Although genetic predispositions and individual medical histories are well-recognized risk factors, emerging research suggests a significant impact of external factors like neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics. This study systematically reviews and meta-analyzes the association between neighborhood deprivation and GDM incidence. We searched multiple databases up to January 10, 2024, for studies linking neighborhood deprivation with GDM. Eligible studies were selected based on predefined criteria, with the Nested Knowledge software assisting in screening and data extraction. Quality assessment utilized the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and a random-effects model computed the pooled relative risk (RR) using R software, version 4.3. The review included six studies varying significantly in design, sample sizes, and deprivation assessment methods. The meta-analysis combined data from five studies totaling 15 827 participants from the least deprived and 18 147 from the most deprived neighborhoods, yielding an RR of 0.909, indicating a non-significant lower risk of GDM in more deprived groups. A substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 70%) was observed, and sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of these findings. This analysis suggests that living in a deprived neighborhood does not significantly alter GDM risk, underscoring the necessity for further research to refine public health strategies and interventions. The variability in neighborhood deprivation definitions and potential unaccounted confounding factors highlight the need for comprehensive studies, especially from low-income and middle-income countries, to elucidate the intricate links between socioeconomic factors and GDM.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"200-207"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142886531","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 previously reported that the physical function of walk-in rehabilitation users in Japan worsened after the state of emergency declaration and continued to worsen until the end of 2020. However, whether physical function continued to worsen during the prolonged pandemic period remains unclear. This study aimed to characterize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on community-dwelling people with disabilities. Data measured every 3 to 6 months from January 2018 to December 2022 were examined retrospectively for patients who started using day care services by July 2018 and continued until July 2022. Every 6 months was considered one period. Mixed-effects model repeated measures (MMRMs) were performed, including missing measurements for 10 periods from the first half of 2018 to the second half of 2022, and each period was tested for multiple comparisons. The MMRM showed that both walking speed (P < .001) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) scores (P < .001) changed from period to period. Walking speed and TUG scores worsened after 2020 and continued to worsen thereafter. Thus, the impact of lifestyle changes associated with the pandemic on community-dwelling people with disabilities was not transitory.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"305-311"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607280","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}

Among the PICTs, Fiji faces a growing burden of cancer. This study aimed to analyze cancer incidence and mortality data in Fiji from 2010 to 2018 to identify trends and provide an update on the current cancer-related statistics in the Fiji Islands. The top three cancer incidence rates among women were breast, cervical, and endometrial cancer, whereas prostate, liver, and lung cancer were the most prevalent among men. Notably, the central division had higher cancer incidence rates, whereas the northern division had a disproportionately higher mortality rate. Factors contributing to these trends may include lifestyle behaviors, limited access to health care in certain regions, and low awareness. Although this study has limitations due to data quality, it emphasizes the need for targeted interventions, accurate data reporting, and improved cancer treatment delivery to reduce the burden of cancer in Fiji.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"208-217"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11969890/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
