Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of physiologically dysregulated parameters that can include elevated fasting blood glucose, high blood pressure, central obesity, increased triglyceride levels, insulin resistance, diabetes, elevated low density lipoprotein levels, and reduced high density lipoprotein levels in the blood. Effective clinical management of MetS is critical as it is strongly associated with long lasting and fatal complications in patients. Alongside standard care of lifestyle changes and medication, dietary supplements derived from herbal resources could be an alternative therapeutic strategy that is safe, efficient, culturally acceptable, and has few side effects. Of the dietary supplements, spicy foods have always been considered a great source of functional bioactive compounds. Herbal therapy is broadly used in many countries as a treatment or as a preventive measure in the management of MetS risk factors, including blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels. Herein, an attempt is made to evaluate the recent studies in the management of MetS with herbal alternatives, and to explore the possibility of their use as therapeutic treatments or supplements.

Prevention Of Cancer

India is a developing country with one of the most diverse population and diet in the world. Cancer rates in India are lower than those seen in Western countries but are rising with increasing migration of rural population to the cities, increase in life expectancy and changes in lifestyles. In India, rates for oral and oesophageal cancer are some of the highest in the world. In contrast, the rates for colorectal, prostate, and lung cancers are one of the lowest. Studies of Indian immigrants in Western societies indicate that rates of cancer and other chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease and diabetes increase dramatically after a generation in the adopted country. Change of diet is among the factors that may be responsible for the changing disease rate. In prevention of cancer in India attention being focused on certain aspects of Indian diet such as vegetarianism, spices, and food additives such as turmeric. Researcher also has investigated cumin, chillies, kalakhar, Amrita Bindu and various plant seeds for their apparent cancer preventive properties. From a public health perspective, there is an increasing need to develop cancer prevention programs responsive to the unique diet and cultural practices of the people of India.

e18149 Background: Community outreach is commonly used to disseminate cancer prevention & screening guidelines (CPSG). Minority, immigrant populations with language barriers tend to be excluded from these activities due to the lack of bilingual professionals available to deliver this education. This program was aimed to test whether CPSG education improves knowledge after being taught by an English-speaking medical professional and nonmedical, community-based interpreters working in South Asian and Hispanic communities in New York City (NYC). Methods: Team members from two cancer centers and community-based minority organizations in NYC partnered to create and deliver programs on CPSG to linguistically diverse communities by an English-speaking medical professional utilizing community-based interpreters. Participant knowledge was assessed using matched pre-post surveys in participants’ respective languages. Behavioral intention was measured using a Likert scale from 1-4 with anchors at 1) “Will not do it” and 4) “Already have/doing it”. Paired t-tests were used to compare pre to post mean score and a p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Behavioral intention rated positively if participants endorsed “will do it” or “already doing” the healthy behavior. Results: 188 community dwelling adults participated in 5 educational sessions, 122 completing pre and post assessments. Median age was 68, two thirds (69%) were female. 94% were born outside of the US, coming from 12 different countries, speaking 6 different primary languages. Knowledge increased from an average of 33% correct responses pre-session to 63% correct post-session – a statistically significant change ( t (121) = -10.58, p < .001). Behavioral intention scores reveal 83-96% participants reporting they will continue to or plan to seek screening and screening information from their doctors as well as make lifestyle changes related to decreasing their cancer risk. Conclusions: This program demonstrates CPSG can not only be taught in English with use of interpreters, but can be successfully received by immigrant community participants who historically may not have these programs available to them due to language barriers.
