The present longitudinal study aims to investigate the risk factors for getting COVID-19 in a population aged 50 to 74 years. Data were collected from Shahroud Eye Cohort Study and the electronic system of COVID-19 in Shahroud, northeast Iran. Participants were followed for about 13 months and predisposing factors for COVID-19 infection were investigated using log binomial model and by calculation of relative risks. From the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in Shahroud (February 20, 2020) to March 26, 2021, out of 4394 participants in the Eye Cohort Study, 271 (6.1%) were diagnosed with COVID-19 with a positive Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction test on two nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs. Risk factors for getting COVID-19 were included male gender (Relative Risk (RR) = 1.51; 95% Confidence Intervals (CI), 1.15-1.99), BMI over 25 (RR = 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05) and diabetes (RR = 1.31; 95% CI, 1.02-1.67). Also, smoking (RR = 0.51; 95% CI, 0.28-0.93) and education (RR = 0.95; 95% CI, 0.92-0.98) had reverse associations. In conclusion men and diabetic patients and those who have BMI over 25, should be more alert to follow the health protocols related to COVID-19 and priority should be given to them considering COVID-19 vaccination.

Abstract Background This nationwide population-based study sought to investigate the risk of spine and hip fracture in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Methods Using the 2007–2016 data from the Korean national health insurance claims database, we calculated incidence rate and incidence rate ratios (IRR) of spine and hip fracture in patients with IBD (n = 18,228; 64.1% male, 65.9% ulcerative colitis [UC]) compared with age- and sex- frequency matched subjects in 1:10 ratio (n = 186,871). A Cox regression model was used to evaluate risk of spine and hip fracture. Results The incidence rate and IRR of spine and hip fracture in IBD were 2.88/1000 person-years and 1.21 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11–1.31) during the median follow-up of 4.5 years. The risk for spine and hip fracture was significantly higher in UC (IRR 1.39, 95% CI, 1.25- 1.54), whereas it was not significantly higher in Crohn’s disease (IRR 0.85, 95% CI, 0.67- 1.06) than matched controls. In UC, the IRR of spine fracture was 1.41 (95% CI, 1.24–1.58) and the IRR of hip fracture was 1.40 (95% CI, 1.11–1.71). In multivariable analysis using the Cox regression model, the risk of spine and hip fracture increased with age (p trend < 0.001), in female patients (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.94; 95% CI, 1.50–2.51) and in patients with comorbidities including osteoporosis (aHR 2.86; 95% CI, 2.10–3.89), stroke (aHR 2.74; 95% CI, 1.78–4.21) hypertension (aHR 1.82; 95% CI, 1.38–2.41), diabetes mellitus (aHR 1.67; 95% CI, 1.25–2.24) and dyslipidaemia (aHR 1.36; 95% CI, 1.05–1.78). Conclusion In a population-based study from Korea, we found that the risk for spine and hip fracture increased in patients with IBD, especially in UC patients. Also, this risk increased in patients who are older, female, or have comorbidities.
