Background: hypertension can be detected at the primary health-care level and low-cost treatments can effectively control hypertension. We aimed to measure the prevalence of hypertension and progress in its detection, treatment, and control from 1990 to 2019 for 200 countries and territories. Methods: we used data from 1990 to 2019 on people aged 30-79 years from population-representative studies with measurement of blood pressure and data on blood pressure treatment. We defined hypertension as having systolic blood pressure 140 mm Hg or greater, diastolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg or greater, or taking medication for hypertension. We applied a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and the proportion of people with hypertension who had a previous diagnosis (detection), who were taking medication for hypertension (treatment), and whose hypertension was controlled to below 140/90 mm Hg (control). The model allowed for trends over time to be non-linear and to vary by age. Findings: the number of people aged 30-79 years with hypertension doubled from 1990 to 2019, from 331 (95% credible interval 306-359) million women and 317 (292-344) million men in 1990 to 626 (584-668) million women and 652 (604-698) million men in 2019, despite stable global age-standardised prevalence. In 2019, age-standardised hypertension prevalence was lowest in Canada and Peru for both men and women; in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and some countries in western Europe including Switzerland, Spain, and the UK for women; and in several low-income and middle-income countries such as Eritrea, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Solomon Islands for men. Hypertension prevalence surpassed 50% for women in two countries and men in nine countries, in central and eastern Europe, central Asia, Oceania, and Latin America. Globally, 59% (55-62) of women and 49% (46-52) of men with hypertension reported a previous diagnosis of hypertension in 2019, and 47% (43-51) of women and 38% (35-41) of men were treated. Control rates among people with hypertension in 2019 were 23% (20-27) for women and 18% (16-21) for men. In 2019, treatment and control rates were highest in South Korea, Canada, and Iceland (treatment >70%; control >50%), followed by the USA, Costa Rica, Germany, Portugal, and Taiwan. Treatment rates were less than 25% for women and less than 20% for men in Nepal, Indonesia, and some countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania. Control rates were below 10% for women and men in these countries and for men in some countries in north Africa, central and south Asia, and eastern Europe. Treatment and control rates have improved in most countries since 1990, but we found little change in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania. Improvements were largest in high-income countries, central Europe, and some upper-middle-income and recently high-income countries including Costa Rica, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Brazil, Chile, Turkey, and Iran. Interpretation Improvements in the detection, treatment, and control of hypertension have varied substantially across countries, with some middle-income countries now outperforming most high-income nations. The dual approach of reducing hypertension prevalence through primary prevention and enhancing its treatment and control is achievable not only in high-income countries but also in low-income and middle-income settings., British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence Grant; World Health Organization (WHO); Abdul Latif Jameel Institute for Disease and Emergency Analytics Fellowship

Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases - Abstract
BACKGROUND: Arterial hypertension is animportant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Epidemiological studies typically perform three consecutive blood pressure measurements. The first measurement is discarded in subsequent analyses, as this value may be strongly affected by previous activities. Due to time constraints the German National Cohort (GNC NAKO) performed only two blood pressure measurements. OBJECTIVES: The present analysis examined the possible effects of methodological differences in blood pressure measurement by comparing the first 101,816 GNC participants (two blood pressure measurements) with those of five German population-based studies (three measurements). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Blood pressure data from participants aged 20 to 79 years from the GNC, the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults by the Robert Koch Institute (DEGS1), and four regional population-based cohort studies (CARLA, HNR, KORA, SHIP) were used to calculate age- and sex-specific mean blood pressure values and hypertension frequencies based on the second blood pressure measurement, the arithmetic mean of the first and second value and of the second and third (the latter not available in the GNC). RESULTS: The mean blood pressure values of the two most recent studies (GNC, DEGS1) were very similar and lower than in the other studies. The difference of the second measurement and the mean of second and third measurement was small (maximum mean difference: 1.5mm Hg systolic blood pressure), but leads to higher estimated hypertension frequencies. CONCLUSIONS: The current results show that using the second blood pressure measurement should be recommended for scientific analyses of GNC data.

Background: Antihypertensive medicines are effective in reducing adverse cardiovascular events. Our aim was to compare hypertension awareness, treatment and control, and how they have changed over time, in high-income countries. Methods: We used data on 526,336 participants aged 40-79 years in 123 national health examination surveys from 1976 to 2017 in twelve high-income countries: Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, the UK, and the USA. We calculated the percent of participants with hypertension – defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90mmHg or being on pharmacological treatment for hypertension – who were aware of their condition, who were treated, and whose hypertension was controlled (i.e. lower than 140/90 mmHg). Findings: Canada, South Korea, Australia and the UK have the lowest prevalence of hypertension, and Finland the highest. In the 1980s and early 1990s, treatment rates were at most 40% and control rates were below 25% in most countries and age-sex groups. Over time, hypertension awareness and treatment increased and control rate improved in all twelve countries, with South Korea and Germany experiencing the largest improvements. Most of the increase occurred in the 1990s and early-mid 2000s, having plateaued since in most countries.Canada, Germany, South Korea and the USA have the highest rates of awareness, treatment and control, while Finland, Ireland, Japan and Spain the lowest. Even in the best performing countries, treatment coverage was at most 80% and control rates were below 70%. Interpretation: Hypertension awareness, treatment and control have improved substantially in high-income countries since the 1980s and 1990s. However, control rates have plateaued in the past decade, at levels lower than those in high-quality hypertension programmes. There is substantial variation across countries in the rates of hypertension diagnosis, treatment and control.

Background: Change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure could be due to both shifts in the entire distribution of blood pressure (representing the combined effects of public health interventions and secular trends) and changes in its high-blood-pressure tail (representing successful clinical interventions to control blood pressure in the hypertensive population). Our aim was to quantify the contributions of these two phenomena to the worldwide trends in the prevalence of raised blood pressure. Methods: We pooled 1018 population-based studies with blood pressure measurements on 88.6 million participants from 1985 to 2016. We first calculated mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and prevalence of raised blood pressure by sex and 10-year age group from 20-29 years to 70-79 years in each study, taking into account complex survey design and survey sample weights, where relevant. We used a linear mixed effect model to quantify the association between (probittransformed) prevalence of raised blood pressure and age-group- and sex-specific mean blood pressure. We calculated the contributions of change in mean SBP and DBP, and of change in the prevalence-mean association, to the change in prevalence of raised blood pressure. Results: In 2005-16, at the same level of population mean SBP and DBP, men and women in South Asia and in Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa would have the highest prevalence of raised blood pressure, and men and women in the highincome Asia Pacific and high-income Western regions would have the lowest. In most region-sex-age groups where the prevalence of raised blood pressure declined, one half or more of the decline was due to the decline in mean blood pressure. Where prevalence of raised blood pressure has increased, the change was entirely driven by increasing mean blood pressure, offset partly by the change in the prevalence-mean association. Conclusions: Change in mean blood pressure is the main driver of the worldwide change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure, but change in the high-blood-pressure tail of the distribution has also contributed to the change in prevalence, especially in older age groups. © The Author(s) 2018.

Background: Change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure could be due to both shifts in the entire distribution of blood pressure (representing the combined effects of public health interventions and secular trends) and changes in its high-blood-pressure tail (representing successful clinical interventions to control blood pressure in the hypertensive population). Our aim was to quantify the contributions of these two phenomena to the worldwide trends in the prevalence of raised blood pressure. Methods: We pooled 1018 population-based studies with blood pressure measurements on 88.6 million participants from 1985 to 2016. We first calculated mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and prevalence of raised blood pressure by sex and 10-year age group from 20-29 years to 70-79 years in each study, taking into account complex survey design and survey sample weights, where relevant. We used a linear mixed effect model to quantify the association between (probit-transformed) prevalence of raised blood pressure and age-group-and sex-specific mean blood pressure. We calculated the contributions of change in mean SBP and DBP, and of change in the prevalence-mean association, to the change in prevalence of raised blood pressure. Results: In 2005-16, at the same level of population mean SBP and DBP, men and women in South Asia and in Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa would have the highest prevalence of raised blood pressure, and men and women in the high-income Asia Pacific and high-income Western regions would have the lowest. In most region-sex-age groups where the prevalence of raised blood pressure declined, one half or more of the decline was due to the decline in mean blood pressure. Where prevalence of raised blood pressure has increased, the change was entirely driven by increasing mean blood pressure, offset partly by the change in the prevalence-mean association. Conclusions: Change in mean blood pressure is the main driver of the worldwide change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure, but change in the high-blood-pressure tail of the distribution has also contributed to the change in prevalence, especially in older age groups., This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust [101506/Z/13/Z].

- Abstract
Background: In Europe, the health situation is primarily influenced by non-communicable diseases. Comparable information on key indicators for the European region can highlight potential areas for improvement in prevention and care., Method: Based on EHIS 3, age-standardised prevalences of three disease groups and two indicators of self-assessed health among those affected were presented for Germany ( n = 22,708) and the average of 29 European countries ( n = 301,960)., Results: The disease prevalence estimates in Germany were higher compared to the European average: diabetes 8.4 % vs. 7.4 %, cardiovascular diseases 6.8 % vs. 5.7 %, chronic respiratory diseases 11.4 % vs. 7.9 %. Likewise, the proportion with self-assessed very good or good general health among those affected was also higher in Germany (diabetes 35.8 % vs. 30.7 %, cardiovascular diseases 25.3 % vs. 18.9 %, chronic respiratory diseases 44.7 % vs. 41.9 %). For limitations in everyday activities, higher proportions were found in Germany for diabetes (65.6 % vs. 60.6 %) and chronic respiratory diseases (64.5 % vs. 57.6 %). Germany showed similar gender-, age- and education-specific differences for disease prevalence, but in part less pronounced differences for the indicators of self-assessed health than the European average., Conclusions: Further analysis of the differences for the indicators considered between Germany and the European average and the possible underlying factors, such as differences in prevention, diagnosis, disease severity and care, is required. The educational inequalities observed across Europe suggest considerable potential for promoting health equity., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest., (© Robert Koch Institute.

- Abstract
Background: Needs-based care is a central concern of healthcare policy. A European comparison of the utilisation of medical services can help to assess national data and identify the need for action., Methods: This article describes indicators on the utilisation of outpatient and inpatient services, medical examinations and the use of medicines from the third wave of the European Health Interview Survey (EHIS 3) and compares the results from Germany with the European averages., Results: Age-standardised, the utilisation of medical services in Germany was above the European average without exception, whereby demographic and social differences were similar. Almost all services were utilised more frequently by women and in older age groups. Exceptions are inpatient services and colonoscopy, where there was no difference between the sexes, and more frequent use of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic services and non-prescription medication among younger adults. Specialist medical and dental services were used more frequently in the high education group, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic services as well as inpatient services and prescription medication in the low education group., Conclusions: The European comparison requires a differentiated categorisation of the findings. While the high utilisation in Germany for some evidence-based services (e.g. colonoscopy, dentistry) indicates good access to care, the high inpatient utilisation, for example, is also the subject of critical discussion., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest., (© Robert Koch Institute.

- Abstract
Background: Fatigue is an unspecific symptom complex characterized by tiredness, lack of energy, and lack of concentration and is of considerable public health relevance, due to its links with incapacity for work, risk of accidents, and increased need for healthcare., Methods: The analyses are based on data from 9766 adults of the telephone survey "Gesundheit in Deutschland aktuell (GEDA)" 2023. Fatigue was recorded using the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), a validated instrument with 10 questions for self-assessment of fatigue. The scale was dichotomized into yes (at least mild to moderate fatigue) versus no (no fatigue). Population-weighted prevalences of fatigue and associated sociodemographic and health-related factors were calculated in descriptive analyses and multivariable Poisson regression., Results: The overall prevalence of fatigue in adults in Germany is 29.7% (95% CI 28.1-31.2), is highest in 18- to 29-year-olds (39.6% (95% CI 35.0-44.4)), and decreases in the age groups up to 65-79 years (20.6% (95% CI 18.2-23.3)). It is higher again in the very old age group (33.2% (95% CI 28.9-37.7)). Women have a higher risk of fatigue than men (aRR 1.19 (95% CI 1.08-1.32)). Fatigue is significantly associated with age, lower education, chronic illness, depression, and long COVID, regardless of covariates., Discussion: GEDA 2023 is one of the few population-based studies to have collected data on fatigue. The results allow estimates to be made for Germany on the frequency of fatigue and the significance of physical, psychological, and social influencing factors. They can be used as a reference or as a basis for trends over time as part of continuous health monitoring in Germany., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Most of the previous studies on health sequelae of COVID-19 are uncontrolled cohorts and include a relatively short follow-up. This population-based multi-center cohort study examined health consequences among individuals about 1 to 1.5 years after SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with non-infected., Methods: The study population consisted of adults (≥ 18 years) from four municipalities particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020 who completed a detailed follow-up questionnaire on health-related topics. Exposure was the SARS-CoV-2 infection status (based on IgG antibodies, PCR test, or physician-diagnosis of COVID-19) at baseline (May to December 2020). Outcomes assessed at follow-up (October 2021 to January 2022; mean: 452 days) included recurrent or persistent health complaints, incident diseases, health-related quality of life (PROMIS-29), subjective health, and subjective memory impairment. Logistic and linear regression models were adjusted for baseline sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics (age, sex, municipality, education, smoking, body mass index), pre-existing health conditions (chronic disease/health problem, health-related activity limitation, depressive/anxiety disorder), and follow-up time., Results: Among 4817 participants, 350 had a SARS-CoV-2 infection at baseline and 4467 had no infection at baseline or during follow-up. Those with an infection statistically significantly more often reported 7 out of 18 recurrent or persistent health complaints at follow-up: smell/taste disorders (12.8% vs. 3.4%, OR 4.11), shortness of breath (23.0% vs. 9.5%, 3.46), pain when breathing (4.7% vs. 1.9%, 2.36), fatigue (36.9% vs. 26.1%, 1.76), weakness in legs (12.8% vs. 7.8%, 1.93), myalgia/joint pain (21.9% vs. 15.1%, 1.53) and cough (30.8% vs. 24.8%, 1.34) and 3 out of 6 groups of incident diseases: liver/kidney (2.7% vs. 0.9%, 3.70), lung (3.2% vs. 1.1%, 3.50) and cardiovascular/metabolic (6.5% vs. 4.0%, 1.68) diseases. Those with an infection were significantly more likely to report poor subjective health (19.3% vs. 13.0%, 1.91), memory impairment (25.7% vs. 14.3%, 2.27), and worse mean scores on fatigue and physical function domains of PROMIS-29 than non-infected., Conclusion: Even after more than one year, individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection showed an increased risk of various health complaints, functional limitations, and worse subjective well-being, pointing toward profound health consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection relevant for public health., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Background: This study aimed to derive carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) percentiles from a population-based sample of adolescents and young adults using improved technology, standardization and quality control, and to investigate the association of CIMT with hypertensive blood pressure (BP) and obesity., Methods: Four thousand seven hundred nine 14- to 28-year-old participants of the German KiGGS cohort 11-year follow-up, which was based on a nationwide population sample, had B-mode ultrasound CIMT measurement with semi-automated edge-detection and automatic ECG-gated real-time quality control. CIMT percentiles were estimated from far wall CIMT during 2 to 6 heart cycles using the GAMLSS statistical model. Hypertensive BP, overweight, obesity, and a risk score from added Z scores of triglycerides, total/HDL (high-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol ratio, and glycated hemoglobin were based on standardized measurements at baseline and follow-up., Results: CIMT differed by sex at all ages, furthermore by age and height in a nonlinear fashion. Percentiles were estimated simultaneously by age and height. Hypertensive BP and obesity were associated cross-sectionally and longitudinally with a higher risk of CIMT ≥75th percentile in log-binomial regression models adjusted for age, sex, height, current smoking, and cardiovascular risk score. For CIMT ≥90th percentile, the relative risk effect estimates were consistently >1 but often had large confidence intervals including 1, largest adjusted relative risk 3.37 (95% CI, 1.41-8.04) for the combination of hypertensive BP and obesity at follow-up., Conclusions: Based on state-of-the-art measurements and statistical techniques, these population-based CIMT percentiles by sex, age and height add unbiased evidence for the association of subclinical atherosclerosis with hypertensive BP and obesity in the young.

- Abstract
To track blood pressure (BP) and resting heart rate (RHR) in children and adolescents is important due to its associations with cardiovascular outcomes in the adulthood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine BP and RHR over a decade among children and adolescents living in Germany using national examination data. Cross-sectional data from 3- to 17-year-old national survey participants (KiGGS 2003-06, n = 14,701; KiGGS 2014-17, n = 3509) including standardized oscillometric BP and RHR were used for age- and sex-standardized analysis. Measurement protocols were identical with the exception of the cuff selection rule, which was accounted for in the analyses. Different BP and RHR trends were observed according to age-groups. In 3- to 6-year-olds adjusted mean SBP and DBP were significantly higher in 2014-2017 compared to 2003-2006 (+2.4 and +1.9 mm Hg, respectively), while RHR was statistically significantly lower by -3.8 bpm. No significant changes in BP or in RHR were observed in 7- to 10-year-olds over time. In 11- to 13-year-olds as well as in 14- to 17-year-olds lower BP has been observed (SBP -2.4 and -3.2 mm Hg, respectively, and DBP -1.8 and -1.7 mm Hg), while RHR was significantly higher (+2.7 and +3.7 bpm). BP trends did not parallel RHR trends. The downward BP trend in adolescents seemed to follow decreasing adult BP trends in middle and high-income countries. The increase in BP in younger children needs confirmation from other studies as well as further investigation. In school-aged children and adolescents, the increased RHR trend may indicate decreased physical fitness., (© 2021. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Acquired long QT syndrome (aLQTS) is a serious unpredictable adverse drug reaction. Pharmacogenomic markers may predict risk., Methods: Among 153 aLQTS patients (mean age 58 years [range, 14-88], 98.7% White, 85.6% symptomatic), computational methods identified proteins interacting most significantly with 216 QT-prolonging drugs. All cases underwent sequencing of 31 candidate genes arising from this analysis or associating with congenital LQTS. Variants were filtered using a minor allele frequency <1% and classified for susceptibility for aLQTS. Gene-burden analyses were then performed comparing the primary cohort to control exomes (n=452) and an independent replication aLQTS exome sequencing cohort., Results: In 25.5% of cases, at least one rare variant was identified: 22.2% of cases carried a rare variant in a gene associated with congenital LQTS, and in 4% of cases that variant was known to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic for congenital LQTS; 7.8% cases carried a cytochrome-P450 (CYP) gene variant. Of 12 identified CYP variants, 11 (92%) were in an enzyme known to metabolize at least one culprit drug to which the subject had been exposed. Drug-drug interactions that affected culprit drug metabolism were found in 19% of cases. More than one congenital LQTS variant, CYP gene variant, or drug interaction was present in 7.8% of cases. Gene-burden analyses of the primary cohort compared to control exomes (n=452), and an independent replication aLQTS exome sequencing cohort (n=67) and drug-tolerant controls (n=148) demonstrated an increased burden of rare (minor allele frequency<0.01) variants in CYP genes but not LQTS genes., Conclusions: Rare susceptibility variants in CYP genes are emerging as potentially important pharmacogenomic risk markers for aLQTS and could form part of personalized medicine approaches in the future.

- Abstract
Background: Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and stiffness (cS) are predictive markers of early vascular aging and atherosclerotic risk. This study assessed, whether exercise has protective effects on carotid structure and function or on vascular risk in the young. Methods: Volume and change of exercise (recreational and organized sports participation) of German adolescents and young adults was assessed within the prospective population-study KiGGS at KiGGS-Wave-1 (2009-2012) and KiGGS-Wave-2 (2014-2017) using standardized self-reporting questionnaires. CIMT and cS were measured by real-time B-mode ultrasound sequences with semi-automated edge-detection and automatic electrocardiogram-gated quality control in 2,893 participants (14-28 years, 49.6% female). A cumulative index for atherosclerotic risk (CV-R) included z-scores of mean arterial pressure, triglycerides, total/HDL-cholesterol-ratio, body mass index, and HbA1c. Results: At KiGGS-Wave-2 cross-sectional CV-R but not cS and cIMT was lower in all exercise-groups compared to "no exercise" (B = -0.73, 95%-CI = -1.26 to 0.19, p = 0.008). Longitudinal volume of exercise was negatively associated with CV-R (B = -0.37, 95%-CI = -0.74 to 0.00, p = 0.048) but not with cS and cIMT. Cross-sectional relative risk of elevated CV-R but not cS and cIMT was lower in all exercise-groups compared to "no exercise" (RR = 0.80, 95%-CI = 0.66 to 0.98, p = 0.033). High exercise volumes were associated with lower relative risk of elevated CV-R (RR = 0.80, 95%-CI = 0.65-0.97, p = 0.021) and cS in tendency but not with cIMT. Conclusions: Increased levels of exercise are associated with a better cardiovascular risk profile in young individuals, but not with cS and cIMT. Our study confirms previous recommendations on exercise in this age group without demonstrating a clear benefit on surrogate markers of vascular health., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Königstein, Büschges, Sarganas, Krug, Neuhauser and Schmidt-Trucksäss.)

- Abstract
Background: SARS-CoV‑2 serologic studies complement and expand findings from confirmed COVID-19 cases through identification of undetected cases., Objectives: This article summarizes previous results on SARS-CoV‑2 prevalence from seroepidemiological studies in Germany focusing on children and adolescents and complements the already existing overview on seroprevalence in adults from general population samples and especially blood donors in Germany., Methods: The results are based on an ongoing systematic search in study registries, in literature databases, of preprint publications, and of media reports of seroepidemiological studies in Germany and their results., Results: As of 17 September 2021, we are aware of 16 German seroepidemiological studies focusing on children and adolescents. Results are available for nine of these studies. For almost all settings studied, SARS-CoV‑2 seroprevalence was well below 1% for preschool and elementary school children in the first COVID-19 wave and below 2% for adolescents. As the pandemic progressed, higher seroprevalences of up to 8% were found in elementary school children., Discussion: Results of SARS-CoV‑2 antibody studies in children and adolescents in Germany are scarce so far and are based on non-representative samples at local or regional level. In future studies, it is necessary on the one hand to estimate which proportion of children and adolescents has already either had an infection or has been vaccinated. On the other hand, it is important to investigate physical and mental health impairments that occur after an infection., (© 2021. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Outpatient health care provision plays an important role in the identification and treatment of health problems. Data are needed on the utilisation of health care services and their determinants to enable health policy decision-making and needs-based care provision. The analyses set out in this article are based on current data on the utilisation of outpatient health care services. The data stem from the German Health Update (GEDA 2019/2020-EHIS), a nationwide cross-sectional survey of the resident population in Germany that is undertaken as part of the health monitoring conducted at the Robert Koch Institute. Around 80% of the population aged 18 or over were treated at least once within twelve months by a general practitioner, 60% by a specialist, and 10% received psychiatric or psychotherapeutic treatment. Less than half of those eligible had had a stool test during the past two years, and just over half had had a colonoscopy in the past ten years. Around 80% of women and 70% of men had had their blood pressure checked within the last year, and 60% had had their blood cholesterol or blood sugar levels monitored. Over 50% reported that they had taken medically prescribed drugs in the past two weeks. In general, most of the indicators under study suggest that utilisation increases with age and that utilisation is higher among women than men, with the exception of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic services, among others., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest The authors declared no conflicts of interest., (© Robert Koch Institute.

- Abstract
Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and carotid stiffness (CS) are important markers of atherosclerotic risk in the young. We assessed a novel third-generation method for its applicability in large population-based epidemiologic studies to determine strengths, limitations, completeness and predictors of unsuccessful measurement. Four thousand seven hundred ninety-eight 14- to 31-y-old participants of the German KiGGS cohort, which is based on a nationally representative sample with 11-y follow-up, underwent B-mode ultrasound examinations of the left and right common carotid artery with semi-automatic edge detection and automatic electrocardiogram-gated real-time quality control based on a sophisticated snake algorithm and subpixel interpolation. Overall completeness was 98% for far wall cIMT and 89% for CS parameters. Plane-specific completeness varied from 92%-96% for far wall and from 64%-69% for near-wall cIMT. Obesity independently predicted unsuccessful cIMT and CS measurements with odds ratios of 12.67 (95% confidence interval: 5.50-29.19) and 7.30 (4.87-10.94) compared with non-overweight after adjustment for blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, hazardous drinking, age, sex and sonographer. Inter- and intra-rater reliabilities of cIMT and CS parameters in a sample of 15 young adults were good or excellent. Third-generation cIMT and CS measurements in the young with semi-automatic edge-detection and automatic real-time quality control has been successfully standardized with high reliability and very high completeness in a national survey setting. This provides a strong methodological foundation for further validation of the predictive value of cIMT and CS for atherosclerotic risk in the young., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest disclosure The authors report no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2020 World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology.

- Abstract
Since the beginning of the year 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has spread globally at a tremendous pace. Studies on the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the population help estimate the number of people that have already been infected. They also allow an estimate of the number of undetected infections i.e. infections that do not appear in data on officially reported cases. The interpretation of study results needs to consider bias from selective sampling and the diagnostic test properties. To promote networking and co-operation between scientists, the Robert Koch Institute has compiled an overview of the seroepidemiological studies conducted in Germany on its website, which is regularly updated. The RKI conducts searches, for example of press releases, study registry entries or preprint server publications, and contacts the lead investigators of these studies. Of the 40 studies contacted so far, 24 have already provided information (as of 25.06.2020). We can differentiate between studies of the general population, of selected population groups such as healthcare workers, or of ongoing cohorts. This article provides an overview of such studies from Germany, but also of selected international studies. A special focus is set on studies of children and adolescents, which are now of particular interest due to the planned reopening of childcare facilities and schools., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest The authors declared no conflicts of interest., (© Robert Koch Institute.

- Abstract
In KiGGS Wave 2, data from 3‑ to 17-year-olds were collected from a total of 3462 persons using a standardized interview on the current use of AM/NEM in the last seven days. For trends analysis, data from 14,679 study participants in the same age group from the KiGGS baseline study were used.In KiGGS Wave 2, 36.4% (95% CI 34.1-38.8) of the 3‑ to 17-year-olds had used at least one AM/NEM in the last seven days. The prevalence was highest at 46.5% in 14- to 17-year-olds and significantly different between girls and boys (56.4% vs. 37.3%). Only among girls were there significant differences by migrant background with a higher prevalence of use among girls without a migrant background.Most frequently, the preparations used were for treatment of the respiratory tract (girls: 14.5%, boys: 15.1%), followed by "Varia" (girls: 8.7%, boys: 9.3%) and preparations for the treatment of the musculoskeletal system (girls: 9.0%, boys: 5.9%). There was a significant decrease in the overall prevalence of medicine use compared to the KiGGS baseline study (46.4% vs. 36.4%). This decrease was mainly due to lower prevalences of use in the ATC main groups "N Nervous System" (7.5% vs. 5.4%), "J Systemic Anti-infectives" (2.5% vs. 1.4%) and "H Systemic Hormones, excl. Sexual Hormones and Insulins" (2.0% vs. 1.1%).The results describe key points in the use of AM/NEM, including self-medication for children and adolescents in Germany. They illustrate the use behaviour and represent a valuable supplement to prescription data.

- Abstract
Objective: This study aims to compare two oscillometric devices used in national health surveys in Germany, Datascope Accutorr Plus and Mobil-O-Graph PWA and to develop formulas for the conversion of blood pressure (BP) values., Methods: One hundred and four adults aged 21-86 years had nine alternate same-arm BP measurements according to the International Protocol revision 2010 for the validation of BP measuring devices in adults of the European Society of Hypertension. Measurements 2-8 yielded six pairs of measurements at 30- to 60-second interval with the two devices, totaling 743 pairs used for analysis., Results: Mean Mobil-O-Graph SBP and DBP were higher than those from Datascope. Mean differences (Mobil-O-Graph minus Datascope) increased within BP ranges (optimal, normal, high normal, hypertensive stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3): SBP 0.5 ± 8.5, 3.1 ± 8.2, 3.7 ± 8.0, 5.3 ± 8.8, 13.8 ± 10.2 and 15.0 ± 25.9, respectively, and DBP 2.6 ± 5.6, 6.0 ± 4.9, 6.6 ± 5.2, 8.4 ± 4.8, 12.3 ± 4.6 and 20.4 ± 4.2, respectively. For Mobil-O-Graph pulse pressure less than 43 mm Hg, the DBP difference was 6.3 ± 5.5, and for Mobil-O-Graph pulse pressure more than 50 mm Hg, the SBP difference was 7.4 ± 9.3. The prevalence of BP at least 140/90 mm Hg was 28.8% with Mobil-O-Graph and 20.5% with Datascope. Bidirectional conversion models of SBP and DBP adjusting for BP, pulse pressure, sex, age and cuff width to arm circumference ratio were developed., Conclusion: The disagreement in oscillometric devices can reach a magnitude that can be relevant for clinical and epidemiological contexts. The here generated conversion formulas may help to improve comparability.

- Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular comorbidity is of increasing importance after transplantation. Metabolic syndrome (MS) contributes to the risk for cardiovascular sequelae. Our aim was to assess the risk for MS in pediatric solid organ and stem cell transplant recipients by comparing them with matched untransplanted peers in a multicenter study., Methods: We prospectively assessed MS in 295 pediatric transplant recipients and compared them with 1475 age- and sex-matched controls., Results: Posttransplant metabolic syndrome (PTMS) was most frequent in lung (43%) and kidney (39%), followed by liver (16%) and stem cell (13%) recipients, compared with nontransplanted peers (4%; P < 0.01). The risk of displaying PTMS was almost 22-fold higher after lung (95% confidence interval, CI, 8.2-57.4), 16-fold higher after kidney (95% CI, 9.1-28.9), 5-fold higher after liver (95% CI, 2.1-10.1), and 4-fold higher after stem cell (95% CI, 1.4-9.5) transplantation. The contribution of individual components leading to MS differed depending on transplant type. In the combined analysis of all transplant groups, older age, less physical activity, calcineurin or mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor-based immunosuppression, and hypovitaminosis D were associated with PTMS., Conclusions: By investigating a large group of patients, our study not only shows a high prevalence of PTMS but also identifies kidney and lung transplant patients as being at a particularly high risk. Moreover, knowledge on the factors associated with PTMS allows for individualized treatment approaches as well as potential preventive measures.
