Occupational tobacco exposure and multisystem morbidity among beedi rollers
Purpose Beedi rolling, employing nearly five million predominantly female home-based workers across India, remains one of the less formally organized occupational sectors. This study aimed to evaluate the working conditions and health hazards of beedi rollers across five Indian states. Methods A multi-centric cross-sectional study conducted in five states enrolled 1,800 adults; 900 beedi rollers and 900 controls. Data were obtained through struct…
Risk of secondhand smoke exposure and severity of Covid-19 infection
Introduction: Exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) is an established causal risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic lung disease. Numerous studies have evaluated the role of tobacco in COVID-19 infection, severity, and mortality but missed the opportunity to assess the role of SHS. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine whether SHS is an independent risk factor for COVID-19 infection, severity, mortality, and other co-mor…
Mapping the stability of febrile illness hotspots in Punjab from 2012 to 2019- a spatial clustering and regression analysis
The study demonstrates that information obtained through IDSP can describe the spatial epidemiology of FI at crude spatial scales and drive concerted efforts against FI by identifying actionable points
Exploring the influence of food labels and advertisements on eating habits of children
Low awareness regarding the utility of nutrition labels and minimal concerns of the parents increase the frequency of eating out. Unification of our existing policies regarding food labels and tv advertisements to develop family-centric interventions will bring us one step closer to improving the enabling environment to curb the growing menace of childhood obesity
