Archival data from 252 adult African American SCD clinic patients were examined (ie gender, BMI, SCD type, psychosocial status via Symptom Checklist-90-Revised; pain via Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire: Sensory Pain, Affective Pain (AP), Present Pain Intensity and ADLs. In total, 44% of the sample was overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). Depression, anxiety, and Symptom Checklist-90-Revised Global Severity Index were in the clinical range. Patients with HbS&bgr;+-thalassemia and hemoglobin SC disease had higher BMIs than those with HbSS (P < 0.001). AP and age-predicted impaired ADLs. In an OW/OB subsample, AP, age, and SCD severity predicted impaired ADLs. The consistent relationship of AP to ADL impairment suggests targeting AP via behavioral pain management may improve functioning.","PeriodicalId":92284,"journal":{"name":"Progress in preventive medicine (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"3 1","pages":"e0019"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/pp9.0000000000000019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61774245","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}

We describe the barriers and facilitators in implementing the “Isfahan Healthy Heart Program” (IHHP) interventions. The IHHP was conducted from 2000 to 2007 in Iran. The program consisted of 10 multidisciplinary intervention projects using both population and high risk approaches. Multiple organizations contributed to the implementation of the different interventions, including health centers, schools, worksites, food industries, academic institutes, nongovernmental organizations, and the media. To consider how to scale up this project for possible national implementation, we conducted a qualitative study that included interviewing all project managers about the facilitators and barriers they experienced. Factors that facilitated IHHP implementation included ownership and leadership, political will, existing capacity and infrastructure, good managerial relations, dedicated human resources, community empowerment, provider and user acceptance and cooperation, external collaboration, and flexibility of the interventions. Barriers included nonsupportive and unstable policies and environments, absence of universal health insurance coverage for noncommunicable disease primary prevention, “best buys” that were not applicable in different situations or cultures, failure in communication, sociopolitical and economic factors, and lack of connection between researchers and knowledge users. More intersectoral collaboration and adaptation to the continuous dynamic changes and interactions between and among the different components of interventions could overcome some of the barriers experienced. Identifying the barriers and facilitators of implementing community-based program can provide critically important information for large-scale implementation and development of new programs.","PeriodicalId":92284,"journal":{"name":"Progress in preventive medicine (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"3 1","pages":"e0014"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/pp9.0000000000000014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45325610","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}

Because of the great impact of WHO in influencing various health matters, there is wide interest and intensive effort to include new and important health issues in the working processes of WHO for acceptance to its agenda. One of these issues is promotion of physical activity to improve health. This article describes some key aspects of the structure and decision-making processes of WHO at mainly global level by examining the growth in the WHO’s emphasis on promoting physical activity over the last 5 decades. Initially, there was only weak and temporary interest in physical activity beginning in the 1960s, but currently, it is a topic that has warranted a comprehensive global action plan. The article comments on some of the key factors of this progress, including the increase during the 1980s and 1990s in the WHO’s emphasis on health promotion; the recognition of noncommunicable diseases as one of the main global health challenges in the 2000s; the widening of the understanding of the contents of and opportunities offered by physical activity for health; increased scientific evidence of the multiple benefits of physical activity to individual, population, community and environmental health, and persistent advocacy of a great number of leading researchers and established organizations around the world.","PeriodicalId":92284,"journal":{"name":"Progress in preventive medicine (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"3 1","pages":"e0012"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/pp9.0000000000000012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47750015","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}

Western medicine (WM) originates from Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean medicine (during the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman empires) and has established itself as the reference in most countries with undisputable benefits on health and life expectancy. Traditional medicines (TMs) are millennia old and offer empirical practices including medication with natural elements and focus on overall wellness. Although the purpose of relief is similar in WM and TM approaches, the philosophies and methodologies differ. TM emphasizes the consideration of the patient body and mind as a whole for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment; WM focuses on the suppression of symptoms on targeted parts of the body. The acceptance of TM by the scientific community is limited by the lack of ground-breaking scientific evidence of its benefits and efficiency, coupled to the ignorance of its inherent medical basis. We review the origins and concepts of TM from Southern and Eastern Asia, as compared with WM, and believe it can help to create a modern systems biology-based approach to health and healing, in the sense of predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory (P4) medicine.","PeriodicalId":92284,"journal":{"name":"Progress in preventive medicine (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"2 1","pages":"e0011"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/pp9.0000000000000011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46977803","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}

Physical activity potentially modifies associations between sleep and mortality. Our aim was to study the interrelationships between sleep, leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), a history of sports, and mortality. Methods: A prospective cohort of former elite male athletes (n = 1,028), and age- and region-matched nonathlete men (n = 610) completed a health questionnaire in 1985. Their mortality was followed up until December 31, 2011. Analyses included Cox proportional hazards models with sleep duration and sleep quality as main predictors of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Results: Sleep duration or sleep quality were not independently associated with mortality after controlling for socioeconomic and lifestyle factors. The interaction between sleep duration and LTPA was significant, with higher risk of all-cause and CVD mortality if sleeping 6 hours or less and not achieving 450 metabolic equivalent minutes LTPA weekly, as compared with sleeping 6.5–8.5 hours and achieving 450 metabolic equivalent minutes of LTPA. Also, the relative excess risk due to interaction between short sleep and low LTPA was significant for CVD mortality. Discussion: Significant interactions between sleep duration and LTPA with regard to mortality were observed. In particular, short sleep and low LTPA jointly predicted all-cause and CVD mortality irrespective of a history of sports. Findings suggest important synergistic associations of short sleep and low LTPA with CVD mortality risk.","PeriodicalId":92284,"journal":{"name":"Progress in preventive medicine (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"2 1","pages":"e0009"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/pp9.0000000000000009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48686541","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}
