Abstract

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a reproductive health problem closely associated with socioeconomic conditions. Economic downturns can hinder access to timely sexual health services, condoms, and treatment, potentially increasing vulnerability to STIs. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between perceived socioeconomic decline and self-reported STI diagnosis among sexually active adults. Methods: This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were sexually active adults who met the eligibility criteria. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing perceived economic decline, sexual history, and STI diagnosis status. The association between economic decline and STI occurrence was analyzed using the chi-square test, and the prevalence ratio (PR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was reported. Results: This study involved 92 subjects, with a mean age of 30.49 ± 6.00 years. The proportion of STIs in the group experiencing economic decline was 31.3%, whereas the proportion in the group without economic decline was 10.7%. Perceived economic decline was associated with STI prevalence (PR = 2.917; 95% CI: 0.943–9.023; p = 0.036), although the CI crossing 1.0 warrants cautious interpretation. Conclusion: Economic downturn was associated with the incidence of STIs. Further research is recommended using a prospective design with multivariate analysis and clinically confirmed STI diagnoses. These findings have implications for public health practice, particularly in designing STI prevention programs that integrate economic support components and address socioeconomic vulnerabilities. Health policymakers should consider incorporating STI screening and education into social protection programs targeting economically distressed populations.

Abstract

Aesthetic procedures are increasingly performed worldwide and are associated with improved appearance satisfaction and quality of life. The success of aesthetic procedures is no longer measured solely by objective clinical outcomes but is increasingly evaluated using patient-reported outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate changes in quality of life before and after facial aesthetic surgery and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. This online survey-based pre-post analytical observational study used a structured questionnaire administered to adults aged 18 years or older who had undergone surgical or non-surgical facial cosmetic procedures within the previous 3–12 months. Quality of life was assessed using three FACE-Q domains: Appearance (23 items), Health-Related Quality of Life (10 items), and Adverse Effects (6 items), with each domain scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 100. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. A total of 180 patients were included in the analysis (mean age, 30.26 ± 8.24 years; 53.9% underwent non-surgical procedures, and 46.1% underwent surgical procedures). Appearance scores improved from 52.48 ± 7.97 to 83.89 ± 8.02, Health-Related Quality of Life scores improved from 51.22 ± 8.74 to 84.12 ± 7.62, and Adverse Effects scores improved from 47.73 ± 8.79 to 80.92 ± 8.74 (all p < 0.001). Improvements in the non-surgical group were +32.23, +33.75, and +32.81 points, respectively, whereas the surgical group demonstrated improvements of +30.46, +31.90, and +33.61 points, respectively (all p < 0.001). Post-treatment scores were comparable between the non-surgical and surgical groups for Appearance (84.81 vs. 82.81; p = 0.094), Health-Related Quality of Life (85.08 vs. 82.99; p = 0.066), and Adverse Effects (80.49 vs. 81.41; p = 0.485). Overall, both surgical and non-surgical facial cosmetic procedures resulted in substantial and comparable improvements in appearance satisfaction and quality of life, supporting patient-reported outcomes as a key indicator of successful aesthetic treatment.
