Abstract This study aims to assess the effects of central and general adiposity on development cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) mediated by cardiometabolic risk factors analyze their degree dependency for mediating effects. To this end, data from Tehran Lipid Glucose Study cohort with 6280 participants were included in study. The hazard ratios calculated using a 2-stage regression model context survival model. Systolic blood pressure (BP), total serum cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose...
Background Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) takes a heavy toll in low- and middle-income countries. We aimed to present worldwide estimates for the burden of RHD during 1990 2019 using GBD (Global Burden Disease) study. Methods Results Sociodemographic index (SDI) age-period-cohort analysis were used assess inequity. The age-standardized death, disability-adjusted life years, incidence, prevalence rates 3.9 (95% uncertainty interval, 3.3-4.3), 132.9 115.0-150.3), 37.4 (28.6-46.7), 513.7...
Background Insufficient physical activity (IPA) is a significant risk factor for various non-communicable diseases. The Iran action plan 20% reduction in IPA. Therefore, we aimed to describe the age and sex pattern of domains, IPA, intensity activity, sedentary behavior, their associates at Iran's national provincial levels 2021. Methods This study used data STEPwise Approach NCD Risk Factor Surveillance (STEPS) 2021 Iran. STEPS Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) version two...
Abstract Smoking is recognised as a critical public health priority due to its enormous and economic consequences. Constant monitoring of the effectiveness tobacco control programs calls for timely population-based data. This study reports national sub-national patterns in consumption among Iranian adults based on results from STEPwise approach chronic disease risk factor surveillance (STEPS) survey 2021. was performed through an analysis STEPS 2021 which had been conducted nationally...
To express a global view of care quality in major causes mortality and morbidity children adolescences.We used primary epidemiologic indicators from the Global Burden Disease 1990-2017 database. We have created four secondary indices six order to assess parameters. conducted principal component analysis on incidence, prevalence, mortality, Years Life Lost (YLLs), Lived with Disability (YLDs), Adjusted (DALYs) create an index presented by quality-of-care (QCI) compare different countries.The...
BackgroundTesting for the risk factors of cardiovascular disease, which include hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolaemia, is important timely effective management. Yet few studies have quantified analysed testing in low-income middle-income countries (LMICs) with respect to sociodemographic inequalities. We aimed address this knowledge gap.MethodsIn cross-sectional analysis, we pooled individual-level data non-pregnant adults aged 18 years or older from nationally representative...
In developing countries like Iran, the burden of obesity increases through comorbid diseases. We estimated mean body mass index (BMI) and prevalence overweight/obesity by components sex, age, province, year in Iran from 1990 to 2016.Through a comprehensive systematic review, all relevant data sources pooled results with individual level national sub-national population-based studies. Two stages age-spatio-temporal modeling Gaussian process regression were used estimate BMI, followed...
Background: Bipolar disorders (BD) are significant debilitating mental problems. Here, we introduced a novel index as representative of the quality care delivered to BD patients worldwide. Methods: The Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2019 study was primary data source on BD, including prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLDs). Secondary indices were created transformed into single component that accounted for most variation, using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method....
With an increase in the incidence and prevalence of non-rheumatic valvular heart diseases (NRVHDs), having a proper understanding disease current status terms quality care healthcare access can considerably affect further planning for system.In this study, we aimed to evaluate compare equity concerning NRVHDs gender sociodemographic index (SDI) using newly proposed index.We obtained primary measures (e.g. incidence) from Global Burden Disease (GBD) data about NRVHD 1990 2017 calculate...
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) encompass a range of neurodevelopmental that affect the patient's communication and behavior. There are some reports about increasing prevalence ASD in recent decades, mostly due to improvement diagnosis screening status. Few studies suggested lower North Africa Middle East compared more developed regions. The aim this study is provide comprehensive outlook region.We used Global Burden Disease (GBD) data from 1990 2019 East, which one seven super regions GBD...
Abstract Aim Lung cancer is the most common in incidence and mortality worldwide. The aim of current study was to present population‐based estimates lung epidemiology by gender age group at national subnational levels during 27‐year period 1990‐2016. Methods This part NASBOD project (National Subnational Burden Disease, Injuries, Risk Factors). Cancer statistics were obtained from Iran Registry database Death Registration System. two‐stage mixed effects spatiotemporal model fitted all‐cancer...
Lead exposure (LE) and its attributable deaths disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) have declined in the recent decade; however, it remains one of leading public health concerns, particularly regions with low socio-demographic index (SDI) such as North Africa Middle East (NAME) region. Hence, we aimed to describe burden LE this region.Data on deaths, DALYs, lost (YLLs), lived disability (YLDs) NAME region 21 countries from 1990 2019 were extracted Global Burden Disease (GBD) study.In 2019,...
Abstract Background . Low back pain is one of the major causes morbidity worldwide. Studies on low quality care are limited. This study aimed to evaluate worldwide and compare gender, age, socioeconomic groups. Methods used GBD data from 1990 2017 Institute for Health Metrics Evaluation (IHME) website. Extracted included incidence, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), lived with disability (YLDs). DALYs prevalence ratio incidence were calculated in principal component analysis...
Abstract This protocol and set of codes bring forward a newly introduced index system that can assess the quality care given to health-seekers on large-scale, named (QCI). Foremost, QCI is designated for data miners using large amount entry. Dimension reduction approaches are utilized reduce ease complexity such environments. have been trained built based Global Burden Disease (GBD) database structure [https://vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-compare/]. Other sources be fed code upon re-structuring...
The North Africa and Middle East (NAME) region has one of the highest burdens ischemic heart disease (IHD) worldwide. This study reports contemporary epidemiology IHD in NAME.
BACKGROUND: Iran has a variety of climates which support agriculture in different seasons. Hence, significant proportion people, especially rural areas, are engaged farming. Agriculture is considered one the most insecure job sectors
The mortality of burn injury is a serious health problem among older people. present study aimed to determine the epidemiological characteristics and Years Life Lost (YLLs) people aged ≥ 60. National Subnational Burden Disease (NASBOD) includes population-based cross-sectional data from death registration system Iran those recorded by cemeteries Tehran Esfahan were used in this study. Spatio-temporal Gaussian process regression models applied estimate rates trends cause-specific fractions....
