To promote early detection of diabetes and ameliorate the negative consequences of diabetes, some governments provide diabetes screenings. This paper contributes to the literature by being the first to investigate whether an issued warning affects the individual's employment status....

Evidence on how digital technologies, such as online health information platforms, affect the doctorpatient relationship in general, and the diagnosis and treatment of patients in particular, is still limited. In this study, we explore the effects of alternative information from an online source...

Cognitive misperception contributed to poor decision-making; yet their impact on health-related decisions is less known. We examined how self-perceived memory was associated with chronic disease awareness among older Chinese adults. Data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement...

While there is a growing literature on family health spillovers, questions remain about how sibling disability status impacts educational outcomes. As disability is not randomly assigned this is an empirical challenge. In this paper we use Danish administrative data and variation in the onset of...

We estimate effects of a health check-up on non-communicable disease (NCD) diagnosis and management among Chinese adults aged 50 and older. Using five waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) spanning a period of 9 years and a fixed-effect instrumental variable (IV)...

We estimate the difference in direct healthcare costs of individuals diagnosed with diabetes depending on their glucose level, considering different timespans and subgroups. Using data from administrative registers of 285,450 individuals in Catalonia from 2013 to 2017, we used a fuzzy regression...

We estimate effects of a health check-up on non-communicable disease (NCD) diagnosis and management among Chinese adults aged 50 and older. Using five waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) spanning a period of 9 years and a fixed-effect instrumental variable (IV)...

This study investigates lifetime socioeconomic health disparities through longitudinal biomarkers from the Dutch Lifelines cohort study and biobank. We construct an allostatic load index from 12 biomarkers and analyze the dynamics of health and its association with socioeconomic status (SES)...

The rapid development of AI solutions reveals opportunities to address the underdiagnosis and poor management of chronic conditions in developing settings. Using the method of simulated patients and experimental designs, we evaluate the quality, safety, and disparity of medical consultation with...

We assess whether social media - in particular Facebook - can serve as an efficient and costeffective instrument to increase type 2 diabetes awareness and encourage risk screening activities in Indonesia, where - as in the rest of Southeast Asia - the prevalence of the disease and with it the...

Estimates from confidence intervals are more powerful than point estimates, because there are intervals for parameter values used to estimate populations. In relation to global conditions, involving issues such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, it is very difficult to make estimations limited to one...

There is sparse evidence on the impact of health information on mental health as well as on the mechanisms governing this relationship. We estimate the causal impact of health information on mental health via the effect of a diabetes diagnosis on depression. We employ a fuzzy regression...

This research explores the persistent effect of the Neolithic Revolution on the evolution of life expectancy in the course of human history. It advances the hypothesis and establishes empirically that the onset of the Neolithic Revolution and the associated rise in infectious diseases triggered...

Objective Studies that examine the broad allocation of resources, regardless of who bears the costs, should ide‑ ally estimate costs from a societal perspective. We have successfully integrated survival rates, employment ratios, and earnings to address the significant challenge of evaluating...

Background To estimate the long-term cost-effectiveness of once-weekly semaglutide versus sitagliptin as an add-on therapy for type 2 diabetes patients inadequately controlled on metformin in China, to better inform healthcare decision making. Methods The Cardiff diabetes model which is a Monte...

Introduction In 2022, updated guidance from NICE expanded the options for self-monitoring of blood glucose for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), to include continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). In this budget impact analysis, the cost impact of CGM was compared with traditional...

Introduction This study comprehensively investigates the changes in healthcare utilization among chronic patients with regular outpatient visits to hospitals after the occurrence of Covid-19. The research examines whether patients altered their originally regular medical attendance frequencies...

Background Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management exerts a considerable financial burden on patients, caregivers, and developing nations at large. In Ghana, a key governments effort to attenuate the financial burden of T1D on patients was to fashion safety-net mechanisms through financial risk...

The purpose of the report is to provide information on access to diabetes mellitus treatment in Bangladesh. This information is relevant to the application of international protection status determination (refugee status and subsidiary protection) and migration legislation in EU+ countries.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are increasingly placing significant health and economic burdens on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Primary care serves as the initial point of contact for individuals seeking medical assistance and plays a pivotal role in promoting health, preventing...
