Background Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an important marker of current and future health status. The primary aim our study was to evaluate the impact a time-efficient school-based intervention on older adolescents’ CRF. Methods Two-arm cluster randomised controlled trial conducted in two cohorts (February 2018 February 2019 2020) New South Wales, Australia. Participants (N=670, 44.6% women, 16.0±0.43 years) from 20 secondary schools: 10 schools (337 participants) were Burn 2 Learn...
Stroke survivors report significant levels of psychological distress post stroke. To date, most studies conducted have focused on the relationship between stress and functional outcomes in acute phase However, no had considered role over chronic phase, where may continue to exert negative effects cognitive processes. Further, potentially modulatory variables, such as resilience, stroke has been understudied. The purpose this study was consider relationships resilience with long-term People...
ObjectiveWe have shown increased whole blood viscosity (WBV), decreased erythrocyte deformability, and aggregation in metabolic syndrome (MetS) our previous study. The objective of the study was to find out if altered hemorheology MetS is associated with chronic inflammation oxidative stress same subjects.MethodsOne hundred recruited participants were classified into three groups based on number components present following National Cholesterol Education Program, Adult Treatment Panel III...
Community health workers, also known as extension workers (HEWs), play an important role in promotion. This study evaluates HEWs’ knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy for non-communicable diseases (NCD) HEWs (n = 203) completed a structured questionnaire on behaviour, NCD risk perception. Regression analysis was used to determine the association between perception with knowledge (high, medium, low), attitude (favourable/unfavourable) physical activity (sufficient/insufficient). higher were...
Introduction This trial aims to investigate the impact of a school-based physical activity programme, involving high-intensity interval training (HIIT), on physical, mental and cognitive health senior school students. Methods analysis The Burn 2 Learn (B2L) intervention will be evaluated using two-arm parallel group cluster randomised controlled with allocation occurring at level (to treatment or wait-list control). Schools recruited in two cohorts from New South Wales, Australia. aim...
Circadian rhythms are evolutionarily programmed biological that primarily entrained by the light cycle. Disruption of circadian is an important risk factor for several metabolic disorders. Photoperiod defined as total duration exposure in a day. With extended use indoor/outdoor light, smartphones, television, computers, and social jetlag people exposed to excessive artificial at night increasing their photoperiod. Importantly long photoperiod not limited any geographical region, season, age,...
Whole blood viscosity (WBV) is the intrinsic resistance to flow developed due frictional force between adjacent layers of flowing blood. Elevated WBV an independent risk factor for stroke. Poor microcirculation elevated can prevent adequate perfusion brain and might act as important secondary hypoperfusion in acute ischaemic In present study, we examined association with basal cerebral assessed by CT Confirmed ischemic stroke patients (n = 82) presenting hours were recruited from single...
Whole-blood viscosity (WBV) depends on vascular geometry and blood physiological constituents. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia obesity – the major components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) can independently affect vessels microcirculation. MetS is state oxidative stress systemic inflammation. Pro-oxidant inflammatory cytokines induce endothelial dysfunction. Morphological alterations erythrocytes could be a consequence decreased deformability, These events altogether lead to...

High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has been associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components. Several studies have suggested hsCRP to be used as a marker for the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. So, we aimed evaluate association between levels components MetS in diabetic non-diabetic population.
The prediabetes and cardiovascular complications studies proposes to develop a screening protocol for diabetes risk, strategies holistic management amongst others. Over 500 participants were recruited in the first 2 years of rural community research screening. Specific this report, various published findings reviewed. objective is summarize outcomes itemize limitations as they constitute basis future directions. Affordability availability are major confounding behavioural change wheel...
The present study compares the association of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) with hemorheological parameters, oxidative stress, inflammation and peripheral arterial disease markers. 100 participants were recruited divided into three groups on basis absence or presence MetS its components. Odds ratio for correctly predicting was highest erythrocyte aggregation followed by deformability. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that all components significantly classified participants. Area Under Curve...
Introduction: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific complication that significantly contributes to maternal and perinatal morbidity mortality worldwide, even more so in developing countries such as Nepal. The potential contribution of dyslipidemia elevated levels oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) the pathogenesis preeclamptic pregnancies has been observed several studies. aim this study was compare lipid profile parameters particularly oxLDL between healthy also correlate with other...
