We aimed to assess global, regional, national-level burdens trends in tuberculosis its risk factors across five separate groups, from 1990 2021, report age-specific between 2015 2020. <h3>Methods</h3> used Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2021 (GBD 2021) analytical framework compute...
Background The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends ongoing surveillance of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors, using the WHO STEPwise approach to (STEPS). aim this study was assess distribution determinants NCD factors in Nepal, a low-income country, which two-thirds (66%) annual deaths are attributable NCDs. Methods A nationally representative STEPS survey (instrument version 3.2), conducted between February May 2019, among 6,475 eligible participants age 15–69...
Abstract The health sector plays an important role in the delivery of high‐quality nutrition interventions to women and children low‐ middle‐income countries (LMICs). However, there are no standardized approaches defining measuring service quality these contexts. This study aims systematically develop care indices for direct systems using a five‐step process: (1) identify recommended inclusion indices, (2) extract readiness, provision care, experience items from intervention‐specific...

Abstract Hypertension, diabetes, and obesity are three widely recognized drivers of dementia risk. However, the dose-response relationships between continuous indicators these conditions incidence mortality have not been quantified systematically. The Burden Proof methodology, a meta-analytic framework developed by Institute for Health Metrics Evaluation, enables robust estimation along exposure ranges, considers between-study heterogeneity, comparisons strength evidence risk-outcome pairs....
Abstract Background Apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) has been identified as the major genetic risk factor for late onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Our lab demonstrated that chronic administration of Aβ12‐28P, a synthetic peptide blocks apoE4/Aβ binding, in middle‐aged transgenic AD mice significantly ameliorates pathology progression, resulting reduced Aβ plaques deposition and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) along with improved memory cognition. However, whether blocking interaction by Aβ12‐28P...
Salvation Army opened its first non-profit, retail food store, DMG Foods, on March 2018, in Baltimore, MD. Foods aims to have the lowest prices neighborhood and make healthful options affordable low-income households; currently, however, store's reach is limited with only 100–150 customers daily, an average transaction of $14. This study determine reasons for low use produce potential solutions that will improve consumer purchasing behavior. Mixed-methods formative research was conducted at...
Many low and middle income country (LMIC) decision makers rely on data from multi-topic household surveys to identify the proportion of population that has been reached with nutrition services, but these do not always account for quality services. Effective coverage cascades, commonly used in health systems research, capture measures both generate actionable information improve programs, interventions, policies. This study aims describe operationalization effective cascades maternal child...
