Because now a day's, globally cardiovascular disease accounts for approximately 17 million deaths a year, nearly one-third of the total death. Of these, complications of hypertension account for 9.4 million deaths worldwide every year. Hypertension is responsible for at least 45% of deaths due to heart disease, and 51% of deaths due to stroke. The study aimed to assess the magnitude and associated factors of hypertension among the age group of 18 years and above in Southwest, Ethiopia, 2020. Method: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 356 adults were recruited for the study. A pre-tested and structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Both bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were carried out to assess the association of independent variables with hypertension and P-value <0.05 was considered as significant. Result: A total of 351 participants were included in the analysis. About 17.7% of the respondents had elevated their Blood pressure. Sex (AOR = 6.7, 95% CI 2.10-21.53), age (AOR= 2.6, 95% CI.1.07-7.40), and body mass index (BMI), (AOR=2.8, 95% CI. 1.14-6.93 and AOR=8.5, 95%CI.1.68-42.45), and vigorous physical exercise (AOR=3.9, 95% CI. 1.40-11.13) were significantly associated with hypertension. Conclusions and recommendation: The study showed that the overall prevalence of hypertension was higher in the study area which was comparatively higher in men than females. The study also showed that BMI, sex, age, and engaging in vigorous physical exercise were found to be significant factors that influence hypertension in the study area. Community-based screening programs should be established for hypertension in this community.","PeriodicalId":90151,"journal":{"name":"Diversity and equality in health and care","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69692624","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}

Methods: Data was collected from the medical records of 680 consecutive living kidney donors between January 2010 and June 2015. Results: Significant predictors of having health insurance included higher levels of education (p=0.007) and being married (p=0.031). Post-surgical visits were lower for those without insurance at six months (43% versus 77%; p=0.029) and one year (35% versus 77%, p<0.001) than those with insurance. A robust trend was observed whereas lack of health insurance was predictive of higher systolic blood pressure (p=0.05). Significant predictors of higher systolic blood pressure included being older (p<0.001), male (p<0.001); and non-Caucasian (p=0.012). Significant predictors of higher diastolic blood pressure were being male (p<0.001) and non- Caucasian (p=0.020); and prior drug use (p=0.003). Conclusion: Development of interventions to improve postsurgical follow up for kidney donors without insurance is warranted to potentially reduce poor health outcomes such as hypertension post kidney donation.","PeriodicalId":90151,"journal":{"name":"Diversity and equality in health and care","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90560329","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}

Interventional therapies aimed at the avoidance of damaging insulin resistance and type II diabetes conditions extend the physical exercise benefits by their influences upon skeletal muscle tissue, with in addition exercise training inducing profound effects on adipose tissue. Regular exercise precludes nocturnal disturbance with associations to reductions in the prevalence of sleep disorders, i.e. most particularly obstructive sleep apnea and thereby improving sleep efficiency and integrity among, and across, most age-groups. In obstructive sleep apnea patients, dysregulated cardiovascular health, that may or may not counteract the elevated oxidative stress, proinflammatory development and sympathetic activation may alleviated through selective regimes of physical exercise. The presence of major gender difference in the quality and sufficiency of healthy sleep reinforces the requirement for selective life-styles to combat the encroachment of sleep inadequacy as a health hazard. Proper assessment of somatic and psychological health variables requires major planning and preparation.","PeriodicalId":90151,"journal":{"name":"Diversity and equality in health and care","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82420851","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}

Moreover, much of what is written about nonreligious patients is written from a religious perspective. To address this deficit, the author conducted descriptive research by surveying online social media group participants using a quantitative questionnaire and qualitative feedback (N=263). Participants responded from closed social media groups for nonreligious people. Survey questions and responses offer insight into a nonreligious end-of-life dyad on the interrelated perceptions and experiences of nonreligious people regarding end-of-life healthcare. Participants responded to questions that assessed individual worldview description, openness to hospice services, feelings regarding chaplain services, expectations regarding fear of death, feelings on religious phrases, experiences of marginalization associated with their nonreligious affiliation, and perspectives regarding healthcare providers’ competency providing care for nonreligious people. Though not comprehensive, the survey results indicate common experiences and perspectives, which can in- form end-of-life practitioners providing care to this population. Through qualitative feedback, survey participants shared their experiences in healthcare settings and expressed a desire for healthcare professionals to be more aware of the needs of nonreligious people. Both the quantitative responses and qualitative feedback of participants is used to inform practice implications and recommendations made for caring for the whole nonreligious person.","PeriodicalId":90151,"journal":{"name":"Diversity and equality in health and care","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89948565","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}

Objective: To analyze the prevalence and associated factors related to tobacco consumption among secondary, high school and university students of Caceres (Spain). Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of secondary, high school and university students from the city of Caceres, over 14 years old. Sociodemographic and consumption data and factors related to tobacco were collected. For the bivariate analysis Chi square was used for the qualitative variable. Results: 209 students have participated. The prevalence of tobacco consumption was usually 27.8%, 27.8% occasional and 44.5% were not consumers. The female gender with 30.6% and 20-24 years, those that contain the highest proportion of smokers. The factors related to starting smoking were other reasons (44%), tendency (16.4%) and relaxation (18.1%), which shows statistically significant differences (p<0.005). Almost all smokers, whether habitual or casual, have thought about stopping smoking (47.4%) or maybe they could try it (37.1%). Conclusion: The rate of tobacco users is high among students. This suggests the need to implement health education programs to prevent and reduce the rate of tobacco use since adolescence, to prevent them from adopting or maintaining this habit in adulthood, since a high percentage of smokers have thought in quitting smoking.","PeriodicalId":90151,"journal":{"name":"Diversity and equality in health and care","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84310270","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}
