The results reveal a non-linear relationship between internet use and vaccine scepticism. Individuals without internet access as well as those who search very frequently for vaccination-related information online exhibit higher levels of scepticism. In addition, low DHL is consistently associated with greater vaccine scepticism, suggesting that the ability to critically evaluate online health information is as important as access itself. Furthermore, dissatisfaction with the healthcare system and lower national healthcare quality are linked to more sceptical attitudes toward vaccination.

This study aimed to evaluate cosmetic product use behaviors, health risk perceptions, and adverse effect experiences among adolescents, and to identify factors associated with adverse effect experiences and predictors of hormonal disruption risk perception. This descriptive, web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescents aged 12-18 years in Türkiye between June and August 2021. Data were collected using a researcher-developed 29-item questionnaire assessing sociodemographic characteristics, cosmetic product use patterns, health risk perceptions, safe cosmetic use behaviors, and adverse effect experiences. Categorical variables were analyzed using Pearson's chi-square test, Yates correction, Fisher's exact test, or exact methods, as appropriate. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of hormonal disruption risk perception. A total of 248 adolescents participated, of whom 59.3% were female and 87.1% were aged 16-18 years. The most frequently used cosmetic products were shampoo/conditioner (95.9%), oral care products (95.5%), perfume/deodorant (89.8%), and shower gel (80.9%). Female adolescents reported significantly higher use of several skincare and decorative cosmetic products than males (p &lt; 0.05). The most common motivation for cosmetic product use was to look well-groomed (68.6%). Most participants believed that cosmetic product ingredients could be harmful to the body (88.3%), cause cancer (79.9%), or cause hormonal disruption (64.3%). Although several safe cosmetic use behaviors were commonly reported, only 18.0% of participants performed an allergy test before product use. Adverse effects related to cosmetic product use were reported by 26.5% of participants and were significantly associated with recent cosmetic use and the use of hair dye, eye cosmetics, facial care products, acne treatment products, facial makeup products, lip cosmetics, and foot care products (all p &lt; 0.05).

Therefore, nocturia may be related to accelerated biological aging rather than simply \"getting older\". Accordingly, we sought to compare associations of chronological and biological age with relation to nocturnal voiding frequency. In this pilot study, we prospectively studied 68 patients who were evaluated for cardiovascular disease - a condition in which chronological and biological age often differ considerably. Biological age was estimated using PhenoAge, a validated composite biomarker derived from 9 clinical and laboratory parameters reflecting systemic aging processes. Mean chronological age was significantly younger than mean biological age (70.5 ± 10.2 years vs. 78.8 ± 17.8 years, p < 0.001) and the two measures of age were significantly correlated (r=0.67, p<0.001). Median number of nighttime voids was 2. On univariate and mutlivariate analyses, ANV was significantly correlated with PhenoAge (r = 0.33, p=0.006), but not chronological age (r = 0.084, p = 0.49). In conclusion, this pilot study suggests that PhenoAge may better capture the physiological processes associated with nocturia than chronological age alone.</p>","PeriodicalId":15550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Health","volume":" ","pages":"861-864"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148562290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
