Background: Developmental delay is a public health problem worldwide. Globally every year approximately 200 million under-five children exhibit significant delay; 86% being in developing countries. Thus screening and early detection has been emphasized for effective measures. The objectives of the study were to estimate the prevalence of developmental delay among children below two years of age and to determine association of demographic and socio-economic factors.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted between July-November 2016 among 2 – 23 months aged children at Bhatar block, Burdwan district. Calculated sample size was 277; considering 9.5% prevalence (as elicited by Meenai et al in Bhopal), 95% confidence interval, 5% absolute error, design effect 2 and 5% non-response. By simple random sampling, one village was chosen from each of the fourteen gram panchayats of Bhatar block and then equal numbers of children from each selected village. Data were collected by interviewing the respondents with a pre-designed schedule. Developmental status was assessed using Trivandrum developmental screening chart. Chi-square test and logistic regression were applied, p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Overall prevalence of developmental delay was 7.9%. Chi-square test revealed gender (p=0.04), birth weight (p=0.00), maternal education (p=0.01) and place of delivery (p=0.00) to have significant association; in logistic regression also these factors remained significant. Gestational duration, age at delivery, socio-economic status had no significant association.Conclusions: Developmental delay is substantially high among rural children. Larger study with appropriate diagnostic tool might ascertain the actual burden and determinants to indicate necessary measures.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the characteristics of respondents to the practice of feeding under two years old children in the work area of Puskesmas Binamu Kec. Binamu, Kab. Jeneponto. This research is a cross-sectional study with simple random sampling technique. The sample was mothers who have children under the age of two years, totaling 136 mothers. Data was collected through direct interviews with respondents. Hypothesis testing is done using the Chi Square statistical test, with α 0.05 and coefficient φ (phi). The results of the study are known to the characteristics of maternal education (p = 0.030) and family income (p = 0.002) associated with feeding practices in children under the age of two years. Meanwhile there was no correlation between maternal work (p = 0.514) and the number of family members (p = 0.692) to the practice of providing food for under-two-year-old children. It is recommended to increase counseling about correct feeding practices for children, especially on the amount and frequency of food provided, besides that nutritional information is provided not only to mothers but also to people around mothers.

Abstract Background Obesity at the workplace has been associated with symptoms of lower self-esteem, increased individual and employer healthcare costs, increased absenteeism and presenteeism and reduced productivity. Therefore, this study was designed to study the prevalence and correlates of central obesity among formal sector employees in Dodoma City. Methods Study design was a cross-sectional survey conducted from March to June, 2019. Participants were employees from formal sector employment defined as those paid regular monthly wage and with either a secured permanent or temporary contract. Simple random sampling was used to select four out of fifteen large buildings hosting various establishments. Respondents were obtained conveniently and interviewed face to face. Central obesity was defined as a waist circumference greater than 102 cm for males and greater than 88 cm for females. Chi-square test was conducted to assess the differences among the groups. Simple and multiple logistic regression models were fitted to identify the correlates of central obesity. Results A total of 392 respondents (98% response rate) agreed and participated in the study. The overall prevalence of central obesity was found to be 41.8% (164/392). The prevalence of central obesity was significantly higher among females (67.4% p < 0.001), respondents aged ≥51 years (60%, p = < 0.001), administrators (55.1% p = < 0.05), respondents with salary of > 1,000,000 Tanzanian Shilling (TSh.) per month (54.4%, p = < 0.05), respondents who eat homemade meals at the workplace (64.2%, p = < 0.05) and respondents with hypertension (62.5%, p = < 0.05). Correlates of central obesity were found to be female sex (AOR = 9.53; 95% CI: 5.49, 16.78), increased age, eating homemade meals at the workplace (AOR = 2.32; 95% CI: 1.04, 4.19) and hypertension (AOR = 3.15; 95% CI: 1.41, 6.91). Conclusions The present study revealed high prevalence of central obesity among formal sector employees in Dodoma City.

Stress is a physical, mental and emotional response to a challenging event and is a normal part of everyone's life.  It has been linked to suppression of the immune system and could increase the risk of getting ill or alter the course of existing illness.  Studies show that stress is associated with increased HBA1c, especially in females.  Therefore the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of stress with abnormal glucose value among the women community.  A cross-sectional study was conducted among 168 residents of Mukim Sg. Pelek, Sepang, Selangor.  Participants were selected through a simple random sampling and were asked to answer questionnaires provided.  The Depression, Stress and Anxiety (DASS-21) scale was used to determine the prevalence of stress and random blood sugar (RBS) for measurement of the glucose level.  Data was analyzed using Statistical Package Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 and Chi-square analyses for determining the association between variables.  The study found that 58.3% of the stressed women in the community have abnormal blood glucose level, which indicated that the risk of getting diabetes is slightly high.  This finding has important implication for designing strategic plans for intervention program on awareness towards coping with stress positively.
