Filter by:One of the most prevalent chronic disorders in children, especially teenagers, is hypertension . The prevalence of hypertension has significantly increased in recent years, particularly with the rise in obesity. It has been demonstrated that hypertension is a significant, controllable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and that it is linked to atherosclerosis in children. Additionally, in patients with hypertension who were monitored from infancy to adulthood, it was discovered that the unfavorable cardiac alterations and vascular damage linked to hypertension were linked to early cardiovascular disease in adults. Therefore, the key to preventing cardiovascular disease in children and adolescents-especially when risk factors like obesity, diabetes, or chronic renal disease are present-is early diagnosis and effective treatment of hypertension. Insufficient exercise and sedentary lifestyles are additional risk factors for pediatric hypertension.Investigating physical activity barrier in teenage hypertension patients is vital in light of all these factors as well as studies on adolescents' inadequate physical activity. The literature is lacking studies examining the obstacles to physical exercise faced by people with adolescent hypertension, hence this topic is open for investigation.
The primary aim of this study is to assess and quantify the longitudinal impact of a mobile App-based module - FYA-003 - which is a gamified health education module for children promoting nutrition, physical activity, health hygiene, and infectious disease risk reduction within the clinically proven app fooya!, on the dietary and physical activity habits, hygiene practices, clinical outcome measures, and related knowledge of children and their caregivers. The app will be delivered in the classroom setting through school-based health education.
The purpose of this study is to address physical inactivity in rural populations in Pennsylvania.
Check your health is a prevention intervention designed to create awareness and action on health condition with focus at physical activity at a population-level to 30-49 years of age. It consists of a behavioural and clinical examination followed by either (I) referral to a health promoting consultation in general practice (II) targeted behavioural programmes at the local Health Centre or (III ) no need for follow-up; stratified after risk-profile. The CORE trial (Check your health) aim to investigate effectiveness on health and social outcomes of the preventive health check and to establish the cost-effectiveness according to life years gained; direct costs and total health costs. A pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial has been established to meet the aims and in total 10.600 individuals from 35 practices have been randomized in to two groups that will be invited in 2013-14 and 2017-18 respectively. The group offered the preventive health check in 2013-14 will constitute the intervention group and the group examined in 2017 - 18 the control group. A follow up of the intervention group in 2017 - 18 will provide data for the intention to treat analysis revealing the effect. Outcome measures are level of physical activity, risk of getting cardiovascular disease, sick leave and labor market attachment.
