BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The oldest adults faced the highest risk of death and hospitalization from COVID-19, but less is known about whether they also were the most likely to experience pandemic-related economic, health care, and mental health

Young age and high vitamin D plasma levels have been associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 infection risk and favourable disease outcomes. This study investigated mechanisms associated with differential responses to SARS-CoV-2 across age groups and

The American Cancer Society collaborated with a range of healthcare partners in 2020-2022 to implement quality improvement clinical interventions with the goal of improving HPV vaccination rates among adolescents' ages 9-13. 2020 was the first cohort

INTRODUCTION: The key to understanding the COVID-19 correlates of protection is assessing vaccine-induced immunity in different demographic groups. Young people are at a lower risk of COVID-19 mortality, females are at a lower risk than males, and

Creativity is an important skill that relates to innovation, problem-solving and artistic achievement. However, relatively little is known about the early development of creative potential in very young children, in part due to a paucity of tasks

COVID-19 incidence disparities have been documented in the literature, but the different driving factors among age groups have yet to be explicitly explained. This study proposes a community-based COVID-19 spatial disparity model, considering

CONCLUSIONS: The secondary attack rate depends on the school level and therefore on the age. Super-spreading events (outbreaks of 5 cases or more) in childhood were rare, only occurring in 2.5% of all infections triggered from a pediatric index case.

Pathology studies of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants of concern (VOC) are challenged by the lack of pathogenic animal models. While Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 replicate in K18-hACE2 transgenic mice, they cause minimal to negligible morbidity and mortality

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is potentially pathogenic and causes severe symptoms; in addition to respiratory syndromes, patients might experience other severe conditions such as digestive complications and liver
