20.500.12556/RUL-168091 A preliminary study on the role of personal history of infectious and parasitic diseases on self-reported health across countries Objectives: Infectious diseases are often associated with decline in quality of life. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between personal history of communicable, i.e., infectious and parasitic diseases and self-rated health. Study design: Secondary analysis of a large dataset multi-country observational study. Methods: We used a four-pronged analysis approach to investigate whether personal history of infectious and parasitic diseases is related to self-reported health, measured with a single item. Results: Three of the four analyses found a small positive effect on self-reported health among those reporting a history of pathogen exposure. The meta-analysis found no support but large heterogeneity that was not reduced by two classifications of countries. Conclusion: Personal history of infectious and parasitic diseases does not reduce self-reported health across a global sample. mental health global health multiverse analysis communicable diseases infectious disorders parasitic infections cross-cultural studies nalezljive bolezni parazitske okužbe duševno zdravje globalno zdravje medkulturne študije true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-03-28 12:20:52 2025-03-28 12:20:54 2025-03-29 04:14:36 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 220-227 Vol. 242 May 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 159.9:616.9 1476-5616 10.1016/j.puhe.2025.02.030 230625795 Zupancic_A_preliminary_study_on_the_role_of_personal_history_of_infectious_and_parasitic_diseases_on_self-reported_health_across_countries.pdf Zupancic_A_preliminary_study_on_the_role_of_personal_history_of_infectious_and_parasitic_diseases_on_self-reported_health_across_countries.pdf 1 08ADEC9179DB9D74DAACA1F4AC8A339A a5479efe6c6c5ef1ca90d4325cad72367e5dfc413e6badebc0e8e626471779e1 ea0f15d6-0bc5-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201097 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0033350625001039 1 ae99896b-0bc5-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201096 Filozofska fakulteta Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
