Dietary habits of the Italian population across the last 30 years: main features and room for improvement
No full textDietary habits and alcohol consumption, jointly, are the behavioural risk factors causing the most DALYs and deaths among Italians. Describing such dietary patterns is crucial for designing effective strategies to reduce mortality. Our aim is to define the “typical Italian diet” and compare it with some “healthy diets” in terms of estimated life expectancy.
We estimated the gender-specific average daily intake of 19 food groups based on ten observational studies reporting consumption data of the Italian population during the last three decades. We updated the Food4HealthyLife predictive model, which estimates the life expectancy of a population based on the reported daily intake of 15 food groups. This model combines age-specific mortality rates with hazard and risk ratios taken from meta-analyses. This allowed to quantify the life expectancy gain associated with switching from typical Italian diet to four diets: F4HL optimal, EAT Lancet, CREA guidelines, and IIS Mediterranean guidelines.
We estimate that switching from typical to F4HL optimal diet for 40-year-old Italian men and women results in a 6.4 and 7.7-year gain in life expectancy, respectively. The largest gains are expected from an increased consumption of whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Switching to EAT Lancet, CREA, and Mediterranean guidelines, would result in a gain between 3.4 and 5.8 years of life expectancy.
In conclusion, the Italian population would significantly benefit from switching towards the four proposed healthy diets. The food groups presenting most room for improvement are grains, legumes, and nuts, while fruit consumption is already close to the desirable intake

No full textPrimary healthcare usage and use of medications among immigrant children according to age of arrival to Norway: A population-based study
No full textBackground: Morbidity, use of healthcare and medication use have been reported to vary across groups of migrants and according to the different phases of migration, but little is known about children with immigrant background. In this study, we investigate whether the immigrant children's age of arrival predicts differences in usage of primary healthcare (PHC) and in use of prescribed medication. Methods: This nationwide, population-based study used information for children under 18 years of age in 2008 from three linked registers in Norway. Use of medication was assessed with logistic regression analyses presented with ORs with 95% CIs. Results: Of 1 168 365 children, 119 251 had immigrant background. The mean number of PHC visits among children aged 10–18 years, was 1.19 for non-immigrants, 1.17 among second generation immigrants, 1.12, 1.05 and 0.83 among first immigrant children who were <5, 5–9 and ≥10 years at arrival in Norway, respectively. Patterns were similar for younger immigrants, and were confirmed with regression models adjusting for age and sex. First generation immigrant children used less of nearly all groups of prescribed medication compared to non-immigrants when adjusting for age and sex (overall OR 0.48 (0.47 to 0.49)), and medication was also generally less used among second generation immigrant children (overall OR 0.92 (0.91 to 0.94)). Conclusions: Age of arrival predicted PHC usage among children among first-generation children. First-generation immigrant children, particularly those arriving later in adolescence, used PHC less than age corresponding non-immigrant children. Immigrant children used less prescribed medication compared to non-immigrants after adjustment for age and sex
Oral health related quality of life and reasons for non-dental attendance among patients with substance use disorders in withdrawal rehabilitation
No full textNo study has assessed the socio-behavioral distribution of oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) among patients with substance use disorders receiving medically assisted rehabilitation therapy (MAR) in Norway.
Objectives
To examine the prevalence of oral impacts on daily performances (OIDP) and its distribution among MAR patients in western Norway. We also examined whether oral impacts discriminate with different reasons for non-dental attendance.
Material and Methods
A cross-sectional study focusing OHRQoL was nested to the INTRO-HCV study and implemented in six rehabilitation clinics for people with substance use disorders. A total of 167 MAR patients completed personal interviews and oral clinical examination upon entering the clinic for their MAR medication.
Results
The prevalence of oral impacts (OIDP > 0) was 61%. Logistic regression, adjusted for sex and age presented with odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) revealed that less than 20 remaining teeth (OR = 5.3 95% CI: 1.6–23.3) and dissatisfaction with dental care (OR = 5.1 95% CI: 1.3–19.0) increased the odds of having OIDP > 0. OIDP > 0 was also associated with insufficient dental follow-up due to dental anxiety and poor experiences with perceived attitudes of dental workers. Means OIDP among people with negative experiences with attitudes of dental care workers were 3.1 (SD 0.8) compared to 1.4 (SD 0.7) among those without negative experiences, and 2.8 (SD) for those with dental anxiety compared to 1.8 (SD) among those without.
Conclusion
OHRQoL among MAR patients was generally poor. To reach those with a need for dental care, modification of the existing rehabilitation approach toward closer collaboration between dental health care workers and others in contact with drug users might be necessary
