Validity of the Self Reporting Questionnaire-20 for Depression Based on National Health Survey

Abstract Background: Adequate data is required to assess the validity of mental emotional disorder for depression based on Indonesia Basic Health Research. The purpose of this study is to assess the validity of mental-emotional disorder using Self Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20) to the depression evaluated through the means of a MINI (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview) questionnaire. Methods: The data were obtained from a total sample of 555,066 subjects analyzed from the National Health Survey (NHS) in 2018. These subjects were at least 15 years old with their mental-emotional disorders and depression assessed by using the SRQ and MINI, respectively. This study used the calculation of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, positive and negative likelihood ratio, ROC (receiver operating characteristic), kappa Brennan, and Prediger with the STATA statistical program version 15.00 to analyzed the data. Results: The cut-off point in each group was different, ranging from 4 and 6 that almost all of the Area Under Curve (AUC) values were above 0.90 and the SRQ agreement with MINI depression are good because they all have values above 0.80. Conclusion: The results obtained are used as material to predict the rate of depression in Indonesian residents aged ≥ 15 years.

Substantial Decline

The prevalence of smoking in Italian males and females has been investigated using data from the National Health Survey (first cycle), collected between January and March 1994, and based on a total sample of 13,048 individuals (6,307 males and 6,741 females) representative of the general Italian population. Overall, 24.2% of Italians aged 15 years or over described themselves as current smokers (32.6% of males and 16.3% of females). Ex-smokers were 14.2%, including 22.3% of males and 6.6% of females; never smokers were 61.6% (45.1% of males, 77.1% of females). In both sexes, the highest proportions of smokers were young to middle-aged (35-44 years), and there was a substantial decline in smoking rates in the youngest age group (15-24 years), to reach 19.8% of males and 9.9% of females. A steady and substantial decline in reported smoking prevalence over time was observed in males (from 54.2% in 1980 to 32.6% in 1994), whereas smoking prevalence remained approximately stable around 17% in females. This was due to some increase in smoking prevalence among women over 35 years of age, following a cohort effect, and the low quit rate among females. The average number of cigarettes per smoker per day was slightly up, to reach 18.3 in males and 13.4 in females in 1994. The fall in reported cigarette consumption was only partly reflected in legal sale data, which showed for 1993 a consumption of 1.86 kg per adult per year, corresponding to 5.1 cigarettes per day. Taking into account also smuggling, this indicates that interview-based figures were underestimated by at least 25%. In males, but not in females, smoking was less frequent in northern and more developed areas of the country and among more educated individuals. Among Italians with a university degree, smoking rates were for the first time higher in females (31.5%) than in males (23.7%). Thus, the data from the 1994 National Health Survey confirm the long-term decline in smoking prevalence among Italian males, in the absence however of appreciable changes in females.

Basic Standards

ABC (glucose, blood pressure and LDL-cholesterol) goals are basic standards of diabetes care. We aimed to assess ABC control and related factors in a representative sample of Brazilian adults with diabetes. We analyzed 465 adults with known diabetes in the Brazilian National Health Survey. The targets used were <7% for glycated hemoglobin (A1C); <140/90 mmHg for blood pressure; and <100 mg/dL for LDL-C, with stricter targets for the latter two for those with high cardiovascular (CVD) risk. Individual goals were attained by 46% (95% CI, 40.3–51.6%) for A1C, 51.4% (95% CI, 45.7–57.1%) for blood pressure, and 40% (95% CI, 34.5–45.6%) for LDL-C. The achievement of all three goals was attained by 12.5% (95% CI, 8.9–16.2%). Those with high CVD risk attained blood pressure and LDL-C goals less frequently. A1C control improved with increasing age and worsened with greater duration of diabetes. Achievement of at least two ABC goals decreased with increasing BMI and greater duration of diabetes. In sum, about half of those with known diabetes achieved each ABC goal and only a small fraction achieved all three goals. Better access and adherence to treatment and strategies to personalize goals according to specific priorities are of the essence.

Background. Many studies have shown a relationship between physical functioning and health status in older people. Aim. The purpose of this study was to analyze the temporal trends of physical activity (PA), ability to walk, weight status, self-perceived health, and disease or chronic health problems in people over 65 years from 2009 to 2017, using the European Health Survey in Spain and the National Health Survey in Spain. Methods. This study included 13,049 older people: 6026 (2330 men and 3696 women; age (mean, SD (Standard Deviation)) = 75.61 ± 7.11 years old) in 2009 and 7023 (2850 men and 4173 women; age (mean, SD) = 76.01 ± 7.57 years old) in 2017. Results. In 2017, older people exhibited lower values of moderate PA (p < 0.001), a lower number of hours of walking per week (p < 0.001), and worse self-perceived health status (p < 0.001) compared to 2009. These differences are maintained when comparing the sexes. Compliance with PA recommendations was 27.9% and 6.1% (chi-squared = 352.991, p < 0.001) in 2009 and 2017, respectively. There were no significant differences in weight status between older people in 2009 and 2017. In 2017, older people had significantly high percentages of disease or chronic health problems (p < 0.05), number of diseases (p < 0.001), severe difficulty walking 500 m without assistance (p < 0.05), and severe difficulty going up or down 12 stairs. Conclusions. From 2009 to 2017, Spanish older people worsened their PA levels and perception of their health status, and they increased their disease levels, which could be associated with the worsening of ability to walk in 2017.

Use Of Health Services

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To assess whether sex, education level, and health insurance affect the use of health services among the adult Brazilian population with chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCD). METHODS Data from a cross-sectional survey were analyzed, the National Health Survey (PNS). Frequency of use of services in the population that referred at least one NCD were compared with the frequency from a population that did not report NCD, according to sex, education level, health insurance, and NCD number (1, 2, 3, 4, or more). The prevalence and prevalence ratios were calculated crude and adjusted for sex, age, region, and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS The presence of a noncommunicable disease was associated with increase in hospitalizations in the last 12 months, in 1.7 times (95%CI 1.53–1.9). Failing to perform usual activities in the last two weeks for health reasons was 3.1 times higher in NCD carriers (95%CI 2.78–3.46); while the prevalence of medical consultation in the last 12 months was 1.26 times higher (95%CI 1.24–1.28). NCD carriers make more use of health services, as well as women, people with higher number of comorbidities, with health insurance, and higher education level. CONCLUSIONS NCD carriers make more use of health services, as well as women, people with higher number of comorbidities, with health insurance, and higher education level.
