Testing the Mediating Role of Social Interactions on the Relationship Between Age and Plumage Traits on Reproductive Success

Ethology, EarlyView.
This conceptual figure uses Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) to represent the hypothesized biological mechanism in which age and/or plumage traits affect reproductive success, and social interactions mediate these relationships. It highlights the predicted decomposition of (a) the total effect into the direct and indirect effects under scenarios of (b ...

Social Capital and Dental Service Utilisation Among Japanese Older Adults: A Multilevel Longitudinal Study Using the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) Data

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Social capital is an important social determinant of health linked to oral health and health‐related behaviours. Several studies assessed its association with dental service utilisation; however, findings remain inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the association between individual‐ and community‐level social capital and ...

Counter‐factual simulation highlights requirements for additional management to avert extinction of a relict Tītī/Sooty Shearwater population

Ibis, EarlyView.
Seabirds play key ecological roles but face increasing threats worldwide. Among them, Tītī (Sooty Shearwater) Ardenna grisea are among the most abundant and culturally significant species in the Southern Hemisphere but are also threatened. Kapiti Island, Aotearoa (New Zealand), holds a Tītī colony which, despite eradication of non‐native mammalian ...

Periodontal Status and the Risk of All‐Cause Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia in a Community: The Hisayama Study

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study examined the associations of periodontal status with incident dementia and its subtypes in a Japanese community. Materials and Methods The 1396 participants aged ≥ 60 years without dementia were followed for 10 years. Periodontal status at baseline and 5 years was assessed using mean probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical ...

Early outdoor play predicts trajectories of child mental health in a population‐based cohort

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Outdoor play may offer developmental opportunities that support good mental health. Cross‐sectional data indicate that more outdoor play is associated with better mental health, particularly internalising problems (e.g. anxiety and depression), but longitudinal research is lacking.

The association between 24‐hr movement patterns and self‐harm incidence in adolescence

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Self‐harm is a pressing public health issue, particularly among adolescents. Physical activity is associated with reduced self‐harm among youths, but evidence is limited. Most studies rely on self‐reported measures and are primarily focused on moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA), often overlooking the role of light‐intensity ...

Early‐life pathways to inequalities in child mental health: evidence from eight birth cohorts

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Socioeconomic inequalities in children's emotional and behavioural problems are already present at school entry. We examined associations between early‐life socioeconomic conditions and children's externalising and internalising problems and assessed whether early‐life risk factors mediated these associations.
