Filter by:This is a cross-sectional study carried out on a sample of the adult population aged 18 to 69, distributed over the five archipelagos of French Polynesia. Participation in the study involves: agreement to answer a questionnaire to collect information on socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits and medical history; physical measurements (height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and skin pigmentation); and agreement to take biological samples (blood, saliva and stool) for biological, genetic and microbiological analyses. The aim of the study is to assess the current health status of the population of French Polynesia and to evaluate the influence of contextual risk factors (lifestyle, place of residence, history of infection) and intrinsic susceptibility factors (genetics, age, gender, microbiota) in relation to non-communicable and infectious diseases.
Estonia's aging population faces an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and a growing population suffers with multiple chronic conditions. These changes have reduced well-being and quality of life for many older Estonians, while increasing the use of high cost specialist and emergency care. In response, the Estonia Health Insurance Fund (EHIF) is working to support primary care physicians to improve care for complex patients with multiple chronic conditions. A new EHIF-led program, Enhanced Care Management (ECM), entails training family physicians to identify complex patients, co-develop proactive care plans with them, and to undertake more active outreach to and management of these patients.
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 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 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 aim of this study is to determine whether a Strengthening our Vows (SOV) intervention will reduce HIV exposures from concurrent partnership (CP) when compared to the control Good Health Package Plus (GHPP), in addition to couples' voluntary HIV counseling and testing (CVCT), among concordant HIV-negative couples living in Zambia.
A national cross-sectional survey was conducted to evaluate recommendations on clinical preventive services and additional information on non-communicable disease prevention. Trained surveyors interviewed interns, residents and attendings of the Internal Medicine departments of all teaching hospitals in Guatemala. Analysis compared recommendation practices within and between hospitals.
