BackgroundThe 2016 Dar Es Salaam Call to Action on Diabetes and Other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) advocates national multi-sectoral NCD strategies action plans based available data information from countries of sub-Saharan Africa beyond. We estimated trends 1980 2014 in age-standardized mean body mass index (BMI) diabetes prevalence these countries, order assess the co-progression assist policy formulation.
Background In Tunisia, Cardiovascular Diseases are the leading causes of death (30%), 70% those coronary heart disease (CHD) deaths and population studies have demonstrated that major risk factor levels increasing. Objective To explain recent CHD trends in Tunisia between 1997 2009. Methods Data Sources: Published unpublished data were identified by extensive searches, complemented with specifically designed surveys. Analysis integrated analyzed using previously validated IMPACT policy...
Most projections of type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence are simply based on demographic change (i.e. ageing). We developed a model to predict future trends in T2D Tunisia, explicitly taking into account major risk factors (obesity and smoking). This could improve assessment policy options for prevention health service planning. The IMPACT uses Markov approach integrate population, obesity smoking estimate prevalence. the Tunisian population from 1997 2027, validated outputs by comparing with...
Objective This paper aims to assess the socioeconomic determinants of a high 10 year cardiovascular risk in Tunisia. Setting We used national population based cross sectional survey conducted 2005 Tunisia comprising 7780 subjects. applied non-laboratory version Framingham equation estimate risk. Participants 8007 participants, aged 35–74 years, were included sample but effective exclusion individuals with diseases and cancer resulted subjects (3326 men 4454 women) analysis. Results Mean age...
Mutations in KRAS and NRAS often result constitutive activation of RAS the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway. exon 2 (codon 12-13) predict resistance to anti-EGFR targeted therapy patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC). However, it's currently known that a significant proportion mCRC have mutations outside 2, particularly exons 3 4 NRAS. No data about are available for Tunisian mCRC. The aim this study was analyze RAS, using pyrosequencing, nine hotspots...
<h3>Background</h3> The road safety situation in Tunisia has become a critical concern, marked by increasing fatalities and severe injuries. Building on the Second Decade of Action for Road Safety, Regional Strategic Framework Safety Global Status Report Tunisian Government wanted to develop comprehensive long-term strategy. <h3>Objective</h3> aim policy analysis was inform dynamic new strategy Tunisia. It vital that reflected previous studies captured wide range perspectives reflective...
Abstract Background It is important to quantify inequality, explain the contribution of underlying social determinants and provide evidence guide health policy. The aim study income-related inequalities in cardiovascular risk factors last decade among Tunisian adults aged between 35 70 years old. Methods We performed analysis by applying two approaches compared results provided methods. methods were global sensitivity (GSA) using logistic regression models Wagstaff decomposition analysis....
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly across the world. Tunisia reacted early to COVID-19, resulting in a low number of infections during first wave pandemic. This study was performed model effects different interventions on evolution cases and compare these with Tunisian experience.
This study deals with the warehousing and transportation of products in a network healthcare institutions. The general problem is rich location routing (LRP) considering demands multiproducts to be allocated set potential depots delivered institutions, while pickups deliveries are from institutions at same time. One parking for vehicles considered network, each route starts ends parking. A mixed integer linear programming provided as tool decision-maker choose best pooling configuration...
Background . Mathematical models offer the potential to analyze and compare effectiveness of very different interventions prevent future cardiovascular disease. We developed a comprehensive Markov model assess impact three reduce ischemic heart diseases (IHD) stroke deaths: (i) improved medical treatments in acute phase, (ii) secondary prevention by increasing uptake statins, (iii) primary using health promotion dietary salt consumption. Methods validated for Tunisian population aged 35–94...
Tobacco smoking is a significant public health threat in the world, risk factor for many diseases, and has been increasing prevalence developing countries. In this study, we aimed to estimate burden of premature deaths attributable among Tunisian men aged 35-69 years 2009.The number was estimated using population fraction method. Smoking obtained from nationally representative survey. Causes death were registry National Public Health Institute. Relative risks taken American Cancer Society...

Abstract We performed a May Measurement Month (MMM) screening campaign among adult volunteers aged 18 years old and over in Tunisia. The objective was to raise awareness, estimate the prevalence, treatment, control of hypertension, one main cardiovascular risk factors. Following MMM protocol, three blood pressure (BP) measurements were taken by physicians standard interviewing procedures used record medical history, socio-demographic, disease Hypertension defined as systolic BP ≥140 mmHg...
<h3>Background</h3> Middle income countries are facing an epidemic of non-communicable diseases, especially coronary heart disease (CHD). We used a previously validated CHD mortality model (IMPACT) to examine recent trends in Tunisia, Syria, the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt – West Bank) and Turkey. <h3>Methods</h3> Data on populations, mortality, patient groups numbers, treatments risk factor from national local surveys each country were collated over two time points. Populations...
<h3>Background</h3> In Tunisia, road traffic fatalities (RTF) count as the first cause of death from an external cause. To date, The National Road Safety Observatory (NRSO), Ministry Interior is recognized official data source. This study aimed to set up a linkage project between five main sources (including one), analyze underestimation RTF, and its pattern. <h3>Methods</h3> A platform has been developed allowing implementation computer system unifying combining all on RTF institutions...
Abstract Background Hypertension is becoming increasingly frequent mainly in low and middle income countries. We aimed to assess the prevalence, awareness control of hypertension among Tunisian adults identify associated factors with control. Methods Data were obtained from 2016 Health Examination Survey, a household survey stratified at three degrees. Adults (age≥18 years old) interviewed using an individual questionnaire, then blood pressure measurement performed. Participants considered...
