Evaluation of the relationship between consumption of carbonated soft drinks/fast food and anxiety-related sleep disturbance in school adolescents in Bangladesh
While studies from high-income countries have shown an association between adolescents’ poor dietary habits and a lack of quality sleep, there is a dearth of similar data from developing nations. This study intends to investigate the relationship between the consumption of carbonated soft drinks and fast food and sleep disturbances linked to anxiety in school-going adolescents in Bangladesh. The data used for this study came from the 2014 Banglad…
Understanding patient and family experiences of critical care in Bangladesh and India
Patients’ experiences in the intensive care unit (ICU) can enhance or impair their subsequent recovery. Improving patient and family experiences on the ICU is an important part of providing high quality care. There is little evidence to guide how to do this in a South Asian critical care context. This study addresses this gap by exploring the experiences of critically ill patients and their families in ICUs in Bangladesh and India. We elicit sugg…
A systematic review and network meta-analysis of population-level interventions to tackle smoking behaviour
Psychological distress among Bangladeshi physicians
While physicians' combat against the Covid-19 pandemic is itself stressful, their stigma experiences and fear of infection due to professional commitments may risk their psychological state. The study investigated the association among perceived stigma, fear of infection, resilience, and psychological distress among physicians during the Covid-19 pandemic in a developing country, Bangladesh. A total of 209 physicians voluntarily participated in a…
Association of sleep duration and sleep quality with overweight/obesity among adolescents of Bangladesh
Study findings denoted short sleep duration to be associated with overweight/obesity and underweight among adolescents of Bangladesh. Adequate sleep may therefore serve as an effective obesity prevention strategy in the growing stages
Global, regional, and national progress in financial risk protection towards universal health coverage, 2000–2030
Nightly fasting duration is not associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among non‐shift workers
OBJECTIVES: While several experimental studies in animals and humans have suggested the protective effect of nightly fasting duration (NFD) against cardiometabolic risk factors, few population-based studies have been conducted. This study aimed to investigate the association between NFD and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Japanese non-shift workers. METHODS: A subset of 1054 non-shift workers from the Furukawa Nutrition and Health Study were incl…
Universal Health Coverage
Health care spending is one of the crucial elements for ensuring universal health coverage in Bangladesh. The main purpose of the policy analysis report is to find out policy option of health care spending for ensuring universal health coverage in Bangladesh by 2030. The underlying objectives of the study are to examine the effectiveness of existing national health policy to ensure universal health coverage for the people of Bangladesh, to evalua…

Optimal waist circumference cut-off points and ability of different metabolic syndrome criteria for predicting diabetes in Japanese men and women
Data from the present large cohort of workers suggest that WC cut-offs of 85 cm for men and 80 cm for women may be appropriate for predicting DM for Japanese. The JIS criteria can detect more people who later develop DM than does the JCCMS criteria
Targeted Interventions of Ultra-Poor Women in Rural Rangpur, Bangladesh
This study aimed to assess whether teaching good cooking practices, food habits and sanitation to ultra-poor rural women in four rural communities of Rangpur district, Bangladesh, with a high density of extremely poor households, would improve the overall health of the community. The sample size was 200 respondents combined from the target and control areas. In the target area, twelve in-depth interviews and four focus group discussions were unde…
Distance Associated With Marriage Migration in a Northern and a Southern Region of Bangladesh
This paper investigates the distribution of distance associated with marriage migration in the northern region of Rajshahi and the southern region of Khulna in Bangladesh. The study was conducted in 2007 on 2250 respondents who had migrated due to marriage. Of the wide variety of curves that fitted the distance–marriage/contact data, three are discussed: Pareto, exponential, and Pareto-exponential. Logistic regression models were used to identify…
