  • Essential Epidemiology

    Open AccessPenelope M Webb, Penelope Webb et al.BOOKEssential Epidemiology2024

    Epidemiology is fundamental to public health, providing the tools required to detect and quantify health problems and identify and evaluate solutions. Essential Epidemiology is a clear, engaging and methodological introduction to the subject. Now in its fifth edition, the text has been thoroughly updated. Its trademark clear and consistent pedagogical structure makes challenging topics accessible, while the local and international examples, inclu…

  • Body mass index and type 2 diabetes in Thai adults

    Open AccessKeren Papier, Catherine D’Este et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    A BMI cut-point of 22 kg/m 2 , one point lower than the current 23 kg/m 2 , would be justified for defining T2DM risk in Thai adults. Lowering obesity prevalence would greatly reduce T2DM incidence

  • Self-reported health and subsequent mortality

    Open AccessJiaying Zhao, Vasoontara Yiengprugsawan et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    In Thailand, SRH is a good predictor of population mortality due to internal causes (e.g. CVD). SRH is holistic, simple to measure and low cost; when repeated it measures dynamic health status. In many developing countries chronic diseases are emerging and morbidity information is limited. SRH could help monitor such transitions in burdens and trends of population health

  • Relationship of obesity to physical activity, domestic activities, and sedentary behaviours

    Open AccessEmily Banks, Lynette Lim et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Domestic activities and sedentary behaviours are important in relation to obesity in Thailand, independent of exercise-related physical activity. In this setting, programs to prevent and treat obesity through increasing general physical activity need to consider overall energy expenditure and address a wide range of low-intensity high-volume activities in order to be effective

  • Body mass index and health-related behaviours in a national cohort of 87 134 Thai open university students

    Open AccessCathy Banwell, L Lim et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2009Cited by: 2References: 16

    BACKGROUND: Thailand is undergoing a health-risk transition with overweight and obesity emerging as an important population health problem. This paper reports on a study of the transition, focusing on "lifestyle" factors such as diet (fried foods, soft drinks, Western-style fast foods) and physical activity (mild, moderate, strenuous exercise, housework/gardening and screen time). METHODS: A baseline survey was administered to 87 134 adult studen…

  • Deaths from cirrhosis in Poland and Hungary

    Zsuzsa Varvasovsky, Chris Bain et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1997Cited by: 3References: 5

    OBJECTIVE: To compare patterns of deaths from cirrhosis in Poland and Hungary in the context of differing alcohol policies in the 1980s. DESIGN: Cohort analysis of deaths from chronic liver disease and cirrhosis between 1959 and 1992 using mortality data from the World Health Organization database. RESULTS: The pattern of alcohol related mortality in these countries is quite different. In both countries, death rates increased in the 1960s and 197…
