High prevalence of overweight/obesity and central obesity among women in a rural district of Nepal in 2012–2013
Background The prevalence of overweight is rapidly escalating, especially in South-Asia. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of overweight/obesity and central obesity, and associated risk factors among women in a rural setting of Nepal. Methods A cross-sectional study addressing reproductive health and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) was conducted 2012–2013 in a rural district of Nepal. Married, non-pregnant women ≥15 years of age were included.…
The association between serum vitamin D status and dental caries or molar incisor hypomineralisation in 7–9-year-old Norwegian children
Vitamin D status was not significantly associated with the prevalence and number of teeth affected by caries and MIH among the participating children. Large prospective studies with multiple serum vitamin D measurements and oral examinations throughout childhood are warranted to elucidate the relationship
Cerebrospinal fluid cytokines in geriatric patients with depressive disorders
Central nervous system inflammation might play a role in patients with depressive disorders. This hypothesis is supported by studies reporting increased cerebrospinal fluid levels of the inflammatory markers interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in patients with ongoing depression. In this case-control study, we aimed to examine whether these findings also applied to depressed patients in a geriatric population . Cerebr…
Diabetes Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors among Women in a Rural District of Nepal Using HbA1c as a Diagnostic Tool
Given the scarcity of data on diabetes prevalence and associated risk factors among women in rural Nepal, we aimed to examine this, using glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as a diagnostic tool. A cross-sectional survey addressing reproductive health and non-communicable diseases was conducted in 2012-2013 among non-pregnant, married women in Bolde, a rural district of Nepal. HbA1c ≥ 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) was used as diagnostic criterion for diabetes, a cu…
Cytokines in Relation to Motor Activity in an Acute Psychiatric Population
Background: Deviations in motor activity are important clinical features of several psychiatric disorders in an acute state. Immune activity is associated with several psychiatric disorders and may affect motor activity. We aimed to examine the association between immune activity measured as serum levels of cytokines and deviations in motor activity, in an acute psychiatric setting. Methods: Data on motor activity and immune markers were availabl…
