Introduction: The prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide acquires epidemic dimensions. In Europe, five nosological groups (diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and mental disabilities) constitute 77% of NCDs and cause about 86% of deaths in the region.Objectives: This study aimed to assess the quality of life in patients with chronic non-communicable diseases under dispensary observation.Methods: The pilot cross-sectional study was performed among adult with chronic diseases in primary care practices in the Plovdiv district (the second largest in Bulgaria) from May to June 2013.Results: A total of 200 adults with chronic diseases participated in the study. The mean age was 55.6 years (range 25–95, standard deviation (SD) 16.9). The most common chronic diseases in our study were cardiovascular 51% (ischemic heart disease, hypertension, etc.), followed by endocrinology diseases (23%). There was statistically significant differences in the assessments of "general health" in different groups of participants by gender (χ2 = 16.65, P <0.002), age (χ2 = 12.57, P <0.05) and social status (χ2 = 28.54, P <0.0001).Conclusion: The subjective assessment of health is a factor that has a strong impact on the quality of life of patients and is an important component in evaluating the effectiveness of provided health care for patients with chronic non-communicable diseases.

Disaster-prone population is vulnerable for suffering non-communicable diseases (NCDs) which become risk factors for poor quality of life (QoL). The study aims at investigating the effect of history of NCDs to the QoL. QoL was measured by WHODAS. NCDs with prevalence more than 1% were involved in analysis. Those NCDs included shortness of breath, diabetes, hypertension, joint disease and stroke. Among 1,872 respondents of Riskesdas, 7.7% of them have a poor QoL, suffering hypertension (8.7%), shortness of breath (7.3%) and asthma (6.9%). Risks of poor QoL six times higher among those with a history of PTM (PORadj 5.987; 95% CI 4.210-8.514) after adjusted by age, gender, education, socioeconomic status and region of residence. Stroke gives the greatest impact with POR 25.00 (95% CI 10.406 to 60.063). We recommend that the promotion and prevention of NCDs should be integrated with both mitigation-related and community resilience activities to disasters.

Abstract BackgroundThe Coronavirus pandemic is presenting several challenges in Ethiopia on an unprecedented scale. It is affecting the country in different ways ranging from a significant impact on the economy to a disrupted public health delivery of both curative and preventive services. The aim of this study was to assess health related quality of life of patients with chronic non-communicable diseases during the Coronavirus pandemic in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.MethodsA multi-facility based cross sectional study design was conducted in August 2020 among public health institutions in Addis Ababa. Health facilities were chosen purposively based on high number of patient flow. Participants from each health facility were drawn after proportional to size allocation. A translated EQ-5D-3L VAS instrument was used to collect data. Analysis was done using SPSS v.26.0. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test, Spearman’s rank correlation test and Binary logistic regression were applied. ResultsOf the 409 participants included in the study, majority were in the age group of 46-60 (36%), females (56%), from hospitals (54.8%), jobless (25.4%), married (63.3%) and orthodox Christian (71.4%). Above two third of the patients reported no problems for self-care, usual activity and depression/anxiety. All dimensions showed an increasing proportion of moderate to severe problems in the age group beyond 45. Facility type (U=16651, P=0.001), comorbid condition (U=13248.00, P=0.000) and age (rs=-0.27, p=0.000) were found to show statistically significant score difference for GQoL. An overall prevalence of any problem was 59%. Education level, visit to a health center and marriage were associated with less odds of an affected HRQoL unlike lower monthly income and presence of comorbidities which were opposite.ConclusionsHRQoL of patients in the study settings was found to be suboptimal and below the general population. Education and arrangement of safe and quality health services to such group of patients is warranted especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Physical Deconditioning

A popular comorbidity of spinal cord injuries is physical deconditioning that frequently prejudice the person to increased risk for secondary non-communicable diseases, such as non-dependent insulin diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiorespiratory diseases, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis and osteoarthritis. Clinical literature has shown that spinal cord injured individuals have a poor cardiometabolic risk profile that amplifies the likelihood of secondary non-communicable diseases. Components of physical deconditioning include muscle atrophy, decreased aerobic capacity, inflexibility and diminished muscle and endurance. Another problem associated with spinal cord injuries is reliance or dependence on others. The combination of poor physical conditioning and dependence on others often adversely impacts on the individual’s quality of life, limiting their social interaction with others. The adherence to habitual physical activity and exercises has shown to increase conditioning status, improve health and wellbeing, increase independence, and improve confidence and self-image and successful re-integration in community. Therefore it is of paramount importance to increase awareness of the benefits of habitual physical activity and exercise to spinal cord injured patients, medical and clinical practitioners, family and friends. This chapter intends to highlight the health benefits of habitual physical activity in relation to selected secondary non-communicable diseases, and, the importance of interprofessional clinical and therapeutic team strategy to improve the spinal cord injured individuals’ quality of life.

Purposive sampling technique was used to select 200 subjects from selected villages of Udupi District. Result: showed that majority of subjects felt their quality of life was good [Median=4, IQR=3-4]. Majority of subjects [median=3, IQR=3-4] were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied towards their health. Compare to other domains psychological domain has Median=20, IQR=19-21 represents low quality of life. Overall quality of life of subjects with median=93 and IQR= 89- 98 represents good quality of life. Analysis based on diseases showed that people with diabetes mellitus had good quality of life as compared with people with other diseases. There was significant association between quality of life of subjects and age, education, occupation and marital status (P<0.05).
