“…Our initial findings showed that as age increases, so rises the likelihood of hospitalization, which is consistent with previous studies suggesting that older persons consume more healthcare resources [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Furthermore, our study showed that, without taking into account the residence country, having a medium or high comorbidity increases the risk of hospitalization, which is consistent with the findings of Suarez-García et al [ 4 ] and Ku et al [ 2 ].…”

Individuals’ lifestyles play an important role in healthcare costs. A large part of these costs is derived from hospitalizations. With the aim of determine the relationship between lifestyle and the likelihood of hospitalization and associate costs in older adults, this study used the Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe. Generalized regression models for panel data were developed and adjusted hospitalization costs derived from the length of hospital stay were also estimated. The average adjusted cost of hospitalization was I$ 9901.50 and the analyses showed that performing weekly physical activity significantly reduces the probability of hospitalization (OR: 0.624) and its costs (I$ 2594.5 less per person per year than subjects who never performed physical activity). Muscle strength plays an important role in this relationship and eating habits are not of great significance. Furthermore, we found interesting differences in the frequency and costs of hospitalization between subjects by country.

“…As people age, the likelihood of developing disabilities and comorbidities increases. For example, various authors showed that older adults consume more health resources than the general population [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. According to Hewitt et al, older persons suffer multimorbidity, explaining 74% of health resource consumption [ 9 ].…”

“…Relatedly, there are the large amount of resources (of all kinds) that health systems must use to reduce the increasing prevalence of these complications; thus, it is difficult to definitively calculate the amount of resources used in the treatment of these complications. 19,20 From a scientific, clinical, and even real-world perspective, it is important to understand that factors present in the life of pregnant women can help prevent the aforementioned tears, thereby improving the well-being of the pregnant woman, especially in her postpartum stage. Among the mitigating factors of these tears, physical activity has been identified as a possible intervening agent.…”

Complex processes such as pregnancy and childbirth can be decisive for the health and well-being of both the mother and newborn, both during the process and in their life thereafter. 1,2 During 9 months, almost the entire body of a pregnant woman must change to create an environment adequate for fetal growth and development. It cannot be guaranteed that these changes will occur successfully because there are many alterations and pathologies related to the nature of pregnancy that can develop. Accordingly, the risk of complications with pregnancy is high, but there are several factors in a woman's environment that can increase or decrease this risk. 3 According to numerous scientific studies, modern lifestyles have negative effects on pregnancy, which affect the health of the mother, newborn and infant, and in some cases, all aspects of the human being. 4,5 Thus, the gestational period is a very risky period in a woman's life.

“…This situation, in turn, causes overcrowding and increased health expenditures (e.g., by consuming greater resources, running diagnostic tests, etc.) (Aguado et al, 2012;de Bont et al, 2015;Ertmann, Reventlow, & Söderström, 2011;Walsh & Edwards, 2006). Due to the importance of this phenomenon, this study focuses on issues related to the behavior of parents seeking care for childhood fever.…”

Purpose To explore the behavior of parents, with and without health training, seeking care from emergency services due to their child’s fever. Design and Setting A qualitative study based on Grounded Theory using a triangulated sample (theoretical sampling and snowball sampling) of parents of children 0 to 12 years old who received care for fever in the emergency primary care services of two Spanish municipalities. Methods Data saturation was achieved after eight focus groups segmented by gender, place of residence, and education (57 participants). Data analysis followed the constant comparative method and coding process. Findings The parents attended the emergency department when fever was high or persistent and to determine the cause. The reasons for avoiding the emergency department differed; whereas the health professional parents avoided consulting other colleagues as they felt questioned, for parents who were not healthcare professionals, there was a fear of acquiring an infection. Conclusions Parents’ search for healthcare differs according to their background and education. Clinical Relevance These results provide key information for the design of care plans to improve health care and patient satisfaction.
