Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

12.2K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

4.3K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

15.6K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

517
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Coronary Artery Disease I: Introduction

46
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): An Overview with Scientific InsightsCoronary Artery Disease (CAD), often referred to as C-A-D, is a prevalent blood vessel disorder classified under the broader category of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a pathological process characterized by the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques. These plaques are composed of cholesterol, fatty substances, inflammatory cells, calcium, and fibrin, reducing blood flow to...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

169
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • COVID-19 presents with varied respiratory symptoms globally.
  • Existing reviews often overlook environmental and socioeconomic risk factors for COVID-19.
  • A comprehensive understanding of all risk factors is crucial for effective public health strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and characterize diverse risk factors influencing COVID-19 contagion from published literature.
  • To identify gaps in current research regarding non-medical COVID-19 risk factors.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic mapping of studies sourced from the Scopus database.
  • Analysis of research findings to identify prevalent risk factors.
  • Categorization of studies based on research type and context.

Main Results:

  • The majority of studies focus on medical conditions as COVID-19 risk factors.
  • Research exploring environmental, sociodemographic, and socioeconomic factors remains limited.
  • A clear map of existing research on COVID-19 risk factors is presented.

Conclusions:

  • Established medical conditions (diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension) and demographic factors (age, sex) significantly increase COVID-19 risk.
  • There is a critical need for expanded research into environmental, sociodemographic, and socioeconomic determinants of COVID-19 susceptibility.
  • Future studies should address these under-researched areas to inform comprehensive prevention and control measures.
