The relationship between atherosclerosis and dementia
CONCLUSION: Cognitively impaired individuals, in particular those with vascular cognitive impairment, have poorer quality of life and shorter survival. Risk factors contributing to such impairment are similar to those for ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke. It may be concluded that most of the analysed risk factors play a role in the development of both atherosclerosis and dementia.PMID:38669152 | DOI:10.21101/cejph.a7848 (Source: Central European Journal of Public Health)

Association of cardiovascular health and educational status in a screening cohort
CONCLUSION: Our findings highlight a significant association between lower educational status and poorer cardiovascular health, as assessed by LS7, which persisted even after multivariable adjustment. Additionally, both educational status and LS7 were associated with increased mortality, underscoring the significance of our results. These findings have important implications for public health, as screening and prevention strategies may need to be tailored to meet the diverse educational backgrounds of individuals, given the higher prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle behaviours among those with lower educational status.PMID:3...

Thirteen-year surveillance results of acute flaccid paralysis cases in Southeast Turkey and the effect of refugee movements on surveillance results
CONCLUSION: Although refugee movements appear to may have adverse effects on AFP incidence and surveillance outcomes, larger studies involving the whole country, particularly at places where no refugees settled, are needed to achieve more conclusive evidence.PMID:38669157 | DOI:10.21101/cejph.a7605 (Source: Central European Journal of Public Health)

History of development of undergraduate public health education in Bulgaria
CONCLUSION: Despite the continuous development in the organization of undergraduate PH education in Bulgaria, its content is still not fully compatible with the basic European PH services and actions. There is a growing need for wider standardization and integration of undergraduate PH education in the EU so that the specialty can reach the status of a regulated health profession similar to medicine, nursing, and others.PMID:38669158 | DOI:10.21101/cejph.a7928 (Source: Central European Journal of Public Health)

Compulsory vaccination of children - medical and legal problems
This article looks at different approaches to the vaccination of children in different countries. It provides an illustrative comparison of approaches to vaccination of children in selected countries. It is obvious that the essential problems with organizing and ensuring the vaccination of children are and will be associated with the indicated conflicts of fundamental human rights. It is therefore necessary to search and try to find the optimal policy for undergoing the necessary vaccinations and thereby creating herd immunity, of course for those infectious diseases where this is possible. These efforts are necessary for ...

Health status in selected post-communist European countries: a comparative study between Poland and Albania
CONCLUSIONS: This analysis provides useful information about the current health status of two populations pertinent to the former Communist Bloc in CEE. While health indicators can provide important information about the differences in health status between populations, it is important to interpret these indicators in the context of the specific challenges and limitations facing each country.PMID:38669160 | DOI:10.21101/cejph.a7804 (Source: Central European Journal of Public Health)
