Background: Inattention and impulsivity are common causes of accidents and injury. The aim of the current study was to examine the level of attention deficit (AD), hyperactivity, and impulsivity (HI) in individuals with and without self-reported impaired wound healing (IWH). Methods: A survey was conducted among N = 773 Dutch young adults, 18–30 years old. N = 198 were allocated to the IWH group and N = 575 to the control group. All participants completed the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Rating Scale. Results: The analysis revealed that the IWH group has significantly higher scores on AD and HI, compared to the control group. Among the IWH group, 12.8% screened positive for AD (compared to 5.8% of the control group) and 14.0% screened positive for HI (compared to 7.4% of the control group). Conclusion: Clinically relevant increased inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity were observed among individuals with self-reported impaired wound healing.

“…For the present analysis, data on sex, height, age, and perceived immune fitness from various studies were pooled [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ]. Studies were included if immune fitness was assessed with the immune status questionnaire (ISQ) and/or single item perceived immune fitness scale.…”

In addition to developing effective medicines and vaccines, pandemic preparedness also comprises general health-related, behavioral, and psychological aspects related to being more resistant in the case of future pandemics. In the context of the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, recent research revealed that reduced perceived immune fitness was the best predictor of reporting more frequent and more severe COVID-19 symptoms. Up until now (June 2022), during the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of patients who have been hospitalized were characterized as being overweight. It is therefore essential to further evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and immune fitness. This was performed by analyzing pooled data from previously published studies, conducted among N = 8586 Dutch adults. It was hypothesized that attaining a normal, healthy body weight is associated with optimal perceived immune fitness. The analysis revealed that a deviation from normal weight (i.e., having a BMI outside the range of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2) was associated with significantly reduced perceived immune fitness, as assessed with the immune status questionnaire and a single item perceived immune fitness scale. The effects were significant for both underweight and overweight groups and most pronounced for the obese groups. The results suggest that attaining a normal, healthy body weight might significantly contribute to maintaining adequate perceived immune fitness. Therefore, attaining a normal body weight might be an essential component of pandemic preparedness and should be supported by creating awareness and promoting the importance of regular exercise and the consumption of healthy food.

“…For the current analysis we combined and re-evaluated data of 3613 participants of 4 surveys that were conducted among Dutch university students, aged 18 to 30 years old [13][14][15][16]. Two of the surveys were conducted via Facebook and designed by using www.surveymonkey.com [14,16] and the other two were in paper-pencil format [13,15]. The University of Groningen Psychology Ethics Committee approved the study by Van Schrojenstein Lantman et al (Approval code: 16072-O) [14], and the study by Sulzer et al [16] was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences of Utrecht University granted ethical approval (approval code FETC17-061).…”

The current study examined to what extent individuals with wound infection (WI group), slow healing wounds (SHW group), or both (COMBI group) report poorer immune fitness and whether they experience immune-related complaints more often as compared to healthy participants (control group). Survey data from 3613 Dutch students was re-analyzed. Compared to the control group, perceived immune fitness was significantly lower by the SHW group (p < 0.001) and the COMBI group (p < 0.001), but no difference was found for the WI group (p = 0.059). Also, perceived immune fitness of the COMBI group was significantly worse compared to the WI group (p = 0.040). Compared to the control group, reduced immune fitness was reported to be significantly more frequently by the SHW group (p < 0.001) and the COMBI group (p < 0.001). Reduced immune fitness was significantly more common for the COMBI group compared to the SHW group (p = 0.011) and WI group (p = 0.001). Immune-related complaints such as headache, runny nose, coughing, sore throat, diarrhea, flu, and fever were significantly more frequently reported by individuals with impaired wound healing. The effects were most pronounced in the COMBI group, followed by the SHW group and a lesser extent the WI group. A highly significant correlation was found between perceived immune fitness and the percentage of individuals that reported impaired wound healing. In conclusion, the findings confirm that poorer immune functioning is characteristic for individuals with impaired wound healing. In follow-up studies, immune biomarkers analyses are needed to support patient-reported outcome measures.
