Pandemic lessons for a sustainable future
Background In health profession education, clinical placement is a crucial stage that connects professional practice and theoretical study, providing students with the practical experience and skills they need to join the workforce. COVID-19 forced rapid shifts from in-person clinical placements to virtual internships (VIs). Evidence on what opportunities VIs create and which competencies they genuinely develop across multiple health programs rem…
Level of adherence to physical activity recommendations among adults with type 2 diabetes in Qatar and associated factors
Most adults with type 2 diabetes in Qatar do not meet physical activity recommendations, with lower adherence among older adults, females, those with high screen time, specific treatments, and lower education or income. Diabetes management and education should include targeted interventions to address barriers, while public health efforts should reduce sedentary behavior and improve access to physical activity for disadvantaged groups
A review of technical and quality assessment considerations of audio-visual and web-conferencing focus groups in qualitative health research
The transition from the conventional approach to an online setting in conducting focus groups (FGs) for qualitative research is an increasingly adopted approach in health-related research. The purpose of this narrative review aims to provide an overview of the quality of FGs in health-related research that are conducted using various audio–visual (AV)-enabled and web-conferencing approaches. Online databases searched were Medline/PubMed, ProQuest…
Machine learning techniques for the identification of risk factors associated with food insecurity among adults in Arab countries during the Covid-19 pandemic
The ML algorithms seem to be an effective method in early detection and prediction of food insecurity and can profoundly aid policymaking. The integration of ML approaches in public health strategies could potentially improve the development of targeted and effective interventions to combat food insecurity in these regions and globally
Sex disparities in food consumption patterns, dietary diversity and determinants of self-reported body weight changes before and amid the Covid-19 pandemic in 10 Arab countries
Background The COVID-19 pandemic along with its confinement period boosted lifestyle modifications and impacted women and men differently which exacerbated existing gender inequalities. The main objective of this paper is to assess the gender-based differentials in food consumption patterns, dietary diversity and the determinants favoring weight change before and amid the COVID-19 pandemic among Arab men and women from 10 Arab countries. Methods …
Agreement level of vitamin D intake between food frequency questionnaire and 24-h food recall in young Qatari women
Purpose Prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency among young Qatari women is ∼85%. The purpose of the study was to develop a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and to assess the degree of agreement between food vitamin D intakes derived from FFQ and 24-h food recall (24HFR) in young Qatari women. Design/methodology/approach A vitamin D-centric, 40-item FFQ was developed based on foods consumed in Qatar. In total, 36 Qatari women provided food intake…
The Impact of Covid-19 on Physical (In)Activity Behavior in 10 Arab Countries
Insufficient physical activity is considered a strong risk factor associated with non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on physical (in)activity behavior in 10 Arab countries before and during the lockdown. A cross-sectional study using a validated online survey was launched originally in 38 different countries. The Eastern Mediterranean regional data related to the 10 Arabic countries that participated in t…
Dynamic conceptual framework to investigate adoption of healthy diet through agent-based modelling
Purpose The purpose of this research is to develop a dynamic conceptual framework depicting factors related to the adoption of a healthy diet, which will underpin the development of an agent-based model (ABM) to uncover the dynamic interplay between these factors. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual framework was developed in three steps using available empirical data from a semi-structured in-depth interview qualitative study, comprehensi…
Sleeping Duration, Napping and Snoring in Association with Diabetes Control among Patients with Diabetes in Qatar
our results suggest that napping may be an independent risk factor for a poor glycemic control in diabetes; further investigations are required
Clustering of Lifestyle Risk Factors among Algerian Adolescents
Several socio-demographic factors have been identified to play a role in LBRs clustering among Algerian adolescents. Results of the study suggest the development of intervention aiming to tackle different LBRs rather than focusing on a single LBR
Dietary patterns and glycaemic control among Qatari adults with type 2 diabetes
Objective: To assess the association between dietary patterns and glycaemic control among Qatari adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Design: Cross-sectional analysis using data from the Qatar Biobank Study. Poor glycaemic control was defined as HbA1c ≥7·0 %. Dietary patterns were constructed using factor analysis based on habitual food intake assessed by a FFQ. Medication use was based on self-report. Multivariable logistic regression was used to…
Adequacy of Nutrients Intake among Jordanian Pregnant Women in Comparison to Dietary Reference Intakes
While the intake of some nutrients from food alone remains below the DRIs in the diets of pregnant women, the intake of other nutrients is above the UL. Raising the awareness of pregnant women about their diet and how a supplement intake can reduce the risk of inadequate intake for many micronutrients and improve their pregnancy outcomes is of great importance
The Relationship between Lifestyle Factors and Obesity Indices among Adolescents in Qatar
Background: Physical inactivity, sedentary behaviour and an unhealthy diet are factors that may increase weight and general and/or abdominal obesity. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between general and abdominal obesity and lifestyle factors among adolescents in Qatar. Methods: The study data are based on the Arab Teens Lifestyle Study (ATLS). The target population consisted of 1184 adolescents aged between 14 and 18 years old (563 boys a…
Assessment of body weight, maternal dietary knowledge and lifestyle practices among children and adolescents in north Jordan
Objective To estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in north Jordan and to evaluate the dietary knowledge of their mothers. Design Cross-sectional study. Settings Schools, Irbid, Jordan. Subjects Male and female participants ( n 516) aged 6–18 years. Results Thirty per cent of our sample population was overweight or obese, and about 11 % was underweight. Males tend to have a higher BMI and waist circumfer…
