HPV vaccination among young adults in Switzerland: a cross-sectional study

BMJ Open (2025)

Samia El-Hadad Maike Sachs Yara Barrense‐Dias José Casaña Angela Niggli

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination status among a representative sample of young adults (YAs) with a special focus on the catch-up vaccination uptake among the male population in Switzerland. Design and setting Data were extracted from an online self-administered questionnaire survey, conducted as a representative cross-sectional study in 2017. To understand correlations between vaccination uptake and sociodemographic characteristics, sexual health, and sexual behaviour, we performed bivariate analysis and multivariate regression analysis. Participants Out of a total of 7142 participants, 2155 female and 996 male cisgender participants remained for statistical evaluation after excluding homosexual/bisexual study participants, those with gender dysphoria or those without knowledge of their vaccination status. Outcomes The primary outcome of this study was to investigate HPV vaccination rates among female and male YAs in Switzerland. As secondary outcomes, we assessed uptake of catch-up vaccination and identified key factors influencing HPV vaccination uptake. Results Vaccination rates were significantly higher in the female group (40.9%), while not wanting to be vaccinated and doubting benefits and necessity of the vaccine were main reasons for non-vaccination. Vaccination coverage among male YAs was very low (7.8%), primarily due to insufficient information. Parents not being Swiss-born, a higher family socioeconomic status and having had a gynaecological visit at a younger age correlated with HPV vaccination uptake for female YAs. In the male group, participants with a higher number of lifetime partners and a younger age at first steady partnership were more likely to report a positive vaccination status. Knowledge about the benefits of catch-up vaccination was very limited among both genders. Conclusions The lack of knowledge about benefits of HPV vaccination contributes to low vaccine uptake, especially occurring among the male population, must be addressed. Given the number of people who reported not knowing whether they were vaccinated or not, it is crucial to ensure that there is a thorough discussion about HPV and the protection the vaccine provides when presenting for vaccination.

Quality Analysis of YouTube Videos Presenting Shoulder Exercises after Breast Cancer Surgery

Breast Care (2021)

Alvaro Manuel Rodriguez-Rodriguez María Blanco‐Díaz Pedro Lopez Diaz Marta De la Fuente-Costa Lirios Dueñas

The prolonged immobilization suggested after breast cancer (BC) surgery causes morbidity. Patients search the Internet, especially social networks, for recommended exercises.The aim of this observational study was to assess the quality of YouTube videos, accessible for any patient, about exercises after BC surgery.A systematic search was performed on YouTube. One hundred and fifty videos were selected and analyzed. Two statistical analyses were conducted based on machine-learning techniques. Videos were classified as "Relevant" and "Non-Relevant" using principal component analysis models. Popularity was evaluated by Video Power Index (VPI), informational quality and accuracy were measured using the DISCERN Scale and Global Quality Scale (GQS). Scoring criteria for exercises were established according to the exercises recommended by the Oncology Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Interobserver agreement and individual correlations were statistically examined.DISCERN scored a mean of 50.97 (standard deviation [SD] 19.19). HONcode scored 78.30 (11.02) and GQS scored 3.49 (0.74). Average number of views was 53,963 (SD 67,376), mean duration was 9:42 min (9:15), mean days online was 2,158 (922), mean view ratio was 27.14 (30.24), mean likes was 245 (320.5), mean dislikes was 13.4 (14.2), and mean VPI was 93.48 (5.42).The quality of YouTube videos of recommended exercises post-BC surgery is high and can be a translational activity to improve patients' behavior. Health institutions and NGOs, with higher popularity levels than academic institutions, should consider this information when implementing new policies focused on video quality which can contribute to adaptive behavior in patients.

Effect of a common exercise programme with an individualised progression criterion based on the measurement of neuromuscular capacity versus current best practice for lower limb tendinopathies (MaLaGa trial): a protocol for a randomised clinical trial

BMJ Open (2021)

Adrián Escriche-Escuder Antonio Cuesta‐Vargas José Casaña

Introduction High-load resistance training has shown positive effects in pain and function in lower limb tendinopathies. However, some authors suggest that current exercise programmes produce an increase in tolerance to load and exercise in general but without fixing some existing issues in tendinopathy. This may indicate the need to include training aspects not currently taken into account in the current programmes. The main objective of this study will be to compare the effect of a common exercise protocol for the three predominant lower limb tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar and gluteal), based on an individualised control of the dose and training of specific aspects of the neuromuscular system versus the current best practice for each location. Methods and analysis This study will be conducted among people with mid-portion Achilles, patellar or gluteal tendinopathy. The participants allocated to the experimental group will perform a 14-week innovative common therapeutic exercise programme. Participants allocated to the control group will carry out a 14-week exercise programme based on the best current practice for each of the studied locations. The Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment questionnaire will be considered the primary outcome. Pain, central sensitisation, fear avoidance behaviour, quality of life, treatment satisfaction, lower-limb strength and function, and high-density electromyography profile will be evaluated as secondary outcomes. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 7 weeks, after the intervention (week 14), 26 weeks and 52 weeks. Ethics and dissemination The study has been approved by the Portal de Ética de la Investigación Biomédica de Andalucía Ethics Committee (1221-N-19). All participants will be informed about the purpose and content of the study and written informed consent will be completed. The results of this study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and will be disseminated electronically and in print. Trial registration number NCT03853122 ; Pre-results.

Longitudinal association of handgrip strength with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in older adults using a causal framework

Experimental Gerontology (2022)

Rubén López‐Bueno Lars L. Andersen Joaquín Calatayud José Casaña Lee Smith

To date, there is no study addressing the time-varying confounding bias in the association of handgrip strength (HGS) with all-cause or cardiovascular mortality. Therefore, we conducted marginal structural models (MSM) to provide causal estimations on the associations of HGS with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a representative sample of adults aged 50 years or older. Data from 29 countries including 121,116 participants (276,994 observations; mean age 63.7 years; 56.3 % women) free from prior heart attack or stroke were retrieved from consecutive waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). During a median of 7.7 years follow-up (interquartile range 3.8–11.8) and 1,009,862 person-years, 6407 participants (5.3 %) died due to all causes, and 2263 (1.9 %) died due to cardiovascular diseases. Using repeated measures of handheld dynamometry, we determined absolute and relative to body mass index HGS of each participant. We applied adjusted MSM to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) associated with changes over time in HGS addressing the time-varying confounding bias. An increase of 5 kg in HGS was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause [HR 0.86, 95 % confidence interval (CI), 0.86–0.90], overall cardiovascular (HR 0.86, 95 % CI 0.82–0.86), heart attack (HR 0.90, 95 % CI 0.86–0.95), and stroke (HR 0.86, 95 % CI 0.82–0.90) mortality. The associations of relative HGS were of stronger magnitude in all cases. Our findings provide critical evidence on the importance of increasing general muscle strength in older adults to reduce mortality risk, particularly concerning cardiovascular causes.

Association of occupational physical activity and disability pension in 756,159 Spanish workers: A prospective cohort study with 13 years follow-up

Preventive Medicine (2022)

Rubén López‐Bueno Lars L. Andersen Joaquín Calatayud José Casaña Begoña Martínez‐Jarreta

Recent research from Nordic countries identified occupational physical activity (OPA) as a risk factor for disability pension, but further research accounting for exhaustive analyses in novel populations is warranted. Our objective was to assess the association between OPA and disability pension using administrative data. This prospective registry-based cohort study used data from the Spanish Continuous Working Life Sample (CWLS). Participants were followed up from baseline (January 1, 2006) to first event of disability pension, mortality, or end of follow-up (September 1, 2019). The assessment of OPA was based on registers of economic activity and their correspondence with a validated OPA index. To examine the association between OPA and disability pension, adjusted proportional hazard, and Fine-Gray models using mortality as competing risk were conducted. We retrieved data from 756,159 workers (57.7% men) with an average age of 38.5 years (SD 11.9). During 13.6 years from baseline to the end of follow-up (9,463,041 person-years), 18,191 men (4.2%) and 9631 (3.0%) women received a disability pension. In the fully adjusted model, participants exposed to higher levels of OPA showed higher risk for disability pension in an exposure-response fashion. Men and women exposed to very high OPA showed the highest HR for disability pension (2.31 [95% CI, 2.17 to 2.46] and 1.68 [95% CI, 1.56 to 1.81], respectively. These results warrant preventative measures to address early involuntary exit from the labour market in workers exposed to high physical work demands.

The assessment of OPA was based on registers of economic activity and their correspondence with a validated OPA index. To examine the association between OPA and disability pension, adjusted proportional hazard, and restrictive cubic spline models using mortality as competing risk were conducted.We retrieved data from 756 159 workers (57.7% men aged 38.5 years (SD 11.9). During 13.6 years from baseline to the end of follow-up (9 463 041 person-years), 18 191 men (4.2%) and 9 631 (3.0%) women received a disability pension. In the fully adjusted model, participants exposed to higher levels of OPA showed higher risk for disability pension in a dose response fashion. Men and women exposed to very high OPA showed the highest HR for disability pension (2.31 [95% CI, 2.17 to 2.46] and 1.68 [95% CI, 1.56 to 1.81], respectively.

Safety, Fear and Neuromuscular Responses after a Resisted Knee Extension Performed to Failure in Patients with Severe Haemophilia

Journal of Clinical Medicine (2021)

Joaquín Calatayud Jonathan Martín-Cuesta Juan J. Carrasco Sofía Pérez‐Alenda Carlos Cruz‐Montecinos

Background: low–moderate intensity strength training to failure increases strength and muscle hypertrophy in healthy people. However, no study assessed the safety and neuromuscular response of training to failure in people with severe haemophilia (PWH). The purpose of the study was to analyse neuromuscular responses, fear of movement, and possible adverse effects in PWH, after knee extensions to failure. Methods: twelve severe PWH in prophylactic treatment performed knee extensions until failure at an intensity of five on the Borg CR10 scale. Normalised values of amplitude (nRMS) and neuromuscular fatigue were determined using surface electromyography for the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis. After the exercise, participants were asked about their perceived change in fear of movement, and to report any possible adverse effects. Results: Patients reported no adverse effects or increased fear. The nRMS was maximal for all the muscles before failure, the median frequency decreased, and wavelet index increased during the repetitions. The vastus lateralis demonstrated a higher maximum nRMS threshold and earlier fatigue, albeit with a lower and more progressive overall fatigue. Conclusions: severe PWH with adequate prophylactic treatment can perform knee extensions to task failure using a moderate intensity, without increasing fear of movement, or adverse effects.
