“…Logistic regression was used to identify any possible association between activity-related behavior participation and stroke incidence among the matched sample. 14 Regression results were expressed as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). P-value <0.05 was considered significant for all statistical tests.…”

Background: Stroke has been linked to a lack of physical activity; however, the extent of the association between inactive lifestyles and stroke risk has yet to be characterized across large populations. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the association between activity-related behaviors and stroke incidence. Methods: Data from 1999 to 2018 waves of the concurrent cross-sectional National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were extracted. We analyzed participants characteristics and outcomes for all participants with data on whether they had a stroke or not and assessed how different forms of physical activity affect the incidence of disease. Results: Of the 102,578 individuals included, 3851 had a history of stroke. A range of activity-related behaviors was protective against stroke, including engaging in moderate-intensity work over the last 30 days (OR = 0.8, 95% CI = 0.7-0.9; P = 0.001) and vigorousintensity work activities over the last 30 days (OR = 0.6, 95% CI = 0.5-0.8; P < 0.001), and muscle-strengthening exercises (OR = 0.6, 95% CI = 0.5-0.8; P < 0.001). Conversely, more than 4 h of daily TV, video, or computer use was positively associated with the likelihood of stroke (OR = 11.7, 95% CI = 2.1-219.2; P = 0.022). Conclusion: Different types, frequencies, and intensities of physical activity were associated with reduced stroke incidence, implying that there is an option for everyone. Daily or every other day activities are more critical in reducing stroke than reducing sedentary behavior duration.

“…There have been no known cases of transfusion-associated viral hepatitis reported in the UK shortly after transfusion since 2005 (11). Recent studies have found no association between blood transfusion and the risk of cancer (12). However, blood transfusion is an important risk factor for postoperative complications in cancer patients (13).…”

BACKGROUND: Although blood transfusion and hepatitis C might be related, the exact association has not been reported. This study aimed to investigate whether blood transfusion increases the prevalence of hepatitis C infection among the older drinking population. METHODS: This study included an older population with drinking habits participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2013 to 2018. We used weighted multivariable logistic regression models to examine the association between hepatitis C and blood transfusion. A nomogram was employed to evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis C in older drinking people. Propensity matching (PSM) was conducted to balance the confounding factors. Logic models following the PSM were used to validate the association between blood transfusion and hepatitis C. RESULTS: Among the 2972 individuals surveyed, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was reported in 6.43% (37/575) of the transfused group and 2.33% (56/2397) of the non-transfused group. The prevalence of HCV infection was significantly higher in the transfused group than in the non-transfused group. Blood transfusion history was associated with hepatitis C (odds ratio 11.430, 95% confidence interval 5.321–24.554) in the weighted multivariable logistic analysis. The association was particularly pronounced in people aged 60–69 years (odds ratio 14.907, 95% confidence interval 6.459–34.405). The nomogram suggested blood transfusion and age as the two major risk factors for HCV infection. Moreover, the results after PSM still showed that blood transfusions increase the risk of HCV infection. CONCLUSION: Blood transfusion increases the risk of HCV infection in older drinking patients, with a higher risk, particularly in those aged 60–69 years.
