Barriers to healthy eating practices among school-aged children in Armenia
Predictors of permanent emigration in a long-term cohort of Spitak earthquake survivors in Armenia
How Effective Is Iron Supplementation During Pregnancy and Childhood in Reducing Anemia Among 6–59 Months Old Children in India
Objectives: The study sought to identify whether iron and folic acid supplementation of pregnant women and preschool children are associated with child’s anemia status and the predictors of anemia among children in India. Design: Secondary data analysis was performed using the National Family Health Survey 4 data. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the adjusted associations between child’s anemia status and iron supplementatio…
Prevalence and determinants of anaemia among children aged 0–59 months in a rural region of Armenia
Objective Despite the trend of increasing prevalence of childhood anaemia in Armenia, no studies exploring its risk factors have been conducted in the country. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of childhood anaemia in rural Armenia. Design Blood Hb level was measured among a representative sample of children using the HemoCue Hb201+ analyser. The revealed cases with anaemia were compared with randomly selected…
A post-earthquake psychopathological investigation in Armenia
The post-earthquake psychopathological investigation (PEPSI) was designed to probe the short-and long-term effects of the earthquake in northern Armenia on 7 December 1988 on survivors' mental and physical health. Four phases of this study have been conducted to date, and, overall, more than 80 per cent of a sub-sample of 1,773 drawn from an initial cohort of 32,743 was successfully followed during 2012. This paper describes the methodology emplo…
Estimated prevalence and predictors of undernutrition among children aged 5–17 months in Yerevan, Armenia
Objective Child undernutrition is a serious public health problem in many low- and middle-income countries. Data on child undernutrition prevalence and its risk factors in Armenia are limited. The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence and explore the predictors of undernutrition among children aged 5–17 months in Yerevan. Design The study was cross-sectional and employed a review of the ambulatory charts of children selected through a mu…
Short and long term determinants of incident multimorbidity in a cohort of 1988 earthquake survivors in Armenia
Most of the identified determinants of incident multimorbidity in our study population were markers of social inequities, indicating that inequities pose a serious threat to both individual and public health-related outcomes. Strategies targeting to decrease such inequities along with promotion of healthy lifestyle and strengthening of social networks may considerably reduce multimorbidity among population groups with similar socioeconomic and cu…
Gender differences in predictors of self-rated health in Armenia
The prevalence of fair/poor self-rated health was similar among men and women in this study, but the sets of independent predictors of perceived health differed somewhat, possibly, reflecting lifestyle differences between men and women in Armenia. Nevertheless, psychosocial variables were the strongest predictors of fair/poor self-rated health for both genders, indicating the importance of improving the country's psychosocial environment through …
Determinants of self-rated health in women
Material deprivation was the most influential predictor of self-rated health. Thus, social reforms to decrease the gap between the rich and poor are recommended as a powerful tool for reducing health inequalities and improving the health status of the population
