Low muscle strength with or without reduced physical performance is used to identify possible sarcopenia, or those at risk of sarcopenia. To date, there is limited evidence available regarding the situation of sarcopenia risk among Thai older adults. Our study evaluated the prevalence of possible sarcopenia and determined the related factors among Thai community-dwelling older adults. Information about socio-demography, chewing difficulty, and food consumption was collected by interview as well as anthropometric measurements. Possible sarcopenia was defined using the recommendation of the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) consensus. Factors that were related to possible sarcopenia were examined using multiple logistic regression, presented as adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). Participants were randomly selected using multi-stage sampling from population registers provided by local village health staff in selected sub-districts of Khon Kaen province. Among 510 older adults, the mean age was 69.1 (SD = 6.7) years, 67.3% were women, and 29.2% of them had chewing difficulty. The overall prevalence of possible sarcopenia was 32.2%. Women with high waist circumference (WC) had a higher rate of possible sarcopenia than men (25.9% and 10.5%, respectively). Factors relating to possible sarcopenia were chewing difficulty (AOR = 2.10; 95% CI: 1.36-3.22; p-value = 0.001), low mid-upper arm circumference or MUAC (AOR = 6.51; 95% CI: 3.40-12.47; p-value < 0.001), and normal waist circumference or WC (AOR = 2.14; 95% CI: 1.35-3.39; p-value = 0.001). Possible sarcopenia was prevalent among Thai community-dwelling older adults. Chewing difficulty, low MUAC, and normal WC were related to possible sarcopenia. Dietary and exercise modifications in this population are therefore a good target for lessening the occurrence of possible sarcopenia.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81450452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One major risk factor for NCDs is smoking. Thus, this study assessed sociodemographic predictors of smoking persistence among young males in Indonesia, who are at high risk for smoking and NCDs. We analysed the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) conducted in 2017, a nationally representative survey in 34 provinces of Indonesia. We included data from 9957 young males aged 15-24 who had tried smoking and were interviewed by the IDHS enumerators for their smoking patterns and sociodemographic characteristics. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the predictors of smoking persistency. Our analyses uncovered that those who started smoking at high-school age, lived in rural areas, had an occupation, and had lower education levels, had higher odds of smoking persistence than other young males. The use of internet, also increased the odds of smoking persistence, while those reading newspapers had lower odds of smoking persistence. Regarding household characteristics, young males who came from poor households, whose household heads were smokers or not married, also had higher odds of smoking. In conclusion, this study also showed the significance of several individual variables and household sociodemographic factors related to smoking persistence. Based on our findings, we recommend the need for intervention that aims not only at large-scale policy to ban smoking and educational campaigns through the internet but also specific educational intervention targeting families, particularly poor families with active smokers. The educational campaign is also needed to target the younger population, who are at higher risk for smoking persistence if they start smoking earlier.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78098905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of water, scarcity causes public health, economic, and ecosystem problems because of the lack of safe water when the demand exceeds its availability. This study identified the influencing components of water scarcity management performance by systematic review methods based on two English full-text databases: Scopus and ScienceDirect from 2012 to 2022. A total of 22 studies were selected from 850 records by using the inclusion criteria and performance evaluation by the scoring rubric method. Moreover, the article quality was assessed using a critical appraisal tool by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist method. The result of this review revealed that the main influencing components of water scarcity management are related to the availability of water quantity and demand. Water availability is associated with the hydrological cycle which has uncertainty due to climate change. While the demand components depend on water use, population, industry and urbanization. Most of the studies in the literature review considered only water balance of water availability and demand. Such an approach is insufficient to achieve water security for sustainable development goals. Additional components including environmental components such as water quality degradation should be considered as these components can reduce the availability of freshwater resources. From an economic point of view, the benefit of water utilization should be prioritized in scarce water management in consideration of fairness in water rights. It is also essential to consider the contribution to socio-economic aspects from stakeholder meetings and participation.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89607589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The observed incidence of diarrheal illness was 1.81 episodes per child/year (95% Confifence Interval (CI):1.75–1.87). Among poor WASH exposures, 63 (29.2%) children had diarrhea and among non-exposures, 59 (27.1%) had diarrhea. A total of 183 children (42.2%) had linear growth retardation (stunted), and 270 (62.2%) were malnourished. Hazards of diarrhea among exposed groups were 1.235 (95% CI: 0.785-1.943) times higher than in non-exposed groups.

The aging phenomenon causes changes in the body’s systems, leading to mental and emotional disorders. Dementia is established as one of the most important challenges associated with the aging process. In this respect, the Montessori-based cognitive rehabilitation program is an increasingly popular choice in dementia care. Therefore, we decided to conduct a review study on the effect of Montessori therapy on different psychological aspects of the elderly with dementia. This narrative review was performed using narrative synthesis. An extensive literature search was performed in databases of ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed, and ISI Web of Knowledge using OR, AND, and NOT operators and the selected keywords. Only studies published in journals between March 2010 and March 2022 were used for this purpose. The articles chosen in this study were those that have studied the effect of a Montessori-based cognitive rehabilitation program on the elderly with dementia. Studies that involved the Montessori program on other neurological disorders were excluded. Finally, 32 articles were selected from the final evaluation. It can be concluded that the Montessori program effectively reduces anxiety, destructive behavior, and agitation, increases pleasure, hope, optimism, job satisfaction, social skills, and cognitive function, and improves the quality of life and feeding capacity.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81861087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sexual dysfunction could affect the sexual quality of life of the individual and, possibly, have an impact on their partners. Treatments that improve sexual function among individuals tend to improve the sexual quality of life of their partners. This study explored the mechanism by which an individual’s sexual quality of life mediates the relationship between factors, such as age, sexual dysfunction, perception of IELT, and the partner’s sexual quality of life. Path analysis was used to determine if this effect was via direct or indirect mechanisms. Outpatients attending the Maamobi and Tema General Hospitals, as well as their partners, were recruited for this study. A total of 130 males and their partners, as well as 116 females and their partners, were recruited. The GRISS was used to evaluate the sexual function of participants. The sexual quality of life questionnaire was used to evaluate participants and their partners. Ageing in both sexes had a direct effect on the sexual quality of life of their partners. Ageing also indirectly compromises the sexual quality of life of male partners. Impotence indirectly affects the sexual quality of life of female partners. Vaginismus indirectly affected the sexual quality of life of their male partners. Among the male participants, avoidance of sexual activity had both direct and indirect effects on the sexual quality of life of their female partners. Avoidance of sexual activity by female participants only had an indirect effect on the sexual quality of life of the male partners. Ageing in both sexes, directly compromises the sexual quality of life of their partners.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79866052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although agrochemical safety education is essential to promoting protective behavior among agricultural workers, there is a gap in the body of evidence concerning experience with agrochemical use and practice, which is critical for developing and improving educational interventions, so they are more effective and acceptable to the workers' culture and lifestyle. This phenomenology study included twenty agricultural workers with high serum cholinesterase levels in two Thai rural communities. Data from semi-structured interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed by using Colaizzi's 7-step data analysis, which is mentioned in the data analysis part. Five themes and three subthemes emerged in relation to agrochemical use and health: (i) long-term chemical exposure; (ii) no need to be concerned about health after chemical exposure; (iii) insufficient chemical protection knowledge and practices; (iv) difficulties in adhering to the agrochemical exposure prevention regimen; and (v) government policy and the growth of the organic products market are important components of chemical use reduction. Based on the findings, the workers lacked awareness regarding protective behaviors, because they did not notice any abnormal changes in their health. We, therefore, recommend that they undergo annual checkups for monitoring their SChE levels, which should be provided by the local government. In addition, agrochemical use is influenced by socioeconomic and political factors. Thus, a health education program for agricultural workers should involve a multidimensional and community-engaged training program that would promote the safe handling of chemicals through contextually appropriate interventions.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86924271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this study aimed to examine awareness and knowledge about environmental health issues among secondary school students from Mtwara town in Tanzania. A questionnaire survey was used to collect data. Pearson's chi-square and Pearson correlation (R) tests were used to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference between the gender and study variables. A greater proportion of students had awareness and knowledge of infectious diseases (99.8% vs. 97.1%, p=0.004, X2=9.529, OR 1.028, 95% CI 1.005 – 1.051) and non-communicable diseases (98.1% vs. 95%, p=0.031, X2 = 5.370, OR 1.033, 95% CI 1.001 – 1.067). However, awareness of the term school water, sanitation and hygiene (SWASH) was very low among all students, with no statistically significant difference (26.1% vs. 25.5%, p = 0.927). Girls had more understanding of global warming (91.7% vs. 86.2%, p=0.033) and good ventilation prevented the spread of cough and mucus (62.1% vs. 54%, p=0.041) than male students. While no statistically significant difference between students' awareness and knowledge of pollution was observed (99.5% vs. 97.9%, p=0.104), there was a higher proportion of noise and land pollution awareness among students. Female students had higher awareness of noise pollution (70.2% vs. 56.9%, p=0.001) and land pollution (86.1% vs. 78.2%, p=0.010) than their peers.
