RESUMEN
We know that suicide is preventable, yet hundreds of thousands of people still die due to suicide every year. Many interventions were proven to be effective, and dozens of others showed promising results. However, translating these interventions into new settings brings several challenges. One of the crucial obstacles to success is not anticipating possible barriers to implementation nor enhancing possible benefits of factors facilitating the implementation. While we witnessed great support for suicide prevention activities globally in the past years, implementation barriers and facilitating factors are yet to be comprehensively mapped to help implementation activities worldwide. This scoping review maps current knowledge on facilitators and barriers to the implementation of suicide prevention interventions while using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) for classification. We included 64 studies. Barriers and facilitators were most commonly identified in the outer setting CFIR domain, namely in the sub-domain of patient needs and resources, which refers to the way in which these needs and resources are reflected by the reviewed interventions. The second most saturated CFIR domain for facilitators was intervention characteristics, where relative advantage, adaptability and cost of intervention sub-domains were equally represented. These sub-domains refer mostly to how the intervention is perceived by key stakeholders, to what extent it can be tailored to the implementation context and how much it costs. While intervention characteristics domain was the second most common also for barriers, the complexity sub-domain referring to high perceived difficulty of implementation was the most frequently represented. With reference to the results, we recommend adapting interventions to the needs of the target groups. Furthermore, carefully selecting the intervention to suit the target context concerning their adaptability, costs and complexity is vital for a successful implementation. Further implications for practice and research are discussed.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported that carriers of the 103I allele of the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene had lower body weight than did persons with the wild-type genotype. A recent study found an association of the MC4R 103I variant with carbohydrate intake, which may mediate some of the association of this variant with leanness. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between the MC4R V103I polymorphism and the dietary intake of persons with severe obesity, which was derived by using the Willett food-frequency questionnaire. DESIGN: The MC4R V103I polymorphism was genotyped in a group of 1029 severely obese white subjects with an average body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)) of 46.0 (range: 33-92). RESULTS: Carriers of the 103I allele had significantly higher daily energy (364 kcal/d or 19%; P = 0.03) and carbohydrate (57 g/d or 27%; P = 0.01) intakes than did noncarriers, but there was no relation with BMI. No notable association of this polymorphism with lipid and glucose variables of the metabolic syndrome was observed. CONCLUSIONS: The higher dietary intake of carbohydrates in severely obese persons with the MC4R 103I variant is in line with previous findings. It may indicate a differential effect on body size measures in extremely obese subjects as compared with the general population.

OBJECTIVE: A previous epidemiological study showed an association of the insulin-induced gene 2 (INSIG2) gene with BMI. Additionally, experimental investigations in animals and cell culture provided evidence that this gene might be involved in lipoprotein and free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the association between the rs7566605 variant near the INSIG2 gene and BMI and to extend it to other quantitative measures of obesity, as well as parameters of lipoprotein and FFA metabolism. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: We genotyped rs7566605 in a group of severely obese white patients (n = 1,026) with an average BMI of 46.0 kg/m(2) and a control group (n = 818) from Utah, as well as in the Salzburg Atherosclerosis Prevention Program in Subjects at High Individual Risk (SAPHIR) study from Austria, which is based on a healthy working population (n = 1,696). RESULTS: We observed no difference in the genotype frequency of rs7566605 of INSIG2 between obese subjects and population-based controls from Utah. Furthermore, we did not find evidence of an association with measures of body composition (BMI, waist, waist-to-hip ratio, percentage body fat, amount of visceral and subcutaneous abdominal adipose fat) or lipoprotein metabolism (total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and FFAs) in the Utah study population or in the independent SAPHIR study. DISCUSSION: Our results do not support an association of the INSIG2 gene with the regulation of body weight or parameters related to lipoprotein metabolism.

AIMS: Intermittent claudication (IC) is the most common symptom of peripheral arterial disease and is associated with an increased mortality. Within the Erfurt Male Cohort (ERFORT) Study, one of the most long-lasting population-based prospective cohort studies in Europe, we investigated (i) which variables predict the development of incident IC determined by the WHO Rose questionnaire over a period of 15 years and (ii) if IC is predictive for 30 years all-cause mortality. METHODS: The baseline survey examined a random population-based sample of 1160 males aged 40-59 years with three follow-up examinations 5, 10 and 15 years after enrollment using each time the Rose questionnaire. RESULTS: An adjusted Cox regression analysis revealed smoking (HR (95% CI), 2.20 (1.24-3.92), p=0.01), diabetes mellitus (HR (95% CI), 4.68 (1.61-13.63), p=0.01) and coronary heart disease (HR (95% CI), 2.74 (1.08-6.96), p=0.03) to be significantly associated with incident IC. Participants with an IC had an significantly increased age-adjusted 30 years all-cause mortality (HR (95% CI), 1.56 (1.16-2.10), p=0.003). This association remained still significantly predictive after adjustment for other cardiovascular risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: Mainly smoking and diabetes mellitus are associated with incident IC. A positive Rose questionnaire is a strong predictor for all-cause mortality over 30 years. The simplicity of their use makes questionnaires highly attractive for identification of high-risk patients in primary health care.
