Background: In Bangladesh, smoking is one of the leading preventable causes of death. Despite possessing knowledge about the consequences of smoking and the resultant non-communicable diseases, individuals have become considerably habituated to it. The study aims to identify the factors associated with smoking cigarettes and as well as to examine the existing situation of this issue among adult males in Bangladesh.Methods: Total 480 adult males were surveyed from Bangladesh through personal interview and online questionnaire, (from June 2018 to June 2019). To measure the effect of the explanatory variables on cigarettes smoking, authors perform χ2 test of independence as bivariate analysis. After performing bivariate analysis, a logistic regression analysis has been performed to assess the effect of the explanatory variables.Results: Findings of the study revealed that educational level, household economic status, media exposure, division have significant contribution for smoking cigarettes among the adult male in Bangladesh. A comparison of religious affiliation showed smoking cigarettes to be higher among non-muslim counterparts. Respondents living in rural area are found to have smoking cigarettes comparing with urban area.Conclusions: From the study it can be concluded that education and socio-economic status of male make a significant contribution in cigarettes smoking.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the affective and cognitive risk perceptions in the general population of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) during the 2015 MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreak in South Korea and the influencing factors.DesignSerial cross-sectional design with four consecutive surveys.SettingNationwide general population in South Korea.ParticipantsOverall 4010 respondents (aged 19 years and over) from the general population during the MERS-CoV epidemic were included.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe main outcome measures were (1) affective risk perception, (2) cognitive risk perception, and (3) trust in the government. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify factors (demographic, socioeconomic, area and political orientation) associated with risk perceptions.ResultsBoth affective and cognitive risk perceptions decreased as the MERS-CoV epidemic progressed. Proportions of affective risk perception were higher in all surveys and slowly decreased compared with cognitive risk perception over time. Females (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.72–2.00; 95% CI 1.14 to 2.86) and lower self-reported household economic status respondents were more likely to perceive the affective risk. The older the adults, the higher the affective risk perception, but the lower the cognitive risk perception compared with younger adults. The respondents who had low trust in the government had higher affective (aOR 2.19–3.11; 95 CI 1.44 to 4.67) and cognitive (aOR 3.55–5.41; 95 CI 1.44 to 9.01) risk perceptions.ConclusionsThis study suggests that even if cognitive risk perception is dissolved, affective risk perception can continue during MERS-CoV epidemic. Risk perception associating factors (ie, gender, age and self-reported household economic status) appear to be noticeably different between affective and cognitive dimensions. It also indicates that trust in the government influences affective risk perception and cognitive risk perception. There is a need for further efforts to understand the mechanism regarding the general public’s risk perception for effective risk communication.

AbstractObjectiveFood insecurity and undernutrition remain particularly severe in developing countries where improvements in economic conditions have tended to benefit the advantaged groups and resulted in widespread inequalities in health. This study examined how economic inequality is associated with chronic childhood undernutrition.DesignA child was defined as chronically undernourished (stunted) if his or her height-for-age index was more than two standard deviations below the reference median. Household economic status was measured by an index based on household ownership of durable assets. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to estimate the effects of household economic status on stunting.SettingA nationally representative sample of 6251 household interviews in Ghana.SubjectsA total of 3077 children aged 0–59 months included in the 2003 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey.ResultsChildren in the poorest 20% of households are more than twice as likely to suffer from stunting as children in the richest 20% of households independent of the child's age, sex, birth order, breast-feeding duration, birth weight; mother's age at childbirth, body mass index, education; and household access to safe drinking water, hygienic toilet facilities, residence and geographic region (odds ratio = 2.3; 95% confidence interval 1.4–3.7). Also children in the next poorest and in the middle quintiles are significant more likely to be chronically undernourished than children in the richest 20% of households.ConclusionThis study concludes that economic inequality is strongly associated with chronic childhood undernutrition; and reducing economic inequalities and making services more accessible to the poor will be key to improving the health and nutritional status of children in Ghana.

Summary.This study investigated the impact of some socioeconomic, demographic and health and community factors on chronic malnutrition or stunting in Bangladeshi children aged less than 5 years. The analysis revealed that the overall prevalence of stunting was 44%, of which 18% of children were severely stunted, and the demographic characteristics appeared to be the most significant factors for chronic malnutrition. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that parents’ education, household economic status, media exposure, number of under-5 children, place of delivery, child’s age, birth order, months of breast-feeding, birth size, mother’s BMI, mother’s height, age of household head, measles vaccine, supplementation of diet with liquids and regional differentials were significantly associated with severe as well as moderate stunting.

Timely introduced complementary foods, which are appropriate for age, safe and nutrient dense are vital for child growth and development. The aim of the study was to identify associated factors that hampered timely introduction of complementary feeding practices among children 6-23 months. A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out. The data were collected from March 02-20, 2015 in seven-selected Kebeles of Wolaita Sodo town. Systematic sampling technique was employed to select 623 mothers/caregivers with children. The analysis was done using SPSS version 21. Principal component analysis was used to measure household economic status. Binary logistic regression was used to identify predictors of timely initiation of complementary feeding practice. The proportion of timely (at six months) introduction of complementary feeding was 71.2% [95% CI: 66.4%-75.3%], and 25.5% [95% CI: 21.7%- 30%] of children were experienced delayed introduction of complementary feeding. Variables like maternal education [AOR=0.33; 95% CI (0.14-0.78)], household economic status [AOR=0.40;95% CI(0.17-0.85)], history of child medical illness [AOR= 0.63; 95% CI (0.40-0.98)], early initiation of breastfeeding [AOR=2.59; 95% CI (1.02-7.35)] and having source of information about child feeding practices [AOR=0.41; 95% CI (0.24- 0.73)] were identified as independent predictors of introduction of complementary foods at the age of six months. The study came up with nearly three-fourth of children were initiated complementary food just at six months of age. It is not much higher than the target of the current national health sector development program. Maternal illiteracy, low socioeconomic status, presence of medical illness and lack of source of information about complementary feeding practices were associated with timely initiation of complementary feeding. Unreserved support and encouragement should be made to raise level of timely introduction of complementary foods and to diminish delayed introduction of complementary food.

The Relationship

This study addresses spatial effects by applying spatial analysis in studying whether household economic status (HES) is related to health across governorates in Iraq. The aim is to assess variation in health and whether this variation is accounted for by variation in HES. A spatial univariate and bivariate autocorrelation measures were applied to cross-sectional data from census conducted in 2004. The hypothesis of spatial clustering for HES was confirmed by a positive global Moran’s I of 0.28 with P=  0.010, while for health was not confirmed by a negative global Moran’s I of −0.03. Based on local Moran’s Ii, two and seven significant clusters in health and in HES were found respectively. Bivariate spatial correlation between health and HES wasn’t found significant (Ixy=-0.08) with P=0.80. In conclusion, geographical variation was found in each of health and HES. Based on visual inspection, the patterns formed by governorates with lowest health and those with lowest HES were partly identical. However, this study cannot support the hypothesis that variation in HES may spatially explain variation in health. Further research is needed to understand mechanisms underlying the influence of neighbourhood context.

Salah satu bentuk medikalisasi kelahiran adalah angka persalinan sectio caesarea yang tinggi. Hasil beberapa studi menunjukkan bahwa dokter ahli kebidanan dan kandungan merupakan faktor penting yang menentukan persalinan yang dijalani responden. Penelitian ini bertujuan menilai perandokter ahli kebidanan dan kandungan dalam mengambil keputusan untuk melakukan sectio caesarea dibandingkan persalinan normal dengan mengontrol variabel sosiodemografi dan faktor risiko ibu. Penelitian dilakukandengan metode cross sectional menggunakan data Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) DKI Jakarta. Populasi penelitian adalah wanita pernah kawin usia 15 – 44 tahun yang memiliki riwayat melahirkan 5 tahun terakhir sebelum survei dilakukan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkanpemilihan petugas pelayanan antenatal berhubungan dengan persalinan sectio caesarea, tetapi hubungan ini tidak berdiri sendiri, terkait dengan pengaruh status ekonomi rumah tangga. Dari penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara responden yang memilihdokter ahli kebidanan dan kandungan sebagai petugas pelayanan antenatal dengan persalinan sectio caesarea yang juga dipengaruhi oleh status sosial ekonomi rumah tangga responden. Selain status sosial ekonomi, variabel yang berhubungan dengan persalinan sectio caesarea adalah usiaibu, paritas ibu, pendidikan ibu, riwayat komplikasi kehamilan, dan riwayat perdarahan.Kata kunci: Sectio caesarea, dokter ahli kebidanan dan kandungan, sosiodemografi, faktor risiko ibuAbstractOne of the birth medicalization form is the high number of sectio caesarea deliveries. Result of some studies shows that obstetrician is a factor which can determine the preference type of delivery. The purpose of this study is to assess the role of the obstectrician in order to make decision making inpreference sectio caesarea delivery than vaginal delivery after controlled with sociodemographic factors and maternal risk factor. The study was a cross sectional study using a quantitative approach. This study using secondary data which obtained from Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey 2007 with subset of the research is DKI Jakarta region. Population of this study was married women with age between 15 – 44 years old who has delivery history in term of 5 years before the survey. The study shows significant correlation between prenatal care workers with sectio caesarea delivery but this correlation also has an interaction with household economic status variables. There is significant correlation between respondent whose prenatal care with obstectrician with sectio caesarea delivery. This correlation also related with household economic status. Others variables related to sectio caesarea delivery beside social economic status are maternalage, parity, maternal education, complication during pregnancy history, and bleeding history.Keywords: Sectio caesarea, obstetrician, sociodemographic, maternal risk factor
