The aim: Of our study was to identify the relationship between the main risk factors for heart disease and social factors among northern population. Materials and methods: We polled 3092 native and non-native habitants of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The poll consists of several sections. It includes questions related to social, demographic and life record data, heredity, physical activity and unhealthy habits. Results: Among the people diagnosed with hypertension (HT), there are more smokers than among the people without this medical condition. On the contrary, in the group of people diagnosed with HT at the examination for taking blood pressure, there were fewer smokers than in the group, in which HT was not registered. Patients with CHD, Myocardial infarction (MI) in past medical history, cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), are smokers to the same degree as the other group. This indicates that this category of the examined are exposed to the risk of cardiovascular aggravations. We determined a high spread of psychosocial risk factors for the examined respondents – the relationship between smoking, overweight, obesity, abdominal obesity and HT, and the level of education, marital status and labor specificity. The increase in the level of education is associated with fewer amounts of smokers among both non-native and native habitants. Overweight is more frequently observed for the people who are not single, have low level of education and are engaged in manual labor. In particular, it is applicable to native habitants. Conclusions: Abdominal obesity did not have any relationship with psychosocial factors for native habitants. However, in relation to non-native habitants, overweight, obesity, abdominal obesity and HT are associated with marital status (married) and with manual labor.

Abstract Objective: No studies have examined the relationship between recommended food score (RFS), none recommended food score (NRFS) and cardiovascular risk factors. This study was conducted to evaluate the association of RFS and NRFS with cardiovascular risk factors in overweight and obese women.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 379 overweight and obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) women aged 18-48 years. Anthropometric measurements and body composition analysis were assessed in all participants. Dietary intake was assessed by a valid and reliable food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) containing 147 items and RFS and NRFS calculated. Biochemical assessments including TC, HDL, LDL, TG, FBS, insulin, HOMA-IR and hs-CRP were quantified by ELISA.Results: The mean age and BMI of participants were 36.73±9.21 (y) and 31.17±4.22 (kg/m²) respectively. Binary logistic analysis showed that participants in the highest quartile of the RFS compared to the lowest quartile had 82% lower risk for Hypertriglyceridemia [OR=0.18, 95%CI=0.06-0.53, P=0.002] and 91% lower risk for abdominal obesity [OR=0.09, 95%CI=0.008-1.04, P=0.05]. in addition, Participants who were in the highest quartile of the RFS compared to the lowest quartile had lower HOMA-IR [OR=0.29, 95%CI=0.08-1.00, P=0.05]. subjects with high adherence to the NRFS had lower HDL [OR=2.11, 95%CI=1.08-4.12, P=0.02] and higher risk for Hypertriglyceridemia [OR=2.95, 95%CI=1.47-5.94, P=0.002] compared to low adherence. Conclusions: There was an inverse significant association between adherence to RFS and risk of Hypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance, and abdominal obesity. There was a significant association between NRFS and Hypertriglyceridemia, and also we found an inverse relationship between NRFS and HDL.

The Relationship

The relationship between psychosocial factors and the occurrence and aggravation of peptic ulcer was studied in elderly people Thirty nine (14 male) ulcer patients and 79 (30 male) elderly people aged 65 years and over and living in the community were tested. Information on health status, medication, lifestyle, and psychosocial status was obtained by means of interviews using a questionnaire and from the clinical records of the ulcer patients. The same questionnaire was distributed to the residents. Logistic regression analysis adjusting for age disclosed that peptic ulcer was significantly associated with having an occupation and low exercise practice in men. However, the relationship weakened below statistical significance after adjusting for some physical risk factors besides age. Low education was significant but low instrumental support fell short of statistical significance with peptic ulcer in women even after adjustment for several physical risk factors besides age. Thus, the specific psychosocial factors might be independently associated with the occurrence and aggravation of peptic ulcer in at least elderly women.

Open defecation behavior is a problem for developing countries including Indonesia. This can cause a dirty environment and a source of transmission of diseases such as diarrhea and other infectious diseases. So there needs to be research that analyzes the risk factors for these behaviors. This study aims to analyze the relationship of knowledge and education level to defecation behavior in all areas. A total of 110 family heads were examined and selected using the proportional random sampling technique. The statistical analysis used is Chi Square. The results of the analysis found that there was a relationship between the level of education (value 0.041; OR = 2.576; 95% CI = 1.118-5,934) and knowledge (pvalue 0.001 OR = 4,000; 95% CI = 1.794-8,920) towards open defecation behavior. There needs to be an effort from various parties to be able to increase knowledge through periodic education and the use of health promotion media that can be accessed anytime and anywhere.

Background :Although glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness globally, the condition shows no signs or symptoms until later stages. Knowledge about the disease is known to influence utilization of eye screening services. This study aimed at understanding knowledge and awareness of glaucoma and its associated risk factors among residents of urban community of Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with the use of a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge and awareness of glaucoma and associated risk factors. Results: Out of a total of 185 respondents, 52.3 % were females and 0.5 % were aware of glaucoma. Majority (99.5 %) of the respondents were unaware of glaucoma and 24.3% (n=45) of the respondents didn't know that the disease can result in blindness. Only (16.2%) affirming that blindness from glaucoma is irreversible. 9.2 % of the respondents perceived themselves to be at risk of developing glaucoma. The results showed that age, sex, level of education, employment status, occupation, residential status, marital status and monthly income of the respondents (p<0.05) were statistically significant with glaucoma knowledge level. In addition, the result also showed that age, level of education, employment status, occupation, residential status, marital status and monthly income of the respondents (p<0.05) were statistically significant with glaucoma awareness. Conclusion: Glaucoma awareness was not satisfactory and the findings also display inadequate knowledge about glaucoma. So there is a need to effectively inform and educate people about the disease.

The Relationship

A student’s life satisfaction is marked by four themes: the relationship to studies, budget, housing and health state. The objective of our work is to establish a profile of life satisfaction and support of Yemeni students residing in Morocco. The choice is made on a prepared questionnaire, which the characteristics of reliability, loyalty are important. The results show that 13.8% (n = 25) of Yemeni respondents residing in Morocco showed great self-dissatisfaction against 16.5% (n = 32) who responded satisfied with their life. However, 14.8% (n = 29) of the respondents showed great dissatisfaction with the support against 13.8% (n = 27) who responded satisfied with the support of their family and friends. Two factors have been shown to be associated with this behavior, namely marital status and city of residence. Therefore, the Moroccan and Yemeni authorities should face these risk factors by presenting adequate solutions so that these students lead a normal life.

The influence of such exogenic risk factors of MS on the disease dynamics among Subcarpathia inhabitants has been studied: education level, work conditions, marital status and concomitant diseases in the family. It has been found that the biggest percentage of the examined patients was married, and the number of the divorced was significantly lesser. Obviously, the marital status does not influence clinical characteristics of MS. The education level has an influence on the rate according to EDSS scale. The biggest part of the examined patients with MS had secondary vocational education, slightly lesser number had higher and incomplete secondary education, and the least number of patients at the time of examination were students. Thus, the lowest point was observed in the group of students with MS and the highest point among the people with incomplete secondary education. Relapse remitting disease dynamics type predominated among all the examined patients with MS.

Stroke is one of non-communicable diseases and affected by many risk factors. Some stroke risk factors have in common with the metabolic syndrome criteria, such as abdominal obesity, glucose intolerance, decreased HDL cholesterol, elevated triglyceride levels, and insulin resistance. The goals to analyze the relationship between the metabolic syndrome with the incidence of stroke. This research is analytic by using case-control design. The case groups were hospitalized patients of stroke and undergoing inpatient in dr. M. Soewandhie Surabaya. The case groups were 32 peoples and control group 32 peoples were selected at random. The variables studied were age, sex, metabolic syndrome, the first criteria, the second criteria of metabolic syndrome, and the third criteria of metabolic syndrome. The results showed that the majority of stroke patients in the age range 51-75 years (78%). Results of Chi-Square test indicates a significant relationship between the metabolic syndrome criteria first (abdominal obesity, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol levels) p = 0,01 OR = 6,82 (95% CI = 1,23 to 68,17 ) and the second criteria of metabolic syndrome (HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting glucose levels) p= 0,007 OR = 5,80 (95% CI = 1,30 to 35,15) with the incidence of stroke. While for the third criteria of metabolic syndrome (fasting glucose levels, abdominal obesity, triglyceride  levels) there was no significant relationship to the incidence of stroke. It is expected for people, especially over the age of 35 years can do a lipid profile and circle abdominal measurements to detect of   metabolic syndrome and the risk of stroke.Keywords: Metabolic Syndrome, Stroke, Abdominal Obesity, Triglyceride, HDL
