Abstract Background: Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable groups in traffic accidents. This study investigates the determinants of traffic behaviors of pedestrians. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the behavior of 600 pedestrians in the city of Urmia, northwestern Iran, was evaluated from May to October 2018, using a pedestrian traffic behavior questionnaire consisting of five dimensions: traffic violations, traffic distraction, adherence to traffic rules, aggressive behavior, and positive behaviors. Cluster sampling was conducted among 30% of the health centers in each district of the city. Thereafter, individuals were randomly selected from each center depending on the covered population. Results: Although 17% of the pedestrians demonstrated safe traffic behaviors, over 85% were distracted, more than 80% did not comply with traffic laws, the majority violated rules and displayed no positive traffic behaviors, and half of the participants were aggressive. Age, gender, marital status, education level, daily walking rate, and transportation mode were significant predictors of traffic behavior.Conclusion: Most pedestrians demonstrate unsafe traffic behaviors. The youth, those who were single, those with lower education, and those with less walking rate showcased higher unsafe behaviors. Training and intervention programs should be implemented to improve all domains of pedestrian traffic behaviors factoring in age and other predictors.

ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Meat is a food with high nutritional density that has significant participation in the Brazilian diet. However, in excess it can cause harm to health. The aim of this study was to analyze the meat intake (g/day) among adults according to sociodemographic, behavioral and health situation characteristics, and to assess the types of meat most consumed. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional population-based study conducted in the city of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, in 2008 and 2009. METHODS: Two-stage cluster sampling was used. The analysis included 948 adults between 20 and 59 years, who were participants in the Campinas Health Survey. Meat intake was assessed using 24-hour dietary recall. RESULTS: The mean meat intake adjusted for sex and age was 182.3 g (95% CI: 170.6-193.9 g), with significantly lower intake among women, individuals aged 50 years or over, those with the presence of two or more self-reported chronic diseases and those with three or more health complaints. Higher meat intake was found in segments with intermediate monthly family income (between 1 and 3 minimum wages), those with 16 or more appliances per household and those who consumed soft drinks seven days a week. Beef was consumed most frequently (44%) among the meats in the diet, followed by poultry, fish and pork. CONCLUSION: The data from this study reveal high meat intake in the population of Campinas and identify the segments that need to be prioritized for strategies directed towards appropriate meat intake.

Background : The hospital food acceptance is still a serious problem. The patient’s acceptance is indicated by the least amount of plate waste. High plate waste causes an intake incompatibility with nutritional needs, which ultimately affects malnutrition. The patient’s plate waste in obstetric and surgical room is still high ≥20%. The distribution timetable and food taste maybe a contributing factor.Objectives : To analyzed the correlation of distribution timetable and food taste with patient’s plate waste at obstetric and surgicall room in dr. Soebandi Hospital, JemberMethods: This study was an analytical survey with a cross sectional design. The sample was 51 subjects, taken by a purposive sampling. Sample were obstetric and surgical patients aged 18-60 years, received regular food and were in a conscious. The distribution timetable was obtained by observing the accuracy of food distribution time span from the kitchen of nutrition instalation untill food arrived at the patient for 3 days. Food taste was obtained through interviews and questionnaires. Plate waste was measured by visual comstock. Data were analyzed by Rank Spearman test.Results : The average plate waste of patients is 27.6%. The plate waste in male and female patient was significantly different (p=0.001). 52.9% subjects with large amounts of plate waste, get hospital food with the right distribution time. The distribution timetable wasn’t significantly correlated with plate waste (p=0.218). Subjects who considered their food taste good, almost all (71.4%) left little food. There was a significant positive correlation between taste of food and plate waste (p=0.001; r=0.471).Conclusions: Food distribution timetable isn’t related to patient’s plate waste. However, food taste is correlated with plate waste. The better of taste food, the less plate waste.ABSTRAK Latar Belakang : Penerimaan makanan rumah sakit masih menjadi masalah serius. Daya terima pasien ditunjukkan dengan banyak sedikitnya makanan tersisa. Tingginya sisa makanan menyebabkan ketidaksesuaian asupan dengan kebutuhan gizi yang akhirnya berdampak malnutrisi. Sisa makanan pasien di ruang obgyn dan bedah masih tinggi ≥20%. Jadwal distribusi dan citarasa makanan kemungkinan menjadi faktor penyebabnya.Tujuan : Menganalisis hubungan jadwal distribusi dan citarasa makanan dengan sisa makanan pasien di ruang perawatan obgyn dan bedah RSD. dr Soebandi Jember.Metode : Jenis penelitian ini survey analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional study. Sampel berjumlah 51 orang, diambil dengan teknik purposive samping. Sampel adalah pasien obsgyn dan bedah berumur 18-60 tahun, mendapat makanan biasa dan kondisi sadar. Jadwal distribusi didapatkan dengan mengamati ketepatan waktu distribusi makanan mulai dari dapur instalazi gizi hingga makanan sampai kepada pasien selama 3 hari. Citarasa makanan diperoleh melalui wawancara dan kuesioner. Pengukuran sisa makanan menggunakan visual comstock. Data dianalisis dengan uji korelasi Rank Spearman.Hasil : Rata-rata sisa makanan pasien di ruang obgyn dan bedah 27,6%. Sisa makanan pada pasien laki-laki dan perempuan berbeda signifikan (p=0,001). Sebanyak 52,9% pasien yang sisa makanannya banyak, mendapatkan makanan dengan jadwal distribusi yang tepat. Jadwal distribusi tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan sisa makanan (p=0,218). Subyek yang menilai citarasa makanannya baik, hampir semuanya (71,4%) menyisakan sedikit makanan. Terdapat korelasi positif yang signifikan antara citarasa makanan dengan sisa makanan (p=0,001; r=0,471).Kesimpulan : Jadwal distribusi makanan tidak berhubungan dengan sisa makanan pasien. Namun, citarasa makanan berhubungan dengan sisa makanan. Semakin baik citarasa makanan semakin sedikit sisa makanan.

Background: Complementary foods are foods intended for consumption by infants and young children to supplement then replace their milk diet. Compliance with labeling and nutritional composition standards conditions their nutritional quality. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the compliance level of Cereal-based Complementary Foods (CCFs) marketed in the city of Yaounde to related standards. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 125 mothers in 2 hospitals of Yaounde using probabilistic cluster sampling. The labelings and nutritional compositions of the most consumed CCFs coded as “ASC O”, “ASC I”, “ASC E” and “ASC A”, were compared to Codex Alimentarius standards at an acceptability threshold of 80%. Results: The labeling standards were 95.24%, 93.48%, 89.68% and 59.34% compliant for “ASC O”, “ASC I”, “ASC E” and “ASC A” respectively, 52.5%, 73.75%, 83. 75% and 35% for nutritional composition standards. 90% of these CCFs complied with labeling standards, while only 26% with nutritional composition standards. Conclusion: CCFs in Yaounde have as main defects: incomplete labels, labels with errors and falsities, protein and mineral deficiencies. Their producers, controllers, and buyers should respectively improve, control and seek their good quality for the well-being and good health of infants and young children.

Abstract Background Academic stress can cause mental and physical problems and affect adolescents’ healthy development. This study aimed to estimate academic stress and explore its sources at the individual- and school levels among school-going adolescents in the city of Qazvin, Iran. Results This cross-sectional study used a stratified cluster sampling to recruit 1724 students aged 12–19 years from 53 schools in Qazvin City. Data were collected using a validated self-administered questionnaire. The mean academic stress score was 45.7 (95% CI 45.2, 46.3). The stress level was statistically higher among older 47.5 (95% CI 46.7, 48.3) than younger 44.1 (95% CI 43.4, 44.9) adolescents. The main academic stressors included: future uncertainty 69.7 (95% CI 68.8, 70.7), academic competition 58.5 (95% CI 57.3, 59.6), and interaction with teachers 56.1 (95% CI 55.3, 56.9). Gender, educational period, school type, family socioeconomic status, and father’s education were associated with academic stress. Conclusions We conducted a multilevel study using a random sample of male and female students in the city of Qazvin, Iran. Results indicated moderate levels of stress among Iranian adolescents. The academic stress was associated with several individual and school-level variables. Students and their families and teachers need education on stress prevention methods and coping mechanisms. Future research should focus on developing and testing multilevel policies and interventions to improve students’ mental health and academic performance.

Summary Objective: To analyze factors associated with chronic joint symptoms (CJS) in adults. Method: A population-based, cross-sectional study was performed with a sample of 1,217 adults aged between 20 and 59 years, in the city of Viçosa, in 2014. The sampling process was performed by conglomerates and sample was selected using a two-stage cluster-sampling scheme. First, 30 of the 99 census tracts of Viçosa were randomly selected using a random sampling scheme, without replacement. Household questionnaires were applied to obtain CJS data, sociodemographic conditions, behavioral factors and health status. Multivariable analysis was conducted using Poisson regression, adjusted for the sampling design effect, using the svy commands in Stata software. Results: Prevalence of CJS totaled 31.27%, significantly higher in women (18.45). Age ranges 40-49 (PR 1.50; 95CI 1.16-1.92) and 50-59 years (PR 1.55; 95CI 1.07-2.25); overweight (PR 1.60; 95CI 1.28-2.00); obesity (PR 1.60; 95CI 1.11-2.29); and those who self-reported performing heavy work (PR 1.27; 95CI 1.09-1.48) showed higher prevalences of CJS. Conclusion: Women and individuals who were older, overweight and performing heavy work had a higher risk of CJS in this adult population residing in Viçosa, MG, Brazil.
