Filter by:This study was planned within the scope of the call titled "Non-communicable diseases risk reduction in adolescence and youth (Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases - GACD)" with identity number HORIZON-HLTH-2022-DISEASE-07-03. The purpose of this project; is to determine the effect of the Metaverse-Based Healthy Life Program to be developed in the project to support youths in decreasing future risks of developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and in gaining healthy lifestyle behaviors (HLBs).
This mixed-methods formative research study aims to adapt the WHO Package of Essential Noncommunicable Disease Interventions (WHO-PEN) approach for the Zambian public health system, and pilot test an adapted, streamlined, and task-shifted package of integrated HIV Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) services, collectively called "TASKPEN".
Hong Kong is facing an increasing threat of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which is compounded by population aging. In 2016, 25,771 registered deaths (approximately 55%) were attributed to NCDs. In addition, NCDs caused 104,600 potential years of life lost before 70 years of age. WHO has identified four major behavioral risk factors - tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, an unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity - that contribute substantially to NCDs and can increase the risk of death. Most premature deaths from NCDs are preventable via lifestyle modification. Therefore, helping people adopting healthy lifestyle practices, such as having a balanced diet and engaging in irregular physical activity, and quitting health-risk behaviors, such as smoking and harmful use of alcohol can help prevent NCDs and improve the quality of life and overall health of the population. However, many people are unmotivated or find it difficult to modify their risk behaviors, despite their awareness of the associated health hazards.
This is an academic evaluation of a program being implemented by the Ambuja Cement Foundation (ACF). The aim of the evaluation is to determine the effect of the ACF noncommunicable disease (NCD) program on (1) fasting blood glucose (a biomarker of diabetes), (2) systolic blood pressure, (3) diastolic blood pressure, and (4) body weight. ACF will be implementing a program on NCD management. Due to resource constraints, the program will be implemented stepwise (e.g. four villages in the first 6 months then an additional four villages added every 6 months over the next 12 months). In order to improve the interpretation of the evaluation data, the team will randomize the order in which the program is implemented in the 12 villages. The design is therefore a stepped wedge randomized cluster trial. This design is ideal for (1) minimizing the practical, logistical, and financial constraints associated with large-scale project implementation, (2) control for the effect of time, and (3) ensure that all villages in the project are eventually offered the intervention.
This study aims to control risk factors of non communicable diseases by life style and care intervention based on internet technology, looking forward to improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, diabetes and all-cause death.
This study focuses on mechanisms to adapt the performance of interactive voice response (IVR) and computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) surveys conducted in low-and middle-income (LMIC) setting (Bangladesh) and evaluates how the two survey modalities (IVR and CATI) affect survey metrics, including response, completion and attrition rates.
The overall goal of the proposal is to improve capacity for detection and management of non-communicable diseases and geriatric syndromes in the aging HIV population in sub-Saharan Africa
The study carried out in 2012-2014 years. The aim was to evaluate the prevalence of CVD and their RF in different regions of the Russian Federation and to develop epidemiological models of the CVD risk profile for the population based on traditional factors, as well as to assess the contribution of traditional and "new" cardiovascular risk factors to the mortality rate of the country's population based on domestic data. Thirteen regions were included. We examined 22,906 males and females, aged 25-64 years. The examination consist of anthropometry; the measurement of BP, resting heart rate, and a 12-lead standard electrocardiography (ECG) in a supine position. The personal interview information was collected using a structured questionnaire, and included socio-demographic and socio-economic measures; health parameters; medical history; stress, and depression. Continued monitoring of mortality, the latest mortality update includes deaths through 2019.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a digital, person-centered stroke prevention program with a focus on primary prevention. The program is aiming to enable lifestyle change and to promote healthy activity patterns to decrease risk factors for stroke and in that way prevent future stroke.
The investigators hypothesize that long-term fermented high-fibre rye intake may reduce the Helicobacter pylori infection through dampening inflammation and thereby leading to lower adherence of the bacteria to surfaces.The investigators further hypothesize that that inflammation could be a potential causal link between HP infection and insulin resistance, a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
