Abstract Background: Globally, khat chewing practice becoming an alarming and common among the youth generation especially in higher educational institutions. It may also leads to frequent misbehavior, poor academic performance and memory impairment among students. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of khat chewing and associated factors among medical students in University of Gondar, Northwest Ethiopia, 2019.Method: An institution-based cross-sectional study was employed on 422 medical students. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 20 software. Stratified followed by random sampling was employed to select the samples. Multivariable logistic regression model was fitted to identify the predictors. P ≤ 0.05 was used to select statistically significant factors.Result: The current prevalence of khat chewing among medical students was 21.5%. The odds of khat chewing was higher among males [AOR=3.353; 95%CI (1.460-7.701)], Muslims [AOR=6.390; 95%CI (1.903-21.460)], fifth and six year students [AOR= 3.391; 95%CI (1.354-8.488)], smokers [AOR=5.081; 95%CI (1.898-13.601)], alcohol users [AOR=4.872; 95%CI (2.094-11.332)], students who had khat chewer close friends [AOR=30.645; 95%CI (12.261-76.589)].Conclusion: Since a significant proportion of students chew khat, continuous awareness creation on the impact of khat chewing and counseling services are recommended.

Background: Adequate fluid consumption and hydration status of students become a special concern because being dehydrated by just 1%-2% can impair cognitive performance. The objectives of this study were to assess the daily fluid consumption, and analyze the correlation of fluid consumption and other associated factors with hydration status of medical students in Universitas Sriwijaya.Methods: A total of 93 medical students in Universitas Sriwijaya were recruited to complete a 7-day cross-sectional study. Subjects were asked to complete a self-administered 7-day-24-hours fluid record and provide first morning urine sample on the last day. Gender information was collected. Physical activity was evaluated by self-administered long version of IPAQ. Body mass index was calculated using body weight and body height measurement. Urine specific gravity was determined by urinometer. The 7-day-24-hours fluid record and 1-day-24-hours urine specific gravity were calculated and analyzed.Results: Majority of the subjects were well hydrated, while 10.8% were slightly dehydrated, 6.5% were moderately dehydrated and 9.7% were severely dehydrated. The average of daily fluid consumption was 1789.28 (989.3-2930) mL. Coefficient correlation of fluid consumption from beverages with urine specific gravity was -0.651 (p=0.00) by Pearson correlation test. The hydration status showed no association with gender, physical activity and body mass index.Conclusions: Most subjects in this study were well hydrated. A strong association was found between fluid consumption and hydration status. It was feasible to use daily fluid consumption from beverages to predict hydration status.

AbstractIntroductionMedical students are vulnerable group to migraine, one of the most common type of headache worldwide. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of migraine and related disability among medical students of Bangladesh.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 1327 students from six medical colleges Bangladesh during March 2021 through a self-administered online survey. ID Migraine™ scale and MIDAS scale were used to screen migraine and migraine related disability respectively. Frequency distribution, and Chi-square test, t-test along with multiple logistic regressions model were used to determine the prevalence and associated factors of migraine respectively.ResultsThe overall prevalence of migraine among the participants was 19%. The prevalence was higher among females (27%) than males (8%). Female sex (aOR 4.11, 95% CI 2.79-6.03) and poor sleep quality (aOR 2.07, 95% CI 1.48-2.91) were identified as independent risk factors of migraine. More than 90% migrainures reported to suffer from moderate to severe headache. Nausea was most commonly reported associated symptom (83.5%) followed by photophobia (72%) and vomiting (53%). Self-reported mental stress (55%), irregular sleep (49%), noise (30.5%), and usage of electronic device (30.5%) were most commonly reported triggering factor of migraine attack. More than half of the sufferers reported severe migraine related disability (MIDAS score ≥ 21).ConclusionsThe prevalence of migraine among medical students of Bangladesh is alarmingly high. Frequent migraine attacks and severe intensity of headache cause a substantial level of disability among the sufferers. Cautious avoidance of the triggering factors through appropriate interventions and prophylactic medication can mitigate the negative impact of migraine as well as improve the quality of life.
