Purpose Bangladesh has experienced a rapid epidemiological transition from communicable to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in recent decades. There is, however, limited evidence about multidimensional determinants of NCDs this population. The BangladEsh Longitudinal Investigation Emerging Vascular and nonvascular Events (BELIEVE) study is household-based prospective cohort established investigate biological, behavioural, environmental broader NCDs. Participants Between January 2016 March...
Indoor air concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (NO2), and dust particles were measured for 49 biomass 46 fossil fuel users in urban slums Dhaka, Bangladesh. The health impacts these pollutants assessed on 65 51 children under five years old from families who use as main source energy, respectively. Mean CO found to be significantly higher (P = 0.010), while geometric mean benzene, xylene, toluene, hexane, total VOCs, NO2 < 0.01)...
While the functionality and healthy food value of red rice have increased its popularity, such that market demand for it is expected to rise, most strains suffer from low grain yield. To perform diversity population structure analyses germplasm, therefore, becomes essential improving yields commercial production. In this study, fifty germplasm Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) genebank were characterized both morphologically genetically using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers....
The study was conducted to investigate genetic variability among 113 aromatic and fine local rice genotypes of which five were exotic in origin. test evaluated for 19 growth traits, yield components, yield. All the quantitative traits varied significantly genotypes. High heritability along with high advance observed flag leaf area, secondary branches per panicle, filled grains grain length, breadth, length breadth ratio, 1000 weight. Such findings suggested preponderance additive gene action...
Objectives This study aims to describe the prevalence of non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors among urban poor in Bangladesh. Design We conducted a community-based cross-sectional epidemiological study. Setting The was shantytown city Dhaka. There were 8604 households with 34 170 residents community. Those categorised into two wealth strata based on housing structure. Participants targeted aged 18–64 years. A total 2986 eligible one individual selected by simple random sampling...
This study assessed subjective symptoms related to indoor concentrations of chemicals among residents in a housing estate Dalian, China, where air pollution by interior decoration materials has recently become major health problem. Fifty-nine males and 50 females were surveyed for their sick building syndrome. Formaldehyde (HCHO), NO2, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) dwellings collected using diffusion sampler measured GC/MS. For with one or more the past, HCHO, butanol 1,2-dichloroethane...
Ingestion of inorganic arsenic (iAs) is considered to be related the development diabetes mellitus. In order clarify possible differences in metabolism diabetics, we measured urinary iAs metabolites diabetic cases and non-diabetic control subjects Faridpur, an arsenic-contaminated area Bangladesh. Physician-diagnosed type 2 (140 persons) controls (180 were recruited. Drinking water spot urine samples collected. Mean concentrations total drinking did not differ between (85.1 μg/L) (85.8...
A population survey was conducted in an urban shantytown Bangladesh, as a baseline study of future epidemiological studies. This paper aims to describe the findings study, including profile and residential environment poor.We complete count household poor community Dhaka. Using brief structured questionnaire Bengali language, trained interviewers visited each asked questions such as: duration residence; ownership house, toilet kitchen; water supply; number family members; age, sex,...
While the pleasant scent of aromatic rice is making it more popular, with demand for expected to rise in future, varieties this have low yield potential. Genetic diversity and population structure germplasm provide valuable information improvement which has potential market value farm profit. Here, we show 113 based on phenotypic genotypic traits. Phenotypic traits showed that considerable variation existed across germplasm. Based Shannon-Weaver index, most variable trait was lemma-palea...
Indoor air pollutants from biomass combustion pose a risk for respiratory diseases in children. It is plausible that distinct differences the indoor quality (IAQ) exist between urban and rural areas developing countries since living environment these two are quite different. We have investigated possible IAQ Dhaka, Bangladesh association of such with incidence some non-respiratory symptoms children families using fuel.Indoor concentrations carbon monoxide (CO), dioxide (CO(2)), dust...
Abstract Background Little is known regarding the effect of exposure to biomass fuel smoke inhalation on respiratory symptoms in Bangladeshi population which a major health hazard most developing countries. This study aims explore association between and among children under 5 years age. Methods Data were extracted from Bangladesh Urban Health Survey conducted 2013. A total 10,575 mothers with at least one surviving selected. Respiratory age considered as primary outcome. Sequential multiple...
Abstract Background Globally, older population (aged ≥60 years) comprise 11% of the total population, and 23% them are malnourished. Lack knowledge education, adverse dietary habits, depression or psychological disorders, poor oral dental health, disability, diseases reported factors responsible for malnutrition among them. Geriatric people 7.5% Bangladesh, almost a quarter But there is scarce data on associated with nutritional status in Bangladesh. Methods A cross-sectional study was...
Indoor air pollution levels are reported to be higher with biomass fuel, and a number of respiratory diseases in children associated from burning such fuel. However, little is known about the situation developing countries. The aim study was compare indoor prevalence symptoms between biomass- fossil-fuel-using households different seasons Bangladesh.We conducted cross-sectional among (n = 42) fossil-fuel 66) users having <5 years Moulvibazar Dhaka, Bangladesh. Health-related information one...
We aimed to compare the GRACE and TIMI risk scores in patients with non- ST elevation acute coronary syndrome for their accuracy predicting angiographic severity of artery disease.The cross-sectional study done Department Cardiology, National Institute Cardiovascular Diseases, Dhaka, Bangladesh from April, 2015-April, 2016. The admitted non-ST were evaluated calculate score. Coronary angiogram was during index hospitalization disease assessed by vessel score Gensini score.Of 205 patients, a...
As rice is an important staple food globally, research for development and enhancement of its nutritional value it imperative task. Identification nutrient enriched germplasm exploiting them breeding programme the easiest way to develop better quality rice. In this study, we analyzed 113 aromatic in order identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) underpinning nutrition components determined by measuring normal frequency distribution Fe, Zn, amylose, protein content those germplasm....
Upazila Health Complexes (UHCs) and District Hospitals (DHs) play a crucial role in the healthcare delivery system of Bangladesh. But very few research has been conducted to find out prevailing challenges medical officers working these tiers. The objective study was identify faced by providing services at UHCs DHs.
