Bayesian joint spatial modeling of child malnutrition and household food insecurity among under-five children in Somaliland
Malnutrition and household food insecurity are major public health concerns among under-five children in Somaliland, often sharing overlapping risk factors. Using data from the 2020 Somaliland Health and Demographic Survey (n = 3961), this study assessed their prevalence, spatial distribution, and shared determinants through descriptive statistics, spatial autocorrelation, and a multivariate Bayesian spatial model. The prevalence of malnutrition …
Malnutrition among lactating women in sub-Saharan Africa: An analytic review of spatial distribution, burden and determinants
Malnutrition, encompassing both underweight and obesity, poses a significant public health challenge for women worldwide, spanning across developed and developing nations. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) bears a notably high burden of underweight, despite recent years have seen a noticeable increase in obesity rates. Lactating women are especially vulnerable to malnutrition. This analytic review aimed to compile current knowledge on the spatial distribu…
Parental Perception of Children’s Online Behaviour: A Study on Ethnic Communities in Australia
The overwhelming growth of the Internet in all spheres of life poses new challenges for young children growing up in the digital age, with potential short- and long-term ramifications. Parents have an essential role in the development of the attitudes and behaviour of their children. However, studies indicate that adults are not adequately mitigating the range of cyber risks that children face and that parent-oriented solutions are simply inadequ…
Trends and long-term variation explaining nutritional determinants of child linear growth: Analysis of Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys 1996–2018
Objective: To examine the height-for-age z-score (HAZ) of 0–35 months’ children along with stunting prevalence to identify trends, changes and available nutrition-sensitive and specific determinants that could help explain the long-term variation in child linear growth using successive Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys (BDHS) data from 1996 to 2018. Design: The BDHS pooled data are used for determining the key outcome variables HAZ, stunt…
Exploring the Prevalence, Duration and Determinants of Participation in Household Chores Among Children Aged 5–17 Years in Bangladesh
Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2020
BACKGROUND: The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year. METHODS: For this analysis, we constructed burden-weighted dose-response relative risk curves across 22 health outcomes to esti…
A comparison of rural Australian First Nations and Non-First Nations survey responses to Covid-19 risks and impacts: Implications for health communications
Health risk communication in pandemic response should include an equitable focus on rural areas, recognising that First Nations Australians are a significant proportion of the rural population with different risk factors and concerns than those of non-First Nations Australians. This principle of First Nations-led design is critical to all health policy and planning. The Australian Government should include rural areas in planning pandemic respons…
Spatial, temporal, and demographic patterns in prevalence of smoking tobacco use and attributable disease burden in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: A systematic analysis from the Global Burd…
BACKGROUND: Ending the global tobacco epidemic is a defining challenge in global health. Timely and comprehensive estimates of the prevalence of smoking tobacco use and attributable disease burden are needed to guide tobacco control efforts nationally and globally. METHODS: We estimated the prevalence of smoking tobacco use and attributable disease burden for 204 countries and territories, by age and sex, from 1990 to 2019 as part of the Global B…
A Non-Linear Biostatistical Graphical Modeling of Preventive Actions and Healthcare Factors in Controlling Covid-19 Pandemic
Enhancing healthcare facilities and early imposing the control measures could be valuable to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic. No association between COVID-19 and other comorbidities warranted further investigation at the pathobiological level
Evaluation of Covid-19 Mitigation Policies in Australia Using Generalised Space-Time Autoregressive Intervention Models
In handling the COVID-19 pandemic, various mitigation policies aiming at slowing the spread and protecting all individuals, especially the vulnerable ones, were implemented. A careful evaluation of the effectiveness of these policies is necessary so that policy-makers can implement informed decisions if another wave of COVID-19 or another pandemic happens in the future. This paper reports an assessment of some policies introduced by the Australia…
Factors associated with coverage of vitamin a supplementation among Bangladeshi children: Mixed modelling approach
The relevant authorities should create proactive awareness programs for highly vulnerable local communities, specifically targeted to educate the children's mothers about the necessity and benefits of childhood nutrition
Rural-urban determinants of vitamin a deficiency among under 5 children in Bangladesh: Evidence from National Survey 2017–18
These findings indicated that the consumption of vitamin A does not cover the target of sustainable development goals. Thus special national and community level efforts are required to ensure the coverage of the national vitamin A program is increased adequately to the most vulnerable groups of children in Bangladesh
Trends and determinants of vaccination among children aged 06–59 months in Bangladesh: Country representative survey from 1993 to 2014
The findings reveal that to enhance and make sustainable the overall country's vaccination coverage, we should pay more attention to the mother's education, socioeconomic condition, children's age, birth order number, having media exposure, place of residence, and religion. The authors think that this finding would be helpful to accelerate the achievement target of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for children's health in Bangladesh
Mapping inequalities in exclusive breastfeeding in low- and middle-income countries, 2000-2018
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…
Effectiveness and safety of electronic cigarettes among sole and dual user vapers in Kuantan and Pekan, Malaysia: A six-month observational study
The rates of quitting CCs and ECs were higher in sole EC users than those in dual users. No serious health effects were reported over 6 months in either group. ECs may serve as a smoking cessation aid in Malaysia, but appropriate regulations are necessary to encourage sole EC use to ensure product quality. Large randomised clinical trials (RCTs) with a longer follow-up are required to better measure the effectiveness and safety of ECs use alone a…
Determinants of Chronic Malnutrition Among Preschool Children in Bangladesh
This study investigated the impact of some socioeconomic, demographic and health and community factors on chronic malnutrition or stunting in Bangladeshi children aged less than 5 years. The analysis revealed that the overall prevalence of stunting was 44%, of which 18% of children were severely stunted, and the demographic characteristics appeared to be the most significant factors for chronic malnutrition. Multinomial logistic regression analys…
