Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Sleep value, the worth placed on sleep, is an important dimension of sleep health. Using the Sleep Valuation Item Bank (SVIB) we have previously found associations between sleep value factors and demographic, sleep, and psychological variables. The patterns of sleep value hint that there may be distinct sleep value profiles. In a nationally representative sample of 454 participants, we sought to identify these profiles and explore whether they differ in demographic features. Methods Participants ages 18-85 (M = 45) completed an online Qualtrics survey that included demographic variables and the SVIB. The factor structure of the SVIB was confirmed using factor analysis. Latent profile analyses with the confirmed factors were conducted and multiple models were compared to identify the best-fitting sleep value profiles. Multiple regression was used to explore whether these profiles differed in age, gender, marital status, income, education, having dependents, and race. Results Five sleep value factors were confirmed: sleep wanting, liking, devaluing, prioritizing, and preferring. Latent profile analysis found evidence for 5 classes, or sleep value profiles: (1) an indifferent profile who neither valued nor devalued their sleep who made up 25% of the sample, (2) sleep prioritizers who scheduled their lives around sleep made up 27% of the sample, (3) sleep devaluers made up 26%, (4) an ambivalent profile who highly valued and devalued sleep made up 15%, and (5) on 7% were sleep valuers. Those with the indifferent profile tended to be older (p &lt; .001). Those with the ambivalent profile were more likely to be working-age adults (p &lt; .001) and male (p &lt; .05). Conclusion This study found distinct profiles of sleep value that differ in terms of demographics. Only 7% of our nationally representative sample had a profile suggesting they value sleep. The vast majority had an indifferent, ambivalent, or devaluing profile. Understanding how the patterns of sleep value develop and inform sleep-related behavior is an important avenue for future research. These findings may help personalize messaging for sleep health promotion. Support (if any)

Abstract:

Objectives: Population-based studies have focused on patients’ rendering of orthodontic treatment due to their malocclusion and medical needs. However, there is a scarcity of data from national sources on the prevalence of orthodontic visits and associated patient characteristics, as well as their effect on dental health. This study evaluated the demographic differences of orthodontic patients and examined the association between orthodontics use and risk of periodontal disease and oral surgical intervention. Methods: This study used data collected from the 2019 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate socio-demographics and covariates by the use of orthodontics. Chi-square tests were used to assess demographic differences among respondents who stated whether or not they used orthodontics. Logistic regression models were then used to examine the association of orthodontics and oral health outcomes. Results: The sample size was 12,422, of which 491 respondents indicated a usage of orthodontics. There were significant differences among demographic variables (p < 0.05) that included 61.1% females, 60.8% Whites, 67.6% participants under the age of 18 years old, and a family total income of $100,000 or more (52.7%). After controlling for socio-demographics and covariates, individuals who used orthodontics were less likely to have periodontal disease (AOR = 0.623, 95% CI = 0.610 to 0.637) and tooth extractions (AOR = 0.071, 95% CI = 0.070 to 0.073) than those who did not. Conclusions: Our findings indicate orthodontics usage was higher in females, younger patients, and Whites, highlighting the possible demographic disparities in orthodontics use. Additionally, those who used orthodontics were less likely to have oral health issues.

Abstract:

India has several socially disadvantaged communities and Scheduled Tribes are the most deprived ones. In Census 2011 the Government of India identified 10,42,81,034 citizens as Scheduled Tribes constituting 8.6% of the total population of the India (As per 2001 Census, it was 8.2% of the total population of India). In India, each state is practically equivalent to a country with its own specific socio-economic level, different ethnic groups, food habits, health infrastructures and communication facilities. Kodagu is one such district located on the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats in Karnataka and is home to many communities with diverse ethnic origins, and tribes such as the Yeravas, Kurubas and Kudiyas, who are of hunter-gatherers of forest origin. The present study focuses on the socio demographic and economic conditions of the Yerava, Jenu Kuruba and Malekudiya tribes. There have been changes especially in the social and economic life of these tribal people though, differences were found in their social, demographic and economic conditions.

Abstract:

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate changing demographic patterns in Middle East countries to recognize that the inexorable demographic momentum will have important implications for the economic and social forces that will shape future societal well-being. Theoretical framework: The demographic change-economic growth relationship has become the dominant paradigm in the field of population and development, and an advocacy tool for highlighting the benefits of the age structure change. The young dependent population of a nation decreased compared to the working-age counterpart following an annual birth decrease. Thus, with lesser individuals who are dependent on the country, it has the chance for fast economic growth. Design/methodology/approach: This study is based on a deductive approach to focus on the evaluation of changing demographic patterns in Middle East countries. Findings: The working-age population in the Middle East region is a potential agent of change toward realizing a more successful future, through their role in reaping the demographic dividend. It is imperative for Middle Eastern countries to implement the needed macroeconomic strategies and changes, fiscal, regulatory, and labor-market policy changes, which will take full advantage of the employment prospects. Research practical social implication: This study makes significant contributions to the existing body of knowledge of changing demographics in Middle East countries. Policymakers need to carry out critical action which is crucial if the working-age population in the Middle East is to attain its maximum potential, offer solutions to problems, and assist the region in benefiting from the demographic dividend. Originality/value: This study is different from the previous studies because it evaluated the changing demographic patterns in Middle East countries in a detailed way.

Abstract:

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) results from production of dysregulated gut mucosal immune response to luminal antigens. Scientific literature pertaining to Southern part of Indian is limited, especially with focus on demographic and clinical phenotypes of IBD. Hence, the present study is aimed at evaluating these factors in a geographic area of Uttar Karnataka in two types of IBD- Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). Methodology: A retrospective study was done with 91 patients with IBD from 2009 to 2019. Patients were routinely started on treatment with local and systemic 5-aminosalicylic acid derivatives. Different line of therapies was administered to both UC and Crohn’s disease with different drugs or combination of drugs. Results: Of the 91 patients, 85 were having UC and 6 with CD. The mean age of patients with UC and CD was 41.8 years and 52.2 years; male predominance was observed in UC group of patients in contrast to CD group. UC patients were found with Extraintestinal manifestation i.e. Erythema nodosum (0.01%), Type 1 peripheral arthritis (0.01%), Type 2 peripheral arthritis (0.01%). A total of 6 UC patients required surgery for various causes, with the majority being males, including 2 of them who developed cancer. Conclusion: There was a predominance of patients with UC, especially in men. The age, origin and level of education may interfere with early diagnosis. This geographical region survey provides an opportunity for understanding possible etiopathogenetic factors associated with the disease and pattern of treatment.

Abstract:

Background: To find the frequency and clinico-pathological presentation of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC).Materials and Methods:In this study, we included all the malignant salivary gland tumors. Among these the frequency of mucoepidermoid carcinoma was considered. Age, gender, histopathological grading and anatomical site of tumor were included in data analysis.Results:Out of 60 malignant salivary gland tumors reported to the histopathology department, 30 tumors were diagnosed as mucoepidermoid carcinomas. The patient’s age having mucoepidermoid carcinoma ranged from 6 to 88 years, mean age of 44.9±19.2SD. The male patients were 23 in number while female were 7. Out of 30 cases, 73.3% patients had tumor in parotid gland, while13.3% patients in submandibular gland . Other tumors were in palate, retromolar area, and in posterior 1/3rdof tongue (13.3%). According to histopathological grading 26.6% cases of MEC were of high grade, 26.6 % were intermediate grade and 36.6% were low grade.Conclusions:According to this study, the frequency of MEC was 50% among all salivary gland tumors. MEC was mostly found in parotid gland and histopathologically low grade type was the most common.

Abstract:

: To study the demographic factors, risk factors, microbiological profile and clinical course of patients with corneal ulcer presenting to Minto Regional institute of ophthalmology Bangalore.: A total of 876 patients diagnosed with infective corneal ulcer from January 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed for demographic profile, risk factors, clinico-microbiological profile at Minto Regional institute of ophthalmology Bengaluru. Among the 876 patients, 596 (68.04%) were male and 280 (31.96%) were females. 613(69.97%) were in the age group of 51-60 years. 85.04% belonged to low socioeconomic class. History of injury from vegetative matter was the leading cause and was seen in 264(30.14%) patients. Among the 613 (69.98%) culture positive patients, 410 (46.81%) were positive for fungi, while 203 (23.17%) were positive for bacteria. 674(76.94%) out of 876 responded to conservative management alone, while 202 (23.06%) patients required therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty. Fungal corneal ulcers caused by Aspergillus were the most common type, followed by bacterial corneal ulcers due to Staphylococcus aureus. Incidence of fungal corneal ulcer is very high among agricultural and industrial workers. Lack of awareness and delayed treatment leads to corneal blindness. This emphasizes the need for awareness among at risk population and also shall guide clinicians in decision making regarding empirical treatment.

Abstract:

The main purpose of the study is to identify whether there is a connection between different demographic values, as well as socio-demographic characteristics of social network VKontakte users. Based on a large data set of user comments of two types - parental and childfree groups, - the paper identifies the links between different types of demographic values - positive or negative attitudes towards parenthood, family creation, having children, attitude towardshealthy lifestyle, as well as between values and socio-demographic characteristics such as gender, age, marital status. Drawing on a logit analysis, the authors construct socio-demographic profiles of so-called “pronatalists” (parental groups) and “anti-natalists” (childfree groups)in Russia and prove the correlation between different types of values. For example, positiveattitudes towards parenthood, childbearing, and family creation (reproductive and family values) are associated with negative attitudes towards smoking and alcohol (positive vital values). The marital status is also associated with these positive values (which indirectly indicates a connection with matrimonial values). A connection was found both between different types of demographic values of the social network users of selected demographic groups, and a connection between the socio-demographic characteristics of users and their values. For example, women and older people (in some model specifications) are more proneto family values. Additionally, the study confirms the quality of the choice of demographic groups in social network by names and declared values- a connection is traced between belonging to pronatalist or antinatalist groups and value attitudes about life priorities (familyor leisure and self-development).

Full text

Abstract:

We tested the hypothesis that the lipid composition of infant formula is consistent between manufacturers, countries and target demographic. We developed techniques to profile the lipid and glyceride fraction of milk and formula in a high throughput fashion. Formula from principal brands in the UK (2017–2019; bovine-, caprine-, soya-based), the Netherlands (2018; bovine-based) and South Africa (2018; bovine-based) were profiled along with fresh British animal and soya milk and skimmed milk powder. We found that the lipid and glyceride composition of infant formula differed by region, manufacturer and date of manufacture. The formulations within some brands, aimed at different target age ranges, differed considerably where others were similar across the range. Soya lecithin and milk lipids had characteristic phospholipid profiles. Particular sources of fat, such as coconut oil, were also easy to distinguish. Docosahexaenoic acid is typically found in triglycerides rather than phospholipids in formula. The variety by region, manufacturer, date of manufacture and sub-type for target demographics lead to an array of lipid profiles in formula. This makes it impossible to predict its molecular profile. Without detailed profile of the formula fed to infants, it is difficult to characterise the relationship between infant nutrition and their growth and development.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective This study aimed to (a) validate the factor structure for a measure of peer conflict in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D); (b) determine empirical patterns of peer conflict in terms of context (friend vs. nonfriend) and content (diabetes-specific vs. general) within a broader context of socio-demographic factors; and (c) examine how these patterns and socio-demographic factors relate to adolescents’ T1D adherence, quality of life, and glycemic control (HbA1c). Methods Youth with T1D (N = 178), ages 12–18, reported demographic variables, illness duration, adherence, quality of life, and peer conflict. HbA1c was extracted from medical records. Confirmatory factor analysis validated a factor structure for the Diabetes Peer Conflict Scale (DPCS) and latent profile analysis (LPA) determined profiles of peer conflict. Results A four-factor structure emerged for the DPCS: general friend conflict, general nonfriend conflict, T1D friend conflict, and T1D nonfriend conflict. Using these factors as indicators in LPA, four profiles were confirmed: (a) Low Overall Conflict (LOC) and (b) Moderate Overall Conflict (MOC), (c) a Nonfriend Conflict (NFC), and (d) a Friend Conflict (FC) profile. Differences were not identified between diabetes specific versus general conflict. Socio-demographic variables did not predict class membership. The LOC profile reported the highest quality of life and best glycemic control, whereas the FC profile reported the lowest adherence behaviors. Conclusions: Peer conflict uniquely contributes to diabetes adaptation above and beyond socio-demographic and illness factors.

Objective: To determine the symptoms, demographic parameters and health profile of post-menopausal women and factors related to the deranged health profile. Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Pak Emirates Military Hospital Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jun 2019 to Aug 2021. Methodology: Five hundred post-menopausal women were included in this study via convenience sampling. Menopause was confirmed based on clinical and laboratory information. A consultant Gynecologist inquired about details of clinical symptoms and demographic profile. Relationship of age, body mass index, use of hormonal replacement therapy and living with husband was assessed with the presence of deranged health profile among the post-menopausal women participating in this study. Results: Out of 500 post-menopausal women studied in the given period, 323 (64.6%) had at least one clinical symptom of a deranged health profile, while 177 (35.4%) did not report any such symptom. The mean age of the study participants was 58.47 ± 4.561 years. Hot flushes 200 (40%) were the most commonly reported symptoms, followed by urinary tract infections 121 (24.2%) and palpitations 121 (24.2%). After applying the statistical analysis, high body mass index and not using hormonal replacement therapy emerged as factors associated with deranged health profiles in the study participants (p-value <0.001). Conclusion: Most of the women had at least one clinical symptom after menopause. Hot flushes, urinary tract infections and palpitations were commonly reported symptoms. Patients with high body mass index and no hormonal replacement therapy were more likely to have a........

Abstract:

Background: Himalayas constitute vast mountain range in Asia spreading over 2500 Km (from east to west) at a high altitude along the northern fringes of the Indian subcontinent. The population dynamics in Himalayan domain has been immensely influenced by the variations in climatic and topographic conditions. As a result, population trends in relation to several demographic parameters are observed as population growth varies across this immense geographical contour. Objective: The present study attempts to assess and compare several crucial demographic parameters of select population groups (tribes and caste groups) residing in Himalayan province so as to provide a comprehensive picture of their demographic profile. The variation in demographic variables has also been addressed in relation to socio-economic and biological attributes. Materials and Methods: Multiple demographic determinants viz., sex-ratio, index – of – ageing, age at marriage and menarche, crude birth rate, total fertility rate, crude death rate and infant mortality rate are utilized to address demographic diversity in Himalayan population groups. Results: The sex ratio has been observed to be higher among reported population groups in Central Himalayas in comparison to Western and Eastern Himalayas. The measures of fertility – CBR, GFR and TFR – depict high values in certain population groups of Central Himalayas (Johar Bhotia, Rang Bhotia and Raji) in comparison to Western and Eastern province. Contribution: The present paper provides a comprehensive picture of the demographic profile among select Himalayan population groups. This will aid to understand the trend in demographic characteristics in the Himalayan province.

Abstract:

Introduction: Dry eye is a disorder of the tear film which occurs due to tear deficiency or excessive tear evaporation. It causes damage to the interpalpebral ocular surface and is associated with a variety of symptoms reflecting ocular discomfort.Materials and Methods: This was a hospital-based retrospective descriptive study conducted to study the demography of dry eye patients and associated attributable risk factors for the disease. Every patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of dry eye was given a questionnaire, as per Salisbury Eye Evaluation Study and thorough ocular examination was done along with two tests for dry eye i.e Schirmer test I measuring less than 10mm and Tear film break up time measuring less than 10 sec. Final data analysis was done using statistical tool SPSS.Results: Demographic profile revealed a female preponderance in the patients with a ratio of 1.9:1. Amongst them, prevalence of premenopausal age was 53%. Dry eye was found to be more common in age group between 30 to 40 years (29%). The modifiable attributable risk factors were urban residence (67%), exposure to air condition and computer user (52%), indoor workers (59%), and environmental pollutants (60%).Conclusions: This study revealed the patients who presented with dry eye were mostly female of premenopausal age group, and exposed to modifiable risk factors which included residing at urban areas, indoor work, and exposure to environmental pollutants.

Abstract:

Objective: The social and demographic characteristics of a New Zealand sample of young people making medically serious suicide attempts were examined and compared with those of a control sample of similar age. Method: Using a case control design, 129 young people making serious suicide attempts were contrasted with 153 randomly selected community controls on a series of social and demographic characteristics including educational achievement, socioeconomic status, income, occupation, religious affiliation and ethnicity. The age and gender distribution of the sample, and the methods of suicide attempt, were examined. Results: Almost equal numbers of young males (45.7%) and females (54.3%) made medically serious suicide attempts. The clear majority of serious suicide attempts were by overdose or poisoning (78.3%), with tricyclic antidepressants (38.6%) and paracetamol (37.6%) together accounting for three-quarters (76.2%) of all drug overdoses. Young people who were less well educated and who were from lower socio-economic backgrounds had elevated risk of serious suicide attempts. Conclusions: Young people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds have elevated risk of serious suicide attempt.

Abstract:

Background: Undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis is a group of inflammatory joint diseases that do not fulfil the classification criteria for any other rheumatic or connective tissue disorders. This study aims to describe the clinical, demographic and serological features of undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis cases presenting at a tertiary level rheumatology centre from Nepal.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at National Centre for Rheumatic Diseases, Kathmandu, Nepal which represents a midterm analysis of the undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis registry maintained at the centre. Patients more than 18 years of age, who consented for the study having least one swollen or tender joint were enrolled. Ethical approval was obtained from Nepal Health Research Council.Results: A total of 1120 patients were enrolled in the study out of which 941 (84%) were females. The mean age at diagnosis was 46.0±12.8 years and most of them were in overweight range (mean BMI: 27.0±5.8) with 818 (73%) patients having BMI more than 24.0. Patients mostly had low disease activity at presentation (DAS 28 score of 2.5±0.8). Other markers of inflammation and patient reported outcome measures (health assessment questionnaire, patient global assessment and visual analogue scale) were also in the moderate range. Seropositivity for anti-citrullinated peptides and anti-nuclear antibodies was seen in 5 (0.45%) and 43 (3.8%) patients respectively. Majority of patients were non-smokers (77%). Inflammatory arthritis on musculoskeletal ultrasonography was seen in 638 (57%).Conclusions: Undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis was more common in overweight females. Serological markers and smoking status are not common features in these patients. Keywords: Early arthritis; Nepal; undifferentiated arthritis.

Abstract:

The Kom tribe of Manipur with a population of 15,988 (2001, census) are concentrated in Churachandpur and Senapati districts of Manipur. The sex ratio is 1021.24; General Fertility rate is 81.56. Though having a high literacy rate (73.24%), their accessibility to health facilities is very low which is reflected in their causes of death - unknown (55.74%), followed by diarrhea, T.B. and birth related deaths. An attempt has also been made to review different views of their genesis and identity.

Abstract:

Aim. Spastic hemiparesis is part of a complex clinical manifestation associated with a pathology of the central nervous system in a context of an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke or in connection with various structural and functional innate or acquired changes. Disabling both the functional and psychosocial areas, spastic hemiparesis is a major element for the patient-centered concerns in the last decades. The study aims to create a demographic profile of a patient with stroke. Material and methods. The present study took into account patients hospitalized for clinical and functional assessment and specific rehabilitation program within a period of 6 months. It has aimed the collection of the demographic data including age, gender, living environment, education, as well as of the clinical data (age of the disease, comorbidities, smoker profile, features of the cerebral pathology, cognitive level). Results. The data were grouped to outline the profile of a hemiplegic patient addressed to our clinic for diagnosis and therapy. Discussions. A descriptive study of the group using data collected by direct interview or from medical documents was done. The limitations of the study are the difficulties in addressability especially for the patients that live in the rural areas and the lack of centralized data from other recent studies nationwide. Conclusion. The resulting data is very close to those shown in similar studies conducted in Europe and suggests the need for further development of health policies focusing on the needs of the neurological patients.

Abstract:

This paper aims to provide descriptive results about demographic trends (natality, mortality, and migration) and their effect on age structure in Romania in the past 30 years. We focus on analysing rural areas, since, while having a negative natural growth and negative net external migration values, internal migration has further affected rural areas by increasing the rate of population decline in many localities. Apart from describing rural areas at a general level, we also differentiate various rural localities according to two criteria, namely inclusion in functional urban areas of every county seat and the existence of marginalised communities within localities’ administrative territory. This differentiation allowed us to portray population characteristics within the broader context of uneven economic development across Romania. Various well-developed cities, known as magnet cities, contribute not only to an increase of population volumes in the surrounding rural settlements but also to other demographic discrepancies between the growth poles and the peripheries. Keywords: rural areas; demographic change; functional urban areas; marginalized communities.

Abstract:

Background: Better knowledge of socio-demographic profile and obstetric features may help in early identification and treatment of patients with post-partum psychosis. The aim of present research is to study the age, parity, socio-demographic and obstetric and menstrual profile of patients suffering from post-partum psychosis. Setting and Design: A cross-sectional study at in-patient department of psychiatry, SS Medical College and associated SGMH Rewa.Methods: The study was conducted on sixty patients of post-partum psychosis admitted in psychiatry ward. Detailed socio-demographic characteristics, obstetric and menstrual profile along with psychiatric assessment were recorded in proforma specially designed for the study.Results: Bulk of our post partum psychotic subjects (60%) were in the age range of 18-25 years with 83.33% of women were residing at rural areas. Most of subjects (76.67%) of post partum psychosis were illiterate. 73.33% patient were belonging to low socio-economic status and remaining to middle and high socioeconomic status. Majority of subjects (13.33%) were house wife (86.67%) followed by laborer class. Family jointness reveal 80% and 20% of subjects trailed from joint and nuclear family respectively. the maximum number of subjects (60%) were primipara with only 13.33% of subjects had history of obstetric complication in form of prolonged labour and post-partum heamorrhage. 25% subjects had cesarean delivery. 40% patients of puerperal psychosis were having menstrual irregularity and 60% had regular menstruation.Conclusions: Screening of vulnerable groups i.e. younger age, primipara, history of irregular menstruation in post partum period for psychiatric sign and symptoms is requisite for early diagnosis and prompt and adequate management. As most of the patients were from rural areas it is necessary to establish psychiatric services in rural areas as well so that this group of population can be provided holistic care along with already existing medical services.

Abstract:

This study was conducted to obtain a personality profile and a descriptive analysis of a typical substance user who is presently enrolled in a treatment center and is receiving professional help for his or her substance use at one of four participating treatment centers in a southwestern city in the United States. According to the findings, a typical substance abuser is a thirty-one year old male who is third born and has parents who are more frequently non-professional. Most respondents became involved with substance use because of peer influence and reported feeling bored/unhappy. First substance use experiences were more frequently with marijuana, although at the time of enrollment at the treatment center, alcohol, cocaine/crack, heroine, marijuana, and a combination of substances were typically used. When ranking the major problems they perceive having in their lives, respondents reported most frequently, substance use and being bored/unhappy in life. When assessing respondent's family type, a difference was found between the balanced and midrange families when considering their plans on having children. Of the substance using respondents, most were planning children in their lives and of this group, many were from extreme (low functioning) families.
