| bmc public health impact factor: Investing in the Health and Well-Being of Young Adults National Research Council, Institute of Medicine, Board on Children, Youth, and Families, Committee on Improving the Health, Safety, and Well-Being of Young Adults, 2015-01-27 Young adulthood - ages approximately 18 to 26 - is a critical period of development with long-lasting implications for a person's economic security, health and well-being. Young adults are key contributors to the nation's workforce and military services and, since many are parents, to the healthy development of the next generation. Although 'millennials' have received attention in the popular media in recent years, young adults are too rarely treated as a distinct population in policy, programs, and research. Instead, they are often grouped with adolescents or, more often, with all adults. Currently, the nation is experiencing economic restructuring, widening inequality, a rapidly rising ratio of older adults, and an increasingly diverse population. The possible transformative effects of these features make focus on young adults especially important. A systematic approach to understanding and responding to the unique circumstances and needs of today's young adults can help to pave the way to a more productive and equitable tomorrow for young adults in particular and our society at large. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults describes what is meant by the term young adulthood, who young adults are, what they are doing, and what they need. This study recommends actions that nonprofit programs and federal, state, and local agencies can take to help young adults make a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. According to this report, young adults should be considered as a separate group from adolescents and older adults. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults makes the case that increased efforts to improve high school and college graduate rates and education and workforce development systems that are more closely tied to high-demand economic sectors will help this age group achieve greater opportunity and success. The report also discusses the health status of young adults and makes recommendations to develop evidence-based practices for young adults for medical and behavioral health, including preventions. What happens during the young adult years has profound implications for the rest of the life course, and the stability and progress of society at large depends on how any cohort of young adults fares as a whole. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults will provide a roadmap to improving outcomes for this age group as they transition from adolescence to adulthood. |

| bmc public health impact factor: Oxford Textbook of Nature and Public Health Matilda van den Bosch, William Bird, 2018-01-05 Human beings have always been affected by their surroundings. There are various health benefits linked to being able to access to nature; including increased physical activity, stress recovery, and the stimulation of child cognitive development. The Oxford Textbook of Nature and Public Health provides a broad and inclusive picture of the relationship between our own health and the natural environment. All aspects of this unique relationship are covered, ranging from disease prevention through physical activity in green spaces to innovative ecosystem services, such as climate change adaptation by urban trees. Potential hazardous consequences are also discussed including natural disasters, vector-borne pathogens, and allergies. This book analyses the complexity of our human interaction with nature and includes sections for example epigenetics, stress physiology, and impact assessments. These topics are all interconnected and fundamental for reaching a full understanding of the role of nature in public health and wellbeing. Much of the recent literature on environmental health has primarily described potential threats from our natural surroundings. The Oxford Textbook of Nature and Public Health instead focuses on how nature can positively impact our health and wellbeing, and how much we risk losing by destroying it. The all-inclusive approach provides a comprehensive and complete coverage of the role of nature in public health, making this textbook invaluable reading for health professionals, students, and researchers within public health, environmental health, and complementary medicine. |

| bmc public health impact factor: Handbook of Intelligent Computing and Optimization for Sustainable Development Mukhdeep Singh Manshahia, Valeriy Kharchenko, Elias Munapo, J. Joshua Thomas, Pandian Vasant, 2022-03-15 HANDBOOK OF INTELLIGENT COMPUTING AND OPTIMIZATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest breakthroughs and recent progress in sustainable intelligent computing technologies, applications, and optimization techniques across various industries. Optimization has received enormous attention along with the rapidly increasing use of communication technology and the development of user-friendly software and artificial intelligence. In almost all human activities, there is a desire to deliver the highest possible results with the least amount of effort. Moreover, optimization is a very well-known area with a vast number of applications, from route finding problems to medical treatment, construction, finance, accounting, engineering, and maintenance schedules in plants. As far as optimization of real-world problems is concerned, understanding the nature of the problem and grouping it in a proper class may help the designer employ proper techniques which can solve the problem efficiently. Many intelligent optimization techniques can find optimal solutions without the use of objective function and are less prone to local conditions. The 41 chapters comprising the Handbook of Intelligent Computing and Optimization for Sustainable Development by subject specialists, represent diverse disciplines such as mathematics and computer science, electrical and electronics engineering, neuroscience and cognitive sciences, medicine, and social sciences, and provide the reader with an integrated understanding of the importance that intelligent computing has in the sustainable development of current societies. It discusses the emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of successfully implementing new and innovative intelligent techniques in a variety of sectors, including IoT, manufacturing, optimization, and healthcare. Audience It is a pivotal reference source for IT specialists, industry professionals, managers, executives, researchers, scientists, and engineers seeking current research in emerging perspectives in the field of artificial intelligence in the areas of Internet of Things, renewable energy, optimization, and smart cities. |
| bmc public health impact factor: Healthy Aging, Mental Health, and Sexuality Alex Siu-Wing Chan, Elsie Yan, Steve Wai Hee Chan, 2023-10-23 Sexuality is the manner in which we undergo and exhibit sexuality. It includes emotions, wants, behaviors, and identities, as well as a variety of forms of physical contact or stimulation. Intimacy is a sense of togetherness and connection in a relationship, which may or may not include physical contact. Aging creates possibilities for older individuals to reinterpret what sexuality and intimacy entail for them as a result of life changes. Certain older individuals want both a sexual and an intimate partnership, while others are fine with either, and some may opt to reject both sorts of partnership. Normal aging also causes physiological changes that might interfere with the capacity for and enjoyment of sexual activity. Our bodies, such as our size, skin, and muscular condition, shift as we age. Certain older individuals are unhappy with their deteriorating bodies. They may be concerned that their lover no longer finds them appealing. Intimacy and a satisfying sex life may be hindered by physical issues brought on by health disorders as well as by stress and anxiety. Men and women have different sexual problems. Erectile Dysfunction, or ED, occurs when a man has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. In certain cases, ED is caused by prostate cancer therapies, such as prostatectomy (a procedure in which the prostate is surgically removed in its entirety or in part). The condition is also caused by other health issues, such as excessive blood sugar, heart disease, or pelvic trauma. Notwithstanding the transformations brought on by natural aging, sexuality remains a vital aspect of our lifestyles as we age. Sexual health and function are essential elements of healthy aging. Sexual activity is connected with superior psychological health, self-esteem, marriage quality, as well as personal well-being, whereas its absence is linked to a worse standard of living. Considering the significance of sexual function and sexual well-being in evaluating healthy aging, as well as the inadequate knowledge of urological health among elderly people, this research topic highlights some of the key urological health aspects relevant to the journeys and mental or medical consequences of healthy aging, psychological wellbeing, and sexuality. Among the broad questions of interest are the following: - The experiences of older adults who identify as having a urological disorder or a mental disorder - Sexual health and sexual function/dysfunction in older adults - Correlation between psychological disorder and urological health among older adults - Culture/sociological discussion between psychological distress and healthy aging among older adults - Addressing sexual function and sexual well-being and healthy aging - Case studies of effective practice - Specific sexual orientation issues among older adults with urological disorders - Incorporating a patient care address for older adults with urological illnesses into the community We are thus seeking innovative research papers, review articles, hypothesis and theory pieces, viewpoint articles, short research report articles, commentary articles, opinion articles, and book reviews. We expect that by combining the ideas of scholars from diverse disciplines or contexts, we will be able to explore the relationship between the significance of sexual function and sexual well-being in defining healthy aging and bridge the knowledge gap in urological health among older adults. |
| bmc public health impact factor: Promoting Health and Addressing Disparities Amongst Indigenous Populations Esteban Ortiz-Prado, Jorge Vasconez-Gonzalez, Rene L. Begay, Juan Sebastian Izquierdo-Condoy, 2025-01-31 Indigenous populations have experienced centuries of oppression, marginalization, and discrimination. In the present day, this has left these populations even more vulnerable as they must confront a significant number of public health challenges to uphold their health and well-being. Indigenous peoples' life expectancy is up to twenty years lower compared to non-Indigenous people which can be attributed to the fact that these populations have an increased likelihood to be disproportionately affected by social determinants of health with poorer health outcomes. These health outcomes contribute to the wide range of health burdens and disparities experienced by Indigenous populations, including increased prevalence of chronic disease, infectious disease, and availability and accessibility of quality health care and treatment. |

| bmc public health impact factor: The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Public Health Sridhar Venkatapuram, Alex Broadbent, 2022-10-07 In comparison to medicine, the professional field of public health is far less familiar. What is public health, and perhaps as importantly, what should public health be or become? How do causal concepts shape the public health agenda? How do study designs either promote or demote the environmental causal factors or health inequalities? How is risk understood, expressed, and communicated? Who is public health research centered on? How can we develop technologies so the benefits are more fairly distributed? Do people have a right to public health? How should we integrate ethics into public health practice? The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Public Health addresses these questions and more, and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising 26 chapters by an international and interdisciplinary team of contributors, the handbook is divided into four clear parts: Concepts and distinctions Reasons and actions Distribution and inequalities Rights and duties The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Public Health is a field-defining and sustained reflection on the various ethical, political, methodological, and conceptual aspects of global public health. As such it is an essential reference source for students and scholars working in political philosophy, bioethics, public health ethics, and the philosophy of medicine, as well as for professionals and researchers in related fields such as public health, health economics, and epidemiology. |

| bmc public health impact factor: Complex Interventions in Health David A. Richards, Ingalill Rahm Hallberg, 2015-04-17 Health and human services currently face a series of challenges – such as aging populations, chronic diseases and new endemics – that require highly complex responses, and take place in multiple care environments including acute medicine, chronic care facilities and the community. Accordingly, most modern health care interventions are now seen as ‘complex interventions’ – activities that contain a number of component parts with the potential for interactions between them which, when applied to the intended target population, produce a range of possible and variable outcomes. This in turn requires methodological developments that also take into account changing values and attitudes related to the situation of patients’ receiving health care. The first book to place complex interventions within a coherent system of research enquiry, this work is designed to help researchers understand the research processes involved at each stage of developing, testing, evaluating and implementing complex interventions, and assist them to integrate methodological activities to produce secure, evidence-based health care interventions. It begins with conceptual chapters which set out the complex interventions framework, discuss the interrelation between knowledge development and evidence, and explore how mixed methods research contributes to improved health. Structured around the influential UK Medical Research Council guidance for use of complex interventions, four sections, each comprised of bite-sized chapters written by multidisciplinary experts in the area, focus on: - Developing complex interventions - Assessing the feasibility of complex interventions and piloting them - Evaluating complex interventions - Implementing complex interventions. Accessible to students and researchers grappling with complex interventions, each substantive chapter includes an introduction, bulleted learning objectives, clinical examples, a summary and further reading. The perspectives of various stakeholders, including patients, families and professionals, are discussed throughout as are the economic and ethical implications of methods. A vital companion for health research, this book is suitable for readers from multidisciplinary disciplines such as medical, nursing, public health, health services research, human services and allied healthcare backgrounds. |

| bmc public health impact factor: Interventions to Prevent or Reduce Unhealthy Habits in Children and Adolescents during Restricted Conditions Mojtaba Keikha, Mostafa Dianati, Motahar Heidari-Beni, Mohammad Hossein Ebrahimi, 2024-12-27 The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has increased worldwide in recent decades. Childhood obesity is associated with serious health problems and the risk of premature illness and death later in life. In addition, there is a growing concern over the effects of sedentary lifestyles on young people’s health. Low physical activity and sedentary behaviour are associated with metabolic and mental health during childhood and adolescence. Parallel to obesity and low physical activity in children and adolescents, excessive use of the virtual space — including increased screen time activity or internet and smartphone addiction— is among the most important health-threatening factors for children and adolescents. |

Manufactured beverages and fast food may also be included as well as microbiological quality and attempts to improve single food items such as meats or vegetables. In this book, Diet Quality: An Evidence-Based Approach, Volume 1 all of the major facets of diet quality in relation to health outcomes are covered. This important new text includes methods for determining diet quality while adopting a holistic approach to impart information on the major areas of concern or knowledge. Chapters link in measurable indices of health such as obesity, pregnancy outcomes, cancer and cancer outcomes, and mortality. This book represents a diverse set of subject matters and seeks to fill a gap in the literature at a time when there is an increasing awareness that well being is associated with the qualitative nature of diets. Contributors are authors of international and national standing and emerging fields of science are incorporated. Diet Quality: An Evidence-Based Approach, Volume 1 is a useful new text designed for nutritionists, dietitians, clinicians, epidemiologist, policy makers and health care professionals of various disciplines. |
| bmc public health impact factor: Recent advances in research on cognitive frailty and related conditions Takao Yamasaki, Shuzo Kumagai, Mutsuhide Tanaka, 2025-04-25 Cognitive frailty (CF) is an age-related condition characterized by the comorbidity of physical frailty and cognitive impairment. This includes reduced cognitive function due to physical and brain diseases, as well as accelerated brain aging in the absence of manifest brain diseases like dementia. CF in associated with a high risk of adverse events such as dementia, the need for nursing care, hospitalization, disability, and death. It is important to note that CF is reversible and adverse events can be prevented with early detection and intervention. Therefore, research on CF has increased rapidly in various fields in recent years. This Research Topic aims to elucidate the latest advances in the field of basic and clinical research on CF. Specifically, we will focus on areas such as epidemiology, mechanisms, biomarkers, and interventions. |
| bmc public health impact factor: Expanding Perspectives on Open Science: Communities, Cultures and Diversity in Concepts and Practices L. Chan, F. Loizides, 2017-06-20 Twenty-one years ago, the term ‘electronic publishing’ promised all manner of potential that the Web and network technologies could bring to scholarly communication, scientific research and technical innovation. Over the last two decades, tremendous developments have indeed taken place across all of these domains. One of the most important of these has been Open Science; perhaps the most widely discussed topic in research communications today. This book presents the proceedings of Elpub 2017, the 21st edition of the International Conference on Electronic Publishing, held in Limassol, Cyprus, in June 2017. Continuing the tradition of bringing together academics, publishers, lecturers, librarians, developers, entrepreneurs, users and all other stakeholders interested in the issues surrounding electronic publishing, this edition of the conference focuses on Open Science, and the 27 research and practitioner papers and 1 poster included here reflect the results and ideas of researchers and practitioners with diverse backgrounds from all around the world with regard to this important subject. Intended to generate discussion and debate on the potential and limitations of openness, the book addresses the current challenges and opportunities in the ecosystem of Open Science, and explores how to move forward in developing an inclusive system that will work for a much broader range of participants. It will be of interest to all those concerned with electronic publishing, and Open Science in particular. |
