Nutritional and health claims are a useful tool for promoting healthier food choices and prevent non-communicable disease[s] (NCDs). Exhaustive literature that has investigated consumer evaluation of the presence of nutritional and/or health claim(s) during the decision-making process suggests that consumers’ sensitivity towards nutritional claims (NCs) and health claims (HCs) are still fragmented and should be further investigated. Our objective is to study the relationship between choice behaviour, attitudes and socio-demographic characteristics in order to evaluate the effectiveness of consumer characteristics in predicting Spanish consumers’ choice of products with NCs and HCs. A discrete choice experiment for yoghurt was conducted on a sample of 218 Spanish consumers, stratified by age, gender, education level, and income. Applying a latent class approach has enabled us to identify a niche of individuals, sensitive of NCs and HCs and to characterize them with respect to the rest of population. Results suggest that consumers positively valued most claims, however, the valuation was heterogeneous, and three consumer segments were identified: ‘health-claims oriented’, ‘nutritional- and health-claim oriented’ and ‘indifferent’. The results supply insights for the development of more targeted promotion campaigns, as well as for further actions in food marketing.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious non-communicable disease that poses a significant burden on healthcare and society. It is essential to devise new strategies to better treat patients with CKD. Research has illustrated that gut dysbiosis, describing an abnormal intestinal ecology, is closely associated with CKD. In this narrative review, we summarized the evidence of their mutual relationship and discussed the potential treatment options to correct gut dysbiosis in patients with CKD. Gut dysbiosis significantly increases the risk of CKD, especially in the older population. Gut dysbiosis also plays a role in CKD complications, such as hypertension, cardiovascular events, and cognitive dysfunction. The relationship between gut dysbiosis and CKD is bidirectional, and CKD itself can lead to changes in gut microecology. The usual therapies for CKD can also increase the incidence of gut dysbiosis. Meanwhile, probiotics and antibiotics are generally used to correct gut dysbiosis. Further studies are required to elaborate the association between gut dysbiosis and CKD, and more treatment options should be explored to prevent CKD in patients with gut dysbiosis.

Heterogeneity Of Preferences

The aim of this paper is to investigate consumers’ preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for functional mozzarella cheese whose health benefits (reduced fat and enrichment in omega-3) are communicated by using nutrition claims (article 8) and health claims (articles 13 and 14) of the EU Regulation 1924/2006. In order to achieve the stated objective a choice survey was developed and administered to a sample of Italian respondents. The product attributes and attribute levels included in the choice experiment were obtained from in-depth interviews conducted with stakeholders working on the development of this new product in the Italian region of Puglia. Results show that many participants were not aware of functional food. Marketing segmentation performed via latent class analysis indicates that the development of this hypothetical product should be based on the addition of naturally enriched omega-3. In terms of health communication under Regulation 1924/2006, heterogeneity of preferences of the nine identified segments reveals that respondents have a clear preference for products from the Puglia region, for the combined nutrition claim over single nutrition claims and for the reduction of disease health claim (article 14) over the health claim (article 13). In monetary terms, willingness to pay for health claims is higher than nutrition claims.

I think it is fair to say that the broad focus of health psychology in the UK is on non-communicable disease and lifestyle-related health behaviours. I would like to suggest that perhaps the discipline could devote a little more time to infectious diseases, and not just because we find ourselves in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. In this reflective piece, I outline some of the assumptions that I held, that I sought to challenge in Stage 1 students, and that I suspect are relatively implicit across health psychology as a discipline.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has left infected patients with comorbidities in severe and deadly conditions. Hypertension is a non-communicable disease (NCD) and is one of the most common comorbidities observed in COVID-19 patients. Purpose: This study aims to understand the relationship between hypertension and the risk of death through COVID-19. Method: The study employed a systematic review of journals. Journals and articles related to hypertension and COVID-19 were collected and analyzed. The inclusion criteria was COVID-19 articles pertaining to hypertensive patients, and the exclusion criteria was articles that did not use English as well as those that did not display full text. Result: Hypertension is a multifactorial disease. The presence of hypertension is often not realized by the sufferer. A COVID-19 infection can worsen the condition of the person and can cause damage to vital organs. The use of antihypertensive drugs of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and the angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) groups can be continued to be administered to hypertensive patients. There should be no cause for concern for these patients to develop COVID-19 infections by taking these drugs. Conclusion: The risk of developing hypertension is that it can cause organ damage and lead to various complications. The SARS-CoV-2 infection in people with hypertension as a comorbidity, could worsen the condition of the individual until death occurs. Thus, hypertension management is necessary to properly minimize the severity.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a non-communicable disease as the main cause of death worldwide. This study aimed to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), blood pressure, and lipid profile with coronary heart disease in adults. This study used secondary data from the Non-communicable Disease Risk Factors Cohort Study 2011-2018. The study design was a cohort. The research samples were adults aged 25 years and over in 5 villages in the city of Bogor. The number of samples analyzed was 4415 people. The analysis showed that the incidence of coronary heart disease in the sixth year of observation was 4.5 percent. The results of the Cox regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the systole blood pressure indicator showed as the best under curve area (AUC) among the BMI indicators, waist circumference, lipid profile, and diastolic blood pressure. Measurement of systolic blood pressure can be one of the strong predictors for screening coronary heart disease. Efforts to maintain blood pressure to remain normal as a preventive measure to prevent coronary heart diseaseABSTRAKPenyakit jantung koroner (PJK) merupakan penyakit tidak menular yang menjadi penyebab utama kematian di seluruh dunia.

Objective The association between ecological/lifestyle factors and major depressive disorder (MDD) have been provided but was inconsistent as characteristics of population including race, gender, etc.Methods Data were extracted from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and consisted of 35,839 adults including 1,537 with MDD. Ecological factors included age, sex, married status, education, family income, residence, occupation, BMI, self-recognition stress, and history of non-communicable disease. Smoking, drinking, regular exercise, total energy intake, and sleep was consisted for lifestyle factors. The relationship between MDD and ecological/lifestyle factors, was evaluated using the multiple logistic regression model after adjustment for covariates.Results The increased prevalence of MDD in men was related aged, unmarried, low educated, unoccupied, high BMI, and high self-recognition stress. To women, MDD prevalence was increased as aged, low educated and family income, resided in urban, unoccupied, high self-recognition stress and history of non-communicable disease. Current smoking/drinking and lack of sleep was positively related with prevalence of MDD in women. The relationship between lifestyle factors and MDD prevalence was influenced by ecological status, predominantly in women.Conclusion The relationship of lifestyle factors with MDD prevalence were observed and could be attenuated by various ecological factors, in women.

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease. This continues to increase from year to year, and can lead to various other chronic diseases. This study aims to analyze the effect of diet on hypertension in 2019. This type of research is an observational analytic study with a prospective cohort study design. The population in this study were all adults (26 - 45 years) at the Puskesmas Kebun Sikolos. By means of purposive random sampling, a sample of 110 respondents was selected. The data obtained were processed by computerization using the Chi-square test and the Mantel Haenszel test. Chi-square test results showed that there was a relationship between salt consumption (p = 0.004 and RR = 1.521), fat (p = 0.008 and RR = 1.464), fiber (p = 0.014 and RR = 2.047) and caffeine (p = 0.012 and RR = 1.438) against hypertension. The coat-Haenszel test results showed that age, gender, family history, physical activity, smoking habits, and obesity were confounding factors in the relationship between diet and hypertension. It can be concluded that the main factor that is closely related to hypertension is salt consumption. It is advisable to provide an understanding to the public about the risk of frequent salt consumption which causes hypertension to be very beneficial
