The overweight epidemic increasingly hits children of lower educated parents in Belgium
Since the BMI (kg/m²) in children is instable, age/sex-specific cutoff points are used to estimate the weighted prevalence (95% confidence interval) of self-reported overweight (including obesity), by SES ...
A proposal for further developing fatigue-related post COVID-19 health states for burden of disease studies
M Pires Source: Arch Public Health, Volume 81, Issue 1 (2023) Keywords: Disability weight Disability-adjusted life year European burden of disease network Fatigue long COVID Post COVID-19 condition Years ...
Microbial quality analysis of falsified medicines seized by controling agencies
and weight loss aids. One of the driving forces behind the demand for these substandard and falsified products is their affordability, accessibility, and lack of prescription requirement, thereby ...
Multidimensional chromatographic fingerprinting combined with chemometrics for the identification of regulated plants in suspicious plant food supplements
commonly encountered in PFS claiming weight-loss as indication. However, PFS usually are composed of mixtures of different plants resulting into a not so straightforward approach for their detection. In ...
Data collection in pandemic times: the case of the Belgian COVID-19 health surveys
least 5 surveys. There were, however, sex, age, educational level and regional differences in participation. Post-stratification weighting on socio-demographic factors was applied to at least partly take ...
Potential impact fractions of body mass index reductions on the non-communicable disease burden in Belgium using G-computation
with overweight was reduced by one unit. In the third and fourth scenarios, the BMI of people with overweight was modified based on a weight loss of 5 and 10%, respectively. Results: Under the four ...
Evolution of patient characteristics and outcomes concerning diabetic foot ulcer care in Belgium between 2008 and 2020
characteristics were recorded at baseline together with treatment and outcome during a 6-month follow-up period. A neutral weighting was applied to all variables. Evolution over time was studied in a repeated ...
Integration of various dimensions in food-based dietary guidelines via mathematical approaches: report of a DGE/FENS Workshop in Bonn, Germany, 23–24 September 2019Abstract
and weights for different dimensions are set and the challenge to compile diverse data that suit the demands of optimisation models. We also found that individualisation via mathematical optimisation is ...
Using random-forest multiple imputation to address bias of self-reported anthropometric measures, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in the Belgian health interview survey
height, weight, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia and to identify an adequate approach for valid measurement error correction. METHODS: Nine thousand four hundred thirty-nine participants of the 2018 ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
must be able to isolate pure high molecular weight (HMW) DNA from complex metagenomics samples, without introducing any bias. New methods released on the market, and protocols developed at the research ...
