Association of accelerometer-derived "weekend warrior" moderate to vigorous physical activity, chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury.
To examine the relationship between an accelerometer-derived "weekend warrior" pattern, characterized by achieving the most moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) over 1-2 days, as opposed to more evenly distributed patterns, with risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI). ⋯ Concentrated MVPA within 1 to 2 days is as effective as distributed ones in decreasing the risk of renal outcomes.

Latent transition of social participation and its effects on depression among older adults in China: A National Longitudinal Study.
As populations age, the issue of social participation among older adults has gained prominence. Studies indicate variability in social participation trajectories among this demographic, yet the transition patterns and their effects on depression remain unclear. This longitudinal study aims to explore the latent classes and transition patterns in social participation among older adults and to evaluate their effects on depression. ⋯ This research prompts a deep understanding of social participation dynamics in older adults and their effects on depression. Identifying social participation classes and transition patterns could inform interventions to enhance social participation and reduce depression among older adults.

Association between obesity phenotypes and dietary patterns: A two-step cluster analysis based on the China multi-ethnic cohort study.
This study aimed to explore obesity phenotypes and investigate their association with dietary patterns. ⋯ Obesity phenotypes are closely related to metabolic and demographic characteristics, with serum uric acid being a significant factor in categorizing the metabolic states of obesity. The rice-oil-red meat and oil-salt patterns may be related to the metabolic status of individuals with obesity.

Conceptualizing vaccine champions from an implementation science perspective: Findings from a national survey of primary care health professionals.
Clinical champions are healthcare professionals who help their colleagues improve the delivery of evidence-based care. Because little is known about champions working in the context of adolescent vaccination, we sought to identify vaccine champion roles among primary care health professionals (PCHPs). ⋯ Our findings suggest that both implementation leaders and facilitators are common vaccine champions in adolescent primary care. These champions are more often found among PCHPs with higher experience and patient volume.

Age, sex, and pre-arrest comorbidities shape the risk trajectory of sudden cardiac death- Patterns highlighted by population data in Taiwan.
Few reports have indicated the secular trend in the sudden cardiac death (SCD) incidence and pre-arrest comorbidities. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the trend of SCD incidence and its association with pre-arrest comorbidities. ⋯ The incidence of SCD steadily increased in Taiwan from 2011 to 2018. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, psychological disorders, and arthritis were major pre-arrest comorbidities. Age is the most important risk factor for SCD. Further large-scaled population-based study that investigated in diverse ethnicities from countries in addition to Asians would be warranted.
