Although food labeling on packages is crucial for promoting a healthy diet, limited research has been conducted how the COVID-19 pandemic (hereinafter "the pandemic") affected awareness. Therefore, this study aims to analyze changes in trends awareness, comprehension, and usage South Korea during pandemic. We utilized nationwide, large-scale, long-term dataset provided by Community Health Survey (KCHS) from 2014 2022 (total = 1,756,847 participants). This allowed researchers assess prevalence of usage. Furthermore, we investigated factors associated with awareness specifically related In total, adults (54.19% women) participated study. The upward slope overall became less pronounced even exhibited downward (βdiff - 1.759; 95% CI 1.874 1.644). comprehension more (comprehension: βdiff 0.535; 0.436-0.634; usage: 0.693; 0.601-0.785). vulnerability lower included older age, male, obesity, residing rural areas, household income, educational level, smoking, increased alcohol consumption. analyzed 9-year trend based nationally representative data 2022.

Abstract The impact of the pandemic on hypertension management is unknown, particularly regarding changes in demographic risk factors. We conducted a comprehensive study between 1998 and 2021 long-term trends prevalence South Korea, including comparison pre-pandemic eras. Data from to 108,687 Korean adults were obtained through nationwide, large-scale, serial study. weighted complex sampling analysis estimates national compared slope before during determine trend dynamics. included participants over 24 years, 1998–2021. While patients with consistently increased 25.51% [95% CI: 24.27–26.75] 1998–2005 27.81% 26.97–28.66] 2016–2019, increasing slowed period (28.07% 26.16–29.98] for 2021; β diff , −0.012 [−0.023 0.000]). Hypertension awareness, treatment, control, control rates among receiving treatment followed similar trends. Compared era, individuals aged 19–59 years or male had significantly treated pandemic. This investigated prevalence, adults. absence reduction health indicators associated implies that medical services remain unaffected.

Background Although understanding long-term trends in adolescent screen time and the influence of family structure is essential, there a lack research addressing these issues comprehensively. Objective This study aimed to conduct comprehensive investigations into before during COVID-19 pandemic, with particular focus on structures. Methods used nationwide, large-scale data from Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey South Korea. We indicate changes over 15 years 2008 2022. Weighted linear regression was analyze annual stratified analyses were conducted examine associated risk factors across different Results total 836,972 individuals (n=403,456, 48.2% women), an age range 12-18 years. The analysis revealed overall increase prepandemic (β=8.06, 95% CI 7.74-8.39), notable observed at onset pandemic (β=162.06, 159.49-164.64). Among diverse structures, orphanage group showed most substantial (βdiff=221.90, 159.62-284.17). varied by structure. Notably, nuclear presented distinct time–related factors, including grade, region residence, physical activity frequency, sadness despair, highest education level parents.

Journal of Medical Internet Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 26, P. e51640 - e51640

Published: Feb. 6, 2024

Background The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in 2019 has necessitated the rapid and accurate detection COVID-19 to manage patients effectively implement public health measures. Artificial intelligence (AI) models analyzing cough sounds have emerged as promising tools for large-scale screening early identification potential cases. Objective This study aimed investigate efficacy using a diagnostic tool COVID-19, considering unique acoustic features that differentiate positive negative We investigated whether an AI model trained on sound recordings from specific periods, especially stages pandemic, were applicable ongoing situation with persistent variants. Methods used 3 data sets (Cambridge, Coswara, Virufy) representing different pandemic Our was Cambridge set subsequent evaluation against all sets. performance analyzed based area under receiver operating curve (AUC) across measurement periods Results demonstrated high AUC when tested set, indicative its initial effectiveness. However, varied significantly other sets, particularly detecting later variants such Delta Omicron, marked decline observed latter. These results highlight challenges maintaining backdrop evolving virus. Conclusions While offer noninvasive method their effectiveness is challenged by emergence new virus Ongoing research adaptations methodologies are crucial address these limitations. adaptability evolve underscores foundational technology not only current but also future outbreaks, contributing more agile resilient global infrastructure.

Famotidine has been proposed as a promising candidate for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, there is limited research on association famotidine with poor prognosis COVID-19.The Korean nationwide cohort included 6,556 patients who tested positive RT-PCR severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The COVID-19-related outcomes were defined basis having encountered composite outcome high oxygen therapy, intensive care unit admission, administration mechanical ventilation, or death. In addition, we performed exposure-driven propensity score matching no H2-blocker use versus current use, and other use.4,785 (73.0%) did not H2-blocker, 393 (6.0%) currently used famotidine, 1,292 (19.7%) than famotidine. multivariable analysis after (no use), was significant between (adjusted odd ratios [aOR]: 1.30, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.55-3.06). On hand, another matched (other demonstrated (aOR: 3.56, CI: 1.03-12.28).Our study results support potential therapeutic agent COVID-19. A rather unexpected result could be observed in comparisons use; it that increased risk COVID-19 related outcomes. Further studies are needed to clearly prove causal relationship several H2-blockers, including
