The Impact

This study examined the occurrence of diabetes and sustainable risk factors in residents aged 30 and above of a community in Taoyuan County, Taiwan. The main purpose of this research was to explore the correlations between related variables and the occurrence of diabetes. The demographic variables, health exam variables, healthy behavior variables, and environmental variables had obvious impacts on the risk of diabetes. As age increased, the risk of developing the disease also increased; higher educational levels lowered risk, while unemployment raised it. Also, analysis of the health exam variables showed that abnormal BMIs, waist-hip ratios, and body fat percentages had significant impacts on individuals’ risk of diabetes. Moreover, it was found that smoking affected the risk of having diabetes: smokers, particularly male smokers, had a relatively higher risk of developing the disease. Lastly, the results showed that exposure to second-hand smoke did not have a significant effect on the diabetes proportion in the male population. However, a significantly higher proportion of females who had been exposed to second-hand smoke had diabetes.

Abstract Reaching men is one of the challenges related to targeted health promotion. Societal factors, concepts of masculinities, and gender norms have a strong influence on preventive and health behavior of men. Targeted health promotion and prevention has to consider gender-specific differences in language and information sources to spread preventive messages but often fail to be effective. In Kyrgyzstan, non-communicable diseases account for 80% of mortality, including cardiovascular diseases, and raised blood pressure is the second most common disease for men. The NCD prevention and control project in Kyrgyzstan, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), aims to facilitate behavioral change towards healthier lifestyles by taking a gender-responsive approach to support the utilization of NCD related primary health care services for men. The gender-responsive intervention considers gender roles, norms, and inequalities, understands men's health needs, and pattern of preventive behavior to develop interventions. Data from project studies yielded that for men family members were the primary source of information about NCDs, risk factors and prevention. An assets-based approach is taken, building on the male role in a life-course perspective and a positive approach to the role of men as fathers. In 2019, an intervention, combining a school competition for children with a voucher system for preventive services for fathers and male relatives was conducted. In total, 80,416 males were reached and visited primary health facilities for preventive services (which averaged 20% of the male population over 18 years old); 18,364 (23%) men were newly detected with high blood pressure. Medical workers were made available during special hours to provide men with a consultation. During their visits, all men were screened for risk factors and received a consultation based on PEN protocol 1 and 2. Lessons on gender sensitivity have been learned from this experience.

Abstract. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an evolving health problem with growing incidence in the ageing male population with potentially predictive value for cardiovascular and other chronic diseases. ED shares the common cardiovascular risk factors. The aetiology of ED is numerous including neurogenic, psychogenic, arteriogenic, and venogenic reasons. The origin of arteriogenic ED is frequently atherosclerosis. Patients not adequately responding to conservative measures including oral medication are often referred to further vascular diagnostics and therapy. At present, the refinements in endovascular therapy allow for minimal-invasive revascularization of erection-related arteries. The role of endovascular therapy in the complex framework of the multifactorial causes of ED requires further scientific scrutiny.

Background: Multiple risks predispose professional football players to adverse health outcomes and, in extreme cases, early death; however, our understanding of etiological risk factors related to early mortality is limited. Purpose: To identify etiological risk factors associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among National Football League (NFL) players. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Articles examining all-cause and cause-specific mortality risk factors among previous NFL players were identified by systematically searching: PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from 1990 to 2017. Study eligibility and quality were evaluated using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Results: A total of 801 nonduplicated studies were identified through our search strategy. Of these, 9 studies examining 11 different risk factors were included in the systematic review. Overall, the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality was lower among NFL players than among the general male population in the United States. Nonwhite athletes, those in power positions, and those with a high playing-time body mass index (≥30 kg/m2) were associated with elevated all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risks. Conclusion: Methodological issues associated with the examined all-cause and cause-specific mortality risk factors preclude a definitive conclusion of etiological protective or risk effects. Comparison groups less prone to selection bias (“healthy worker effect”) and a life-course approach to the evaluation of suspected risk factors are warranted to identify etiological factors associated with early mortality among NFL players.
