Abstract:

Background: The epidemic of childhood obesity is of increasing public health concern, with major implications for long-term health. Prevention strategies are urgently needed. Most of the evidence concerning risk factors for childhood obesity comes from observational studies, mainly from Western populations. In the West, socio-economic position (SEP) is often associated with potential risk factors and with childhood obesity, making these observational studies open to residual confounding. Evidence from a setting with a different confounding structure can be valuable in disentangling whether ass

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 17·3 million people died from cardiovascular disease worldwide in 2008 and more than 23 million people will die annually from cardiovascular disease by 2030. In the UK, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease is high — over 3 million people currently suffer from this disorder. There are a number of cardiovascular researchers in the UK population who access the National Health Services, but little evidence has been gathered from those who access the private medical insurance.

Abstract:

Background Globally, perinatal mortality accounts for approximately five million deaths (2.6 million stillbirths and 2 million early neonatal deaths) every year. Further, low birthweight which is a major adverse perinatal outcome constitutes more than 20 million births every year. Approximately 97%-99% of these adverse perinatal outcomes occur in low- and middle-income countries including Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the burden of perinatal mortality remains high at 44 deaths per 1,000 pregnancies and low birthweight accounts for approximately 36% of births every year, yet many modifiable facto

Abstract:

The global demographic, socio-economic and technological changes linked with lifestyle modifications are widely considered to be the underlying cause of the increased prevalence of CVD and other non-communicable disease worldwide. Understanding the role of the lifestyle factors in associations with these problems is important for treatment and prevention. The aims of the present thesis were: 1) To evaluate the associations between some lifestyle factors, body weight and shape, and CVD risk factors. 2) To determine the combination association between lifestyle factors and body weight and CVD ri

Abstract:

Abstract Age-related cataract is the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment worldwide in older adults. Although risk factors for cataract have been suggested, the aetiologies of different types of cataract, namely cortical, nuclear and posterior subcapsular (PSC) cataract, remain largely unclear. In particular, there is limited knowledge of potentially modifiable risk factors, such as dietary factors, and of cataract development in Asian populations. Recently, there has been growing interest in the genetics of cataract. It is likely that combination of genetic and environmental facto

Abstract:

Objectives. To study infant care practices and lifestyle choices of Aboriginal mothers and a comparison group. Relevance. To help formulate preventive strategies for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in Aboriginal infants. Methods. A two part design was used. Sixteen in-depth interviews with mothers of infants were completed and analysed using qualitative methods. Recurrent patterns in infant care practices, the language used to describe infant care, and sources of infant care information were sought. These data were used to construct a standardized survey tool, and to provide additional co

Abstract:

Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer and second leading cause of cancer related deaths in Canada. As Ontario has the largest population in Canada, it also has great disparities in colorectal cancer incidence. The region of Timiskaming has the highest incidence for colorectal cancer, while the region of Peel has the lowest incidence for colorectal cancer in Ontario. The purpose of this study is to identify the dominant non-nutritional modifiable environmental risk factors in the region of Timiskaming compared to the region of Peel that may be associated with diverging colorectal

Abstract:

Hypertension is a m ajor disease in the black population o f Sub-Saharan Africa and the United States o f America. It is one o f the m ajor risks for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity w hich contributes to disability and increased health care costs. Studies have revealed that socio- economic changes, influenced by Western lifestyles in developing countries, have to a large extent resulted in this health problem. The researcher set out to conduct a survey to describe the established modifiable risk factors for hypertension among Batswana in the Gaborone District. The modifiable ris

Abstract:

Background: Vitamin D may be important in the causal pathway to breast cancer (BC) by influencing mammographic breast density (MD). However, previous study results in postmenopausal women are inconsistent. Study objectives were to prospectively examine the relationship between biomarkers of vitamin D (25-OH-D) and percent MD in postmenopausal women at northern latitudes. Potential effect modification by exemestane therapy, calcium or genetic polymorphisms in the vitamin D pathway was also examined. Methods: This study evaluated a sub-cohort of postmenopausal women at elevated BC risk who part

Abstract:

M.A.<br>Chronic degenerative disease is responsible for a high percentage of deaths in industrialised westernised communities. These findings are not surprising if viewed in the light that most people consider physical activity not to be a priority in their daily activities. During the last decade, it would seem that employers have realised that the health status of an employee can have a direct influence on productivity, efficiency and absenteeism in the working environment. In an attempt to lower health-related costs, reduce absenteeism and improve productivity, some employers have started i

Abstract:

Background: This dissertation comprises research conducted on two distinct projects. Project I focuses on the connection between household air pollution (HAP) from cooking with biomass fuels and blood pressure (BP); this research is situated in the context of a large randomized trial of a cookstove intervention in Ghana, West Africa. The setting of Project II, meanwhile, is the residential environment of New York City, where we explore temperature and humidity conditions in homes and relate these conditions to summertime heat wave risk and to the survival and transmission of respiratory viruse
