This controlled before-and-after trial in Maputo, Mozambique, found no significant evidence that a shared onsite sanitation intervention improved child nutritional status, specifically stunting or underweight, over a 24-month period.
This study demonstrates that among patients with established dementia, receiving the recombinant zoster vaccine (Shingrix) is associated with significantly reduced all-cause mortality and slower cognitive decline compared to receiving other vaccines.
This paper introduces CausTab, a gradient variance regularization framework that overcomes the failure of Invariant Risk Minimization (IRM) on tabular data by effectively penalizing spurious correlations, outperforming both IRM and standard Empirical Risk Minimization while providing a new diagnostic tool to determine when invariant learning is necessary.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of detecting vaccine-derived measles virus RNA in wastewater using both composite and passive sampling methods in Brisbane, Australia, highlighting the potential of wastewater surveillance to enhance global measles outbreak preparedness and response.
This paper presents the development and pilot testing of the Spatial Intersectionality Health Framework (SIHF) and the IGEMA methodology, which integrate GPS tracking, ecological momentary assessment, and qualitative interviews to empirically demonstrate how layered, positional, and conditional spatial mechanisms drive intersectional health inequities among young sexual and gender minorities of color.
This study validates a multidomain intrinsic capacity score derived from over 500,000 UK Biobank participants as a clinically meaningful, longitudinal predictor of diverse health trajectories, disease vulnerability, and mortality, while identifying specific domain-disease associations and blood-based biomarkers that facilitate large-scale monitoring of aging-related functional decline.
By fitting stochastic dynamical models to respiratory disease data from Ho Chi Minh City, this study reveals that weak external drivers like humidity, temperature, and school terms, combined with stochasticity, explain the observed irregular and noisy seasonality of tropical respiratory diseases.
Using a matched pseudo-cohort analysis of the 2024 Zambia Demographic and Health Survey, this study found that medical male circumcision was not associated with increased sexual risk behaviors, thereby supporting the behavioral safety of the intervention and demonstrating the value of adapting cross-sectional data to address temporal challenges.
Using data from the 1958 National Child Development Study, this paper finds that despite post-war educational expansion and working-life social mobility, social class of origin continues to significantly influence long-term episodic memory in early old age, particularly among men.
This UK Biobank study demonstrates that a comprehensive five-domain behavioral exposome derived from accelerometry—encompassing movement volume, inactivity fragmentation, and circadian rhythms—is significantly associated with incident solid cancer risk, with nocturnal light exposure showing a specific novel link to pancreatic cancer.
