To directly estimate how much smoking contributes to cause-specific mortality in Bangladesh.A case-control study was conducted with surveillance data from Matlab, a rural subdistrict. Cases (n = 2213) and controls 261) were men aged 25 69 years who had died between 2003 2010 smoking-related non-smoking-related causes, respectively. Cause-specific odds ratios (ORs) calculated for "ever-smokers" versus "never-smokers", adjustment education, tobacco chewing status age. Smoking-attributable...

There is a paucity of population-based data on COPD prevalence and its determinants in Bangladesh.To measure socioeconomic lifestyle among ≥40 years Bangladeshi adults.In cross-sectional study, we measured lung function 3744 randomly selected adults from rural urban areas Bangladesh, using handheld spirometer. was defined according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria as post-bronchodilator ratio Forced Expiratory Volume 1st second (FEV1) Vital...
Indoor air pollution (IAP) due to solid fuel use is a major risk factor of respiratory and cardiovascular mortality morbidity. Rural Matlab in Bangladesh has been partly supplied with natural gas since the early 1990s, which offered experiment investigate long-term impact IAP on cardiopulmonary mortality.This study sought compare adult relation household type as surrogate for exposure indoor pollution.This was retrospective cohort study. We identified all households 11 villages Matlab,...

Immunological disturbances are frequently observed in leprosy patients, particularly the lepromatous (LL) form compared to tuberculoid (TT) form. This study investigated immunological changes active revealing significant lymphopenia and a proportional reduction OKT3 positive (pan T), OKT4-positive (helper/inducer), OKT8-positive (suppressor/cytotoxic) cells. However, no alterations percentages or helper-to-suppressor ratios were noted. The research was conducted at Microbiology, Clinical...
We conducted a clean fuel intervention trial (Bangladesh Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth) (NCT02824237) with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for 26 months among rural Bangladeshi women chronically exposed to household air pollution (HAP) from biomass (BMF) use. aimed evaluate the effect of HAP reduction following LPG on immune response outcome.
This study was performed to identify the distribution of undiagnosed isolated hypertension subtypes and their correlates amongst adults aged 35 years older in Bangladesh using data from Demography Health Survey 2011.Out a total 17,964 selected households, 7,880 were included final analysis for this study. Systolic diastolic blood pressure (BP) measured 3× at 10-minute intervals. Hypertension defined individuals not under antihypertensive treatment as systolic-diastolic (SDH): systolic BP...
Most studies on psychosocial stress among Hispanics have focused risk factors. To better understand this population, study aimed to examine components of bicultural identity integration and self-efficacy, that may be associated with lower Hispanic emerging adults (ages 18-25).

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality. Among CVDs, acute vascular events (AVE) mainly ischemic heart and stroke largest contributors. To achieve 25% reduction in preventable deaths from CVDs by 2025, health systems need to be equipped with extended service coverage order provide person-centered care. The overall goal this proposed study is assess access care in-terms availability, seeking patterns barriers after AVE rural Bangladesh. We will consider...
