Relationship between Vitamin D Status and Blood Pressure, Age, Physical Activity, and Nutritional Status in Saudi Males and Females by Tahani Aljurbua in Food Science_ Nutrition Open access Journal
Cardiovascular diseases are now the leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for over 17 million deaths in 2016. The epidemiological transition driven by industrialization and urbanization has led to lifestyle changes that promote cardiovascular risks like obesity, physical inactivity and smoking. In India, cardiovascular diseases account for 27% of all deaths, with over 2.5 million deaths in 2016. The major cardiovascular diseases - coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and hypertension - and their risk factors are discussed. Modifiable behavioral and metabolic risk factors provide opportunities for prevention and management of cardiovascular mortality on a global scale.

AIM A study on food habits and social habits as risk factors among patients undergoing Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty PTCA OBJECTIVE To know the association of food habits and social habits as risk factors for PTCA. To observe various co morbidities among the patients To study the bio chemical parameters in patients such as heamoglobin, PVC, platelet count, bilirubin levels. To observe various social habits in the patient, such as smoking and alcohol consumption. Food consumption pattern. METHODOLOGY The sample population n = 60 of 28 80 years of age were chosen from a multi speciality hospital in Hyderabad. All the patients were of different age groups, sex, socio economic status, ethnicity with different co morbidities. A pre tested format consisting of patients profile, subjective data, objective data, biochemical data, medications and 24 hour dietary recall followed by medical nutrition therapy during the hospital stay. RESULTS Among n=60 subjects from 28 80 years of age, the detailed study identified the common risk factors with respect to cardiovascular diseases. The study showed a higher percentage of age from 28 70 years and is mostly in males. Majority of the patients are with increased BMI and are alcholics smokers. Obesity, Hypertension and Diabetes are predominant and dietary patterns recorded are mostly non vegetarians with high calorie, high fat and high protein consumption. CONCLUSION From the result it is very clear that majority of the patients studied with cardiovascular diseases belong to the age group 28 70 years and is mostly seen in males. Majority of them are accompanied with co morbidities with obesity, hypertension and diabetic. And predominantly follow a high calorie and high fat diet .Thus leading to a conclusion that consumption of high calorie and high fat food, presence of co morbidities and smoking could be the risk factors of PTCA.

Vitamin D Deficiency in Association with HSCRP Linked to Obesityijtsrd
Vitamin D deficiency is gaining increasing attention for its novel association with Obesity. Studies have found that maintaining vitamin D status may reduce ones risk of developing various diseases. Background In 2010, overweight and obesity were estimated to cause 3"¢4 million deaths, 3"¢9 of years of life lost, and 3"¢8 of disability-adjusted life-years DALYs worldwide. The rise in obesity has led to widespread calls for regular monitoring of changes in overweight and obesity prevalence in all populations. The treatment of obesity and cardiovascular diseases is one of the most difficult and important challenges nowadays. This paper seeks to examine the consistently reported relationship between obesity and low vitamin D concentrations in association with HSCRP, with reference to the possible underlying mechanisms. The possibility that vitamin D may assist in preventing or treating obesity is also examined and recommendations for future research are made. We tested the hypothesis that suggests Adults with severe obesity have lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels will have higher hs-CRP levels.

The document discusses the global and national burden of diseases. It provides information on key metrics used to measure disease burden, including DALYs and QALYs. At a global level, non-communicable diseases now account for over half of all deaths. In India, the burden has transitioned from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases from 1990 to 2016. However, poorer states still face a high burden from communicable diseases. The top causes of disease burden in India are now non-communicable such as ischemic heart disease and COPD. Child malnutrition, air pollution, and risks associated with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes have also increased substantially.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in India, with over 60 million people projected to have coronary heart disease by 2015. Mortality rates from heart disease are twice as high in India compared to the US and several times higher than some European countries. Risk factors like hypertension, diabetes and abnormal cholesterol develop at younger ages in India compared to Western countries. Diet plays a major role, as Indian diets tend to be high in saturated and trans fats. Primary prevention through controlling cholesterol levels earlier in life could help reduce India's growing heart disease burden.
Non-communicalbe diseases and its preventionShoaib Kashem
Non communicable disease account for a large and increasing burden of disease worldwide. It is currently estimated that non communicable disease accounts for approximately 60% of global deaths and 43% of global disease burden. This is projected to increase to 73% of deaths and 60% of disease burden by 2020.

Assessment of the Prevalence of Some Cardiovascular Risk Factors among the O...Scientific Review SR
This document summarizes a study that assessed cardiovascular risk factors among two ethnic groups in Rivers State, Nigeria.
The study measured blood pressure, body mass index, fasting blood sugar levels, smoking status, and other factors in 200 subjects from the Ogoni and Ikwerre ethnic groups. Mean values for factors like age, blood pressure, and BMI were calculated and compared between males and females within each ethnic group. Several cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and obesity were found to be prevalent. The highest BMI values indicating obesity were found in male smokers, diabetics, and hypertensives, showing their higher risk for cardiovascular disease.
This document is a term paper submitted by students of the Bachelor of Public Health program at La Grande International College in Nepal on the topic of the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. It provides background information on NCDs including risk factors. Global data shows NCDs account for 60% of deaths worldwide, with 80% occurring in low- and middle-income countries. In Nepal, NCDs account for 42% of all deaths currently and are projected to cause 66.3% of deaths by 2030. The term paper analyzes NCD prevalence in Nepal and compares communicable to non-communicable disease burdens. It also examines Nepal's NCD policies and strategies.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancers are the leading causes of death worldwide, responsible for 60% of all deaths globally. NCD prevalence is rapidly increasing in Sri Lanka and is linked to risk factors like unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and obesity. These risk factors are commonly seen in Sri Lanka and have contributed to higher NCD mortality rates than in many developed countries. While knowledge of NCDs and their risk factors is important, many Sri Lankans remain unaware of their NCD status due to a lack of screening and education. Widespread lifestyle changes are needed to address the growing NCD burden through healthy diets, regular exercise and the avoidance
There has been an increase in the predominance of diabetes mellitus over the past 40 years worldwide. The worldwide occurrence of diabetes in 2000 was approximately 2.8% and is estimated to grow to 4.4% by 2030. This data interprets a projected rise of diabetes from 171 million in 2000 to well over 350 million in 2030. The presence of hypertension in diabetic patients substantially increases the risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, nephropathy and retinopathy. Indeed, when hypertension coexists with diabetes, the risk of CVD is increased by 75%, which further contributes to the overall morbidity and mortality of an already high risk population. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a considerably higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and are disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease. Most of this excess risk is associated with high prevalence of well-established risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia and obesity in these patients. Hypertension plays a major role in the development and progression of microvascular and macrovascular disease in people with diabetes. Lifestyle Modifications and pharmacotherapy are the choice for the Management of Hypertension in Patients with Diabetes.
- It is not wise to delay prevention and early detection of diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Waiting until symptoms become severe or obvious to seek treatment can lead to terrible health outcomes or death.
- Many major non-communicable diseases account for over half of all deaths in India. By 2033, diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes are projected to cause even more deaths than infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS.
- Early detection through regular health screenings and adopting a healthy lifestyle can help reduce risks and catch diseases in earlier, more treatable stages. Ignoring prevention and putting off treatment is a dangerous approach with serious health consequences.

Several cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and obesity were found to be prevalent. The highest BMI values indicating obesity were found in male smokers, diabetics, and hypertensives, showing their higher risk for cardiovascular disease.
This document is a term paper submitted by students of the Bachelor of Public Health program at La Grande International College in Nepal on the topic of the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. It provides background information on NCDs including risk factors. Global data shows NCDs account for 60% of deaths worldwide, with 80% occurring in low- and middle-income countries. In Nepal, NCDs account for 42% of all deaths currently and are projected to cause 66.3% of deaths by 2030. The term paper analyzes NCD prevalence in Nepal and compares communicable to non-communicable disease burdens. It also examines Nepal's NCD policies and strategies.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancers are the leading causes of death worldwide, responsible for 60% of all deaths globally. NCD prevalence is rapidly increasing in Sri Lanka and is linked to risk factors like unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and obesity. These risk factors are commonly seen in Sri Lanka and have contributed to higher NCD mortality rates than in many developed countries. While knowledge of NCDs and their risk factors is important, many Sri Lankans remain unaware of their NCD status due to a lack of screening and education. Widespread lifestyle changes are needed to address the growing NCD burden through healthy diets, regular exercise and the avoidance
There has been an increase in the predominance of diabetes mellitus over the past 40 years worldwide. The worldwide occurrence of diabetes in 2000 was approximately 2.8% and is estimated to grow to 4.4% by 2030. This data interprets a projected rise of diabetes from 171 million in 2000 to well over 350 million in 2030. The presence of hypertension in diabetic patients substantially increases the risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, nephropathy and retinopathy. Indeed, when hypertension coexists with diabetes, the risk of CVD is increased by 75%, which further contributes to the overall morbidity and mortality of an already high risk population. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a considerably higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and are disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease. Most of this excess risk is associated with high prevalence of well-established risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia and obesity in these patients. Hypertension plays a major role in the development and progression of microvascular and macrovascular disease in people with diabetes. Lifestyle Modifications and pharmacotherapy are the choice for the Management of Hypertension in Patients with Diabetes.
- It is not wise to delay prevention and early detection of diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Waiting until symptoms become severe or obvious to seek treatment can lead to terrible health outcomes or death.
- Many major non-communicable diseases account for over half of all deaths in India. By 2033, diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes are projected to cause even more deaths than infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS.
- Early detection through regular health screenings and adopting a healthy lifestyle can help reduce risks and catch diseases in earlier, more treatable stages. Ignoring prevention and putting off treatment is a dangerous approach with serious health consequences.

This document summarizes a large systematic review and meta-analysis examining the relationship between vitamin D levels and supplementation on mortality outcomes. The review included over 900,000 participants from observational studies and 30,000 participants from randomized controlled trials. The results indicate an inverse association between circulating vitamin D levels and risk of death from all causes, particularly cardiovascular disease and cancer. Vitamin D3 supplementation was also found to reduce overall mortality among older adults compared to placebo. However, the authors note that more research is still needed to determine optimal dosing strategies before widespread supplementation recommendations can be made.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in Canada, accounting for over 78,000 deaths in 1998. While mortality rates have declined, it remains unclear if incidence rates have also decreased. Women experience a 10 year delay in onset compared to men but have higher rates of hospitalization and longer hospital stays. Risk factors like hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes disproportionately impact women's cardiovascular health. Vulnerable subgroups including low-income women and some ethnic minorities experience even greater rates of cardiovascular disease.
This study examined dyslipidemia among type 2 diabetes patients in Somalia. The study found:
- 22.5% of patients had dyslipidemia, slightly lower than other African studies.
- Risk factors for dyslipidemia included female sex, insufficient physical activity, and high BMI.
- Many patients had multiple cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension and a family history of heart disease, despite a short time since diabetes diagnosis.
- Management challenges for diabetes in Somalia include lack of funding, unreliable access to medications, and inequity in healthcare access between public and private sectors. Effective prevention and treatment strategies are needed that address Somalia's unique healthcare context.

Management of Excess Weight and Obesity: A Global PerspectiveCrimsonPublishersIOD
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially, hypertension, excess weight, obesity, metabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes, and vascular diseases,
have increased rapidly in the last two decades and have reached an epidemic status worldwide. Some experts have compared this increase in the
incidence of these diseases as “tsunamis”. Tsunamis’ are seasonal and unpredictable whereas, these diseases are predictable and not seasonal. So, what
are we going to do about this situation? Are we going to sit and wait for some miracle to happen? What are the member nations of the United Nations,
World Health Organization, NCD Task Force going to do about this, besides writing and publishing scary reports of future economic and healthcare
disasters? In this overview, we would like to discuss briefly the salient findings on this topic, initiate a healthy dialogue, request suggestions, positive
comments, and offer few suggestions.
Non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease cause over 60% of deaths globally each year. The main risk factors are tobacco use, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet and harmful use of alcohol. Non-communicable diseases disproportionately affect low and middle income countries. Urgent action is needed to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce risk factors through public education and policy measures in order to address this growing global health challenge.

The effects of_the_mediterranean_diet_on_chronic_dArnon Ngoenyuang
This document summarizes the effects of the Mediterranean diet on chronic diseases. It discusses how the Mediterranean diet, characterized by high consumption of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, legumes, olive oil and fish, is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and obesity. The Mediterranean diet contains beneficial compounds like polyphenols, flavonoids, phytosterols and omega-3 fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, and have been shown to lower risk of chronic diseases through various mechanisms like reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with significant reductions in mortality, cardiovascular disease incidence and incidence of neurodegenerative diseases.

This document reviews traditional and non-traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It discusses how hypertension, diabetes, high total cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol are traditional risk factors. It also examines non-traditional markers like homocysteine, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, fibrinogen, and various inflammatory markers that may help predict cardiovascular risk. While many non-traditional markers show promise, most are not routinely used in clinical practice and their predictive value requires further confirmation.
A tremendous increase in the coexistence of diabetes and hypertension has been observed recently in India. Apart from lifestyle and genetic factors, socioeconomic status, age, gender, occupation and lack of awareness are also contributing to the tremendous increases in the prevalence of both the diseases. Hypertension has been long recognised as one of the major risk factors for chronic disease burden, morbidity and mortality in India, attributable to 10.8 of all deaths in the country. Even though microvascular complications are frequently linked to hyperglycaemia, studies have also proven the critical involvement of hypertension in the development of these co morbidities. The co occurrence of hypertension in diabetic patients considerably escalates the risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, nephropathy and retinopathy. The annual expenditure for diabetes for the Indian population was estimated to be 1541.4 billion INR 31.9 billion in 2010. The expense of diabetes care further escalates in the presence of complications or co morbidities. Generally, a diabetic patient with hypertension spent an average of 1.4 times extra than a diabetic patient without hypertension. Even though diabetes and hypertension are considered as important risk factors for cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases, the awareness about the prevention, treatment and control of these diseases remains alarmingly low in the developing countries like India. The healthcare system in India should focus on better hypertension screening and control, especially in diabetic patients, to minimise the burden of the dual epidemic.India, with one of the largest and most diverse populations of people living with diabetes, experiences significant barriers in successful diabetes care. Limitations in appropriate and timely use of insulin impede the achievement of good glycemic control. The current article aims to identify solutions to barriers in the effective use of insulin therapy viz. its efficacy and safety, impact on convenience and life style and lack of awareness and education. Therapeutic modalities, which avoid placing an undue burden on patients life style, must be built. These should incorporate patient centric paradigms of diabetes care, team based approach for life style modification and monitoring of patients adherence to therapy. To address the issues in efficacy and safety, long acting, flat profile basal insulin, which mimics physiological insulin and show fewer hypoglycemic events is needed. In addition, therapy must be linked to monitoring of blood glucose to enable effective use of insulin therapy. In conjunction, wide ranging efforts must be made to remove negative perception of insulin therapy in the community. Patient and physician targeted programs to enhance awareness in various aspects of diabetes care must be initiated across all levels of health care ensuring uniformity of information. To successfully address the challenges in facing diabetes care, partnerships

Copper nanoparticles (NPs) have various applications but also pose environmental concerns. They can act as both problem makers and problem solvers. As problem makers, copper NPs may accumulate in the environment and cause toxicity in plants and animals over the long term. However, they also show promise as problem solvers by demonstrating antibacterial properties useful for wound dressings, and potential antioxidant and antidiabetic effects. More research is still needed to fully understand the ecological effects of copper NP exposure and their long term impacts on human health before their widespread use can be considered safe.

Influence of Wall Material Composition on Microencapsulation Efficiency of Cold Pressed Pumpkin Seed Oil by Freeze-Drying by Pelin Günç Ergönül in Food Science Journal
This document summarizes a study that investigated the potential cancer-preventative properties of purple sweet potato (PSP) in a mouse model of colorectal cancer. Mice fed diets supplemented with PSP flesh, skin, or anthocyanin-rich extract showed substantial reductions in polyp numbers of approximately two-thirds or more. The supplements were found to reduce DNA damage, inhibit NF-κB activation, and reduce expression of COX2 and iNOS, suggesting PSP may prevent colon cancer through multiple mechanisms including antioxidant effects and anti-inflammatory properties. The anthocyanins in PSP appear to be the active compounds responsible for these protective effects.

This document summarizes extraction methods for bioactive compounds from green tea and reviews the anti-diabetic effects of green tea extracts. It finds that extraction factors like temperature, time, solvent and solvent-solid ratio influence extraction yields. Various extraction techniques are compared. Studies show green tea extracts lower blood glucose and insulin resistance in mice and rats, likely due to compounds like catechins. Future research on improved extraction techniques could maximize green tea's anti-diabetic activity.
This document summarizes a study on risk factors for breast cancer in women in eastern China. The study found that breast cancer patients tended to be older, have higher BMI, be postmenopausal, and have a family history of breast cancer. Cancer patients consumed fewer soy products and more milk. No association was found between red meat consumption and cancer for the overall group. However, in urban areas, less red meat consumption was linked to higher cancer risk, possibly because urban residents choose lower-fat meat and better cooking methods. The relationship between diet, lifestyle factors, and cancer is complex, and red meat consumption alone may not determine cancer risk.
Physiological Determinants of Malnutrition in Elderly_ Crimson publishersCrimsonpublishersNTNF
This document discusses physiological determinants of malnutrition in the elderly. It begins by noting changes in body composition that occur with aging, including increases in fat mass and decreases in lean muscle mass. It then examines multiple factors that can cause poor appetite and reduced food intake in older adults, such as changes in taste/smell, dental issues, poverty, and medical/psychological conditions. It also discusses how conditions like cachexia and micronutrient deficiencies can negatively impact nutritional status. Finally, it notes how acute/chronic infections can increase metabolic demands and decrease the ability to meet those demands, potentially leading to malnutrition.
