BACKGROUND Socioeconomic inequalities in health within Glasgow, Scotland, are among the widest in the world. This is largely attributed to socio-economic conditions. The 'Glasgow Effect' labels the finding that the high prevalence of some diseases cannot be fully explained by a conventional area-based socio-economic metric. This study aimed to investigate whether differences in dental caries be...

We present a compared analysis of some properties of indefinite almost S-manifolds and indefinite S-manifolds. We give some characterizations in terms of the Levi-Civita connection and of the characteristic vector fields. We study the sectional and φ-sectional curvature of indefinite almost S-manifolds and state an expression of the curvature tensor field for the indefinite S-space forms. We an...

This paper examines the relationship between the cross-sectional and lifetime income distributions using a simple model of relative income mobility. It asks whether cross-sectional comparisons between countries can provide a good indication of lifetime inequality differences if income mobility is similar, and whether lifetime inequality increases by less than cross-sectional inequality if the l...

in this paper, we obtain two intrinsic integral inequalities of hessian manifolds.

We classify all reduced, indecomposable fusion systems over finite 2-groups of sectional rank at most 4. The resulting list is very similar to that by Gorenstein and Harada of all simple groups of sectional 2-rank at most 4. But our method of proof is very different from theirs, and is based on an analysis of the essential subgroups which can occur in the fusion systems. 2010 Mathematics Subjec...

A classical theorem due to M. Berger [2] and W. Klingenberg [11] states that a simply connected Riemannian manifold whose sectional curvatures all lie in the interval [1, 4] is either isometric to a symmetric space or homeomorphic to Sn (see also [12], Theorems 2.8.7 and 2.8.10). In this paper, we provide a classification, up to diffeomorphism, of all Riemannian manifolds whose sectional curvat...

purpose : to determine the prevalence of the uncorrected refractive errors in bojnourd students methods : in a cross-sectional study, the samples were selected proportionate to the population of the schools using stratified randomized cluster sampling. the target population was the primary and junior high school students of the city of bojnourd. visual acuity (va) (snellen chart) and cycloplegi...

abstract background: the prevalence of self‑neglect among the elderly is expected to rise with a rapid increase in the growth of the older population. however, self‑neglect in the elderly and the factors related to it are not fully understood due to the limited research in the area, lack of consensus in the definition of the concept, and limited instrumentation. the purpose of this study was to...

more than eighty percent of patients with coronary heart diseases (chd) have conventional risk factors. prevalence of well known risk factors seems to show a different pattern in younger patients and individual above 55 years. to evaluate the pattern of conventional chd risk factors in healthy individuals in two different age groups. a large scale population based survey of 31999 individuals fr...
