Objective

To examine trends of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Australia by state/territory and country of birth.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was undertaken from 2016 to 2021 using data from the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) and Australian Bureau of Statistics. The trends were assessed using Average Annual Percentage Changes (AAPCs) and the Cochrane–Armitage test.

Results

Nationally, the age-standardised incidence of GDM was 9.3% (95%CI; 9.1–9.4) in 2016 and 15.7% (95%CI; 15.4–15.9) in 2021, representing AAPC of +10.9%. The highest increase was in the Northern Territory, from 6.7% (95%CI; 5.1–8.3) in 2016 to 19.2% (95%CI; 16.9–21.6) in 2021, AAPC=+24.6%. In Southeast Asian-born women, the incidence of GDM rose from 12.2% (95%CI; 11.7–12.7) in 2016 to 22.5% (95%CI; 21.9–23.2) in 2021 (p-trend<0.001).

Conclusions

The incidence of GDM has risen in Australia, particularly in the Northern Territory and Victoria, as well as among those born in Southeast Asia and South and Central Asia.

Implications for public health

This increase in GDM incidence in Australia underscores the pressing need for location and culturally responsive GDM prevention interventions. The lack of information on some risk factors of GDM (e.g. high body mass index) in the NDSS registry requires further investigation.
目的:了解澳大利亚按州/地区和出生国家划分的妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)趋势。方法:从2016年到2021年进行了一项横断面研究,使用了国家糖尿病服务计划(NDSS)和澳大利亚统计局的数据。使用平均年百分比变化(AAPCs)和Cochrane-Armitage检验评估趋势。结果:在全国范围内,GDM的年龄标准化发病率为9.3% (95%CI;9.1-9.4), 2016年为15.7% (95%CI;15.4-15.9),代表AAPC +10.9%。增幅最大的是北领地,从6.7% (95%CI;5.1-8.3)至19.2% (95%CI;16.9-21.6), AAPC=+24.6%。在东南亚出生的女性中,GDM的发病率从12.2%上升(95%CI;11.7-12.7)至22.5% (95%CI;结论:GDM的发病率在澳大利亚有所上升,特别是在北领地和维多利亚州,以及在东南亚、南亚和中亚出生的人群中。对公共卫生的影响:澳大利亚GDM发病率的增加强调了迫切需要对地理位置和文化敏感的GDM预防干预措施。NDSS登记处缺乏关于GDM的一些危险因素(如高体重指数)的信息,需要进一步调查。

Objective

Globally, funding ‘good causes’ is a legitimation tactic for gambling operations. This research aimed to determine if an Australian system allowing tax concessions to not-for-profits (NFPs) meets its primary intention of funding community purpose.

Methods

Not-for-profit (NFP) venues operating electronic gaming machines (EGMs) in the state of Victoria must submit records to the gambling regulator showing contribution to community purposes. The community benefit statements (CBS) of licensed Returned and Services League (RSL) venues were analysed, with an initial survey of the years 2010-19 and a more detailed analysis of the years 2017-19.

Results

Veteran support constituted less than 10% of the total community contributions claimed, or 1.5% of electronic gaming machine (EGM) user losses. On average, business expenses exceeded the claims for veteran support by 12:1. Contributions for addressing gambling-related harm represented less than 0.002% of recorded claims.

Conclusions & Implications for public health

This research demonstrates that the provision of charitable services derived from gambling revenue is very modest amongst Australia’s principal veteran’s organisation. Deficiencies in harm prevention and minimisation reinforce the need for changes to community benefit schemes. Regulatory reforms emphasising the vulnerability of veterans to gambling harm are required to ensure that this population is better protected.
目标:在全球范围内,资助“公益事业”是赌博业务的一种合法策略。本研究旨在确定澳大利亚允许对非营利组织(NFPs)进行税收优惠的制度是否符合其资助社区目的的主要意图。方法:在维多利亚州经营电子游戏机(egm)的非盈利(NFP)场所必须向赌博监管机构提交记录,显示对社区目的的贡献。对持牌退役军人服务联盟(RSL)场馆的社区利益声明(CBS)进行了分析,其中包括2010-19年的初步调查和2017-19年的更详细分析。结果:退伍军人的支持占社区总贡献的不到10%,占电子游戏机(EGM)用户损失的1.5%。平均而言,业务费用比退伍军人赡养费用高出12:1。用于解决赌博相关伤害的捐款占记录索赔的不到0.002%。结论和对公共卫生的影响:本研究表明,在澳大利亚主要的退伍军人组织中,从赌博收入中获得的慈善服务是非常适度的。在预防和尽量减少伤害方面的不足加强了改变社区福利计划的必要性。需要进行监管改革,强调退伍军人易受赌博伤害,以确保这一人群得到更好的保护。

Objective

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory infection with a higher burden in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants and children. We conducted a pilot qualitative study identifying disease knowledge and willingness to immunise following the changing immunisation landscape for infant RSV in 2024.

Methods

Yarning groups were held with a convenience sample of parents/carers of Aboriginal children attending playgroup at a metropolitan Aboriginal Health Service in Western Australia. Data collected in the form of notes were thematically analysed.

Results

We heard from nine parents/carers over two yarns in March/April 2024. Level of RSV awareness largely depended on lived experience of an RSV infection with some participants only first hearing of RSV following announcement of the immunisation program. Most participants were willing to accept immunisation. There was a strong preference for information on disease and immunisation safety coming from a ‘trusted Aboriginal voice’, but the level of information varied.

Conclusions

This pilot study provides initial insights into community views of RSV disease and immunisation. More RSV disease awareness is needed in the Indigenous community.

Implications for Public Health

These findings will help inform current and future RSV immunisation programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations.
目的:呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)是原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民婴儿和儿童呼吸道感染的主要原因,负担较高。我们进行了一项试点定性研究,确定2024年婴儿RSV免疫情况变化后的疾病知识和免疫意愿。方法:在西澳大利亚州的一个大都市土著卫生服务中心,以参加游戏小组的土著儿童的父母/照顾者为方便样本进行纱线组。以说明形式收集的数据按主题进行了分析。结果:我们在2024年3月和4月听取了9名家长/护理人员的意见。RSV意识水平在很大程度上取决于RSV感染的生活经历,一些参与者在宣布免疫计划后才首次听说RSV。大多数参与者都愿意接受免疫接种。对于来自“可信赖的土著声音”的关于疾病和免疫安全的信息,人们有强烈的偏好,但是信息的水平各不相同。结论:这项初步研究提供了对RSV疾病和免疫接种的社区观点的初步见解。土著社区需要提高对呼吸道合胞病毒疾病的认识。对公共卫生的影响:这些发现将有助于为土著和托雷斯海峡岛民提供当前和未来RSV免疫计划的信息。

Objectives

To explore associations between population density, air pollution concentrations, and related health outcomes in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.

Methods

Concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and associated health outcomes (premature mortality, cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalisations, and childhood asthma) were obtained from the Health and Air Pollution in New Zealand 2016 study. The possible mediating factors assessed were motor vehicle traffic, domestic fires, local industry, and green space.

Results

Higher population density was associated with higher concentrations of NO2 (β: 0.18, p < 0.01) and PM2.5 (β: 0.04, p < 0.01). Adverse health outcomes related to NO2 and respiratory hospitalisations attributed to PM2.5 exposure increased incrementally with the density of urban areas. The mediating factor with the strongest effect was motor vehicle traffic.

Conclusions

Higher population density in Auckland is associated with worse air quality and related health outcomes. Motor vehicle traffic is the most important source of pollution and is highest in the most densely populated parts of the city.

Implications for Public Health

Housing intensification in Auckland will likely increase ill health from air pollution unless steps are taken to reduce exposure to emissions from motor vehicles.
目的:探讨新西兰奥克兰市Tāmaki马科劳地区人口密度、空气污染浓度和相关健康结果之间的关系。方法:从2016年新西兰健康与空气污染研究中获得二氧化氮(NO2)和细颗粒物(PM2.5)的浓度和相关的健康结果(过早死亡、心血管和呼吸系统住院以及儿童哮喘)。评估的可能中介因素是机动车交通、家庭火灾、当地工业和绿地。结果:人口密度越大,NO2 (β: 0.18, p < 0.01)和PM2.5 (β: 0.04, p < 0.01)浓度越高。与PM2.5暴露相关的二氧化氮和呼吸道住院相关的不良健康结果随着城市地区密度的增加而增加。影响最大的中介因子是机动车交通。结论:奥克兰较高的人口密度与较差的空气质量和相关的健康结果有关。机动车交通是最重要的污染源,在城市人口最密集的地区污染程度最高。对公众健康的影响:除非采取措施减少机动车排放物的暴露,否则奥克兰住房密集化可能会增加空气污染造成的健康不良。

Objectives: To understand how fruit and vegetable prices in regional Victoria, Australia, vary depending on growing location, retailer type, socioeconomic area and remoteness level.

Methods: A feasibility study was conducted to collect and examine fruit and vegetable prices in Loddon Campaspe based on growing location and store characteristics. Statistical analyses were used to test the significance of price differences according to these area-level characteristics.

Results: Fruit and vegetable prices were collected from 65 vendors between February and May 2023. Fruit or vegetable options were typically similar in price when locally grown compared to when grown elsewhere but were often cheapest at large supermarkets. No consistent relationships were found between fruit and vegetable prices and area-level socioeconomic position or remoteness.

Conclusions: With the exception of fruit and vegetable prices often being cheaper at supermarkets than small retailers, no other consistent relationships were observed in the context of our study.

Implications for public health: Addressing fruit and vegetable prices and their affordability, including through policies and research that target small retailers, income supports, and localised food systems initiatives are likely to be important leverage points to reduce regional inequities in access to healthy diets in Victoria.

Objective

Drone delivery services are set to increase unhealthy food and alcohol accessibility. The aim of this study was to evaluate public receptiveness to various options for regulating drone food and beverage deliveries and to identify sociodemographic differences in receptiveness.

Methods

In total, 1079 adults were surveyed to assess total support and differences in support between population subgroups (e.g. age, sex, location, existing habits) for nine potential drone policies covering curfews, quotas, and product bans. Support was measured on five-point agreement scales, with mean individual policy support (M) and grand mean support calculated for all assessed policies (grand M).

Results

There was moderate support for all assessed policies (grand M=3.5), ranging from M=3.2 (drone delivery quotas for shopping centres and dwellings) to M=3.7 (night curfews, airspace quotas). Factors associated with policy support were older age, metropolitan residence and using grocery delivery services.

Conclusions

Public support exists for policies designed to restrict drone food and beverage deliveries.

Implications for public health

Drone food and beverage delivery policies will likely be supported by the public and could assist in controlling the accessibility of such products for the benefit of population dietary health.
目标:无人机送餐服务将增加不健康食品和酒类的可获得性。本研究旨在评估公众对各种无人机食品和饮料递送监管方案的接受程度,并确定接受程度的社会人口差异:共调查了 1079 名成年人,以评估不同人群(如年龄、性别、地点、现有习惯等)对九种潜在无人机政策的总支持率和支持率差异,这些政策包括宵禁、配额和产品禁令。支持度采用五点同意量表进行测量,并计算出单项政策支持度的平均值(M)和所有评估政策支持度的总平均值(grand M):所有评估政策均获得中等程度的支持(总平均支持率=3.5),支持率从 M=3.2(购物中心和住宅的无人机送货配额)到 M=3.7(夜间宵禁、空域配额)不等。与政策支持相关的因素包括年龄较大、居住在大都市以及使用杂货配送服务:公众支持旨在限制无人机送餐的政策:无人机食品和饮料递送政策很可能会得到公众的支持,并有助于控制此类产品的可获得性,从而有利于人们的饮食健康。
