In rural areas in China and India, the cardiovascular disease burden is high but economic healthcare resources are limited. This study (the Simplified Cardiovascular Management Study [SimCard]) aims to develop evaluate a simplified management program delivered by community health workers with aid of smartphone-based electronic decision support system.The SimCard was yearlong cluster-randomized, controlled trial conducted 47 villages (27 20 India). Recruited for were 2086 individuals risk...
The 2024/25 influenza season in Europe is currently characterised by co-circulation of A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and B/Victoria viruses, with A(H1N1)pdm09 predominating. Interim vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates from eight European studies (17 countries) indicate an all-age A VE 32–53% primary care 33–56% hospital settings, some signals lower subtype higher against B (≥ 58% across settings). Where feasible, vaccination should be encouraged other prevention measures strengthened.
Green space exposure has been positively correlated with better mental-health indicators in several high income countries, but not examined low- and middle-income countries undergoing rapid urbanization. Building on a study of mental health adults pre-existing chronic condition, we the association between park availability major depression among 1208 surveyed Delhi, India. Major was measured using Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. The ArcGIS platform used to quantify indexed as...
The food environment has been implicated as an underlying contributor to the global obesity epidemic. However, few studies have evaluated relationship between environment, dietary intake, and overweight/obesity in low- middle-income countries (LMICs). aim of this study was assess association full service fast restaurant density with intake Delhi, India.Data are from a cross-sectional, population-based conducted Delhi. Using multilevel cluster random sampling, 5364 participants were selected...
Studies in high-income countries have reported associations between oral health and diabetes. There is however a lack of evidence on this association from low middle-income countries, especially India. The current study aimed to assess the prevalence common diseases their with This cross-sectional was nested within second Cardiometabolic Risk Reduction South Asia Surveillance Study. A subset participants residing Delhi were administered World Health Organization's Oral Assessment...
Background: Studies from Tamil Nadu, South India, have reported the world's highest suicide rates. As per official reports, Kerala, another Indian state has rate among major states in India. Objective: The purpose of this analysis is to estimate rates and age-specific incidence a rural community under continuous observation for last five years. Settings Design: study setting comprised seven contiguous panchayats constituting development block Kerala. A prospective cohort design was used....
In India, Kerala has the best health indicators, having experienced dramatic shifts in mortality and fertility. However, pattern not been studied. this article, authors analyze report of PROLIFE cohort (n = 161,942).Data on death were collected through regular home visits using a pretested, structured questionnaire. The data validated by physician. deaths grouped under disease categories ICD 10.Out 4271 recorded during 5 years, diseases circulatory system contributed 40%. Coronary heart was...

Physical such land-use/land-cover data, surface temperature,...
This article aims to study the relationship between socioeconomic position (SEP) and prevalence of self-reported diabetes in a rural population Kerala, India. was designed as cross-sectional survey. Data from PROLIFE, prospective cohort involving long-term follow-up residents an administrative unit India, used. The 33 379 households area were divided into 4 groups (SEP1 SEP4) on basis household assets. Prevalence ascertained through lifestyle questionnaire. proportion highest (at 11.1%)...
Gender differences in the risk of developing non-communicable diseases (NCD) are a matter debate. The susceptibility woman to NCD should be evaluated taking into consideration social factors that limit physical activity among women. It will interesting note what happen if women allowed take part exercise extent men.To find out gender difference pattern clinical and biochemical indices related young adults with comparable daily activity.This is an institution-based cross-sectional study...
Aim. To study the relationship between a personal history of migration and prevalence chronic diseases risk factors in rural population. Method. Cross sectional survey data from PROLIFE, cohort involving long time follow-up residents an administrative unit Kerala, India, was used. Pre-tested questionnaire administered to 78,173 adult residents. Information on physician diagnosed diabetes, hypertension, cardiac lifestyle attributes like physical activity, habits, captured. Results. Subjects...
Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in high income countries. Shortage population based HF studies from Low Middle Income countries (LMIC) make global prevalence estimates difficult. In this editorial we discuss the possibility generating data LMICs by initiating surveillance systems integrated into existing health system.
Identifying Risks M any intensive care units (ICUs) operate near full capacity.Aging populations and limited resources place increasing demands on space personnel, with little capability to adapt episodes of increased workload (Hick et al. 2004).For critically ill patients, day-to-day surges in demand ICU could create an environment risk.Consequences excess workload, such as incidence human error or iatrogenic complications, delays necessary interventions, weaning from mechanical...
Several population-level studies have described individual clinical risk factors associated with suboptimal antibody responses following COVID-19 vaccination, but none examined multimorbidity. Others shown that post-vaccination offer reduced protection to subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, the level of from hospitalisation/death remains unconfirmed. We use national Scottish datasets investigate association between multimorbidity and testing antibody-negative, examining correlation...

Identification of risk factors through screening is an important tool in the fight against chronic diseases. We have used a unique model, named Saantwanam (to console) Malayalam language, for health Kerala, India. Under programme, government selects suitable women care-givers who are trained and equipped by nongovernmental organization loans from public sector bank. After training, deliver services measuring weight height, blood pressure, glucose cholesterol levels people concerned their...

A risk factor for CMD inadequate physical activity (PA). 'Built environment' plays an important role in influencing participation PA. However, relationship between neighbourhood built environment PA has been sparsely investigated Low Middle Incomes Countries. The primary objective present study was to objectively...

Background: Immune responses to COVID-19 vaccines differ between individuals. Identifying characteristics associated with insufficient post-vaccination IgG antibody and describing the association subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection severe outcomes could inform future vaccination strategies. Methods: We linked population-based seroprevalence surveillance data national cohort from Early Pandemic Evaluation Enhanced Surveillance of (EAVE II), comprising primary care, RT-PCR testing, vaccination,...
