Physical activity levels and associated factors among Rohingya older adults living in the refugee camp in Bangladesh
Physical inactivity increases with age, yet evidence on physical activity (PA) among older adults affected by forced displacement remains scarce, particularly in refugee camp settings. We aimed to assess PA levels and identify associated factors among Rohingya older adults aged ≥60 years living in refugee camps in Southern Bangladesh. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between May and August 2024. PA was assessed using the Physical Activity V…

Fancy a pint: Alcohol use and smoking in soap operas
This study examined the frequency and portrayal of alcohol use and smoking in soap operas aired on British nonsatellite television. Fifty-four hours of programing were analyzed, monitoring the type of alcohol act, who was carrying it out, and why, where, and what consequences of the acts were depicted. Results supported previous findings that illustrate the prominent use of alcohol in popular soaps. More than 90% of the episodes viewed included s…

Only 15% of births in Bangladesh in 2007 were delivered at health facilities, but the increase over previous years has been significant, and treatment-seeking from a medically trained provider for obstetric complications has also increased. A programme to create a cadre of skilled birth attendants for home births was launched by the Government of Bangladesh in 2004. The training, for community-based health and family planning fieldworkers, covers…
Development of a visual inspection programme for cervical cancer prevention in Bangladesh
Cervical cancer is the most common reproductive cancer in women in Bangladesh, and most women come for diagnosis and treatment when it is too late. To support early detection of pre-cancerous conditions and prevent cervical cancer, Bangladesh undertook a screening programme using visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA) and cryotherapy through a public sector programme. The programme was launched in 2004-05 in a phased manner, start…
Growth velocity in children in rural Khartoum, Sudan
The results of a mixed cross-sectional and longitudinal anthropometric survey of Sudanese children up to the age of sixteen years are reported. Weight velocity, height velocity, mid arm circumference velocity, and mid arm muscle circumference velocity, and the age at which 50% of females have reached menarche have been calculated. Growth velocities are lower than for English children and the puberty growth spurts occurs about one year later in Su…
