Happiness and hypertension prevalence
The prevalence of hypertension around the world is high while hypertension control is relatively low. The objective of this study is to investigate the association between happiness and hypertension prevalence across countries. We used World Happiness Report (WHR) data, NCD (non-communicable disease) Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC) data, and machine learning methods (K-means clustering, XGBoost) to assess the influence of key variables that …
Socio-economic inequalities in hypertension prevalence and care cascade in Bangladesh
Hypertension is a leading contributor to non-communicable disease morbidity in Bangladesh. Despite increasing national attention to hypertension control, there remains limited population-level evidence quantifying how inequalities are distributed across the full cascade of diagnosis, treatment, and control using nationally representative data. We aimed to assess socioeconomic inequalities in hypertension prevalence, diagnosis, treatment, and bloo…
Face, head, and neck (FHN) problems and surgical need assessment among refugees living in Tanzania
Otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS) conditions comprise a considerable and underprioritized portion of the global burden of surgical disease. While OHNS conditions have been found to disproportionately impact low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), no studies to date have sought to characterize the burden of OHNS disease within chronic refugee settings in LMICs. The cluster-randomized, cross-sectional Surgeons Overseas Assessment of Sur…
Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its association with cardiovascular disease risk and common risk factors amongst healthcare workers in Pakistan
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at a higher risk of CVD. However, little is known about the association between MetS and CVD risk in healthcare workers in Pakistan. We aimed to assess the prevalence of MetS and its components and examined the association between MetS and 10-year CVD-risk using Framingham Risk Score (FRS) and common CVD risk factors amongst H…
Wealth-based inequalities in early childhood development (ECD) outcomes in Bangladesh
Early Childhood Development (ECD) inequality among different socioeconomic groups is a rising concern in developing countries. This paper aimed to identify and decompose the ECD inequality among poor and non-poor groups in Bangladesh. For measuring inequality in ECD, concentration curves and their corresponding indices were used in this study utilizing the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2019 data. Furthermore, a standard decomposition approach…

Trends in prevalence and correlates of tobacco use among school-going adolescents in Bhutan
Tobacco use remains a major public health challenge globally. In Bhutan, despite the implementation of strict tobacco control measures, the tobacco uses among the students continue to be alarmingly high compared to neighboring countries. This study aims to analyze the trends and correlates of tobacco use among students in Bhutan, utilizing the nationally representative Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) data from multiple survey years. Secondary …
Tobacco use among adults with disabilities in nine countries–Demographic and Health Survey, 2016–2021
Few studies have investigated tobacco use among people with disabilities living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to examine current tobacco use among men and women with disabilities using Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from 9 LMICs. We considered a respondent currently use tobacco products if they reported current use of any combustible/smoked tobacco products or smokeless tobacco products. We performed secondary an…
Adolescent pregnancy persists in Nigeria
About 700,000 pregnant youths die each year in developing countries. To determine whether the persistent adolescent pregnancy in Nigeria between 2013 and 2018 was influenced by proximal factors, particularly household head age, we carried out a cross-sectional study on adolescent girls that participated in the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). Age of first birth, residence type, age, and gender of household heads was collected us…
Cardiovascular disease risk stratification in the Pakistani population with and without metabolic syndrome
Existing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk stratification algorithms are predominantly validated only for Western populations, and do not include parameters of metabolic syndrome (MetS) which may increase the relative risk for cardiovascular disease in South Asians. This study aimed to compare the differences between 10-year ASCVD risk by the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), Pooled Cohort Risk Equations (PCE), and QRISK3 calculators…
Non-communicable diseases risk factors among the forcefully displaced Rohingya population in Bangladesh
Rohingya refugees of Ukhiya, Cox’s bazar are an unaccounted group of people who form the largest cluster of refugees worldwide. Non-communicable disease (NCD) alone causes 70% of worldwide deaths every year therefore, the trend of NCD among Rohingya refugees demands proper evaluation and attention. The objective of this study was to measure the NCD risk factors among a convenient sample of Rohingya refugees. This cross-sectional study was conduct…
Health selection on self-rated health and the healthy migrant effect
Studies of migration and health focus on a “healthy migrant effect” whereby migrants are healthier than individuals not migrating. Health selection remains the popular explanation of this phenomenon. However, studies are mixed on whether selection occurs and typically examine migrants post-departure. This study used a novel pre-migration dataset to identify which health and social domains differ between migrants and their non-migrant counterparts…
The role of sociodemographic and psychosocial variables in early childhood development
The association between sociodemographic factors—poverty, lack of maternal schooling, being male at birth—, childhood developmental delay, and poor educational outcomes has been established in the Dominican Republic (DR). However, family moderating factors present or introduced to buffer sociodemographic factors effects on early childhood development (ECD) are still unknown. We conducted a secondary analysis of the DR’s 2014 and 2019 Multiple Ind…
Effect of eWOM stimuli and eWOM response on perceived service quality and online recommendation
In congruence with the remarkable trend of consumer’s adoption of online hotel booking services, this study applies the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework to analyse the direct triadic effect of electronic Word-of-Mouth (eWOM) stimuli including valence, volume, and image review on customer’s perceived service quality. Consequent effects of perceived service quality on the online recommendation intention of the customer are measured alon…
Impact of cashback usage restriction exemption on travel booking
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of cashback usage restriction exemption (CURE) on travelers’ intention to prefer a brand’s mobile application (m-app). Using a mixed-method approach, we have established that the CURE enhances the intention to use a brand’s m-app. It was observed that the subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, anticipated positive emotions, and frequency of past behaviour affected the travelers’ desire …
Antecedents of Adoption of Virtual Reality in Experiencing Destination
This study has examined the antecedents of adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) among the Indian tourists using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Perceived enjoyment and perceived immersion have been added to the TAM model as two additional antecedents, and their interrelationships and impacts on tourist's intention to adopt VR were examined. Structural equation modelling was used to analyze the responses obtained from 259 respondents. This stud…
