Abstract Globally women face inequality in cancer outcomes; for example, smaller improvements life expectancy due to decreased cancer‐related deaths than men (0.5 vs 0.8 years, 1981–2010). However, comprehensive global evidence on the burden of among (including by reproductive age spectrum) as well disparities region, remains limited. This study aimed address these gaps considering 34 types 2020 and their projections 2040. The was estimated using population‐based data from 185...
Abstract Background Men exhibit higher prevalence of modifiable risk factors, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, leading to greater cancer incidence lower survival rates. Comprehensive evidence on global burden among men, including disparities by age group country, is sparse. To address this, the authors analyzed 30 types men in 2022, with projections estimated for 2050. Methods The 2022 GLOBOCAN estimates were used describe statistics 185 countries/territories worldwide....
Abstract Aims This study aimed to assess medication adherence among older people with coronary heart disease and its relationship hospitalizations. Methods is a prospective cohort conducted at the outpatient clinics of major hospital in Vietnam from November 2022 June 2023. Consecutive patients were recruited followed for 6 months. Medication was defined using five‐item Adherence Report Scale (MARS‐5). Multivariable logistic regression models applied examine impact on hospitalization due...
Background Childhood acute respiratory infection remains the commonest global cause of morbidity and mortality among under-five children. In Ethiopia, it highest burden health care system. The problem varies in space time, exploring its spatial distribution has supreme importance for monitoring designing effective intervention programs. Methods A two stage stratified cluster sampling technique was utilized along with 2016 Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey (EDHS) data. About 10,006 children...
In developing countries including Ethiopia stunting remained a major public health burden. It is associated with adverse consequences, thus, investigating predictors of childhood crucial to design appropriate strategies intervene the problem stunting. The study uses data from Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) conducted January 18 June 27, 2016 in Ethiopia. A total 8117 children aged 6-59 months were included stratified two stage cluster sampling technique. Bayesian multilevel...
Background Inadequate intake of macro- and micronutrients is a significant public health challenge in Ethiopia. Ethiopia carries substantial burden both micronutrient deficiencies, with far-reaching consequences. However, there limited evidence on the determinants mean nutrient adequacy complementary foods among children aged 6–23 months. Therefore, this study aims to determine ratio associated factors feeding months Northeast Methods A was conducted between 1 March 30 April 2023, 255 The...
BackgroundIdentifying the critical modifiable risk factors for acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs) and diarrhoea is crucial to reduce burden of disease mortality among children under 5 years age in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) ultimately achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We investigated ARI five using nationally representative surveys.MethodsWe used most recent demographic health survey (DHS) data (2014–2021) from 25 SSA countries, encompassing a total 253,167 children....
Background Timely initiating antenatal care (ANC) is crucial in the countries that have high maternal morbidity and mortality. However, developing including Ethiopia, pregnant mother’s time to initiate was not well-studied. Therefore, this study aimed assess first ANC its predictors among women Ethiopia. Methods A community-based cross-sectional conducted 7,543 Ethiopia using Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey (EDHS), 2016 data. two-stage stratified cluster sampling employed. The...
Malnutrition among under-five children is a common public health problem and it one of the main cause for mortality in developing countries, including Ethiopia. Therefore, lack evidence about geographic heterogeneity predictors under-nutrition hinders evidence-based decision-making process prevention control programs Thus, this study aimed to address gap.The data were obtained from Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey (EDHS) 2016. A total 9,384 nested 645 clusters included with stratified...
Introduction Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is the safest and healthiest option of feeding among infants in first 6 months throughout world.
