  • gestational hypertension in pregnancies supported by infertility treatments role of infertility treatments and multiple gestations
    Fertility and Sterility, 2007
    Co-Authors: Sonia Hernandezdiaz, Martha M Werler, Allen A Mitchell
    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the association between infertility treatments and gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. Design Retrospective observational cohort. Setting General population, United States and Canada. Patient(s) Five thousand one hundred fifty-one women with nonmalformed infants participating in the Slone Epidemiology Center Birth Defects Study between 1998 and 2006. Intervention(s) Women were interviewed within 6 months after delivery about sociodemographic and medical factors, about the onset of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, and about infertility treatments. Main Outcome Measure(s) We estimated relative risks and 95% confidence intervals by using unconditional logistic Regression. Result(s) The incidence of gestational hypertension was 8.9% (423/4,762) among women without infertility treatments and was 15.8% (55/349) among women undergoing infertility treatments. Compared with spontaneous pregnancies, the crude relative risk for gestational hypertension in pregnancies Resulting from infertility treatments was 1.9 (95% confidence interval, 1.4–2.6). Multivariate adjustment for parity and prepregnancy body mass index Resulted in a relative risk of 1.6 (1.1–2.1). Further adjustment for multiple pregnancies, or restriction of the analyses to singleton pregnancies, moved the relative risk to 1.3. Each specific infertility procedure or drug was associated with a similarly elevated risk, which disappeared after adjustment for multiple gestations. Results were similar for preeclampsia. Conclusion(s) Pregnancies Resulting from infertility treatments have a higher incidence of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia than do spontaneous conceptions. This increased risk is largely explained by the higher frequency of multiple gestations.

  • social participation and urban rural disparity in mental health among older adults in china
    Journal of Affective Disorders, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jian Sun, Shoujun Lyu
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective : This study aimed to explore the effect of social participation on disparity in mental health among urban and rural older adults in China. Methods : The data used in this study was sourced from the 2014 wave of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Furthermore, multiple linear Regression model was adopted to analyze the effect of social participation on mental health. Moreover, Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition for linear model was applied to explore the effect of social participation on urban-rural disparity in mental health. Results : The Regression Result indicates that social participation significantly improved cognitive ability and psychological health for urban and rural older adults, and its health effect was significantly stronger for rural older adults. Furthermore, the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition Result reveals that approximately 18% of cognitive ability disparity could be attributed to urban-rural disparity in social participation. Moreover, urban-rural disparity in social participation could explain about 11% of psychological health disparity. Conclusion : Urban older adults had better mental health than their rural counterparts. Furthermore, social participation was beneficial for mental health for urban and rural older adults. Urban-rural disparity in social participation made an important contribution to mental health disparity between urban and rural older adults. The Results of this study emphasized the importance of social participation of older adults.
