Socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, particularly cultural fruition, are associated with frailty independently from functional impairment and low physical activity. Cultural habits may therefore represent a new target of multimodal interventions against geriatric frailty.

Abstract:In this paper the authors aim to discuss a series of surveys conducted over the past two years through web-survey, through which issues related to eating disorders have been scrutinized with the objective of giving a portrait as to the several aspects concerning those who live in a state of distress by cause of chronic diseases. The methodology employed makes use of statistical techniques widely recognized in the scientific field. The main purpose is to understand if the new techniques of study born to the web 2.0 are valid as classical techniques, with particular attention to the break-off phenomenon (total and partial dropouts) as well as the response and cooperation rates, in order to understand how these may still be valid in contexts web 2.0. The results are encouraging, the rates examined and the percentage emerged from error sampling makes us think that we snatched the dragonfly on the grass.

This paper aims to deepen the quality of life of people with celiac disease with a focus on compliance to the diet through Principle Component Analysis and Analyse des Données. In particular, we will try to understand whether these analyzes are also applicable in the context of research web2.0 carried out with web-survey.

Abstract. This paper aims to explore the new opportunities offered by the web 2.0, with particular emphasis on the level of intrusiveness concerning web surveys and their different methods of administration. Particular attention will be drawn to the Apps and the way they intervene in the research design to give the researchers the opportunity to learn about the preferences and the consultations which are mostly relevant to the users, thanks to the analysis carried out by data mining and web survey.

After some time since the onset of the Covid19 pandemic, we believe it is now possible to reflect on how the global response to the worldwide spread of the virus has been organized, and at the same time reflect on the emergency approach that has characterized the responses on the health front but also the public communication of the same pandemic. The hypothesis around which we work is that the term of emergency itself is not appropriate except to designate a sit-uation that is strictly related to a reductionist approach to understanding and explaining phenomena. An event becomes an emergency only if we reason in terms of a linear explanation, avoiding paying attention to the real complexity of the phenomena, with a comprehensive look at systemic interrelationships. In this perspective, Horton correctly proposed the term syndemic to characterize the set of events related to Covid19 (Horton, 2020). Because the unexpected, which is experienced and managed as an emergency, arises from an obvious interpretative error if the problem is not addressed with a systemic logic. And it can perhaps also be hypothe-sized that as such - that is, as unexpected and emerging - any phenomenon legitimizes proce-dural and communicative errors, thus exonerating in some way whoever is responsible for facing them.
