Hypertension can be detected at the primary health-care level and low-cost treatments effectively control hypertension. We aimed to measure prevalence of hypertension progress in its detection, treatment, from 1990 2019 for 200 countries territories.
Abstract Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries parallel with a rise the proportion of population who live cities 1,2 . This led to widely reported view that urbanization is one important drivers global obesity 3–6 Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, measurements height and weight more than 112 million adults, report national, regional trends mean BMI segregated by place residence (a rural or urban area) from 1985 2017.

Abstract High blood cholesterol is typically considered a feature of wealthy western countries 1,2 .

These changes can have distinct effects on levels high-density lipoprotein (HDL) non-HDL cholesterol, which different human health 4,5 trends HDL over time not been previously reported in global analysis. Here we pooled 1,127 population-based studies...
ObjectiveVerbal autopsy (VA) is a systematic approach for determining causes of death (CoD) in populations without routine medical certification. It has mainly been used research contexts and involved relatively lengthy interviews. Our objective here to describe the process shorten, simplify, standardise VA make it feasible application on larger scale such as civil registration vital statistics (CRVS) systems.MethodsA literature review existing instruments was undertaken. The World Health...
Millennium Development Goal 5 has not been universally achieved, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding whether maternal deaths occur during pregnancy, childbirth, or puerperium is important to effectively plan health programs and allocate resources. Our main research objectives are (1) describe the proportions rates of mortality for antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum periods; (2) document how these trends vary by sub-region; (3) investigate ecological correlations between care...
Abstract Optimal growth and development in childhood adolescence is crucial for lifelong health well-being 1–6 . Here we used data from 2,325 population-based studies, with measurements of height weight 71 million participants, to report the body-mass index (BMI) children adolescents aged 5–19 years on basis rural urban place residence 200 countries territories 1990 2020. In 1990, residing cities were taller than their counterparts all but a few high-income countries. By 2020, advantage...

Coverage of civil registration and vital statistics varies globally, with most deaths in Africa Asia remaining either unregistered or registered without cause death. One important constraint has been a lack fit-for-purpose tools for registering assigning causes situations where no doctor is involved. Verbal autopsy (interviewing care-givers witnesses to interpreting their information into death) the only available solution. Automated interpretation verbal data death essential rapid,...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the contribution of contraceptive failure to unintended births and fetal loss in developing countries. METHODS: Nationally representative survey data from married women 19 countries were analyzed. All surveys contained retrospective monthly calendars use pregnancies for a 5-year period preceding each survey. Information on intendedness live births, ascertained earlier interview, linked calendar data. Single-decrement life table analysis was applied episodes...
Background— The prevalence of ischemia and its prediction events are unclear in outpatients with diabetes mellitus the modern era intensive medical management. We sought to identify ischemia, subsequent cardiac events, impact sex, stress type, symptom status on these findings a cohort stable referred for single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Methods Results— study included 575 consecutive who underwent quantitative, gated MPI. Clinical information,...
Abstract Background Equity is a guiding principle of the Global Strategy for Women, Children and Adolescents’ Health (2016–2030) aimed at improving adolescent health responding more effectively to adolescents’ needs. We investigated socioeconomic differentials in having multiple sexual partners condom use among unmarried adolescents who reported ever had sex aged 15–19 years 14 sub-Saharan countries. Methods Using most recent publicly available Demographic Surveys conducted between 2011...

Limited information is available in Iraq regarding the causes of under-five mortality. The vital registration system deficient its coverage, particularly from rural areas where access to health services limited and most deaths occur at home, i.e. outside system, hence cause death goes unreported. Knowledge patterns trends mortality essential for decision-makers assessing programmatic needs, prioritizing interventions, monitoring progress. aim this study was identify children using a...
