The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between food security and medication adherence among young and middle-aged adults with diabetes. This study used 2019 National Health Interview Survey data. Persons were included if they were aged less than 50 and had a diabetes diagnosis. Individuals were categorized as nonadherent to medication if they answered \"yes\" to one question indicating nonadherence. Food security status was categorized as food secure, low food security, and very low food security. Among adults under age 50 with diabetes, nearly a fifth were categorized as having low or very low food security. Approximately a quarter of the participants were not adherent. Respondents with low food security and very low food security were significantly more likely to be nonadherent to medication than those who were food secure.

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between smoking patterns and menopause-specific quality of life. This cross-sectional study included 513 consecutive midlife women at two primary health care centers in Belgrade, Serbia. Collection of data was carried out from February 2014 to January 2015, using three questionnaires: socio-epidemiologic questionnaire, Menopause-specific Quality of Life questionnaire (MENQOL) and Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI). Women reported their smoking status (smoker, former smoker, non-smoker), the length of time spent smoking and quantity of cigarettes smoked per day. There was no difference in proportions of ever smokers compared to never smokers. However, there were more women who were current nonsmokers than current smokers. A linear regression model, adjusted for residency district, relationship status, educational level, employment, drinking alcohol, having exercise, age and BDI, showed that longer duration of smoking, but not number of cigarettes smoked per day, was associated with worse Physical domain and total MENQOL score. Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis showed that menopausal symptoms as measured by total MENQOL score were significantly less bothersome for women who smoked less than 10 years and significantly more intense in women who smoked 21 to 30 years. Midlife women should be encouraged to quit smoking as soon as possible, preferably before menopause. Strategies to prevent and quit smoking should be prioritized at all levels of health care delivery for women.Supplemental data for this article is available online at.</p>","PeriodicalId":55395,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Medicine","volume":"49 1","pages":"29-39"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10733779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also examined whether baseline exercise self-efficacy moderated the association between baseline depression symptoms and change in these key PR outcomes. We studied 112 US veterans (aged 70.38 ± 8.49 years) with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who completed PR consisting of twice-weekly 2-hour classes for 18 sessions. Depressed (BDI-II >13) and nondepressed (BDI-II ≤13) patients at baseline demonstrated comparable and significant improvement in CRQ-SR total score, subscales, and 6MWT. Greater reduction in depression over the course of treatment was significantly associated with greater improvement in CRQ-SR total score and the following subscales: fatigue, mastery, and emotional function. Change in depression did not predict change in 6MWT distance. Baseline exercise self-efficacy moderated the association between baseline depression symptoms and change in CRQ-SR fatigue. Specifically, when baseline exercise self-efficacy was <30.4, greater baseline depression was associated with less improvement in CRQ-SR fatigue. When baseline self-efficacy was >152.0, greater baseline depression was associated with greater improvement in CRQ-SR fatigue.
