Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the severity of the mandibular inferior cortex (MIC) porosity and the number of remaining teeth in elderly Indonesian people.Materials and methods This cross-sectional study was conducted by measuring secondary data on panoramic digital examinations of patients aged 50 years and older. A total of 428 panoramic radiographs were measured from January 2017 to December 2018. The number of remaining teeth (including the third molars) was evaluated. Mandibular porosity was measured by using panoramic radiographs, according to the MIC classification: normal; mildly to moderately eroded; and severely eroded cortex.Statistical analysis used Data analysis was done using Mann-Whitney nonparametric tests to verify the relationship between the MIC classification and the number of remaining teeth. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between confounding variables.Results A significant correlation was found between MIC classification and the number of remaining teeth on the Mann-Whitney test (P < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that MIC classification was significantly associated with the value of the number of remaining teeth after controlling for gender and age (β = -0.37, R2 = 0.22, P < 0.001). Subjects with MIC class 3 were 7.14 times more likely to lose their teeth than subjects with MIC class 1 or class 2.Conclusions Our study demonstrated that there was an association between the severity of mandibular inferior cortex porosity and the number of remaining teeth in elderly Indonesian people.

This research aims to analyze the effect of risk management on bank financial performance with corporate governance as a moderating variable. The independent variables used in this research are risk management, consist of credit risk (NPL), liquidity risk (LDR), and operating risk (OEIR). The dependent variable used is financial performance (ROA). Meanwhile, corporate governance as a moderating variable and firm size as a control variable. The regression model used are multiple linear regression analysis and moderated regression analysis. The sample was selected through purposive sampling method and 43 banks were selected as research sample. The result of this research showed that NPL and OEIR have a negative and significant impact on financial performance. Meanwhile, LDR has not significant effect on financial performance. Corporate governance was able to moderate the relationship between NPL and OEIR on financial performance, but unable to moderate the relationship between LDR on financial performance.

Abstract Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between nutrition literacy (NL) and food habits (FH) in adolescents, and the factors affecting the relationship. Design: The study used a cross-sectional design. The data were collected using socio-demographic information forms, the Adolescent Nutrition Literacy Scale (ANLS) and the Adolescent Food Habit Checklist (AFHC). The socio-demographic characteristics of adolescents were analysed using descriptive statistics, and the factors affecting NL and FH were determined using the t test, Mann–Whitney U test and ANOVA. The correlation between ANLS and AFHC scores was tested with correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis was employed to predict the change in the NL of adolescents at the level of FH. Setting: The study was conducted in the city of Izmir in Turkey. Participants: The study consisted of a total of 467 adolescents. Results: There was a statistically significant relationship between NL of adolescents and their gender, education level of the father, grade, BMI values and daily lifestyle behaviours (DLB), as well as between their FH and DLB. There was a positive and significant relationship between ANLS and AFHC. The ANLS and its subscales were found to have a statistically significant effect on AFHC. According to the linear regression analysis, the nutritional habits of adolescents were found to be significantly affected by NL (β = 0·357). Conclusions: As ANLS scores increased, AFHC scores were determined to increase as well. This finding shows that the FH of adolescents have changed positively with increase in their NL.

The Relationship

The relationship between eHealth adoption and life expectancy is complex. Research outcomes show different and contradictory results on this relationship. How and why eHealth adoption affect life expectancy is still to a large extent not clear. A causal link between the two is yet to be proven. Without such knowledge, effects of increase or decrease in eHealth adoption on life expectancy may be overestimated or underestimated. This study analyzes the relationship between life expectancy at birth and eHealth adoption in healthcare amongst five selected countries; 3 BRICS countries (China, Russia and South Africa), USA and Ghana, taking into account eHealth foundations, electronic health records, use of health eLearning in health sciences, social media and big data.</p> <p>This cross-sectional study analyzed WHO Global Survey on eHealth data of five selected countries collected between April and August 2015 by calculating and describing the bivariate correlation between the dependent variable and independent variables. A forward linear regression analysis is also applied to determine the predictive capability of the model.</p> <p>A significant negative correlation was observed between total health expenditure and eLearning overview, ICT development index rank and internet users and between life expectancy at birth and social media with coefficients of<em> rs = -0.95, p = .014, rs = -1.00, p < .001 and rs = -0.96, p < .001</em> respectively. Apart from social media indicator of eHealth’s eLearning overview that was significantly correlated with life expectancy at birth, no other correlation was observed between life expectancy at birth and any of the indicators of eHealth. The regression analysis of the predictors show a near perfect result of 100% predictive ability of the model. The study observed that countries that incorporated social media into their eHealth action, through the promotion of health messages on social media as a part of health promotion campaigns, managing patient appointments, sought feedback on services, made general health announcements on social media turn to have citizens that have a significant longer life expectancy. In order to realize high life expectancy of citizens, policy measures have to be directed towards investment in social media incorporation into eHealth strategies.
