“…and the absence of A.a. were also proven to be independent risk factors of RA. This is consistent with already accepted findings regarding the established risk factors of RA [ 46 , 47 ]. The only exception in this context is the absence of A.a. as a risk factor for RA in this multivariate evaluation.…”

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis (PD) are proven to share common risk markers, including genetic factors. In the present study we focused on genetic variants in PTPN22 (rs2476601), PADI4 (rs2240340), CTLA4 genes (rs3087243) and its impact on RA and PD. Materials and methods In the study 111 RA patients and 256 systemically healthy controls were involved. A subdivision of patients and controls was carried out according the severity of periodontitis (no/level 1 PD vs. level 2 PD). Results I. Evaluating the genetic impact on the occurrence of RA the T allele of rs2476601 (PTPN22) (bivariate: p < 0.001; multivariate: p = 0.018) and T allele of rs2240340 (PADI4) (bivariate: p = 0.006; multivariate: p = 0.070) were associated with an increased vulnerability to RA. II. Investigating the genetic influence on level 2 PD the T allele of rs2476601 (PTPN22) was shown to be associated with a higher susceptibility to PD within the RA group (bivariate: p = 0.043; multivariate: p = 0.024). III. The T allele of rs2476601 (PTPN22) was proven to be a significant marker of RA and level 2 PD comorbidity (bivariate: p < 0.001; multivariate: p = 0.028). Conclusions These results support the thesis that genetic variations may represent a possible link between PD and RA. The study increases knowledge about disease-specific and cross-disease genetic pattern.

“…Our findings build on previous work showing that knowledge of others’ decisions impacts decisions to take risks. In one study using a monetary risk-taking task (the Balloon Analogue Risk Task, in which individuals pump up a virtual balloon for money and with each pump the risk of it popping increases), individuals took more or less risky choices when presented with the knowledge that others had made high or low risky choices, respectively ( Tomova & Pessoa, 2018 ). In another study which investigated the effects of social norms on simulated risky driving performance, adolescents (16–18 years) made more risky decisions when watched by risk-accepting versus risk-averse age-matched peers ( Simons-Morton et al, 2014 ).…”

This study examined how individual differences in expectations of social consequences relate to individuals’ expected involvement in health‐risk behaviors (HRBs). A total of 122 adolescents (aged 11–17) reported their expected involvement in a number of risk behaviors and whether or not they expect to be liked more or less by engaging in the behavior: the expected social benefit. Higher perceived social benefit was associated with higher anticipated involvement in said behavior. This relationship was stronger for adolescents who reported a higher degree of peer victimization, supporting the hypothesis that experiencing victimization increases the social value of peer interactions. Findings suggest that adolescents incorporate expectations of social consequences when making decisions regarding their involvement in HRBs.

“…The previous meta-analysis showed that the association with peer smoking was greater compared to family members [39]. A laboratory-based behavioral study found that the risky decisions of adolescents was influenced by the choices of their peers [40]. Furthermore, adolescents tended to imitate conventional cigarette smoking behaviors of others that were associated with their social context and shared a common normative belief [41].…”

PurposeThis study aimed to examine factors associated with electronic cigarette use among adolescents aged 15–19 in Jakarta, Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachThe study was a school-based survey involving 1,318 students from 14 high schools in Jakarta. A multistage cluster sampling methodology was used. The authors used the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression to examine the association between electronic cigarette use and sociodemographic, social influences, health risk perceptions, availability, affordability and conventional cigarette smoking status.FindingsOverall, 6.3% of females and 29% of males reported ever having used electronic cigarettes. Electronic cigarette use was independently associated with sex, school locations, conventional cigarette smoking status, peer use, availability and perceptions that electronic cigarettes aid conventional cigarette smoking cessation. Compared with non-smokers, lifetime (AOR: 8.740, 95% CI: 5.126–14.901) and current conventional cigarette smokers (AOR: 18.380, 95% CI: 10.577–31.938) were more likely to use electronic cigarettes.Social implicationsThe use of electronic cigarettes among adolescents was considerably high in this study. Therefore, the tobacco control policy should be extended to regulate the marketing and use of all types of tobacco products and not just conventional cigarettes.Originality/valueThe study explored beyond individual lifestyle factors that contributed to electronic cigarette use in Indonesia such as affordability, school locations and availability of electronic cigarettes. These issues have not been specifically discussed in previous studies.
