Awareness and Self-Reported Health Hazards of Electromagnetic Waves from Mobile Phone Towers in Dhaka, Bangladesh: A Pilot Study
Full text linkBackground. Over the last few years there have been concerns regarding the health effects of electromagnetic waves (EMW) produced by mobile phone base transmitter stations (BTS). Data on possible health effects of EMW in developing countries are rare. This study was conducted to determine the awareness and self-reported health hazards of EMW from the mobile phone BTS in Dhaka city. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 220 respondents living around BTS in Dhaka city. Data was collected on sociodemographic characteristics, mobile phone use, BTS and EMW awareness, and self-reported health problems. Results. The majority of respondents (92.7%) reported to have seen a BTS but only 29.5% knows how it works and 74.5% had no knowledge about the EMW. 49% respondents experienced sleeping disturbances while recent episodes of headache or dizziness were reported by 47% and mood change or anxiety or depression by 41%. About 22% complained about other physical or mental symptoms. Conclusion. Awareness about the possible health hazards from EMW of BTS is low among the inhabitants of Dhaka city. A number of respondents mentioned recent health effects but the association with BTS could not be established

Longitudinal patterns of lifestyle risk behaviours among UK adults with established cardiovascular disease: a latent transition analysis
Full text linkBackgroundPeople with cardiovascular disease (CVD) need to engage in healthy lifestyle behaviours. However, there is a gap in identifying longitudinal patterns of change in lifestyle behaviours among people with CVD. This study aimed to identify clustering of lifestyle risk behaviours and their 4 ± year changes among UK adults with CVD, and to determine the associated factors.MethodsWe used the UK Biobank data collected at two time points (2006–2010/baseline data = T0 and 2014+/third visit data = T4). Six key lifestyle risk behaviours were assessed: smoking, high alcohol intake, poor fruit and vegetable consumption, physical inactivity, poor sleep balance (<7 or >8 h/night) and prolonged sitting. A random intercept latent transition analysis was performed to identify patterns of lifestyle risk behaviours at T0 and their changes from T0 to T4.ResultsWe included 5,304 participants with CVD whose data on lifestyle risk behaviours were collected at two-time points. Alcohol intake and current smoking were 75.7% and 5.4% at baseline, respectively, and 67.4% and 3.0% at follow-up. Three latent classes emerged: Latent class (LC) 1—“high alcohol intake, poor sleep balance and poor fruit and vegetable intake”, LC2—“high alcohol intake and poor fruit and vegetable intake”, and LC3—“high alcohol intake”. Most adults remained in the same LC over the 4 + years (range: 83.9%–100.0%). After 4 + years, 3.5% from LC3 and 10.4% from LC2 at baseline moved into LC1. The odds of transitioning to LC2 relative to staying in LC1 and LC3 were 2.22 and 4.13 times higher for males than for females, respectively. A single-year increase in participants' age was associated with a 1.16 times increase in the odds of moving to LC1 relative to staying in LC2.ConclusionPeople with CVD did not show improvement in lifestyle risk behaviours, and interventions targeting multiple lifestyle risk behaviours are needed to improve CVD
Prevalence of tobacco use and its contributing factors among adolescents in Bangladesh
No full textBackground: Tobacco use is one of the major avoidable and recognized causes of noncommunicable diseases globally. Tobacco use among adolescents is considered as priority health risk behaviors that contribute to leading causes of morbidity and mortality among youth and adults and are often established at young age, extend into adulthood and are preventable. Aims: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of tobacco use and its contributing factors among adolescents in Bangladesh. Settings and Design: We used data from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey Bangladesh 2007, which were a school-based survey of 2135 students aged 13-15 years in grades 7-10. Materials and Methods: A two-stage cluster sample design was used to produce representative data for Bangladesh. At the first stage, schools were selected with probability proportional to enrollment size. At the second stage, classes were randomly selected and all students in selected classes were eligible to participate. Statistical Analysis Used: We used SUDAAN for statistical analysis of correlated data, it computes standard errors of the estimates and produces 95% confidence intervals. We used t-tests to determine the differences between subpopulations. All analyses conducted in this study were gender stratified. Results: The overall prevalence of ever cigarette smokers in Bangladeshi students was about 9%, which was more than 3 times higher in boys compared to girls (15.8% vs. 4.8%). Almost four in ten students start smoking before the age of 10. In addition, another 6% students reported to use other tobacco products. About 70.7% students reported that they desired to stop smoking, and 85.0% tried to stop smoking during the past year but failed. About 42.2% students were exposed to smoke from other people in public places. Among current smokers, 97.8% reported that they were not refused cigarette purchase because of their age. Conclusions: Implementation and enforcement of tobacco control act are an urgent public health priority
