Abstract The World Health Organization set a target of a 15% relative reduction in the prevalence of insufficient physical activity (IPA) by 2025 among adolescents and adults globally. In Bangladesh, there are no national estimates of the prevalence of IPA among adolescents. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of and risk factors associated with IPA among adolescent girls and boys. Data for 4865 adolescent girls and 4907 adolescent boys, collected as a part of a National Nutrition Surveillance in 2018–19, were analysed for this study. A modified version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was used to collect physical activity data. The World Health Organization recommended cut-off points were used to estimate the prevalence of IPA. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with IPA. Prevalences of IPA among adolescent girls and boys were 50.3% and 29.0%, respectively, and the prevalence was significantly higher among early adolescents (10–14 years) than late adolescents (15–19 years) among both boys and girls. The IPA prevalence was highest among adolescents living in non-slum urban areas (girls: 77.7%; boys: 64.1%). For both boys and girls, younger age, non-slum urban residence, higher paternal education and increased television viewing time were significantly associated with IPA. Additionally, residing in slums was significantly associated with IPA only among the boys. Higher maternal education was associated with IPA only among the girls. This study identified several modifiable risk factors associated with IPA among adolescent boys and girls in Bangladesh. These factors should be addressed through comprehensive public health interventions to promote physical activity among adolescent girls and boys.

Based on the results of a survey conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2012, the number of active smokers in the world has reached more than 1 billion people. This number is expected to continue to increase given the high prevalence of world cigarette consumption rates, while in Indonesia it is found that almost every year the number of smokers is increasing. Cigarettes containing chemicals including carbon monoxide, nicotine, tar, ammonia, arsenic, cyanide and lead (Pb) The main effect is lead that is inhaled and enters the respiratory system will also circulate throughout the tissues and organs of the body. More than 90% of lead metal absorbed by blood binds to red blood cells and results in a disruption in the process of hemoglobin synthesis. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of lead metal toxicity with an overview of smear preparations in the blood of active smokers. The research method with simple random sampling, samples taken capillary blood and making blood smear preparations that were examined with a microscope while examining the metal in the urine using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results of the study of lead content in urine of active smokers found that the high is 0.384 mg / dl and the low lead level is 0.002 mg / dl positive containing lead in the urine with the amount of lead content exceeding the threshold and from the results of the smear dosage found that normal or normociter cell size can be obtained normal or normochrome (1/3 of the center is pale) whereas abnormalities in the cell form are teardrop cells, ovalocytes, schistocyte, this is due to the effect of lead that disrupts health especially usually occurs in haemotopoetic systems (blood formation system)

The World Health Organization developed five keys to safer food’s guidelines. This study aimed to determine the relationships between food handlers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behavior to the guideline and Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination of food served at campus cafeterias. This cross-sectional study was carried out by interviewing 98 food handlers selling food and by testing samples for E. coli. The dependent variable was E. coli contamination, while the independent variables were the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of food handlers based on the guideline. Each independent variable had five sub-variables that corresponded to the guideline. The data were analyzed using chisquare and logistic regression tests. The results showed that food handlers’ knowledge of cooking food thoroughly was significantly related to E. coli contamination (P=0.54 [P<0.05]; OR=2.990;95%CI:1.093– 8.180). Furthermore, the food handlers’ attitudes toward cooking food thoroughly were related to E. coli contamination (P=0.58 [P<0.05]; OR=0.385;95%CI:0.157– 0.944). There were two factors related to E. coli contamination: the food handlers’ knowledge of and attitudes toward the third key of the five keys to food safety.

Anemia is one of the main public health issues among children in the world. The causes of anemia are multifactorial, but iron deficiency is the most common one. There are direct proportions between iron and body mass. The paper aimed at determining anemia prevalence in children aged 1-144 months in Al-wahda Hospital in Derna city during the first quarter of 2017, as well as determining the type of anemia. A sample of 129 children aged 1-144 M was tested for hemoglobin levels to diagnose anemia. Mean corporal values were measured to determine the type of anemia, and data were collected based on independent variables such as age and sex. The frequency was created, and comparisons were tested using chi-square. Anemia prevalence of overall sample was 65.11%. It was significantly higher in children aged (1-3 months) than those aged (4-6 months), and (7-144 months) (p =.001). Significant differences were found in anemia prevalence among boys and girls, where prevalence was higher in girls than in boys (P=.008). Prevalence of Microcytic hypochromic anemia was higher (69.4 %) compared to Normocytic normochromic (28.57%), and Macrocytic hyperchromic anemia (2.38%). Prevalence of anemia of the overall sample is considered as sever based on World Health Organization anemia classification. In addition, increased anemia prevalence in children less than 3 months shud be taken care of the Libyan government to prevent and control anemia in pregnant women. The high prevalence of Microcytic hypochromic in the overall sample was observed. Further estimation of iron and ferritin should do, and further evalution is needed to identify the causes of anemia in children under 12 years.
