Lung adenocarcinoma risk in an area with seasonal high PM2.5 exposure
Background Air pollution exposure has been associated with increased lung cancer risk globally. However, evidence linking fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤2.5 micrometers (PM 2.5 ) to adenocarcinoma, the most common histological subtype of lung cancer, using the real-world data remains limited in Southeast Asia populations where air pollution levels are rising. This study aimed to investigate the association between averag…
Development and Validation of a Culturally Adapted Patient‐Reported Experience Measure for Diabetes Care in Thailand
BACKGROUND: Patient-centred care is essential for managing Type 2 diabetes, as it relies on understanding patients' experiences and perspectives. However, in Thailand, no culturally adapted patient-reported experience measure (PREM) exists to capture these insights and support quality improvement in diabetes care. OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a culturally adapted PREM for Thai people with Type 2 diabetes receiving primary care. METHODS: Thi…
Associated factors of smoking behaviors among industrial workers in Myanmar
Introduction Smoking is a preventable behavioral risk factor for both communicable and noncommunicable diseases, with particularly strong impacts on noncommunicable diseases. We aimed to examine the associations between modifying factors, individual beliefs, and smoking behaviors, including quit attempts and smoking intensity, among industrial workers in Myanmar. Methods Our cross-sectional study utilized baseline data collected in 2018 from a lo…
Effectiveness of a Health Belief Model-based integrated health education and mobile phone short message service intervention on health knowledge, perception, and self-efficacy toward smoking
This study's intervention significantly improved the health knowledge, perception, and self-efficacy toward smoking among industrial workers in Myanmar, highlighting the importance of targeted workplace interventions
Associations between maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy and body composition in young adult offspring
Background Maternal obesity is associated with an increased risk of large-for-gestational-age births and childhood obesity. However, evidence on its potential associations with long-term offspring body composition remains limited. This prospective cohort study examined associations between maternal body mass index (BMI) during pregnancy and body composition in the young adult offspring. Methods Participants were the offspring from a birth cohort …
Impact of arterial stiffness on health-related quality of life in older Thai adults with treated HIV infection
Association of cardio-ankle vascular index and future major adverse cardiovascular events in older adults living with HIV
Increased arterial stiffness is an indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death in the general population. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a novel method for measuring arterial stiffness. This study investigated the utility of CAVI as a prognostic indicator of CVD and death in older adults living with HIV(OALHIV). Patients aged ≥50 taking antiretroviral treatment with no history of cardiovascular events enrolled from multiple cen…
Long-Term Health Associated with Small and Large for Gestational Age Births among Young Thai Adults
We examined the long-term health outcomes associated with being born small for gestational age (SGA) or large for gestational age (LGA). A total of 632 young adults aged ≈20.6 years were recruited from a longitudinal study (Chiang Mai, Thailand) in 2010: 473 born appropriate for gestational age (AGA), 142 SGA, and 17 LGA. The clinical assessments included anthropometry, blood pressure (BP), lipid profile, and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)…
Predictors of health-related quality of life among older adults living with HIV in Thailand
The current longitudinal study consisted of baseline and follow-up surveys among older adults living with HIV (OALHIV) in Thailand. The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study HIV (MOS-HIV) questionnaire. We performed multiple linear regression analysis to document correlates of HRQoL at baseline and the predictors of the changes in HRQoL at follow-up. Of the 364 participants recruited at baseline; 327…
Higher maternal BMI early in pregnancy is associated with overweight and obesity in young adult offspring in Thailand
Maternal overweight/obesity early in pregnancy was associated with increased BMI and greater odds of obesity in their young adult offspring in Thailand. These findings highlight the public health importance of fostering healthier lifestyle choices among women of reproductive age
Birth order is associated with an increased risk of obesity in young adults in Thailand
Background There is a growing body of evidence showing that early life events are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases later in adult life. However, there is a paucity of data in this field from Asian populations. In this study, we examined the association of birth order with obesity risk and cardiometabolic outcomes in young adults in Thailand. Methods Participants were the offspring from a birth cohort study i…
A comparison of socio-behavioral risk factors between HIV-infected and non-infected older adults in Northern Thailand
There is a shift in the demographic profile of people living with HIV toward older age groups. The current study compares alcohol use, smoking, and physical exercise between HIV-infected and non-infected older adults recruited in 12 community hospitals in Chiang Mai Province, Northern Thailand. Participants in the two groups were 50 years and above, matched by age and gender. The sample included 364 participants in each of the groups. Older adult…
Sexual Behavior and Attitudes Toward Sex of Older Adults Living with HIV
Early life urban exposure as a risk factor for developing obesity and impaired fasting glucose in later adulthood
Early life urban exposure was associated with increased risk of developing obesity in adulthood. These findings support public health intervention programs to prevent obesity starting from early ages
