Gender differences in social environmental factors of psychological distress among Indonesian adolescents
Background: This study aimed to investigate gender differences in social environmental factors of psychological distress among Indonesian adolescents. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using the data from the 2015 Indonesia Global School-based Student Health Survey. Binary logistic regression was used to assess the influences of main independent variables – social environmental factors (i.e., peer support, having close friends, bullying v…
Green space and loneliness
Post-Harvest Handling and Losses of Green Chilies
This study assessed post-harvest activities and post-harvest losses of green chili farming in Kabjisa, Punakha, Bhutan. Data came from interviewing 75 chili-growers selected via proportionate random sampling. Most farmers were found selling fresh chili (green chili). Few farmers produced blanched, dried, and powdered chilies for self-consumption. Most grown chili varieties were Wookup ema, Indian chili, and Yangtsep ema. Farmers mostly harvested …
Determinants of Infant Mortality in Bhutan
This study examined the bio-demographic, socioeconomic, environmental, and health-related determinants of infant mortality in the Kingdom of Bhutan. The nationally representative dataset of the 2012 National Health Survey (NHS), Ministry of Health of Bhutan, was used. Cox proportional hazards regression from survival analysis, accounting for the complex study design of the NHS, was performed using a stepwise approach to identify the determinants …
Prevalence and risk factors of overweight among adolescents
The burden of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents has increased, especially in developing countries, posing a significant health challenge. Data on factors influencing overweight among adolescents is scarce in Bhutan. The present study examined the factors associated with overweight among school-going adolescents in Bhutan. This study analysed the nationally representative data from the Bhutan Global School-based Student Health Sur…
Role of perceived neighbourhood crime in the longitudinal association between perceived built environment and type 2 diabetes mellitus
Background We examined to what extent perceived neighbourhood crime moderates, associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and perceived local amenities, recreational facilities, footpaths and public transit, and potential mediation of environmental characteristics—T2DM association by physical activity, social contact, sleep and body mass index (BMI). Methods The 45 and Up Study data of 36, 224 individuals collected from 2010 to 2015 wer…
Correlates of sedentary behaviour among Bhutanese adolescents
Residential self-selection, perceived built environment and type 2 diabetes incidence
Factors associated with under-five mortality in Bhutan
These findings suggest that younger mother's age, the higher number of births and being born in the central and eastern regions are associated with a higher UFM risk, whereas a larger household size and access to electricity and safe sanitation are key factors associated with lower UFM risk in Bhutan. Women empowerment, health education and strategies promoting maternal and child health in rural areas need to be scaled-up. Additionally, socioecon…
