Understanding causes and correlates of health loss among children adolescents can identify areas success, stagnation, emerging threats thereby facilitate effective improvement strategies.To estimate mortality morbidity in from 1990 to 2017 by age sex 195 countries territories.This study examined levels, trends, spatiotemporal patterns cause-specific nonfatal outcomes using standardized approaches data processing statistical analysis. It also describes epidemiologic transitions evaluating...
Overweight and obesity are risk factors for many chronic diseases globally. However, the extent of problem in low-income countries like Sub-Saharan Africa is unclear. We assessed magnitude disparity both phenomena by place residence, level education wealth quintile using cross-sectional data from 32 countries.
Neonatal mortality is unacceptably high in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In these countries, where access to emergency obstetric services limited, antenatal care (ANC) utilization offers improved maternal health birth outcomes. However, evidence for this scanty mixed. We explored the association between attendance ANC survival of neonates 57 LMICs.Employing standardized protocols ensure comparison across we used nationally representative cross-sectional data from LMICs (N =...
OBJECTIVE: This study provides the global-, regional- and country-level estimates on work-related burden of diseases accidents for 2019, including deaths, disability adjusted life years (DALY) economic losses. METHODS: Data occupational illnesses injuries from international organizations, institutions, public websites were used. Risk ratios (RR) population attributable fractions (PAF) risk factor-outcome pairs derived literature. Estimated mortality DALY a group seven major covering 120...
A World Health Organization (WHO) and International Labour (ILO) systematic review reported sufficient evidence for higher risk of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) amongst people occupationally exposed to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR). This article presents WHO/ILO Joint Estimates global, regional, national subnational occupational exposures UVR 195 countries/areas the regional attributable burdens NMSC 183 countries, by sex age group, years 2000, 2010 2019.

Background We aimed to assess the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive behavior therapy (MB-CBT) as an intervention reduce burnout among secondary school teachers in Nepal. Methods The baseline survey this randomized controlled trial included 218 from 37 schools Kathmandu. At a one-month follow-up, 192 completed post-test survey. Maslach Burnout Inventory for Educators (MBI-ES) tool was used measure three dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal...
Overweight and obesity are among the leading causes of mortality globally, although previously they were mostly prevalent in developed countries, recent scanty evidence suggests that overweight developing countries have reached high levels. Trends overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m(2)) underweight < 18 from 1993 to 2008 associated factors explored 15 49 years old women Ghana.Nationally representative data used four Demographic Health Surveys conducted Ghana (n = 4562), 1998 4843), 2003 5691)...
Abortion is one of the leading causes maternal death in low- and middle-income countries. In Nepal, abortion reported to be third cause death. We aimed investigate prevalence factors associated with unsafe Nepal.This study based on a nationally representative sample Nepal Demographic Health Survey 2011. Women who had ever terminated pregnancy (n = 2395) were studied. The survey elicited information most recent abortion. Unsafe was defined according providers services. Binary logistic...
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour (ILO) are developing a joint methodology for estimating national global work-related burden of disease injury (WHO/ILO methodology), with contributions from large network experts. In this paper, we present protocol two systematic reviews parameters number disability-adjusted life years osteoarthritis hip or knee, selected other musculoskeletal diseases respectively, attributable to exposure occupational ergonomic risk factors...
The Nordic countries have commonalities in gender equality, economy, welfare, and health care, but differ culture lifestyle, which might create country-wise differences. This study compared life expectancy, disease burden, risk factors the region.
Background Multi-site pain is a common phenomenon among working-age people and it strongly increases work disability risk. Little known about the impact of musculoskeletal on ability.

Abstract Background Injury remains a major concern to public health in the European region. Previous iterations of Global Burden Disease (GBD) study showed wide variation injury death and disability adjusted life year (DALY) rates across Europe, indicating inequality gaps between sub-regions countries. The objectives this were to: 1) compare GBD 2019 estimates on mortality DALYs countries by cause-of-injury category sex; 2) examine changes DALY over 20 year-period category, sub-region...

Work-related musculoskeletal pain is a major occupational problem. Those with in multiple sites usually report worse health outcomes than those one site.This study explored prevalence and associated predictors of multi-site care sector employees.Survey responses from 1348 employees across three organisations (37% response rate) collected data on job satisfaction, work life balance, psychosocial physical hazards, general ability. Musculoskeletal discomfort was measured 5 body regions ≥ 2...
Abstract Background and Method This study set out to identify the factors combinations of associated with individual’s premature death, using data from Finnish Longitudinal Study on Ageing Municipal Employees (FLAME) which involved 6,257 participants over a 29-year follow-up period. Exact dates death were obtained population register. Premature was defined as occurring earlier than age- sex-specific actuarial life expectancy indicated by tables for 1981, baseline, threshold period nine...
The findings regarding mortality risk attributable to psychosocial and physical work demands are inconsistent. Pooled estimates using participant-level data from multiple cohort studies may provide more conclusive evidence. Four prospective conducted in England, Finland, France, the USA were used (age 36-62 years; n = 41 760). We studied 34 903 36 076 individuals who had baseline (1981-2005) information on self-reported demands, respectively. All-cause until year 2018 was ascertained through...
