This study assesses the determinants of family planning methods use by Turkish married men in South East Anatolia. A descriptive and cross-sectional survey research design was used among 1,352 men aged 20 to 52 years who lived in South East Turkey. A pilot-tested questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, chi-square, and multivariate regression analysis were used. The rate of nonusage of contraceptive methods among the participants was 60.4%. Within the nonusers, 34.9% reported a religious prohibition and 9.4% had misconceptions about family planning. Chi-square analysis determined four factors that were significantly related to the men’s usage of contraception. These factors are the following: the men’s age, educational level, number of existing children, and their perception of their household income level. These four factors were also subjected to multivariate regression analysis, the results of which were used to compute odds ratios for each value of each factor indicating the likelihood for using contraception by men within each group. Male-specific family planning programs can make an important contribution to the overall efforts to improve the usage of contraceptives by men. It is important to note that family planning services and education programs related to family planning should be appropriate for men.

Background Arterial stiffness assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate how various measures of obesity affect arterial stiffness. Methods We conducted a population-based cross-sectional survey in 8,042 South Indians above the age of 20 years. Following completion of a detailed medical history questionnaire, all participants underwent haemodynamic screening including brachial and central blood pressure, and PWV measurements using a high-fidelity applanation tonometry. The study included anthropometric measurements and fasting blood for total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and blood glucose (BG) levels. After the exclusion of people with previous history of diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia on drug therapy, 5,841 subjects (mean age 41.6 years; 58% women) constituted the study sample Results In an univariate analysis, PWV correlated positively with age, mean blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR), body fat percent (BF%), TC, TG, LDL and BG levels (P <0.001) and negatively with HDL levels (P=0.005). In a multivariate regression analysis, majority of the PWV variability in the model was accounted for by MAP and age, (cumulative adjusted R2 change of 32.79% as compared to the total adjusted R2 change of 35.25%). However, BMI (β= 0.042; adjusted R2 change=2.83%; p<0.001) independently correlated with PWV and its contribution to the PWV variability was far more significant compared to LDL, BG and TG (cumulative adjusted R2 change=1.08%). Multivariate regression analysis using the WC, WHR, or BF% instead of the BMI continued to demonstrate a significant independent effect of obesity parameters on PWV. Conclusion: In a large a population-based cross-sectional survey the study demonstrates a positive, independent association between obesity parameters and increased arterial stiffness.

Objectives: To investigate the correlation between bone density and osteoporosis with some clinical and subclinical factors in patients with dialysis chronic kidney patients. Materials and Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study, include 163 patients with dialysis chronic kidney disease, from January 2017 to December 2018 at the Department of Haemodyalysis, District 2 Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City. Results: Bone density was negatively correlated with age at the lumbar spine (LS) (r = - 0.225), total hip (total H) (r = - 0.288), femoral neck (FN) (r = - 0.352); with urea at the total H (r = - 0.206), FN (r = - 0.194); with PTH at LS (r = - 0.266), total H (r = - 0.219), FN (r = - 0.168); with β2 Microglobulin at the LS (r = - 0.269). Bone density was positively correlated with glomerular filtration rate at the LS (r = 0.200), FN (r = 0.179); with vitamin D at the LS (r = 0.218) and total H (r = 0.179). Multivariate regression analysis of the risk of decreased bone density at the FN has 2 factors: age (OR = 1.117), PTH (OR = 1.001); at the LS, there are 3 factors: gender (OR = 4.572), PTH (OR=4.078), age (OR = 1.045); at the total H, there are 2 factors: PTH (OR = 3.683), age (OR = 1.117). Osteoporosis in all 3 positions was related to sex (p < 0.05) and age group (p < 0.01). Osteoporosis was associated with PTH, Phosphorus, Aluminum disorders at the FN (p < 0.05), with PTH at the LS (p < 0.05), with PTH, calcium at the total H (p < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis of the risk of osteoporosis has 3 factors: age (OR = 4.058), PTH (OR = 2.967), female (OR = 2.841). Conclusion: Bone density, osteoporosis is correlated, associated with common factors and factors associated with bone mineral disorders in patients with dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD - MBD). Key words: End-stage chronic kidney disease, dialysis, bone density

Aim: The main aim of this study was to Evaluate of Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT) Index in 12 Year Old Students of Tehran City, and to identify related factors that affect dental caries within this group. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among students of 12 years old in Tehran, Iran. Dental caries status was assessed in terms of decayed teeth (DT), filled teeth (FT) and decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT). “Data were analysed using SPSS version 22; a multivariate regression analysis was used to determine statistically significant associations between DMFT and other variables (p < 0.05). Results: A total of 416 respondents participated in the study. The mean age of the students was10.94 (SD=0.628) years, and the mean DMFT was 1.03 (SD=1.41). So that, in this study DT (0.53 ± 0.95) had the highest and MT (0.14 ± 0.47) had the lowest mean. A multivariate regression analysis model results showed a significant relation between high DMFT scores and such variables as increasing age, lower levels of mother's education, higher family income, lower frequency of tooth brushing and dental flossing, having a history of no visits to the dentist (P<0.05). Conclusion: The current study shows that Iranian female students have a poor oral health behavior, as very few subjects use dental floss on a regular basis. Although there appeared to be a significant relationship between caries scores and demographic factors such as age and socio-behavioral variables include  family income, the level of mothers' education, the frequency of dental brushing and flossing, and both the frequency and type of visit to a dentist.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of utilization of family planning methods among married women of reproductive age in a semi urban community of Islamabad. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was done using two stage sampling, including cluster and consecutive sampling techniques. A proportionate sample from each mohallas of Nurpur Shahan was taken to achieve our sample size. All married women of the reproductive age group (15-45 years) living with their husbands, not diagnosed as a case of infertility and permanent residents of Nurpur Shahan were included. Results: Total of 550 women were included in the study with mean age of 31.64 years. Majority of women 497 (94.7%) were currently married while 322 (59.9 %) were literate. Of all the women, 72 (13.2%) women were currently pregnant and only 62 (11.3%) had a planned pregnancy. Induced abortion was practiced once by 9 (1.8%) women and 21 (4.1%) had done it twice. 394 (72.8%) had knowledge of family planning methods and only 102 (19.5%) women were using family Planning methods currently. Conclusion: Miscellaneous challenges are involved to increase involvement of the women and their families in the use of family planning services. Health education campaigns at community level to increase awareness regarding different family planning methods are highly needed. Government needs to improve the LHWs services to increase the use of family planning methods and combat induced abortions as a method of contraception. Controlling population through sterilization after attaining a large family size should not be the preferred method of family Planning.

This study aimed to evaluate the potential contribution of informal community initiatives and formal interventions in support of former child soldiers' resilience in the wake of armed conflict. Using a cross-sectional survey design, a stratified random sample of 330 formerly recruited and 677 nonrecruited young people was consulted about their perspective on desirable support for former child soldiers provided by close support figures, communities, humanitarian organizations, and governments. Data analysis occurred by conducting qualitative thematic analysis and statistical chi-square analysis to explore clusters, similarities, and variations in reported support across the different “agents,” hereby comparing the perspectives of formerly recruited and non-recruited participants. The results indicated that formerly recruited and non-recruited participants had comparable perspectives that call for the contribution of various informal and formal support systems to former child soldiers' human capacities and the communal sociocultural fabric of war-affected societies. This highlights the importance of community-based, collective, and comprehensive support of formerly recruited young people and their surroundings in the aftermath of armed conflict.

Pria telah mengikuti program keluarga berencana (KB) sejak dahulu. Metode pantang berkala dan kondom telah dikenal berabad-abad lalu, tetapi sejak ditemukan kontrasepsi wanita, program KB pada pria seakan diabaikan. Keikutsertaan pria dalam ber-KB masih sangat rendah jika dibandingkan dengan Bangladesh, Pakistan, dan Nepal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keikutsertaan pria dalam ber-KB meliputi keterpaparan media massa dan kontak informasi KB melalui media massa. Penelitian ini menggunakan data Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) tahun 2007 dengan pendekatan cross sectional terhadap 6.013 pria menikah usia 15 – 54 tahun. Teknik pengambilan sampel yangdigunakan adalah two stage sampling. Analisis data menggunakan chi square dan regresi logistik. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pria yang terpapar dengan media massa memiliki kecenderungan 2,12 kali lebih besar untuk ber-KB daripada pria yang kurang terpapar dengan media massa.Selain itu, penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa pria yang kontak informasi KB melalui media massa memiliki kecenderungan 2,21 kali lebih besar untuk ber-KB daripada pria yang tidak kontak informasi KB melalui media massa. Penelitian ini menunjukkan pria memiliki kecenderungan terbesar untuk ber-KB apabila pria terpapar media massa dan mendapatkan informasi KB melalui media massa dengan OR yang terbesar = 2,77.Kata kunci: keikutsertaan pria, keluarga berencana, media massaAbstractMen already used contraception with withdrawal and condom which had known centuries ago. Since contraception for women was found, men family planning program was likely ignored. The involving of men in family planning in Indonesia is still lower than Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal. The objective of this study is to analyze the credencial factor of men participation in family planning through mass media exposure and contact information. This study used Indonesia Demografic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2007 data used cross-sectional study and 6.013 married men aged 15 – 54 years old as participants. Sampling method used is two stage sampling. Data wasanalyzed by chi square and logistic regression. The research showed that men who were exposed mass media 2,12 times more involved in family planning than men who were not exposed mass media and men who were contact information in family planning through mass media 2,21 times moreparticipating in family planning than men who were not. The result showed that men have the highest possibility to participate in family planning if exposed by mass media and contacted to family planning information through mass media with biggest OR = 2,77.Keywords: The involvement of men, family planning, mass media

Background: The contraceptive implant (Implanon) has been recognised as one of the most effective family planning methods and is a healthier choice for women in Africa due to its efficacy and convenience. Despite the evidence of effectiveness and safety of the implant, the actual uptake for Implanon use in the Ugu district of KwaZulu-Natal is relatively low. The aim of the study was to determine factors associated with Implanon uptake in Ugu North Sub District 2016/17.Methods: An observational cross-sectional study with an analytical component using self-administered questionnaires to collect information from 385 participants using randomised systematic sampling was conducted at family planning clinics at GJ Crookes Hospital and seven surrounding primary health care clinics. The chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression was used to determine associations.Results: Some 16% (n = 60) of the participants utilised Implanon. Despite having the correct knowledge 65.7% (n = 220) were not willing to use Implanon if it were offered. In addition, 55% of participants (n = 177) believed Implanon had more side effects. Parity ( 4 children) was found to be a statistically significant protective factor against (p 0.05) Implanon uptake.Conclusion: Implanon is a highly unattractive method of contraception for women residing in the Ugu North Sub District. Fear of side effects and invasive method of insertion were identified as the major barriers to Implanon use. Education and increased patient awareness are strategies to increase the desirability and uptake of Implanon.

Background and objectives The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted health systems worldwide, including in Bangladesh, limiting access to family planning information (FP) and services. Unfortunately, the evidence on the factors linked to such disruption is limited, and no study has addressed the link among Bangladeshis. This study aimed to examine the socioeconomic, demographic, and other critical factors linked to the use of FP in the studied areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods The characteristics of the respondents were assessed using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey and descriptive statistics. The variables that were substantially linked with FP usage were identified using a Chi-square test. In addition, a multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the parameters linked to FP in the study areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results The prevalence of FP use among currently married 15–49 years aged women was 36.03% suggesting a 23% (approximately) decrease compared to before pandemic data. Results also showed that 24.42% of the respondents were using oral contraceptive pills (OCP) which is lower than before pandemic data (61.7%). Multivariate regression analysis provided broader insight into the factors affecting FP use. Results showed that woman’s age, education level of the respondents, working status of the household head, locality, reading a newspaper, FP workers’ advice, currently using OCP, ever used OCP, husbands’ supportive attitude towards OCP use, duration of the marriage, ever pregnant, the number of children and dead child were significantly associated with FP use in the study areas during COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions This study discusses unobserved factors that contributed to a reduction in FP use and identifies impediments to FP use in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 epidemic. This research further adds to our understanding of FP usage by revealing the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on FP use in Bangladesh’s rural and urban areas.
