Background: Rapid urbanization and industrialization is leading to increased lifestyle risk factors and thus lifestyle diseases. Lifestyle diseases are causing more number of deaths and disability worldwide in recent years. Recent studies have shown a higher risk of lifestyle diseases among rural population. Hence this study was conducted to assess the lifestyle factors and lifestyle diseases and to know the prevalence of lifestyle diseases among rural population. Study design and setting: Cross-sectional study in Rural Health Training Centre, Sapthagiri Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Bengaluru.Methods: For a sample size of 108, systematic sampling was done and a questionnaire was administered. Data collected regarding lifestyle risk factors and diseases and analyzed using SPSS v 20. Results: 66 out of 108 participants (61.1%) had one or more lifestyle risk factors. Prevalence of lifestyle diseases was 37.03%. Hypertension was the most common disease with 27 (25%) cases followed by diabetes mellitus (16.7%) and asthma/COPD (7.5%). There was significant association between lifestyle factors like Tobacco and cigarette use, junk foods, overweight and obesity with lifestyle diseases. Conclusions: There is a need for population based program at primary level on lifestyle modification in the prevention of lifestyle diseases.

The Relationship

Objectives: To assess the relationship between modifiable lifestyle factors and risk of overweight/obesity in Chinese students, and to evaluate the predicting prevalence of overweight if the lifestyle risk factors were removed.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 40,141 students in grade three and above (8–24yrs) in 2019 in Zhejiang Province, China. Physical examination was performed, and a self-administered questionnaire was used to collect lifestyle information, including dietary behavior, physical activity, TV watching, sleeping, smoking, drinking, and tooth-brushing habits. Logistic regression models were performed to assess the relationship between overweight/obesity and a series of lifestyle factors. Population attributable fractions (PAFs) were used to calculate the predicting prevalence of overweight/obesity if lifestyle risk factors were removed.Results: The prevalence of overweight/obesity of participants was 25.5% (male 32.3%, female 18.1%). Overweight/obesity were associated with adverse lifestyle factors, such as watch TV ≥1 h/day (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.11–1.22), insufficient sleep (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.11–1.22), and irregular toothbrushing habits (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.01–1.39). Based on the calculated PAFs, the predicted prevalence of overweight/obesity would decline moderately if lifestyle factors were modified, with the magnitudes of decrease vary by sex, age and residence. Generally, a larger reduction was estimated if the sleeping time was increased and TV time was reduced, with the prevalence of overweight/obesity decreased by 1.1% (95% CI: 0.7, 1.5%) and 0.9% (95% CI: 0.6, 1.2%), respectively.Conclusions: Predicted prevalence of overweight/ obesity in Chinese students may decrease if modifiable lifestyle risk factors were removed. The attributable risk for obesity of lifestyle behaviors varied in age, sex and residence groups. The findings of this study may provide insights for planning and optimizing future obesity intervention endeavors.

AbstractBackgroundThis study examined the incidence of a person’s first diagnosis of a selected chronic disease, and the relationships between modifiable lifestyle risk factors and age to first of six chronic diseases.MethodsOntario respondents from 2001 to 2010 of the Canadian Community Health Survey were followed up with administrative data until 2014 for congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive respiratory disease, diabetes, lung cancer, myocardial infarction and stroke. By sex, the cumulative incidence function of age to first chronic disease was calculated for the six chronic diseases individually and compositely. The associations between modifiable lifestyle risk factors (alcohol, body mass index, smoking, diet, physical inactivity) and age to first chronic disease were estimated using cause-specific Cox proportional hazards models and Fine-Gray competing risk models.ResultsDiabetes was the most common disease. By age 70.5 years (2015 world life expectancy), 50.9% of females and 58.1% of males had at least one disease and few had a death free of the selected diseases (3.4% females; 5.4% males). Of the lifestyle factors, heavy smoking had the strongest association with the risk of experiencing at least one chronic disease (cause-specific hazard ratio = 3.86; 95% confidence interval = 3.46, 4.31). The lifestyle factors were modelled for each disease separately, and the associations varied by chronic disease and sex.ConclusionsWe found that most individuals will have at least one of the six chronic diseases before dying. This study provides a novel approach using competing risk methods to examine the incidence of chronic diseases relative to the life course and how their incidences are associated with lifestyle behaviours.

Background: Hypertension is one of the most important non-communicable diseases. Although high blood pressure is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the prevalence of hypertension still remains unclear for most populations. The objectives of the study were to estimate the prevalence of hypertension in rural area of Faizabad and to identify the associated risk factors for hypertension.Methods: This community-based cross sectional study was carried out among 300 adults from a randomly selected village in rural health training centre, Safdarganj who were aged 18 years and above over a period of 3 months from March 2019 to May 2019. Participants were interviewed and examined for the assessment of socio-demographic detail, behavioral and lifestyle risk factors of hypertension. Template generated in MS excel sheet and analysis was done on SPSS software.Results: Among 300 study participants, 45.3% were male and 54.7% were female. The prevalence of hypertension was observed to be 10.33%. It was found to be more common in females. Prevalence increased as the age increased. The prevalence of hypertension was high among obese and those consuming more than 2 spoons of salt every day.Conclusions: Prevalence of hypertension is different in different parts of the country. Higher age, male sex, tobacco use, obesity, less physical activity and high salt intake are significantly associated with hypertension.

Background: Infection with human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) has been suggested to increase multiple sclerosis (MS) risk. However, potential interactions between HHV-6A and environmental/lifestyle risk factors for MS have not previously been studied. Methods: We used two Swedish population-based case-control studies comprising 5993 cases and 5995 controls. Using logistic regression models, subjects with different HHV-6A antibody levels, environmental exposures, and lifestyle habits were compared regarding MS risk, by calculating odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Potential interactions between high HHV-6A antibody levels and common environmental exposures and lifestyle factors were evaluated on the additive scale. Results: High HHV-6A antibody levels were associated with increased risk of developing MS (OR = 1.5, 95% CI = 1.4–1.6). Regarding MS risk, significant interactions were observed between high HHV-6A antibody levels and both smoking (attributable proportion (AP) = 0.2, 95% CI = 0.1–0.3), low ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure (AP = 0.3, 95% CI = 0.1–0.4), and low vitamin D levels (AP = 0.3, 95% CI = 0.0–0.6). Conclusion: High HHV-6A antibody levels are associated with increased MS risk and act synergistically with common environmental/lifestyle risk factors for MS. Further research is needed to investigate potential mechanisms underlying the interactions presented in this study.

ObjectiveTo test for interactions between APOE ε4 genotype and lifestyle factors on worse cognitive abilities in UK Biobank.MethodsUsing UK Biobank cohort data, we tested for interactions between APOE ε4 allele presence, lifestyle factors of alcohol intake, smoking, total physical activity and obesity, and sex, on cognitive tests of reasoning, information processing speed, and executive function (n range = 70,988–324,725 depending on the test). We statistically adjusted for potential confounders of age, sex, deprivation, cardiometabolic conditions, and educational attainment.ResultsThere were significant associations between APOE ε4 and worse cognitive abilities, independent of potential confounders, and between lifestyle risk factors and worse cognitive abilities; however, there were no interactions at multiple correction-adjusted p < 0.05, against our hypotheses.ConclusionsOur results do not provide support for the idea that ε4 genotype increases vulnerability to the negative effects of lifestyle risk factors on cognitive ability, but rather support a primarily outright association between APOE ε4 genotype and worse cognitive ability.

Lifestyle Risk

Background: Hypertension is one of the more common non communicable diseases worldwide. There is the need for life style modifications along with the treatment for managing these diseases. But some people may continue with the lifestyle risk factors even after the occurrence of the disease, leading to complications in future. The study was planned with the objectives of identifying the prevailing lifestyle risk factors and association with blood pressure control and identifying the association between the lifestyle risk factors and complications of hypertensive patients in the study area.Methods: This is a descriptive cross sectional study done in the rural field practice area of a Medical College. Using purposive sampling technique, 300 hypertensive patients attending the rural health training centre were selected as study participant. Data collection was done by structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done using SPSS 17.Results: Among the study group, males were 54% and females were 46%. The most common life style risk factors was sedentary type physical activity (50.7%), 27% of them added extra salt to their diet, 47.7% of them were current drinkers and 31.7% of them were current smokers. About 53% had controlled hypertension and 47% had uncontrolled hypertension. Physical activity and smoking have statistically significant association with blood pressure control. All the four risk factors like sedentary lifestyle, adding extra salt, drinking and smoking had statistically significant association with complications.Conclusions: Hypertensive patients who tend to continue the lifestyle risk factors are more prone to develop uncontrolled blood pressure which in turn leads to further complications. Thus proper health education, and awareness creation programmes needs to be done for lifestyle modification, as part of intervention.
