A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 690 male participants seeking infertility treatment at community clinics and hosp…

    Open AccessNatalia V Bhattacharjee, Lauren E Schaeffer et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2021Cited by: 1References: 32

    Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF)-giving infants only breast-milk for the first 6 months of life-is a component of optimal breastfeeding practices effective in preventing child morbidity and mortality. EBF practices are known to vary by population and comparable subnational estimates of prevalence and progress across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are required for planning policy and interventions. Here we present a geospatial analysis of E…

  • Gender differences in hypertension-free life expectancy in Bangladesh

    Open AccessIsmail Tareque, Yasuhiko SaitoARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018References: 2

    In Bangladesh, although some research on health expectancy exists, life expectancies with and without hypertension (HTN) have never been computed. We examined gender differences in the prevalence of hypertension and Hypertension-Free Life Expectancy (HFLE) in Bangladesh. We used data from a nationally representative survey of 7,864 people aged 35 and older. We classified an individual as having HTN if s/he had blood pressure levels ≥140 mmHg syst…

We investigated a dataset of 4,959 respondents (≥ 18 years) from the Japanese World Health Survey. Ordered probit models were used to identify factors asso…

  • Healthy life expectancy and the correlates of self-rated health in Bangladesh in 1996 and 2002

    Open AccessIsmail Tareque, Yasuhiko Saito et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    This study documented changes in HLE during 1996-2002. Women outlive men, but they have a lower quality of life and are more likely to live a greater part of their remaining life in poor SRH. Life satisfaction as well as other significant factors associated with SRH should be promoted, with special attention given to women, to improve healthy life expectancy and the quality of life of the Bangladeshi people

  • Application of Health Expectancy Research on Working Male Population in Bangladesh

    Ismail Tareque, Y Saito et al.ARTICLEAsian Population Studies2015References: 4

    Lower quality of life and more work-loss days for the workforce are barriers for economic development in Bangladesh. Using nationally representative data—the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys for the 2004–2007 period, we examined the prevalence of diseases (asthma, diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, jaundice/hepatitis, malaria/fever, tuberculosis, and other) that prevented ever-married male workers from doing their regular act…

  • The intergenerational transmission of intimate partner violence in Bangladesh

    Open AccessTOWFIQUA MAHFUZA ISLAM, Ismail Tareque et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

OBJECTIVE: We examined whether witnessing inter-parental physical violence (IPPV) was associated with IPV to identify whether IPV passes across generations in Bangladesh. METHODS: We used nationally representative data of currently…
