We conducted a systematic review of observational studies to examine the effects of body mass index (BMI) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 ) on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched. Sixteen articles were finally included in the meta-analysis, and a random effects model was used. BMI was found to be higher in patients with severe disease than in those with mild or moderate disease (MD 1.6, 95% CI, 0.8-2.4; p = .0002) in China; however, the heterogeneity was high (I2 = 75%). Elevated BMI was associated with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) use (MD 4.1, 95% CI, 2.1-6.1; p < .0001) in Western countries, and this result was consistent across studies (I2 = 0%). Additionally, there were increased odds ratios of IMV use (OR 2.0, 95% CI, 1.4-2.9; p < .0001) and hospitalization (OR 1.4, 95% CI, 1.3-1.60; p < .00001) in patients with obesity. There was no substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 0%). In conclusion, obesity or high BMI increased the risk of hospitalization, severe disease and invasive mechanical ventilation in COVID-19. Physicians must be alert to these early indicators to identify critical patients.

This passage, touching upon the issues of high mortality and the low birth rate, and commenting on drug abuse and alcoholism and on immigration policy, is reproduced below. The president expressed confidence that by creating conditions to “encourage people to have children, lower the mortality rate and bring order to immigration,” the size of the Russian population will gradually stabilize. (The United Nations medium population projection for Russia, which assumes gradual improvement of fertility and mortality, reaching a TFR of 1.85 and an expectation of life of 72 years by the 2040s, as well as net immigration exceeding 2 million persons, foresees a decline from the current 143 million to 112 million by 2050.)

The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews – issue 1 2013

INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS in the aggregate have been consistent net sellers of common stock since the early 1960's. The trend has been away from direct, and toward indirect, investment in such securities.' One plausible explanation of this phenomenon is that individuals believe that the returns they can obtain from self-managed portfolios are inferior to those available from portfolios managed by professionals. While the evolving evidence on institutional/professional investment performance is decidedly mixed, it is conceivable that individuals may still consider themselves, and may in fact be, either less well informed, less skillful, or disadvantaged because of higher transactions costs [18, 23]. One obvious way to evaluate this interpretation of the "withdrawal" phenomenon is simply to compare the investment track record of individuals and institutions. We offer here an analysis of a set of data which allows, for the first time, just such a comparison.2 Specifically, we report on the rates of return earned by a large and diverse sample of individual investors from their common stock portfolios over the seven-year interval 1964 through 1970. These rates of return are contrasted to those which would have been generated during the same interval by both naively-selected portfolios of matching systematic risk and investments in a sample of mutual funds. The findings indicate that, on average, the individual investors studied obtained returns commensurate with the amount of systematic risk they assumed, as did the mutual funds in the sample. The argument that professional portfolio managers are more successful in selecting securities than individual investors is therefore not supported by the evidence. These conclusions are seen to be little affected by alternative procedures for rate-of-return measurement, and to be consistent with previous analyses of the investment behavior of the same sample [16, 21] which were undertaken from a different perspective.

Some of the better known products, such as Current Contents, UnCoverWeb, zetoc, etc., offer a current awareness service across several thousand journals and cover all major disciplines. Although such services are fairly up-to-date in their coverage, nonetheless e-mail table of content (e-toc) alerts received directly from publishers’ sites are often far more so, occasionally providing information in advance of publication. A further major advantage of registering to receive e-toc alerts directly from the publisher is the ability to click and go from the e-mail message straight to the full text of selected journal articles, wherever hypertext links are provided from the e-toc alert message. This ability to directly view a full text article of interest makes for a service that is becoming increasingly popular with researchers and scientists in biomedicine. In the article that follows, Steven Glover describes precisely how such publisher-based e-toc alert services have been promoted in a busy research institute environment, with the Library taking a lead in integrating them with the range of full text journals to which a subscription is available. With the model described here, the level of current awareness service provision is developed beyond that possible with a traditional paper-based approach. Furthermore, such a model is also capable of generating information that may be used by the Library in maintaining or expanding its existing journal subscription base. The benefits to the user are particularly highlighted below. References 1 Current Contents . <http://www.isinet.com/isi/products/>. Google Scholar 2 UnCoverWeb . <http://uncweb.carl.org/>.
