This is particularly effective when the nomogram incorporates the Healthy Lifestyle Index (HLI) and relevant predictors. In this study, we followed up with a group of teachers from the CLUSTer cohort using RedCap and linked it with the Malaysian National Diabetes Registry. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to determine the predictors associated with T2DM risk in teachers during the follow-up period. We translated our findings into an online interactive nomogram. A total of 3477 teachers were included in the study, of whom 697 (20.0%) were ultimately diagnosed with T2DM. The Cox regression model revealed that HLI and 11 other predictors were significantly associated with diabetes risks among teachers. A nomogram that predicted the risks of T2DM at five, seven, and nine years was developed. Of the 12 predictors, age, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and HLI contributed the most to the total score. Combining the HLI with other predictors in a nomogram allows teachers to assess their T2DM risks and take action to prevent the development of T2DM.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142549149","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}

However, this issue has been overlooked among young adults. We examined the association between informal caregiving and subjective well-being among young adults in Japan. This cross-sectional study included 3496 individuals aged 18 to 29 years who participated in the Survey on Satisfaction and Quality of Life, a nationwide online survey by the Cabinet Office of Japan, between 2019 and 2020. Three aspects of subjective well-being were evaluated: life satisfaction, social relationship satisfaction, and health status satisfaction. Participants were divided into three groups based on their engagement in caregiving: \"non-caregiver,\" \"potential caregiver\" (having a family member who needs care but the participants were not engaged in caregiving), and \"caregiver.\" Consequently, 283 (8.1%) participants were potential caregivers and 53 (1.5%) were caregivers. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that compared with non-caregivers, caregivers exhibited significantly lower satisfaction with social relationships and health status, but not life satisfaction. These findings suggest psychosocial disadvantages for young adult caregivers, highlighting the importance of support for them.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142549154","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}

Participants with a history of COVID-19 infection experienced greater psychological distress and poorer oral health outcomes than those without such a history. In those who contracted COVID-19, depression positively associated with decayed teeth; decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT); and oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14), whereas negatively associated with present teeth. Anxiety positively related to decayed teeth, DMFT, and periodontal pockets. Stress negatively associated with decayed teeth, but positively with OHIP-14.

Data from Malaysian Elders Longitudinal Research (MELoR) study was utilized. The presence of knee pain and knee OA symptoms was determined at baseline between 2013 and 2015, whereas sarcopenia was determined in 2019 using SARC-F with telephone interviews. Hospitalization status was identified by asking participants \"Have you been admitted to hospital since you enrolled into the MELoR study?\" Death Registry data were obtained from the National Registry Department. Data from 577 individuals, mean age (SD) = 68.214 (7.095), range = 54 to 97 years, and 55.5% women at baseline, were included. Knee pain and knee OA symptoms were associated with increased risk of probable sarcopenia at follow-up, odds ratios (95% confidence interval) =2.71 [1.61, 4.58] and 2.73 [1.59, 4.71], respectively, after adjustment for confounders. Knee pain and knee OA symptoms were not associated with hospitalization and mortality. Knee pain and knee OA symptoms were associated with increased risk of probable sarcopenia at five-year follow-up in an urban older population in Kuala Lumpur. Future studies should seek to identify modifiable risk factors for the development of sarcopenia in individuals with knee OA.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142549152","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}

This study expands on existing Pacific methodologies and presents a well-being research framework by studying the Niue community. Traditional storytelling or talanoa methodology, referred to as tala in the Niue context, was used to explore and understand the lived experiences of well-being from Niue elders. The elders described traditional activities and objects that are required to sustain well-being, as well as relationships with family, community, and the environment. Three interconnected principles that influence the well-being of the Niue people emerged from the tala, namely, Vahā Loto-Agaaga Ofania (Spirit of Care), Fakafetuiaga (Inclusive Relationship), and Fakamalolo (Empowerment). Using a Niue lens, the key three principles were developed into the Matalili-Aga Gahua (Matalili Wellbeing Framework), based on a circular woven pattern that is distinctive to the Niue culture. The principles of the Matalili Wellbeing Framework are proposed as a guide in future Niue-centered research.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142513513","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}
