Differences in prevalence arising from reference values for physiological and laboratory measurements used in studies of Tibetan highlanders and differences in study populations between the two studie…
We conducted an epidemiological study of Tibetan highlanders in Tsarang Village, Mustang District, Nepal, and reported the findings in Arima et al. (Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 43:25, 2024). Subsequently, Sienna R. Craig and colleagues, who have conducted long-term research in the same region, published a commentary on our study, providing an opportunity for further scholarly discussion. In their commentary, Craig et al. highlighted di…
Non-communicable disease care in peri-urban Nepal
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a growing public health challenge in Nepal, driven by hypertension, diabetes, and smoking, and contributing substantially to morbidity and mortality. Access to equitable and affordable care remains limited, particularly in community settings. Task-sharing with Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), a national cadre of volunteer community health workers primarily engaged in maternal and child health, offer…
Occupational health risks and working conditions of sanitation workers in Nepal
Pickers reported the highest risk of skin cuts and dental problems. Collectors reported higher risk of skin cuts and musculoskeletal problems. Pickers also reported the lowest rates of access to PPE, sanitary materials, and water, while collectors reported greater access to relevant vaccinations. These findings indicate unequal access to preventative measures across all types of SW
Musculoskeletal disorders and other occupational health outcomes among sanitation workers in Nepal
Sanitation workers in Nepal face significant work-related occupational health risks, particularly musculoskeletal disorders, influenced by socio-demographic and job-specific factors. It is essential to implement targeted training programs for occupational safety, enforce workplace safety regulations, and conduct routine health screenings of sanitation workers by the municipality
Female community health volunteers’ experience in navigating social context while providing basic diabetes services in western Nepal
The global burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has led to an increased mobilization of community health workers (CHWs) in the prevention and management of NCDs, particularly in resource-poor settings. However, little is known about the experiences of CHWs as they navigate the complex social context while proving home-based NCD management. This study aims to explore the experiences of female community health volunteers (FCHVs) in a communit…
High prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis and its risk factors among Tibetan highlanders living in Tsarang, Mustang district of Nepal
Background In Tsarang (at 3560 m), which is located in Mustang, 62.7% of the residents answered that they had a subjective medical history of arthritis, and 41.1% of the residents answered that their families had a subjective medical history of arthritis on a survey conducted in 2017. The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) and its effects are deeply involved in hypoxic adaptation in Tibetan highlanders. At the same time, HIF is also rel…
