High impact information on Health Fairs

  • RESULTS: Children in families headed by single mothers, Black children, and those living below 150% of the poverty index were much more likely to be in poor or fair health than children in two-parent families, White children, or those in more affluent families [1].
  • Between March 19 and March 28, 1993, 1716 men aged 40 to 79 years from eastern Nebraska who participated in "The Health Fair of the Midlands" provided blood for serum PSA determination [2].
  • SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The Berg Balance Test was used to classify fall risk in 68 individuals aged 57 to 89 years who were attending a community health fair [3].
  • An experimental evaluation of an incentive program to reduce serum cholesterol levels among health fair participants [4].
  • METHODS: Cervical samples were obtained from 471 women attending health fairs in rural El Salvador [5].
 

Associations of Health Fairs with chemical compounds

  • The aim of this study was to determine exhaled acetonitrile levels in a sample of 268 volunteers (48 smokers, 220 non-smokers) attending a local health fair [6].
  • Health fairs and smokeout contests were enthusiastically received and resulted in short-term cessation verified by exhaled carbon monoxide levels [7].
 

Gene context of Health Fairs

  • RESULTS: Forty peri- and postmenopausal women were recruited through hospital fliers (n = 25) and a community health fair (n = 15) [8].
  • Implementation of a campus nursing and health information center in the baccalaureate curriculum. Part II: center project health fairs [9].
