BACKGROUND:Over the past two decades, international health policies focusing on the fight against the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), tuberculosis (TB), malaria, and those diseases that address maternal and child health problems, among others, have skewed disease control priorities in China and other Asian countries. Although these are important health problems, an epidemic of chronic, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in China has accounted for a much greater burden of disease due to the ongoing rapid socioeconomic and demographic transition.DISCUSSI

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have reached epidemic proportions globally and in South Africa. This thesis is situated within the health equity framework. The aim is to assess the extent of wealth related inequalities in NCDs and to assess the impact of the social determinants of health in mediating these inequalities. Data from the first South African National Health and Examination Survey (SANHANES-1) and wave 4 of the South African National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) were used.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, cancers, and cardiovascular disease, share modifiable risk factors, with overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition being among the most important of these. One public health strategy that has been widely employed to address these risk factors and reduce the burden of NCDs is mass media campaigns (MMCs). These campaigns use multiple channels – including television, radio, billboards, online, and increasingly social media – to communicate messages about the promotion of health and the prevention of the disease.

Abstract:

Master of Public Health - MPH<br>Obesity is one of the critical problems that threatens not only health, but the economy at a global level. Among the factors associated with obesity is less than optimum level of nutrition literacy. Nutrition literacy is more than just the food knowledge, it is a combination of other essential factors that help individuals to maintain healthy a body size. These factors include the selection and consumption of nutritious food; acquiring knowledge and skills in the areas of meal planning and preparation; as well as using and knowing how to read food labels

Master of Public Health - MPH<br>Background: Namibia is one of the sub-Saharan African countries where diabetes mellitus ranks among the top ten health conditions contributing to the disease burden and among the top 15 in-patient causes of death. An understanding of the population's knowledge, attitudes and perceptions is required to inform health education and interventions targeting diabetes mellitus. Aim: The aim was to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes and perceptions about diabetes mellitus among an adult population living in Windhoek, Namibia. Methodology: A quantitative cross-sec

Abstract:

Magister Public Health - MPH<br>South Africa is undergoing epidemiological transition characterised by large shifts in dietary patterns. Modern societies seem to have adopted a ―Western diet‖ which is high in saturated fats, sugar, salt, refined foods and low in fibre. Poor dietary intake practices are closely linked to the development of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which are the leading causes of death globally. Among the prevalent NCDs is diabetes, which is closely associated with obesity. South Africa is not spared the widespread increase in diabetes and obesity, in both rural and urb

Abstract:

<p>Hypertension is one of the most common non-communicable diseases, and it is the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, death and disability worldwide, especially in developing countries. Physical activity has been regarded as a commonly accepted modality for preventing and treating hypertension. However, despite its known benefits, this modality of treatment and prevention of&nbsp<br>hypertension continues to be underused. The present study aimed to determine the demographic, social and health-related factors that are associated with levels of physical activity participation among adults

Abstract:

Chronic nutrition related non-communicable diseases (NR-NCDs) are more prevalent in south Asians living in the United Kingdom compared to the general UK population. Observed differences have been attributed to inter-generational nutritional experiences and pattern of lifestyle changes which affect the risk of adult disease in later life. The aim of this research is to investigate socio-demographic variables, their food culture, dietary intakes, lifestyles, physical activity and experiences that contribute to the risk factor of NR-NCDs. Therefore, this study was designed in three phases. Phase

Abstract:

This thesis explores the impacts of climate change on food, nutrition, and health in the island nation of Vanuatu. It demonstrated that climate change exacerbates existing food and nutrition insecurities and promotes dietary trends towards nutrient-poor, energy-dense imported foods and increased risk of diet-related noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Climate change impacts beyond physical health were evident, such as threats to food sovereignty, traditional foodways and practices, culture, and spirituality. This research strengthens the broader call for ambi

Abstract:

Magister Artium (Sport, Recreation and Exercise Science) - MA(SRES)<br>The prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the rising cause of mortality globally. Physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption are common NCDs risk factors contributing to premature death, related to NCDs worldwide. Youth’s lack of knowledge and misconception on physical activity (PA) and NCDs risk factors, aids the growing burden of NCDs globally. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the knowledge and perception of youth in a low-resourced community in the Wester

Abstract:

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease and cancers are the main causes of premature death and disability in England. This thesis uses a microsimulation modelling methodology to examine and quantify the effectiveness and equity of existing primary prevention policies and feasible alternatives. Methods: I created and validated IMPACT_NCD, a dynamic stochastic microsimulation model from first epidemiological principles, to simulate the life course of synthetic individuals under counterfactual scenarios. First, I used the model to quantify the contribution of statins to the observed decline in total
