The Relationship

Abstract Physical activity reduces the risk and mortality risk of inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to examine the relationship between regular walking and periodontitis in a Korean representative sample of adults according to socioeconomic status. Data acquired by the Sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2014 and 2015 were used. The survey was completed by 11,921 (5,175 males; 6,746 females) participants (≥19 years). Individuals without values on periodontitis were excluded, and 9,728 participants remained. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was done using socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, income, education), oral health-related variables (flossing, interdental brushing, community periodontal index), oral and general health status and behaviour (smoking, diabetes mellitus), and regular walking. In all models, subjects who walked regularly had significantly lower risks of periodontitis. After adjusting for age, gender, income, education, smoking, diabetes mellitus, flossing, and interdental brushing, the odds ratio for periodontitis in subjects who walked regularly was 0.793 (95% Confidence interval: 0.700–0.898). Non-regular walking groups showed similar social gradients. Risk of low socioeconomic status was not significant in the regular walking group after adjusting for age, gender, income, and education. This study found that regular walking is associated to lower prevalence of periodontitis and can attenuate the relationship between periodontitis and low socioeconomic status.

Background: Nutritional anemia is still the primary cause of anemia despite of various nutritional programmes in developing countries. Aims and Objective: The present study was planned to asses Iron, Folate, and Vitamin B12 deficiency anaemia in developing countries. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in Agra in collaboration with Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, New Delhi. Admitted children of age 6 months to 14 years having signs and symptoms of anaemia were included in the study. Sample size calculated was 157. All the cases were subjected to CBC, GBP, serum iron, ferritin, folate and vitamin B12 level estimation. Results: Out of 672 children, 157 children with clinical feature of anaemia were enrolled in the study. Among these 157 children, 52.87% were male. Percent proportion of anaemia was highest among toddlers (27.39%) and lowest in adolescent (10.83%). The maximum cases were of urban area (65.6%) and middle socioeconomic status (47.13%). Most of the children were undernourished/underweight (60.4%). Mean iron level was significantly low in female children, children of rural areas, low socioeconomic status and malnutrition/underweight. Mixed iron, folate and B12 deficiency was found in 48.41%, 30.57% and 22.93% cases respectively. In 24.20% cases no deficiencies were found and were classified as anaemia due to some unspecified causes. Conclusion: Nutritional deficiency anaemia is contributing to a large proportion of anaemic patients. More intensified programmes are needed especially for female children, children of rural areas, low socioeconomic status and malnutrition/underweight.

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to describe and analyze accelerometer-measured sedentary time and physical activity (PA) among adolescents in a multicultural area characterized by low socioeconomic status (SES). Method: Seventh-graders (n=114 (girls n=66), mean age: 12.8±0.5 y) were recruited from three schools in a multicultural area of the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. Sedentary time and PA were measured with ActiGraph™ accelerometers. Result: Of total wear-time, 70 (±6)% was sedentary, with girls being more sedentary than boys. Girls had less light PA (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) than boys. Similar patterns were shown during in-school and out-of-school hours. During wear-time, 53% had a mean of ≥60 min of MVPA per day, but only 6% of the girls and 24% of the boys were sufficiently physically active every day. Girls had more sedentary bouts of ≥10 min and fewer MVPA bouts of ≥5 min per day than boys. Those who participated in organized sports spent a mean of 15 more minutes of MVPA per day compared to those who did not. No association was observed between body mass index (BMI) and sedentary time and PA. Conclusion: Only a few adolescents from a Swedish multicultural area characterized by low SES met the PA recommendations every day, and girls were more sedentary and less physically active than boys. Adolescents involved in organized sports had more of MVPA per day than their non-involved peers. Sedentary time and PA were not related to BMI.

The Relationship

This research focused on the psychological impact of an epidemic. We conducted a cross-sectional survey and two empirical experiments to examine how an epidemic would influence unethical behaviors and how the effect differs in people of different subjective socioeconomic statuses. These studies consistently demonstrated that subjective socioeconomic status moderates the relationship between an epidemic and unethical behaviors. Specifically, the perceived severity of an epidemic positively predicts the unethical behaviors of people with a high socioeconomic status, but it does not predict the unethical behaviors of people with a low socioeconomic status. These findings elucidate the effects of epidemics and bring theoretical and practical implications.

Resumo A qualidade é considerada um dos fatores decisivos para estabelecimento de metas específicas, assim como a satisfação do cliente, que tem o propósito de melhorar a efetividade dos cuidados prestados. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o grau de satisfação com o atendimento fisioterapêutico no âmbito hospitalar. Foi realizado um estudo transversal, em pacientes internados de ambos os sexos, maiores de 18 anos com condições de responder a um questionário sobre a avaliação da satisfação do atendimento recebido. Pacientes gravemente enfermos, em pré-operatório, com distúrbios da fala e com baixo nível cognitivo foram excluídos do estudo. Participaram do estudo 52 pacientes (idade 58,7±12,4 anos para o sexo masculino e 56,6±14,9 anos para sexo feminino). A maioria (76,9%) dos pacientes era de baixo nível socioeconômico. Os resultados mostram que os pacientes apresentam um bom nível de satisfação com o atendimento fisioterapêutico em relação ao terapeuta-paciente, aos membros da equipe de atendimento, à dinâmica e à infraestrutura do hospital. Respostas negativas figuraram apenas em algumas questões referentes à infraestrutura do hospital e trabalho multiprofissional. A questão relativa à satisfação com o atendimento da fisioterapia, em geral, obteve 23,1% de respostas “excelente”, 44,2%% de “ótimo” e 32,7% de “bom” e, dentro deste contexto, foram considerados satisfatórios. Conclui-se que os pacientes hospitalizados possuem baixo status socioeconômico e estão satisfeitos com o atendimento fisioterapêutico recebidos no âmbito hospitalar. Palavras-chave: Fisioterapia.

The objective was to assess the satisfaction degree with the physical therapy care in hospitals. A cross-sectional study was carried out in hospitalized patients of both sexes, older than 18 years with conditions to respond to a questionnaire on the assessment of satisfaction of received care . Critically ill patients in the preoperative period, with speech disorders and low cognitive level were excluded. Results: The study included 52 patients (age 58.7 ± 12.4 years for males and 56.6 ± 14.9 years for females). The vast majority (76.9%) patients were of low socioeconomic status. The results show that patients have a good level of satisfaction with the physiotherapy on the therapistpatient relationship, to members of the service team, the dynamics and the hospital infrastructure. Negative responses figured in just a few issues of hospital infrastructure and multidisciplinary work. The question on satisfaction with the physiotherapy service in general obtained 23.1% of answers “excellent”, 44.2% of “good” and 32.7% “good”, and within this context, they were considered satisfactory. It is concluded that hospitalized patients have low socioeconomic status and are satisfied with the physiotherapeutic care received in hospitals.Keywords: Physiotherapy Specialty.

Cataract is a leading cause of curable blindness. Hence, in its global declaration of ‘Vision 2020 Right to Sight’, the World Health Organization (WHO) encouraged its member countries to address the problem of incident cataract. Many factors are related to the cataract surgical coverage rate, such as gender and diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study was to determine the cataract surgical coverage rate and investigate the determinants factors of cataract surgical coverage rate among adults 40 years old and above with cataract. A cross sectional study was conducted using National Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2007 data. Cataract surgery was defined as surgery conducted within the last 12 months before the survey was performed. There were 6939 subjects (3105 male, 3834 female) who fulfilled the study criteria. The cataract surgical coverage rate was 19.3%. The cataract surgical coverage rate was lower in subjects with low education, in the group of farmers/fishermen/laborers, in the 40-49 years age group, in rural areas, and in subjects of low socioeconomic status (p<0.05). The cataract surgical coverage rate was not different between gender and diabetes mellitus (p>0.05). Determinants that were related to cataract surgical coverage rate were age, type of area of residence, socioeconomic status, and region of residence (p<0.001). The implementation of educational programs and reforms to local ophthalmic health services may improve the cataract surgical coverage rate.
