independent variables. <b>Results:</b> The sample consisted of 259 hikers and 292 people from the general population. A total of 199 hikers (76.8%) and 218 people from the general population group (74.7%) were declared as healthy. The statistically significant differences between the groups included age, sex, education level, and body mass index. In both groups, the majority of those with pre-existing medical conditions had at least one cardiovascular disease (23.5% of the hikers and 19.5% of the individuals in the general group). Pre-existing psychiatric diseases were noted in 6% of the hikers and in 12% of those in the general group. The average durations of the disease in the hiker and general population were 11.9 and 8.4 years, respectively (<i>p</i> < 0.05), whereas, there were no differences in drug consumption. <b>Conclusions:</b> This pilot study represents the comparison of the cardiovascular and mental health among hikers and the general population in the Republic of Serbia. Although psychiatric diseases were clearly less prevalent among hikers, the prevalence and burden of cardiovascular diseases must be interpreted with caution, due to big age difference between the respondents from both groups. However, our future studies will employ objective measurements and clinical parameters rather than self-reported surveys, so that the health benefits of hiking appear more clearly.</p>","PeriodicalId":12977,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare","volume":"13 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11942088/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143729825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Centralized Volume-Based Drug Procurement (CVBDP) launched in March 2019 in China, also known as the '4+7' policy. 11 cities, including Xi'an city in Shaanxi Province, were set up as pilots. This study aims to examine the intended and unintended impacts of the '4+7' policy on the use of original and generic drugs in city-level and county-level hospitals in Shaanxi, China. <b>Methods:</b> The data used in this study came from the Shaanxi Drug and Apparatus Centralized Procurement Platform (SDACPP). In total, 111,999 drug procurement order records of 118 policy-related drugs (including 25 '4+7' policy-list drugs and 93 alternative drugs by generic name) from April 2017 to November 2019 were included in analyses. Policy-list drugs were divided into bid-winning and non-winning drug products. The volume and the expenditure of the drugs served as the outcome variables, measured by Defined Daily Doses (DDDs) and Chinese yuan (CNY), respectively. A difference-in-differences (DID) approach was used to estimate the policy's net effect. <b>Results:</b> After the '4+7' policy, the volume of bid-winning, policy-list, and policy-related drugs increased. An unexpected increase in volume was observed among alternative drugs, especially original drugs in city-level hospitals. The expenditure of policy-list and non-winning drugs declined, whereas that of alternative drugs unanticipatedly increased. Changes in volume and expenditure were both greater in generic drugs and in city-level hospitals, compared to their original and county-level hospital counterparts. <b>Conclusions:</b> Our findings highlight the positive effects of the '4+7' policy on generic drug substitution and pharmaceutical expenditure containment, which are greater in city-level hospitals. The unanticipatedly incremental volume of original drugs in city-level hospitals suggests the potential risk of the poor quality of bid-winning drugs, lower compliance with bid-winning drugs among patients, or physicians' profit-seeking behaviors in urban areas.

This study aimed to assess inequity in the distribution of specific communicable and non-communicable diseases among the adult population of Pécs City, Hungary. <b>Methods:</b> This is an ecological study combined with health inequity analysis. The study population comprised adult patients living in the city of Pécs who were treated for circulatory, neoplasm, or respiratory diseases in 2019. Hospitalization and local socioeconomic data by zip codes were obtained from the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary and the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. Diseases were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10). The differences and ratios of the proportions of treated diseases were calculated, along with the concentration index (C). Zip codes were ranked into categories 1 to 5 based on socio-demographic variables: education, employment status, and apartment ownership. A <i>p</i>-value of less than 0.05 was used as the cut-off point for statistical significance. IBM SPSS version 25 and STATA version 14.0 software were used for data analysis. <b>Results:</b> All 36 zip codes in the city of Pécs were included in this study. Analysis based on employment status showed a higher prevalence of neoplasms in areas with higher unemployment (C = -0.0528; 95% CI = -0.0975, -0.0080).

Through a systematic review, the study explores various factors shaping nursing professionalism, including communication skills, resilience, education, and cultural perceptions. <b>Methods:</b> A systematic search was conducted across multiple electronic databases from 2014 to 2024 to identify relevant studies on nursing professionalism.
