Unveiling the crisis of the double burden of malnutrition Malnutrition is one of the intractable public health problems that need to be addressed by all nations, and it is intricately linked to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of the key intersections between good nutrition and the SDGs is found in goal 2, which aims to end hunger, achieve...
The effect of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions on the double burden of malnutrition in low-income and middle-income countries: a systematic review There is considerable scope to repurpose existing nutrition interventions to reduce the growing burden of the DBM in LMICs. In settings undergoing rapid nutrition transition, specific policy attention is required to ensure that food-based or supplement-based MCH programmes do not unintentionally inc...
Effects of statin therapy on diagnoses of new-onset diabetes and worsening glycaemia in large-scale randomised blinded statin trials: an individual participant data meta-analysis Statins cause a moderate dose-dependent increase in new diagnoses of diabetes that is consistent with a small upwards shift in glycaemia, with the majority of new diagnoses of diabetes occurring in people with baseline glycaemic markers that are close to the diagnostic threshold for diabetes. Import...
Natural history of depression up to 18 years after stroke: a population-based South London Stroke Register study Long-term depressive status may be established by 5-years post-onset. Early- and late-onset depression presented similar natural history, while severe depression had a longer duration and quicker recurrence than mild depression. These estimates were limited to alive patients completing the depressio...
Group schema therapy combined with psychomotor therapy for older adults with a personality disorder: an open-label, multicentre, randomised controlled trial Psychotherapy focused on personality disorders is effective in later life, resulting in a faster improvement in psychopathology than TAU. Future studies should focus on increasing effectiveness by intensifying or prolonging treatment.
