RESUMO

Background: Cases of noncommunicable (NCD) diseases are increasing in Pakistan. They are responsible for 58% of all deaths and information on the risk factors is lacking. Aims: To determine the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension and abnormal heart rate and their risk factors in a multiethnic, low-income area of Lahore. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in an urban settlement of Lahore in 2018–2019. Eligible participants were aged ≥ 30 years and resident in selected settlements. We used a modified World Health Organization stepwise approach to NCD risk factor surveillance (STEPS) questionnaire to collect data from a random sample of 906 residents. The modified questionnaire had a Cronbach alpha of 80.0%. Participants were interviewed in their homes and their height, weight, heart rate, and hip circumference were measured. Results: Most of the respondents were women (64.5%). The greatest proportion of the participants were aged 30–39 years (42.4%). Of all the respondents, 40.1% had hypertension, 15.8% had diabetes and 17.0% had ischaemic heart disease. Of the risk factors examined, 68.8% of the respondents were overweight or obese, 37.0% had pre-hypertension, 13.6% used tobacco, and 1.8% used alcohol. Age was the most significant risk factor for noncommunicable diseases. Body mass index was significantly associated with diabetes in women, while family history of diabetes was significantly associated with diabetes in men. Conclusion: The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes was higher among our study participants in Lahore than reported in the national statistics. Significant proportions of the respondents had pre-hypertension and pre-diabetes, making them vulnerable to serious complications of hypertension and diabetes.

RESUMO

Background: High-normal blood pressure (HNBP) has become associated with a 2–3-fold increase in the risk of developing hypertension. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are independently linked to HNBP. Aims: To estimate the prevalence of HNBP, its predictors, and association with CVD risk among a country-representative sample of Egyptian adults. Methods: This study draws on data from the most recent Egyptian Health Issues Survey, and includes 13 983 adults aged 18–59 years. Sociodemographic data and anthropometric and blood pressure (BP) measurements were obtained, and the 10-year cardiovascular risk score was calculated using World Health Organization CVD risk charts for participants aged ≥ 40 years. Results: Overall, 15.31% and 21.0% of the study population had HNBP and hypertension, respectively. Compared to people aged 18–30 years, the odds of HNBP were 1.36, 1.67 and 2.39 among those aged 31–40, 41–50 and 51–59 years, respectively. The odds of HNBP were higher among male, overweight and obese adults, and patients with diabetes. The odds of HNBP and hypertension were higher among participants with high WHO CVD risk than those with low WHO CVD risk. Conclusion: HNBP is an alarming risk factor among Egyptian adults because it is strongly associated with CVD risk. Policy-makers should devise long-term, effective strategies for its prevention and control.

RESUMO

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a worldwide public health emergency. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 in Saveh city, Islamic Republic of Iran in 2020. Methods: In this descriptive analytical research, 3181 patients suspected of having COVID-19 who visited Saveh med- ical centres were investigated. Patients were confirmed with COVID-19 using polymerase chain reaction testing. Data on sociodemographic, epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the patients were collected using a validated form through interviews and medical records. The chi-squared, t and Fisher exact tests were used to assess differences in socio- demographic, epidemiological and clinical characteristics between patients with positive and negative polymerase chain reaction results. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between independent variables and death from COVID-19. Results: About half the patients (48.3%) had a history of chronic disease. Diabetes (16.2%), high blood pressure (14.8%) and cardiovascular disease (12.4%) were the most prevalent chronic diseases among patients who were confirmed positive for COVID-19. Risk factors for death among confirmed COVID-19 patients were: intubation (odds ratio (OR) = 8.97; 95% con- fidence interval (CI): 5.15–15.63), age ≥ 80 years (OR = 5.81; 95% CI: 1.91–17.60), oxygen saturation < 93% (OR = 2.48; 95% CI: 1.51–4.08), diabetes (OR = 1.88; 95% CI: 1.00–3.54) and shortness of breath (OR = 1.70; 95% CI: 1.02–2.82). Conclusion: Given the greater risks of contracting and dying from COVID-19 in certain groups of patients, health educa- tion programmes targeting these groups are recommended.

RESUMO

Background: Obesity is common worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Aims: To update data on the prevalence of overweight, obesity and central obesity, and to measure incidence rates for such outcomes in adults living in the south-east of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Methods: We enrolled 9997 adults (aged 15–80 years) between 2014 and 2018 (phase 2); 2820 of whom had participated in phase 1 (2009–2011). Participants were examined for overweight, obesity, central obesity, diabetes, hypertension, low physical activity, and dyslipidaemia. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the potential predictors of overweight, obesity and central obesity, and adjusted odds ratios (AOR) were obtained. Incidence rate of overweight, obesity and central obesity was reported among those who had none of these outcomes in phase 1. Results: The prevalence was 35.8% (37% men, 35% women) for overweight, 22.3% (16% men, 26.3% women) for obesity, and 31.1% (15.6% men, 41.2% women) for central obesity. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was significantly associated with age (AOR = 2.8–7.4), higher education (AOR = 1.7), female gender (AOR = 1.4), low physical activity (AOR = 1.3), smoking (AOR = 0.55) and opium use (AOR = 0.79). The prevalence increased from 33.3% to 35.8% for overweight and from 15.4% to 22.3% for obesity between phases 1 and 2. The incidence rate per 100 person-years was 5.5 for overweight, 4.7 for obesity and 2.9 for central obesity. Conclusion: Prevalence of overweight and obesity increased over 5 years. Middle-aged participants, women, and those with low physical activity were at higher risk for overweight/obesity.

RESUMO

Background: The World Health Organization recommends a maximum daily salt intake of 5 g for adults; the Islamic Republic of Iran has national standards for salt content of foods. Aims: This study aimed to determine the salt content of industrial (made in large-scale food companies) and non-industrial (made in local stores using traditional methods) foods in Tehran province and compare it with the Iranian national standards. Methods: We determined the salt content of 555 industrial and non-industrial products from parts of Tehran province in 2016 and 2018. The types of foods examined were: canned vegetables, industrial and non-industrial pickled vegetables, industrial and non-industrial tomato paste/tomato sauce, industrial and non-industrial nuts, and non-industrial barberry juice. The salt content of each product and its compliance with Iranian national standards was evaluated. Results: The salt content of industrial tomato paste/sauce in 2016 (2.05 g/100 g) and non-industrial tomato paste/sauce in 2018 (2.37 g/100 g) was higher than the Iranian standard (1.5/2.0 g/100 g). The mean salt content of both industrial (1.97 g/100 g) and non-industrial (2.16 g/100 g) nuts was higher than the Iranian standard (1.88 g/100 g), as was the mean salt content of non-industrial juice (0.79 g/100 mL versus 0.25 g/100 mL). In 2018, only 48% and 40% of industrial and nonindustrial tomato pastes/sauces met the Iranian standard. Overall, industrial products conformed better with the national standard than non-industrial products. Conclusions: Efforts are needed to reduce the salt content of processed food in the Islamic Republic of Iran and ensure they meet the Iranian standards.
