Using routine data on the incidence and excess mortality of diabetes, various scenarios for the future trends of type 2 diabetes are modelled using an illness-death model.Results: Based on a type 2 diabetes prevalence of 8.6 % in 2022 (women: 8.2 %, men: 9.2 %), corresponding to a total of 6.05 million cases (women: 2.92 million, men 3.13 million), the prevalence is expected to rise to 16.1 % by 2050 (women: 14.8 %, men: 17.4 %), with the number of cases increasing to 11.01 million (women: 5.19 million, men: 5.82 million). Assuming a 2.0 % annual decline in incidence, the prevalence is expected to rise to only 12.2 % (8.39 million cases); with a simultaneous 2.0 % annual decline in excess mortality, the prevalence is expected to reach 13.0 % (8.94 million cases).Conclusions: The prognosis is mainly influenced by changes in incidence.

The prevention indicator system of the German federal states (Länder in Deutschland), developed between 2018 and 2022, was therefore reviewed in relation to its relevance to climate change.Methods: As a first step, a working group with members from different German federal states developed a model on the relationships between climate change and health in the context of prevention. Central aspects of this model were translated into a checklist based on guiding questions, which was used to conduct a systematic, standardised, and evidence-informed assessment of the climate relevance of the prevention indicator system of the German federal states.Results: Climate change relevance was identified for a total of 49 out of 73 prevention indicators. Most frequently, climate relevance was found for indicators relating to particularly vulnerable groups to climate change-related health impacts (27 indicators), followed by 18 indicators addressing health consequences of climate change.Conclusions: The assessment methodology that we developed proved suitable and can be applied to assess climate relevance in other health indicator systems. This prevention indicator system requires further development of climate aspects that have not yet been included, such as 'health-relevant climate change impacts', 'health costs', and indicators on vaccine-preventable diseases as climate adaptation measures.","PeriodicalId":73767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health monitoring","volume":"10 3","pages":"e13411"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12478464/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145202217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) serves as an indicator of the quality of health care. In Germany, recording is based on the death certificate (ICD-10 code), with variations in documentation leading to underreporting. Studies indicate insufficient data in Berlin and queries in Germany.Method: 2,316 death certificates of women (aged 15 - 50) from the Berlin Central Archive (2019 - 2022) were analysed to identify maternal deaths and the quality of the information provided was assessed. In addition, the recording of pregnancy status on death certificates was examined nationwide.Results: Fourteen maternal deaths (excluding late cases according to the WHO) were identified. Only four cases were identifiable as maternal deaths solely on the basis of ICD-10 codes. The additional information 'Is or was the woman pregnant?' which is important for identification, was available in about a quarter of the death certificates reviewed. In 73.2 % of cases, the question 'Is or was the woman pregnant?' remained unanswered. A nationwide comparison of death certificates revealed considerable differences: only Bavaria and Bremen followed the WHO definition. Saxony-Anhalt does not record pregnancy status at all.Conclusion: The recording of maternal mortality in Germany is incomplete. Death certificates are often deficient. Many federal states record periods outside the WHO definition (3 - 12 months after birth). A standardized national system for registering maternal deaths is required to improve data collection and enable better prevention.","PeriodicalId":73767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health monitoring","volume":"10 3","pages":"e13382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12456086/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined trends in WP use in Germany, focusing on prevalence by age group and differences in initiation age.Methods: We analysed data from 76,239 respondents (≥ 14 years) from the German Study on Tobacco Use (DEBRA); a series of bi-monthly national surveys using face-to-face interviews at home (2018 - 2024). Prevalence trends were modelled using binomial logistic regression models with restricted cubic splines.Results: The prevalence of WP use decreased over time, to an estimated 0.9 % (95 % CI = 0.6 - 1.2) by mid-2024. This prevalence is made up of 0.1 % (95 % CI = 0.0 - 0.2) 14- to 17-year-olds, 0.3 % (95 % CI = 0.2 - 0.6) 18- to 24-year-olds, 0.3 % (95 % CI = 0.2. - 0.4) 25- to 39-year-olds, and 0.2 % (95 % CI = 0.1 - 0.3) people aged 40 years and older. WP use increased until 2020 up to 2.8 % (95 % CI = 2.3 - 3.4), remained stable for two years and then decreased, especially among people between 25 and 39 years of age.

Comprehensive analyses of long-term trends in CHD mortality that also distinguish between acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and non-AMI-related chronic CHD are currently lacking.Method: Age-specific and age-standardised CHD mortality rates for the period 1998 - 2023 were calculated based on data from the cause-of-death statistics of the Federal Statistical Office of Germany. Annual percentage changes (APC) and average annual percentage changes (AAPC) were estimated using joinpoint regression analysis.Results: Between 1998 and 2023, the average annual change in age-standardised CHD mortality rates for women was -3.9 % ((-4.1) - (-3.7)) per year, compared with -3.2 % ((-3.3) - (-3.0)) for men. However, since the 2010s, the downward trend in CHD mortality has flattened, particularly among those aged 60 to 74 years. In the analysis by ICD subgroups, mortality rates for chronic CHD declined less sharply than for AMI over the entire period 1998 - 2023, especially among men.Conclusions: The flattening of the CHD mortality trend, particularly among middle-aged adults over the last decade, and the smaller decline in chronic CHD mortality, especially among men, require further exploration in order to identify unmet needs at various levels of prevention for specific life stages. In addition, the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on CHD mortality trends should be further investigated.","PeriodicalId":73767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health monitoring","volume":"10 2","pages":"e13178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12175194/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144327987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Obesity and smoking are among the major risk factors for their development. In addition to individual behavioural changes, public health measures can help prevent NCDs by creating health-promoting conditions for the population. The aim of this paper is to analyse trends in obesity and smoking prevalence in Germany over time and place these trends in the context of existing public health measures for structural prevention.Method: The prevalence of obesity and smoking over the last 20 years was examined using data from the Robert Koch Institute Telephone Health Surveys and the German Health Update.Results: Between 2003 and 2023, the prevalence of obesity increased from 12.2 % to 19.7 % among women and men, for all age and education groups. The prevalence of smoking decreased from 32.1 % to 28.8 %, especially among younger people and in the highly educated group, but the decline has slowed in recent years.Conclusions: The continuous increase in obesity prevalence between 2003 and 2023 indicates that measures taken so far to prevent obesity have been insufficient. It is therefore imperative not only to address behavioural change at the individual level, but also to implement population-wide, settings-based prevention measures. In addition, more consistent implementation of regulatory measures is needed to further reduce tobacco consumption.","PeriodicalId":73767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health monitoring","volume":"10 1","pages":"e13038"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11973604/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143805038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
