SUMMARYYoung children account for a large proportion of reported Yersinia enterocolitica infections in Sweden with a high incidence compared with other gastrointestinal infections, such as salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis. A case-control study was conducted to investigate selected risk factors for domestic sporadic yersiniosis in children aged 0–6 years in Sweden. In total, 117 cases and 339 controls were included in the study. To minimize exclusion of observations due to missing data a multiple non-parametric imputation technique was used. The following risk factors were identified in the multivariate analysis: eating food prepared from raw pork products (OR 3·0, 95% CI 1·8–5·1) or treated sausage (OR 1·9, 95% CI 1·1–3·3), use of a baby's dummy (OR 1·9, 95% CI 1·1–3·2) and contact with domestic animals (OR 2·0, 95% CI 1·2–3·4). We believe that the importance of Y. enterocolitica infection in children has been neglected and that results from this study can be used to develop preventive recommendations.

Background/Aims The aim of the study was to investigate the socioeconomic and clinical risk factors for hip fracture among a community-dwelling elderly population in Greece. It also aimed to identify characteristics associated with reducing mobility. Methods A case-control study was conducted on 202 patients who had a hip fracture and on 202 other members of the elderly population who did not have a hip fracture as the control group. Results In the multivariate analysis, the variables related to an increased risk of hip fracture were: gender (odds ration [OR]=10.88; 95%confidence Interval [CI]=2.28–51.98), income (OR=32.50; 95%CI=2.96–356.43), income adequacy (OR=129,34; 95%CI=7,09–2360,88), inability to pay expenses/medication (OR=0.02; 95%CI=0.003–0.09), depression (OR=0.03; 95%CI=0.002–0.35), multimorbidity (OR=0.01; 95%CI=0.001–0.97), number of medication (OR=0.02; 95%CI=0.001–0.28) and history of falls (OR=0.08; 95%CI=0.01–0.40). Factors related to deterioration of mobility were: age (OR=28.43; 95%CI:5.45–148.32), dementia (OR=15.60; 95%CI:1.80–135.27), walking ability (OR=0.20; 95%CI:0.07–0.56), balance (OR=9.10; 95%CI:1.89–43.75), use of walking aid (OR=7.42; 95%CI:2.70–20.39), and length of hospitalisation (OR=3.01; 95%CI:1.27–7.14). Conclusions Socioeconomic and clinical factors that lead to an increased risk of hip fracture were identified, as well as factors affecting post-operative functional ability that could guide prevention programmes.
