The prevalence of non-communicable diseases is increasing in Nepal. Overweight and obesity are the major risk factors many diseases. Adolescence a critical phase for development overweight obesity. Risk associated with not well understood objective study was to identify among adolescent students.A cross-sectional descriptive carried out on higher secondary school students Lalitpur sub-metropolitan city, Nepal.A random sample 360 aged 16-19 years from eight schools included study.The 12.2%...
Life expectancy initially improves rapidly with economic development but then tails off. Yet, at any level of development, some countries do better, and worse, than expected – they either punch above or below their weight. Why this is the case has been previously researched no full explanation complexity phenomenon available. In order to advance understanding, newly formed Punching Above Their Weight Research Network developed a model frame future research. It provides for consideration...
Each year, 1.2 million intrapartum stillbirths occur globally. In Nepal, about 50 % of the total number during period. An understanding risk factors associated with stillbirth will facilitate development preventative strategies to reduce burden death. This study was conducted in a tertiary-care setting aim identify stillbirth. A case–control completed from July 2012 September 2013. All women who had an period were included as cases, and 20 live births randomly selected upon admission create...
Abstract Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive and debilitating condition that affects individuals’ quality of life. COPD self-management supports provided by carers key to the life people living with COPD. Health literacy (HL) Patient Activation (PA) are main drivers practices (SMPs). However, their contribution remains be fully explored. This study aimed examine level practices, relationship socio-demographic factors, HL PA among multi-morbid patients...
The growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and an increase in the prevalence underlying risk factors are creating a challenge to health systems low- middle-income countries (LMICs). In Nepal, deaths attributable NCDs have been increasing, as has life expectancy. This poses questions with regards how age various interact affecting NCDs. We analyzed effects on NCD factors, using data from Nepalese STEPs survey 2019, nationally representative cross-sectional study. Six...
Health literacy (HL) and patient activation (PA) are necessary foundations to engage patients in self-management intervention. Each concept plays a unique role improving access the effective of chronic disease. In this cross-sectional study, we examined levels determinants HL PA among multi-morbid COPD Nepal.
Abstract Background People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Nepal are not receiving adequate support to self-manage their conditions, and primary health care can play a key role the effective management of these. In this study, we aimed develop model care, using co-design approach, for delivering evidence-based biomedical psycho-social self-management people multi-morbid COPD rural Nepal. Methods A guided by five stages design thinking model, was used study. Layering on...
BackgroundChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is associated with multiple health problems including physical and psychological impairment as well socioeconomic deprivation. COPD can be managed if self-management efficiency disease management knowledge of patients improved. Patient activation believed to improve patients' quality life (QOL) outcomes through enhancing skills. This review an attempt identify the benefits gaps in patient-activation position interventionsMethodsFour...
Objective To understand the facilitators and barriers to self-management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in rural Nepal. Settings Community primary care centres Participants A total 14 participants (10 people with COPD 4 health providers) were interviewed. Primary secondary outcome measure(s) People healthcare provider’s experience Results Facilitators affecting Nepal operated at patient-family, community service provider levels. found have a limited understanding...
Reducing neonatal death has been an emerging challenge in low and middle income countries the past decade. The development of cost interventions their effective delivery are needed to reduce deaths from birth asphyxia. This study will assess impact a simplified resuscitation protocol provided by Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) at tertiary hospital Nepal. Perinatal outcomes performance skilled attendants on management intrapartum-related hypoxia be main measurements. carried out level maternity...
Objective To understand the feasibility and acceptability of a co-design approach to developing an integrated model healthcare for people with multi-morbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in rural Nepal. Settings A setting Participants Data collection included five video recordings, key informant interviews observation notes from final workshop that involved total 68 stakeholders: persons COPD their family members; providers, including respiratory physicians; local community...
Abstract Evidence of the impact exposure to multiple mycotoxins and environment enteric dysfunction (EED) on child growth is limited. Using data from a birth cohort study, objectives this study were (a) quantify (serum aflatoxin [AFB 1 ] ochratoxin A [OTA], urinary fumonisin [UFB deoxynivalenol [DON]), as well EED (lactulose:mannitol [L:M] ratio); (b) examine potential combined effects mycotoxin growth. Multivariate regressions used identify associations between measurements (length, weight,...
Abstract Background Aflatoxins are found in diverse foods widely consumed worldwide. This study investigated the association between aflatoxin exposure and (a) consumption of specific foods, (b) dietary diversity (DD), (c) seasonality. Methods Women enrolled AflaCohort Study Banke, Nepal ( n = 1648) were asked how often they ate certain food items past 7 days 24 h. Serum B 1 -lysine (AFB -lys) adduct levels, measured during pregnancy, determined using high-performance liquid chromatography....
When looking at life expectancy (LE) by sex, women live longer than men in all countries. Biological factors alone do not explain gender differences LE, and examining structural may help illuminate other explanatory factors. The aim of this research is to analyse the influence inequality on gap LE globally. We have carried out a regression analysis between relativised UN Gender Inequality Index (GII), with sensitivity conducted for its three dimensions, stratified six World Health...
Background Overweight is a global public health problem with increasing trend especially in middle to lower socioeconomic country like Nepal. The nutritional status of adolescents being shaped by socio-cultural, environmental, and economic factors has also been impacted their food habits level physical activity. current shift rapid urbanization had emerged overweight as an additional burden for consistently prevalent undernutrition issues. So, the study aimed identify prevalence risk among...
