Role of lifestyle interventions in reducing UTI burden among Individuals with obesity.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a prevalent health concern globally, and their incidence is disproportionately higher among individuals with obesity. Obesity increases the likelihood of UTIs due to a range of physiological, immunological, and behavioural factors. This article explores the relationship between obesity and UTIs while emphasizing evidence-based lifestyle changes to lower this risk. The discussion includes strategies such as weight management, dietary changes, increased physical activity, proper hydration, and behavioural adjustments as vital steps for reducing UTI prevalence in obese individuals. By tackling these modifiable factors, healthcare providers can enhance UTI prevention and the overall health of this at-risk population.
期刊介绍:
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
