A clearer fundamental knowledge of the principles of the electromagnetic organization of the human body can provide a scientific basis for further solving a number of modern medical problems, and this can help overcome the global pandemic of chronic non-communicable diseases The aim of the study is to improve methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases by studying and using the latest science-intensive technologies. Electro-photonic emission analysis was conducted on 126 patients with coronary heart disease. The obtained results were compared with the control group - 56 functionally healthy individuals. The electro-photonic emission analysis from human fingers is proposed by the author as one of the promising methods for possible study of systemic electromagnetic energy processes of the human body in the implementation of objective structured clinical examination.

Background: The geriatric population is defined as population aged 60 years and above. The mixed profile of communicable and non-communicable diseases among the elderly population in developing countries places a huge burden on the existing health care delivery system. Present hospital based cross-sectional study was focused on the morbidity profile of the elderly and improve the health care services so as to enable them to lead a productive life. Material and Methods: Present study was single centre, descriptive observational study, conducted in subjects above 60 years and both gender, visiting to OPD and IPD, willing to participate in study after written consent. Results: We included total 200 geriatric population in our study. Majority of them were from 60-70 years age group (50 %) followed by 71-80 years (37%) and 81-90 years age group (13%). Mean age was 70.75±7.25 years. Males were 56.5% and females were 43.5%. Males were predominant in our study with male to female ratio 1.29:1. Most common addiction seen among the patients are tobacco chewing (49.5%) followed by smoking (27%), followed by pan (24.5%), nut (21.5%) and alcohol (10.5%). Family history of diabetes and hypertension was present in 63.5% and 72% cases respectively. Prevalence of cataract as commonest observed morbidity in our study was 60%, DM 37%, hypertension 34%, IHD 33.5%, anemia 21%, hearing loss 11.5% and cancer was 4%. Out of 45 deaths, 44.4% deaths occurred in patients with IHD as risk factor, 26.6% deaths occurred in patients with COPD as risk factor, 22.2% deaths occurred in patients with CVA/stroke as risk factor and 17.8% deaths occurred in patients with AKI as risk factor. So IHD, COPD, CVA and AKI were significantly associated with mortality. Conclusion: Commonly observed morbidities were cataract (60%), diabetes mellitus (37%), hypertension (34%), ischemic heart disease (33.5%) Significant association of mortality was seen with ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cerebrovascular accident and acute kidney injury.

ObjectiveTo assess differences in weight status and movement behaviour guideline compliance among children aged 5–12 years with and without a family history of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).DesignProspective.Setting and participantsWomen born between 1973 and 1978 were recruited to the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) via the database of the Health Insurance Commission (now Medicare; Australia’s universal health insurance scheme). In 2016–2017, women in that cohort were invited to participate in the Mothers and their Children’s Health Study and reported on their three youngest children (aged <13 years). Data from children aged 5–12 years (n=4416) were analysed.MeasuresMothers reported their children’s height and weight, used to calculate body mass index (kg/m2), physical activity, screen time and sleep. In the 2015 ALSWH Survey, women reported diagnoses and family history of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and hypertension. Logistic regression models determined differences between outcomes for children with and without a family history of NCDs.ResultsBoys with a family history of type 2 diabetes had 30% (95% CI: 0.51%–0.97%) and 43% lower odds (95% CI: 0.37%–0.88%) of meeting the sleep and combined guidelines, respectively, and 40% higher odds (95% CI: 1.01%– 1.95%) of being overweight/obese. Girls with a family history of hypertension had 27% lower odds (95% CI: 0.57%–0.93%) of meeting the screen time guidelines. No associations were observed for family history of heart disease.ConclusionsChildren who have a family history of type 2 diabetes and hypertension may be at risk of poorer health behaviours from a young age. Mothers with a diagnosis or a family history of these NCDs may need additional support to help their children develop healthy movement behaviours and maintain healthy weight.

Inflammatory Effect

Non-communicable diseases such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes melitus, and kidney disease are leading causes of death in the world. There are many risk factors which can contribute to non-communicable diseases such as dietary. Vegetable consumption such as tomato may lower risk factors to non-communicable diseases because of its active ingredient, lycopene, retinol, alpha tomatine, and tomatidine. In this study, authors aim to explain the mechanism of tomato’s active compound in lowering risk factors of non-communicable disease based on biomarker found on each disease collected from recent epidemiological, in silico, in vitro, and in vivo researches. Lycopene and retinol have proven in reducing ischemic heart disease and stroke because of its anti-atherogenic properties and anti-inflammatory effect. Anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effect of lycopene also proven in lowering risk factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases by modulate reverse cholesterol transport, so cholesterol homeostasis is created. In lung cancer, lycopene and other bioactive compound such as α-tomatine and tomatidine also have an anti-proliferative effect by interacting with Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Its ability to reduce the final product of lipid peroxidation level makes lycopene lower Alzheimer risk factor. There is much more function of tomato’s active coumpound although pure tomato has contradictive effect on some disease.

In this paper I discuss how a Physical Cultural Studies approach offers a different way of understanding the complex experiences of health, emotional wellbeing and (in)active embodiment as social practices. Non-communicable ‘diseases’ (diabetes, heart disease, cancer, obesity etc) and sedentary lifestyles are growing public health problems in the global South and North. There is a need for new sociocultural approaches to understanding physical (in)activity as a form of body practice and embodied movement that is profoundly biopolitical.

Abstract Objective To quantify and compare the contribution of 306 diseases and injuries to the changes in health adjusted life expectancy at birth (HALE 0 ) between 1990 and 2013. Design Retrospective demographic analysis based on aggregated data and using life table technique, Sullivan method, and decomposition method for differences in health expectancy. Setting The globe, 21 regions, and 187 countries, covered in the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2013. Main outcome measures Cause specific contribution to changes in HALE 0 between 1990 and 2013 in terms of mortality effect, disability effect, and total effect. Results Between 1990 and 2013, global HALE 0 increased by 5.31 years for males and 5.73 years for females. The cross national Gini coefficient of HALE 0 for both sexes combined decreased by 15.22% from 0.0736 to 0.0624. HALE 0 declined in 11 countries during the period, predominantly owing to HIV/AIDS except in Belize, Belarus, and Paraguay. Controlling communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases accounted for 56.47% (3.10 years) of changes in HALE 0 for both sexes combined, followed by non-communicable diseases (30.05%; 1.65 years) and injuries (13.67%; 0.75 years). Globally, HIV/AIDS caused the biggest reduction in HALE 0 (–0.28 years) and mainly afflicted residents in southern (–7.86 years), western (–1.53 years), and eastern (–1.38 years) sub-Saharan Africa. Diabetes had the second biggest negative total effect on changes in HALE 0 (–0.12 years), which was quite widespread across regions. Despite their positive total effect in high income regions, such non-communicable diseases as ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and hypertensive heart disease had a negative total effect in many low and middle income regions. Mortality reduction was the predominant driver (93.62%; 5.14 years) for improvement in HALE 0 , accompanied by an increase of 0.80 years in life expectancy lived with disability at birth. Only 44 (27%) of 163 causes at level 3 in the GBD cause hierarchy influenced changes in HALE 0 , mainly or only through disability. Conclusions Between 1990 and 2013, the globe made achievements in not only promoting population health as a whole but reducing health inequality between countries. This study pinpoints the priority diseases and injuries for altering the declining health trend in 11 countries, for curbing the epidemic of non-communicable diseases in low and middle income countries, and for promoting compression of morbidity worldwide. The detailed country specific decomposition results of effects of diseases and injuries on change in population health will further facilitate the development of national health policies.
