By 2025, adult obesity prevalence is projected to increase in 44 of 53 of European-region countries. Childhood obesity tracks directly onto adult obesity, and children of low socioeconomic position families are at disproportionately higher risk of being obese compared with their more affluent peers. A previous review of research from developed countries identified factors mediating this relationship. This systematic review updates and extends those findings specifically within the context of Ireland and the United Kingdom. The aim of this systematic review is to summarise peer-reviewed research completed in Ireland and the United Kingdom between 2011–2021 examining mediators of socioeconomic differentials in adiposity outcomes for youth. An electronic search of four databases, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and EBSCOhost was conducted. Quantitative studies, published in the English language, examining mediators of socioeconomic differentials in adiposity outcomes in youth, ....
Hearing loss is a common sensory deficit in humans with intricate genomic landscape and mutational signature. Approximately 1 - 3 out of 1,000 newborns have hearing loss and up to 60% of these cases have a genetic etiology. In this study, we conducted the concurrent newborn hearing and genetic screening in 20 mutations in GJB2, GJB3, SLC26A4 and MT-RNR1 for 9,506 normal newborns (4,977 [52.4%] males) from 22 ethnic population in South China. A total of 1,079 (11.4%) newborns failed to pass the initial hearing screening, 160 (23.9%) infants failed to pass the re-screening, and 128 (1.4%) infants presented the diagnostic hearing loss. For the genetic screening, 220 (2.3%) newborns presented at least one of the screened mutations were more likely to fail the hearing screening and have diagnostic hearing loss than mutation negative newborns. In comparison of the differences of distribution of mutations, we did not identify any significant difference in the prevalence of screened mutations ....
