Traditional and psychosocial factors associated with non-communicable diseases among people living with HIV in Cambodia
We examined traditional and psychosocial factors associated with self-reported diabetes, hypertension, raised cholesterol, and multimorbidity among 4,089 people living with HIV in Cambodia. Participants were recruited from 20 antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinics across nine provinces and the capital city in 2021. Multiple logistic regression analyses assessed the associations between sociodemographic variables, HIV-related information, and psycho…
Transiting Out of Full-Time National Service
Higher prevalence of obesity in men compared with women, particularly among those 18 to 40 years of age, has been observed in Singapore. We explored young men’s perceptions of weight change after transiting out of National Service (NS) over a 12-month period and sought to understand the underlying drivers. In-depth interviews, guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM), were conducted with young men 12 months after they had completed full-time NS. S…
The Associations between Upper and Lower Body Muscle Strength and Diabetes among Midlife Women
We hypothesized that a combined index of upper and lower body muscle strength would be more strongly associated with diabetes than either measure alone. Women recruited into the Integrated Women's Health Program had their handgrip strength (HGS) measured using a dynamometer and underwent a timed 5-repetition chair stand (RCS) test. HGS < 18 kg and RCS performance ≥ 12 s assessed upper and lower body strength, respectively, both individually and c…
