Background: The overall imbalance between unhealthy diet intake and physical activity leads to obesity which contributes to high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It is multi factorial disease and changes in the levels of blood pressure and blood lipids differ by age sex and race and are influenced by body fat and dietary patterns. These risk factors need to be monitored and evaluated in childhood and adolescents. So identifying and modifying the risk factors in early age reduces the incidence in adolescents and adult. Prevalence of hypertension varies across countries and states. The prevalence of hypertension in India is reported as ranging from 10 to 30.9%. The objective of the present study is to observe the prevalence hypertension among study population and to study contributing factors for hypertension among study population.Methods: A cross sectional study done on 100 adolescents and young adults of both sexes in the age group 17 to 25 years from 2 degree colleges randomly selected in Nizamabad city, Telangana, India.Results: In the present study population 52 were males and 48 were females, 22 students belongs to rural area and 78 belongs to urban area, pre-hypertension and hypertension was found 8% in both age groups. Overweight and obesity (>25) was found 7% in 17-19 age group and 9% in 20-25 age group. Pre-hypertension and hypertension was found among 10% of alcoholics.Conclusions: The result of our study concluded that there is increasing prevalence of hypertension with increase in age and is associated with overweight and obesity.

Study Participants

The burden of malnutrition is often estimated in terms of ‘prevalence’ without considering two important contributing factors: incidence and duration. To illustrate this, we conducted a community-based retrospective cohort study involving 24,278 children enrolled in an integrated child development scheme in India. Anthropometric data of study participants from birth to five years of age were collected from the growth charts maintained by Anganwadi workers. Of all the growth charts reviewed, 1460 (6.0%) children died before their fifth birthday and 4013 (16.5%) were excluded after initial screening because either the growth chart was incomplete (4.8%) or had missing entries (11.7%). Of the remaining 20,265 children included in the study, in the first five years of their life, 35.6% suffered from exclusive moderate malnourishment and 9.4% from severe malnourishment. The most common age groups for the onset of moderate and severe malnutrition were 9–11 months and 12–15 months, respectively. The mode, median and mean duration of time spent by children being severely underweight was 3, 7 and 8.4 months respectively, and being moderately underweight was 8, 11 and 15.1 months, respectively. Thus, a comprehensive strategy for preventing the onset of malnutrition (both moderate and severe) among children is urgently needed.

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the most common male sexual dysfunction all over the World. It is underestimated in developing countries including Nigeria because it is assumed not to be a life threatening condition which is associated with stigmatization and poor health seeking behavior. The Prevalence rate of ED among specific age groups has not been reported in most available local studies. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence rates of ED and the severity of ED among different age groups and patients’ awareness of its treatment. Methods: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional hospital based survey among men aged 18 years and above seen in the outpatient clinics of University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja, Nigeria. Self reported erectile dysfunction was obtained using proforma. The prevalence and severity of ED was obtained using International Index of Erectile Function-5 Questionnaire (IIEF-5). Results: A total of 378 subjects were recruited for this study with age range of 18-76 years. The prevalence of ED in this study using IIEF-5 was 66.4%. The prevalence of ED was noted to increase with increasing age as ED was more prevalent (59%) among men aged 60-79 year. ED was least common among the young subjects (15.7%) and the most severe ED found among the elderly There was a positive correlation between age and ED (rho =0.306). There was statistically significance association between ED and co-morbidities with hypertension accounting for 22.5% and diabetes 16.7%. The percentage of subjects aware of treatment for ED was 39.4% and 20.4% of the subjects had sought help from doctors. Only about a quarter (26.5%) of the subjects had their sexual challenges discussed with the doctor. Conclusion: ED is a common medical and social problem in our environment though still shrouded in secrecy. ED is more prevalent and severe among age 60-79 years. Awareness of treatment seeking behavior and the ability of the attending physicians to discuss with men about their sexual health remains quite poor in our environment.

Background: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease with diet being one of the contributing factors. The influence of vegetarianism on the development of caries has scarcely been investigated in the past. Therefore, this study was done to evaluate the association of dental caries with frequency of sugar exposures and vegetarian / mixed diet.Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted among 2500 school children of 12 and 15 years age groups selected on the basis of simple random sampling from different schools of the city. Dental caries was recorded using Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth index (WHO modification, 1997) and correlated with the different dietary variables. Subjects were also segregated on the basis of diet: vegetarian and mixed. Statistical analysis was done using Student t-test and Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient.Results: The prevalence of dental caries in the 12 and 15 year age group of subjects consuming mixed diet was 83.36% and 86.47% respectively. It was lower in case of subjects on vegetarian diet. The correlation between DMFS and TSE, FSE and AMSE was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05) in the 12 year age-group. In the 15 year age-group the correlation of DMFS with TSE and LSE was also found to be statistically significant (p<0.05).Conclusions: There was no statistically significant difference in dental caries status among subjects in both the groups (vegetarian and mixed). However, there was significant association between sugar exposures and dental caries among subjects of both the age-groups.

Instrumentalists are at risk to develop upper-body musculoskeletal problems (MSKPs). Identified risk factors include age, gender, instrument played, joint laxity, and poor technique or posture. In this study, we established the prevalence of MSKPs that affect the ability to play an instrument in the population of a professional-level symphonic orchestra and the relation of these problems to gender, age, and instrument. The members of the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra were recruited voluntarily. A questionnaire was used to obtain information on demographics, instrument played, and history of MSKP severe enough to affect their playing ability. Questions also covered alleviating and aggravating factors, upper-body areas involved, type of symptoms, and type of treatment sought. After the questionnaire was completed, all players underwent a neuromusculoskeletal upper-body examination. Of the 75 musicians participating, 81.3% reported having had an MSKP that affected their ability to play. Of these, 83.6% reported their MSKP was directly associated to playing. Females were more commonly affected, 87.5% vs. 79.7% for males. Lower-body strings (cello, bass) players and percussionists (93.3% and 100%, respectively) and younger (22-29 yrs) and older (50-61 yrs) populations (83.3% and 90.9%, respectively) reported more MSKPs. These age groups played more hours per week (28.7 and 32.0 hrs, respectively). In all groups, low back pain was the most common complaint, present in 75.4% of those with MSKPs. Upper-body strings (violin, viola) players also reported neck and left shoulder problems. Contributing factors include hours of exposure and technical expertise. Female gender, age, and instrument played were found to be risk factors for developing MSKPs in this population.

Commercial/large-truck fatal crash involvement by drivers of different age groups is a critical issue for the trucking industry. Escalating safety concerns related to these heavy vehicles serving the freight economy in the U.S. have an impact national freight reliability and economic growth. This study identifies major contributing factors leading to large-truck fatal crashes for four age groups of driver: <30, 30–49, 50–65, and 65+. The analysis in this study is based on five years (2012–2016) of Fatality Analysis Reporting System data and provides an overall picture of risk factors in large-truck fatal crashes. In total, 30 variables were found to be significant in the logit models, indicating varying risks associated with large-truck drivers of these four age groups. Model results indicate different risk factors associated with driver characteristics, spatial and temporal characteristics, vehicle and vehicle maneuvering characteristics, and environmental conditions at the time of the crashes. Identifying the risk factors for different age groups of drivers is important so proper countermeasures can be implemented from the perspective of human factors (e.g., safe speed choice, fatigue), roadway engineering (e.g., design of roadside barriers, radius of ramps), enforcement (e.g., presence of law enforcement personnel at critical locations), and emergency medical attention in remote areas. Considering the aging of the truck driver population in the U.S. and around the world, the findings of this study are vital to understand better the importance of safety in relation to large-truck fatal crashes.
