Four of them were responsible for more than 80% of mortality from NCDs, which were cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes. They shared the same risk factors. Objective: To determine the prevalence of NCD risk factors in patients admitted to consult in the outpatient unit of the National Teaching Hospital of Cotonou. Patients and Methods: This was a transversal, descriptive and analytical study which took place from 15 June 2011 to 16 September 2011. It focused on 1000 subjects found after a recruitment of all patients coming to consult during the study period. The collection technique was a questionnaire followed by physical measures (weight, height, blood pressure and waist) and biological measures (fasting glucose and cholesterol). The data were analyzed with the software Epi-3.3.2 info. Results: The mainly prevalent behavioural risk factors were smoking (10.2%), alcohol consumption (60.3%), insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables (84.2%), and physical inactivity (57.6%). The prevalent physical risk factors were hypertension (47.4%), obesity (27.5%), and overweight (35.3%). The prevalent biological risk factors were diabetes (28.5%), and hypercholesterolemia (10.4%). The level of cardiovascular risk was higher than 40% in 81 people (8.1%). Conclusion: This study shows the importance of risk factors for NCDs in outpatient Unit in the National Teaching Hospital of Cotonou.展开更多

This is partly due to the fact that the underlying mechanisms of how exercise influences energy homeostasis and counteracts high-fat diets and physical inactivity is complex and remains relatively poorly understood on a molecular level. In addition to genetic polymorphisms in humans that lead to gross variations in responsiveness to exercise, adaptation in mitochondrial networks is central to physical activity, inactivity, and diet. To harness the benefits of exercise for NCDs, much work still needs to be done to improve health effectively on a societal level such as developing personalized exercise interventions aided by advances in high-throughput genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. We propose that understanding the mitochondrial phenotype according to the molecular information of genotypes, lifestyles, and exercise responsiveness in individuals will optimize exercise effects for prevention of NCDs.展开更多

Healthsystems engineering approach can be used to recover health state by many different ways of system adjustments, including physical exercises, nutrition and psychological intervention, and drug therapies. To evaluate and assess the effects of these adjustments, many parameters of the system states have to be monitored (such as molecular high- throughput technologies, physiological, image, etc.), and estimated at the different levels (such as molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels) and on the different dimensions (such as metabolic, immune, neural, etc.) for human system. Huge data have been produced during the whole process, and health systems engineering approach will model health and sick state in the human system by detecting and analyzing these multi-dimension and multi- level big-data in order to find personal suitable adjustment method.展开更多

文摘Background:Life’s Simple 7,the former construct of cardiovascular health(CVH)has been used to evaluate adverse non-communicable chronic diseases(NCDs).However,some flaws have been recognized in recent years and Life’s Essential 8 has been established.In this study,we aimed to analyze the association between CVH defined by Life’s Essential 8 and risk of 44 common NCDs and further estimate the population attributable fractions(PAFs)of low-moderate CVH scores in the 44 NCDs.Methods:In the UK Biobank,170,726 participants free of 44 common NCDs at baseline were included.The Life’s Essential 8 composite measure consists of four health behaviours(diet,physical activity,nicotine exposure,and sleep)and four health factors(body mass index,non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol,blood glucose,and blood pressure),and the maximum CVH score was 100 points.CVH score was categorized into low,moderate,and high groups.Participants were followed up for 44 NCDs diagnosis across 10 human system disorders according to the International Classification of Diseases 10th edition(ICD-10)code using linkage to national health records until 2022.Cox proportional hazard models were used in this study.The hazard ratios(HRs)and PAFs of 44 NCDs associated with CVH score were examined.Results:During the median follow-up of 10.85 years,58,889 incident NCD cases were documented.Significant linear dose-response associations were found between higher CVH score and lower risk of 25(56.8%)of 44 NCDs.Low-moderate CVH(<80 points)score accounted for the largest proportion of incident cases in diabetes(PAF:80.3%),followed by gout(59.6%),sleep disorder(55.6%),chronic liver disease(45.9%),chronic kidney disease(40.9%),ischemic heart disease(40.8%),chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(40.0%),endometrium cancer(35.8%),lung cancer(34.0%),and heart failure(34.0%)as the top 10.Among the eight modifiable factors,overweight/obesity explained the largest number of cases of incident NCDs in endocrine,nutritional,and metabolic diseases(35.4%),digestive system disorders(21.4%),mental and behavioral disorders(12.6%),and cancer(10.3%);however,the PAF of ideal sleep duration ranked first in nervous system(27.5%)and neuropsychiatric disorders(9.9%).Conclusions:Improving CVH score based on Life’s Essential 8 may lower risk of 25 common NCDs.Among CVH metrics,avoiding overweight/obesity may be especially important to prevent new cases of metabolic diseases,NCDs in digestive system,mental and behavioral disorders,and cancer.
文摘Prepandemic time trends in mortality from chronic liver disease(CLD)differed according to specific cause of death(decreasing for liver cirrhosis,stable or increasing for liver cancer),etiology(increasing for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease,generally decreasing for other etiologies),and world region(decreasing in areas with the highest burden of hepatitis B virus,increasing in Eastern Europe and other countries).The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic affected mortality of patients with CLD both directly,with a higher risk for severe illness and death depending on age,stage and etiology of the disease,and indirectly,through social isolation and loss of support,harmful drinking,and difficulties in access to care.Nevertheless,only sparse data are available on variations in CLD as a cause of death during the pandemic.In the USA,in 2020-2021 a growth in mortality was registered for all liver diseases,more marked for alcoholic liver disease,especially among young people aged 25-44 years and in selected ethnic groups.COVID-19 related deaths accounted only for a minor part of the excess.Further data from mortality registers of other countries are warranted,preferably adopting the so-called multiple cause-of-death approach,and extended to deaths attributed to viral hepatitis and liver cancer.

文摘Objective:This study evaluates the community-based intervention of chronic disease management(CDM)through the Integrated Non-Communicable Diseases Health Post(Posbindu-NCD)conducted by a community of health workers(CHWs)in Indonesia’s rural areas.Methods:A cohor t retrospective study evaluated 577 par ticipants from Posbindu-NCD in 7 public health centers(PHCs)in 2019.Activities of intervention of CDM for Posbindu-NCD was included,identified risk factors to NCDs,and provided counselling education and other follow-ups based on interviews and measurement results from the five Desk systems that recorded in a medical record as a form of the monthly activity report each the first month,the 6 months,and the 12th month.Results:There were statistically significant differences for alcohol consumed and diabetes mellites(χ^(2)=10.455;P=0.001).There were significant differences on gender(χ^(2)=3.963;P=0.047),on ethnicity(χ^(2)=19.873;P<0.001),and hypertension.In addition,there were also significant differences on ethnicity(χ^(2)=15.307;P<0.001),vegetable consumption(χ^(2)=4.435;P=0.035),physical exercise(χ^(2)=6.328;P=0.012),and the current diseases of hypercholesterolemia of par ticipants.Fur thermore,the survival rate among patients who have overweight,abdominal overweight,hyper tension,diabetes mellitus,and hypercholesterolemia increased among par ticipants who regularly visited Posbindu-NCD compared with the non-regularly one.Conclusions:The CDM program’s community-based intervention through Posbindu-NCD conducted by CHWs improved survival rates in Indonesia’s rural areas.Therefore,this program can be fur ther developed in conducting CDM in the community with the active involvement of CHWs so that the community becomes active regularly in par ticipating in Posbindu-NCD activities in rural areas of Indonesia.
文摘Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a sick- state in the complex system of human body. Healthsystems engineering approach can be used to recover health state by many different ways of system adjustments, including physical exercises, nutrition and psychological intervention, and drug therapies. To evaluate and assess the effects of these adjustments, many parameters of the system states have to be monitored (such as molecular high- throughput technologies, physiological, image, etc.), and estimated at the different levels (such as molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels) and on the different dimensions (such as metabolic, immune, neural, etc.) for human system. Huge data have been produced during the whole process, and health systems engineering approach will model health and sick state in the human system by detecting and analyzing these multi-dimension and multi- level big-data in order to find personal suitable adjustment method.
文摘The aim of the present study was to measure the prevalence of multimorbidity in Bangladesh,India and China,and to assess the relationship between multimorbidity and patient's opinion regarding their involvement in healthcare decision-making and overall satisfaction of healthcare system.Cross-sectional data on 18696 men and women aged 18 and above were collected from the World Health Survey of World Health Organization(WHO).Outcome variables were subjective rating of(1)healthcare system's ability to involve patients in decision-making,and(2)satisfaction with the way healthcare system runs in the country.Self-reported chronic conditions were used to measure the prevalence of multimorbidity.Out of 9 chronic conditions,back pain,arthritis,and chronic cough appeared to be the most prevalent ones among majority of the participants.About one-third of the participants in China(30.7%)and two-thirds in Bangladesh(66.1%)and India(66.6%)reported having at least one chronic illness.Prevalence of multimorbidity was highest in India(34.3%)followed by Bangladesh(28.8%)and China(14.3%).In Bangladesh,India and China,respectively 70.5%,41.7%,61.3%women and 54.5%,42.8%and 58.8%men expressed dissatisfaction regarding the way healthcare system runs in their country.In Bangladesh and India,men who were living with multimorbidity were more likely to rate the patient-centeredness as"bad"than those who had no disease illness.This study suggests that the prevalence of multimorbidity was remarkably high especially in Bangladesh and India.Higher likelihood of dissatisfaction about healthcare system among multimorbid patients might be indicative of inadequacy in the provision of care in qualitative and quantitative terms.
文摘目的:不同相位角水平对老年慢性阻塞性肺疾病(chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,COPD)患者预后的评估价值。方法:回顾性分析2020年6月至2022年3月苏州大学附属第二医院收治的210例老年COPD患者临床资料,对所有患者进行出院后3个月随访。将135例低相位角水平患者纳入低相位角组,将75例正常相位角水平患者纳入正常相位角组,并将患者出现急性加重症状、全因死亡作为2个终点事件,对不同相位角水平评估老年COPD患者预后情况的价值进行单因素、多因素回归分析。结果:正常相位角组年龄、体重指数、吸烟比例、入住重症监护病房(intensive care unit,ICU)比例、改良英国医学研究学会呼吸困难指数(modified British Medical Research Council,mMRC)量表评分、过去3个月COPD急性加重次数、慢性阻塞性肺疾病全球倡议(Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease,GOLD)分级、病情等级、第1秒用力呼气量(forced expiratory volume in one second,FEV1)、动脉血二氧化碳分压(partial arterial pressure of carbon dioxide,PaCO_(2))、动脉血氧分压与吸入氧浓度的比值(ratio of the partial arterial pressure of oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen,PaO_(2)/FiO_(2))、相位角水平与低相位角组比较,差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。随访3个月,COPD急性加重症状者139例,死亡25例。将随访3个月内出现急性加重症状作为终点事件,经log-rank法分析,低相位角组出现COPD急性加重症状的时间短于正常相位角组(P<0.05)。将随访3个月内全因死亡作为终点事件,经log-rank法分析,低相位角组生存率低于正常相位角组(P<0.05)。单因素分析与多因素Cox回归分析显示:年龄、mMRC评分、病情等级、过去3个月COPD急性加重次数、低相位角水平均是老年COPD患者随访3个月内出现急性加重的危险因素(均P<0.05)。单因素分析与多因素Cox回归分析显示:mMRC评分、病情等级、低相位角水平均是老年COPD患者随访3个月内全因死亡的危险因素(均P<0.05)。结论:低相位角水平是老年COPD患者随访3个月内发生疾病急性加重及死亡的独立危险因素,其对于患者预后的预测具有一定价值。
