We used uni- and multivariate multilevel binary logistic regression models to test whether rates of early sexual initiation changed over time. Country, gender, family affluence, parental support and the clustering effect of school were incorporated in the statistical models; linearity was tested by cubic and quadratic terms in the multivariate models.Results: A significant but very small decline over time was found in early sexual initiation across survey years. Girls and less affluent adolescents had lower odds of early initiation. Parental support (and its interaction with time) also had a significant but small protective role.Conclusion: Despite a small decrease over time, still 4% of participants reported early sexual initiation in 2022. Concerted and sustained efforts are needed to support adolescent sexual health.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1607711"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11932834/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143709563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A TL strategy was implemented by transferring knowledge from a CatBoost model trained on the children's sample and adapting it to the adolescent sample. Model performance was evaluated using standard metrics.Results: Among children, the prevalence of normal blood pressure was 88.9% (301 participants), while 14.1% (50 participants) had elevated blood pressure (EBP). In the adolescent group, the prevalence of normal blood pressure was 92.5% (284 participants), with 7.5% (23 participants) presenting with EBP. Random Forest, XGBoost, and LightGBM achieved high accuracy (0.90) for children, with XGBoost and LightGBM demonstrating superior recall (0.50) and AUC-ROC (0.74). For adolescents, models without TL showed poor performance, with accuracy and recall values remaining low and AUC-ROC ranging from 0.46 to 0.56. After applying TL, model performance improved significantly, with CatBoost achieving an AUC-ROC of 0.82, accuracy of 1.0, and recall of 0.18.Conclusion: Soft drinks, filled cookies, and chips were key dietary predictors of elevated blood pressure, with higher intake in adolescents. Machine learning with transfer learning effectively identified these risks, emphasizing the need for early dietary interventions to prevent hypertension and support cardiovascular health in pediatric populations.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1607944"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11937837/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143719324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A detailed FFQ (Food Frequency Questionnaire) developed by NOVA-UPF Screener with 33 ultra-processed food items was used to evaluate the consumption patterns of UPF.Results: Most of the participants with diabetes have a habit of eating breakfast daily (68%), prefer lunch from home (72%), and about 20% avoid eating at a restaurant. While only 45.7% of the participants without diabetes have breakfast daily, and 88.4% prefer to eat lunch outside rather than homemade food. Comparative analysis shows that all 33 UPFs were consumed significantly less by individuals with diabetes than those without diabetes (p < 0.001).Conclusion: The reduced intake of UPFs highlights greater dietary caution among individuals with T2D.

Indicators of violence included physical fighting, school bullying and cyberbullying (from 2018). Log-binomial regression models were used to test for linear temporal trends, with Generalized Estimating Equations used to account for clustering by country.Results: School bullying perpetration and victimization declined over time in each age/gender group in most countries. Similar declines were reported for frequent physical fighting among boys (all ages) and girls (age 15 only). The prevalence of violent behaviour was almost universally higher in boys in the early cycles than in girls, but this gender difference attenuated over time. For cyberbullying, significant increases were observed since 2018 in all groups except age 15 girls in most countries.Conclusion: This analysis of a large cross-national dataset suggests a decline in traditional forms of adolescent violence.
