Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, respiratory conditions and cancers, are the most common causes of morbidity mortality globally. Information on prevalence estimates NCD risk factors such as smoking, low fruit & vegetable intake, physical inactivity, raised blood pressure, overweight, obesity abnormal lipid scarce in Somaliland. The aim this study was to determine these selected for NCDs among 20-69 year old women men Hargeisa,
Firefighters and police often work in high-stress, complex environments with known suspected carcinogenic exposures. We aimed to characterise cancer incidence among firefighters police.
Firefighters are exposed to a variety of known and suspected carcinogens through their work. However, the association with cancer risk has limited evidence. We examined incidence among firefighters in newly established Norwegian Fire Departments Cohort restricted sites associations encountered during firefighting. This included within respiratory, urinary, lympho-hematopoietic systems, skin all combined.Male (N=3881) cohort were linked Cancer Registry Norway for incident cases occurring...
Objectives Elevated risk of cancer at several sites has been reported among firefighters, although with mixed findings. The purpose this study was to calculate standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) and mortality (SMRs) for compare them assess whether use the different measures could be a source inconsistencies in Methods Norwegian Fire Departments Cohort, comprising 4295 male employees who worked 15 fire departments across Norway, linked health outcome registries period 1960–2018. SIRs SMRs...
Objective: We aimed to assess and compare cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors predict the future of CVD among Somalis living in Norway Somaliland. Method: included participants (20–69 years) from two cross-sectional studies Oslo (n = 212) Hargeisa 1098). Demographic data, history CVD, smoking, alcohol consumption, anthropometric measures, blood pressure, fasting serum glucose, lipid profiles were collected. The predicted 10-year was calculated using Framingham score models. Results: In...
Increased risks of bladder cancer and mesothelioma were the strongest evidence for recent reclassification firefighting as carcinogenic (Group 1) by International Agency Research on Cancer. Our study aim was to develop indicators specific exposures examine associations with urinary tract (UTC), including cancer.We developed exposure from employment at a fire department or in jobs, smoke, diesel exhaust men Norwegian Fire Departments Cohort (n=4250). Incident UTC cases obtained Cancer...
Abstract Background Parental behavior and infant sleep patterns can vary widely both within between cultures settings. Breastfeeding during the second half-year of infancy has been associated with frequent night waking, which is perceived as problem among Western societies. An understanding sleeping breastfed infants important in supporting continued breastfeeding. Objectives The study aimed to investigate infancy. Methods This a cross-sectional study. Three hundred forty-two mothers 6–12...
Objectives Excess incidence of prostate cancer (PC) is frequently observed among firefighters; however, the association with specific occupational exposures firefighting, as well influence a medical surveillance bias, remains unclear. Our aim was to study PC risk within firefighter cohort, applying indicators exposures. Methods We used various firefighting examine men in Norwegian Fire Departments Cohort (N=4251). Incident cases, including clinical characteristics, were obtained from Cancer...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Although no exposures are yet established as causally related to prostate cancer (PCa), the International Agency for Research on Cancer has found limited evidence increased risk in firefighters. We present PCa incidence data from a Norwegian cohort of firefighters, examining role exposure fire smoke and/or diesel exhaust. <h3>Materials and Methods</h3> The Fire Departments Cohort (n=4295 males, follow-up 1960–2021) was between 2017 2019. obtained Registry Norway. To...
<h3>Introduction</h3> We observed elevated incidence of urinary tract cancer (UTC; ICD10 C65–68) among Norwegian male firefighters in previous studies. Increased risk bladder (C67), alongside mesothelioma, was the main evidence for recent re-classification firefighting as carcinogenic (Group 1) by International Agency Research on Cancer. However, exposure-response associations remain unclear. <h3>Objectives</h3> aimed to develop detailed indicators exposures and more closely examine...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Firefighters are exposed to a variety of known and suspected carcinogens through their work, previous studies have found elevated risk for number cancer sites among firefighters. <h3>Objectives</h3> The aim was examine incidence Norwegian firefighters in with established associations carcinogenic occupational exposures. This included within the respiratory, urinary, lympho-haematopoietic systems, as well skin all combined. <h3>Methods</h3> A newly historical cohort 3881...
