Observational Study
Gait Speed and Cardiovascular Disease by Glycemic Status.
The aim of this study was to clarify whether the association of gait speed with the incidence of cardiovascular disease depends on baseline glycemic status. ⋯ The relationship of subjective gait speed with the risk of cardiovascular disease was amplified in individuals with prediabetes or diabetes mellitus, suggesting that maintaining exercise capacity could be more important in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance for preventing cardiovascular disease.

Authors aimed to evaluate the economic and health impacts of three influenza vaccines available in China, including trivalent inactivated vaccine, quadrivalent inactivated vaccine, and live attenuated influenza vaccine, for children aged six months to 18 years. ⋯ Trivalent inactivated vaccine was cost-effective compared with no vaccination in children aged six months to 18 years. Of the three vaccination strategies for children aged 3-18 months, quadrivalent inactivated vaccine appears to be the most cost-effective.
