Data was linked with parental education from population registers. Social inequality was measured by OR, relative index of inequality (RII), and slope index of inequality (SII). Trend tests measured changes over time.Results: No difference in odds for overweight/obesity by parental education was observed between 2002 and 2004, but from 2005 social inequality in overweight/obesity was revealed. The OR for overweight/obesity ranged from 1.20 (95% CI: 0.76-1.89) to 2.31 (95% CI: 1.64-3.25) for infants of parents with lowest educational attainment. RII ranged from 0.78 to 0.41 (test for trend, p = 0.179) and SII ranged from -0.92 to -4.54 (test for trend, p = 0.026) indicating a persistent relative social inequality and an increase in absolute social inequality in overweight/obesity from 2002 to 2022, respectively.Conclusion: The study revealed persistent relative social inequality and increased absolute social inequality in overweight/obesity among Danish infants from 2002 to 2022.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1608203"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12399434/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144992258","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}

We explored long-term trajectories of adults' well-being from before the pandemic through its progression and identified risk factors for compromised well-being.Methods: Psychological well-being of a diverse group of 481 adults (18-74 years) was assessed prior to (T0) and during the pandemic (T1-T5: 04-05/2020, 10-11/2020, 04-05/2021, 10-11/2021, 04-05/2022). Latent variable mixture modelling identified subgroups with distinct trajectories of well-being. Ordinal regression analysis investigated risk factors for low well-being during the pandemic.Results: Three subgroups with different trajectories were identified: 73% reported consistently good well-being; 21% experienced decreasing well-being; and 5% exhibited consistently low well-being. Decreasing or consistently low well-being was significantly associated with younger age, limited social support, caregiving responsibilities, concerns about COVID-19 infection, and stress due to pandemic-related changes.Conclusion: While many individuals remained resilient, a vulnerable subgroup experienced mental health challenges over 2 years of the pandemic. Given the global scale, even a small affected proportion represents millions of people. Public health measures are essential to identify and support those at highest risk for impaired psychological well-being.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1608347"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12331532/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144816578","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}

Research shows that gender, age and socioeconomic status were associated with higher mortality during the pandemic. However, most studies are cross-sectional and country specific.

Data from 28 countries, from SHARE waves 7 to 9, are examined using t-tests, chisquaretests and multivariate logit regression models, controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. The three binary outcome variable sindicate the time and cause of death.Results: Being male, older, without a partner, self-reporting financial difficulties, and living in Eastern Europe were associated with an increased likelihood of dying during the pandemic.

This study assessed the prevalence and risk factors of PPV among in-school adolescents in a state in South-east, Nigeria.Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted among 1,296 in-school adolescents using the Global School-based students Health Survey questionnaire. Data on socio-demographic characteristics and factors associated with PPV were obtained and p-value <0.05 was considered significant.Result: The overall mean age (S.D) of participants was 15.0 ± 2.0 years and the prevalence of PPV was 43.1%. In multivariate logistic regression, predictors of PPV were gambling (AOR: 1.56; 95%CI:1.13-2.16; p = 0.007), cigarette smoking (AOR: 1.85; 95%CI:1.01-3.40; p = 0.047), serious injury in the past 1 year (AOR: 2.29; 95%CI:1.78-2.95; p < 0.001) and bully victims (AOR: 1.70; 95% CI:1.28-2.25; p < 0.001).

Stricter regulations on gambling through legislation, especially as it concerns age, and adoption of school policies against bullying and cigarette smoking are recommended.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1608128"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12310562/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144759980","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}
