“…A final strength is that we accounted for personality which is also an important factor affecting subjective ratings of health. [31][32][33] Turning to the findings, we observed lower incidence rate ratios for 'Excellent' self-reported health some four decades later among children who had high caries experience than among those who were caries-free at 5 years old. This was despite some differences between the cohorts in terms of the numbers represented in the moderate and high caries groups, and differences in the wording of the self-rated general health questions used; however, findings were not significant in either cohort.…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate whether childhood dental caries was associated with self‐reported general health in midlife.MethodsWe used data on childhood oral health (caries experience) and adult self‐reported general health from two New Zealand longitudinal birth cohorts, the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study (n = 922 and n = 931 at ages 5 and 45 years, respectively), and the Christchurch Health and Development Study (n = 1048 and n = 904 at ages 5 and 40 years, respectively). We used generalized estimating equations to examine associations between age‐5 dental caries and self‐rated general health and the number of self‐reported physical health conditions at ages 45/40 (diagnosed by a doctor or health professional, n = 14 conditions among both cohorts). Covariates included known risk factors for poor health (SES, IQ, perinatal complications), and personality style, which is known to affect subjective health ratings.ResultsIncidence rate ratios for ‘Excellent’ self‐rated health were lower among those who had high experience of dental caries as children than those who had not in both, the Dunedin (IRR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.50, 1.14) and Christchurch studies (IRR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.47, 1.00). Childhood dental caries was not associated with the number of self‐reported physical health conditions in midlife, in either cohort. Dunedin Study members who at age 5 were not caries‐free or whose parents rated their own or their child’s oral health as poor were less likely to report ‘Excellent’ self‐rated general health at age 45 than those who were caries‐free and whose parents did not give a ‘poor’ rating (IRR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.49, 0.97).ConclusionsFive‐year‐olds with greater caries experience were more likely to have poorer self‐rated general health by midlife. Beyond this longitudinal association, future research should examine whether childhood dental caries is associated with objective/biological markers of physical health and whether it may have utility as an early indicator for poor general health in adulthood.

“…Our results were in line with the study of Sutin et al ( 42 ) who observed that young adults with higher neuroticism had a greater risk of elevated BP. Similarly, it has been reported that high neuroticism was more likely to induce metabolic syndrome in women than in men ( 68 ). Although extraversion, conscientiousness, or agreeableness was shown to be beneficial for BP in other studies, these favorable relationships between BP and other personality traits were not observed in our study.…”

IntroductionThe prevalence of hypertension (HTN) has been increasing in young adults. A healthy dietary pattern and increasing physical activity (PA) are commonly recommended as lifestyle modifications needed to manage blood pressure (BP). However, little is known about the relationship between dairy intake, PA, and BP in Chinese young women. The aim of this study was to examine whether BP was associated with dairy intake, moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and total physical activity (TPA) in a sample of Chinese young women.MethodsA total of 122 women (20.4 ± 1.4) who had complete data sets from the Physical Fitness in Campus (PFIC) study were included in this cross-sectional analysis. Data related to dairy intake and PA was collected using a food frequency questionnaire and an accelerometer. BP was measured following standardized procedures. The association between BP with dairy intake and PA was examined using multivariable linear regression models.ResultsAfter controlling for potential covariables, we observed a significant and independent relationship only between systolic BP with dairy intake [standardized beta (b) = −0.275, p < 0.001], MVPA (b = −0.167, p = 0.027), and TPA (b = −0.233, p = 0.002). Furthermore, we found a decrease of 5.82 ± 2.94, 1.13 ± 1.01, and 1.10 ± 0.60 mm Hg in systolic BP for daily additional servings of dairy, 10 min of MVPA, and 100 counts per minute of TPA, respectively.ConclusionOur results suggested that the higher amount of dairy consumption or PA was associated with lower level of SBP in Chinese young women.

Background. Determining the social and hygienic patterns of children’s health is an important scientific and methodological task of pediatrics, the solution of which makes it possible to manage health processes. Natural factors that affect health include iodine deficiency in environmental components. Nowadays in 19 countries, including Ukraine, the issue of iodine deficiency remains relevant. The purpose was to analyze social and hygienic factors in schoolchildren from the iodine deficiency region. Materials and methods. A survey of schoolchildren (n = 1,973) and their parents (n = 655) was conducted, we have examined 397 children aged 10–12 years from 7 districts of the Chernivtsi region. The concentration of inorganic iodine in a single urine portion was determined in 197 children, salt samples were tested using a rapid test. Results. In 2017, 56.1 % of parents-respondents did not know about the problem of iodine deficiency, and in 2019 — 28.2 %. Out of 397 salt samples taken from households, the presence of iodine was found in 133 (33.5 %) and 45 (41.3 %) of 109 samples taken from trade establishments. Of 509 samples labeled as iodized salt, only 35 % contained iodine and 65 % did not meet the requirements. The hygienic assessment of the balance of children’s diet revealed significant violations that may contribute to the development of iodine deficiency. Of 1,973 respondents, 15.7 % eat natural products. A disharmonious style of family upbringing dominated, which changes the emotional and mental state of a child. The median ioduria in the examined population is in general 58.1 ± 3.2 μg/l, the frequency of goiter among prepubertal children of Bukovinian region is 17.2 %. Two or more concomitant diseases, asthenic, neurotic and affective disorders were detected in 75.5 % of schoolchildren. Conclusions. Low public awareness, sale of iodized salt on the consumer market, which does not meet hygienic standards for iodine content, low motivation to use iodized salt on the background of iodine deficiency, even mild, are additional risk factors for iodine deficiency in schoolchildren of Chernivtsi region.
