Exploring the Impact of Mental Health on PSA Screening: Insights From a Population-Based Survey.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between mental health status and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening, given that poor mental health may reduce engagement in preventive health behaviors. METHODS: We analyzed data from the 2018 and 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys, including men aged 50-69 years without history of prostate cancer. The primary outcome was self-reported PSA screening in the past two years. Poor mental health was defined as at least 14 days of self-reported poor mental health or a depressive disorder diagnosis. Covariates included socio-demograp

Leveraging multigenerational health data to enhance mental disorder risk prediction: a population-based cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Mental disorders are highly prevalent, and comorbidities between physical and mental health conditions are common. Physical comorbidities and family health histories may improve the accuracy of mental disorder risk prediction. We developed prediction models for mental disorder risk using comprehensive individual and family mental and physical health histories. METHODS: We conducted a population-based cohort study using administrative Health data in Manitoba, Canada, and included adults between 1977 and 2020 with linkages to at least one parent and one grandparent.

Dynamic conversion and associated risk factors between mutually exclusive muscle health states in geriatric population.

BACKGROUND: The loss of muscle mass plus a decrease in muscle function is composed of sarcopenia. Before entering this muscle health status, individuals experience either low muscle quantity or poor muscle quality. The natural course of the dynamic transition to sarcopenia from robust through these two mutually exclusive muscle health statuses is presently unclear. METHODS: Adults aged 65 years and older living in the community and who received annual health examinations, including muscle function, body composition and other measurements, were enrolled. Participants with normal muscle mass an

Vitamin B12 status and metabolic health in women of reproductive age: Population-based biomarker survey.
