Association of immigrant status with self-rated health in Spain: 2014-2020.
To examine inequalities in self-rated health between immigrant and native populations in 2014 and 2020, and whether these inequalities vary by sex/gender and social support. ⋯ Given the growth of the immigrant population in Spain and the importance of immigration as a social determinant of health, these findings call attention to a deeper examination of inequalities, with the aim of identifying potential factors leading to bad/poor rating of health over time.

Combined effects of sleep timing and nighttime sleep duration on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
While short sleep duration is linked to higher risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the combined effects of sleep timing and sleep duration on NAFLD are less explored. ⋯ Intermediate to late sleep timing, even with normal sleep duration, is associated with increased NAFLD risk. These findings underscore the importance of considering both sleep timing and sleep duration for NAFLD prevention, especially in men and individuals with cardiometabolic conditions.

Association between obesity phenotypes and dietary patterns: A two-step cluster analysis based on the China multi-ethnic cohort study.
This study aimed to explore obesity phenotypes and investigate their association with dietary patterns. ⋯ Obesity phenotypes are closely related to metabolic and demographic characteristics, with serum uric acid being a significant factor in categorizing the metabolic states of obesity. The rice-oil-red meat and oil-salt patterns may be related to the metabolic status of individuals with obesity.

Age, sex, and pre-arrest comorbidities shape the risk trajectory of sudden cardiac death- Patterns highlighted by population data in Taiwan.
Few reports have indicated the secular trend in the sudden cardiac death (SCD) incidence and pre-arrest comorbidities. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the trend of SCD incidence and its association with pre-arrest comorbidities. ⋯ The incidence of SCD steadily increased in Taiwan from 2011 to 2018. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, psychological disorders, and arthritis were major pre-arrest comorbidities. Age is the most important risk factor for SCD. Further large-scaled population-based study that investigated in diverse ethnicities from countries in addition to Asians would be warranted.

Risk-stratified screening and colorectal cancer incidence and mortality: A retrospective study from the prostate, lung, colorectal, and ovarian cancer screening trial.
To determine whether risk stratification can optimize the benefits of flexible sigmoidoscopy (FSG) screening. ⋯ FSG screening yielded more benefits for the high-risk group than for the low-risk and medium-risk groups, supporting the development of a risk-stratified CRC screening strategy.
