Kumar Roy T, Rahman M, Rahman MS, Halder N, Rashid MM. Is gender a factor in socioeconomic disparities in undiagnosed, and untreated hypertension in Bangladesh? J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich) 2024; 26:964-976. [PMID: 38953454 PMCID: PMC11301445 DOI: 10.1111/jch.14858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
Our objectives were to ascertain the following: (1) the prevalence and socioeconomic distribution of hypertension (HTN), undiagnosed for HTN, and untreated cases of HTN-diagnosed individuals; (2) the relationship between SES and the prevalence of HTN, undiagnosed for HTN, and untreated for HTN; and (3) whether sex moderate this association. Data from the 2017-18 Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey were used. 11,776 participants who were 18 years of age or older responded to our analysis. The age-adjusted prevalence of HTN, undiagnosed for HTN, and untreated cases was 25.1%, 57.2%, and 12.3%. Compared to females, males were less likely to have HTN but more likely to have undiagnosed HTN. People in the rich SES groups had a higher odd of (adjusted odds ratio [aoR] 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-3.45) of having HTN compared to those in the poor SES group. When compared to individuals in the poor SES group, those in the rich SES group had lower odds of undiagnosed (aoR 0.57; 95% CI 0.44-0.74) and untreated (aoR 0.56; 95% CI 0.31-0.98) for HTN. Sex moderated the association between SES and HTN prevalence, which showed that men from rich SES were more likely to suffer from HTN than men from poor SES. According to this study, the government and other pertinent stakeholders should concentrate more on developing suitable policy measures to reduce the risk of HTN, particularly for men in rich socioeconomic groups. They should also concentrate on screening and diagnosing HTN in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, regardless of sex.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardio-cerebrovascular disease is the major cause of work-related deaths. Salutogenesis indicates individual differences in health levels occur owing to differences in the sense of coherence (SOC). A salutogenesis-based intervention may promote cardio-cerebrovascular health at work. This study examined the effects of a SOC promotion program based on salutogenesis. DESIGN Quasi-experimental study. SAMPLE Fifty-six office workers who were above the "low risk" of cardio-cerebrovascular disease from two workplaces were included in the final analysis. MEASUREMENTS Data collected pre- and postintervention. To determine the intervention's effectiveness, repeated-measures analysis of variance was used. INTERVENTION The intervention group was provided with the SOC promotion program, whereas the control group was provided with educational materials alone for 12 weeks. RESULTS Generalized resistance resources (GRRs; knowledge of cardio-cerebrovascular disease prevention, stress-coping strategies, and social support) and SOC significantly improved in the intervention group. The intervention group showed significant improvements in occupational stress, physical activity, dietary behavior, total cholesterol level, fasting glucose level, hemoglobin A1C level, body mass index, waist circumference, diastolic and systolic blood pressure, and cardio-cerebrovascular risk. CONCLUSIONS Systematic salutogenesis-based SOC promotion programs should be established to enhance the cardio-cerebrovascular health of office workers at-risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. TRIAL REGISTRATION Trial Registration Number is KCT0007029. The date of registration is February 23, 2022.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1283132. [PMID: 38420264 PMCID: PMC10899466 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1283132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Gender disparities in mortality have drawn great interest, with previous studies identifying various biological, social, and behavioral factors contributing to the observed gender differences. This study aims to identify the sources of gender disparities in mortality rates and quantify the extent to which these factors mediate the gender differences in all-cause mortality. Methods Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2005 and 2018 were analyzed. A total of 38,924 participants were included in the study. Gender information, socioeconomic status, lifestyle factors, and baseline disease status were obtained through questionnaires. Blood samples were collected to assess serological indicators. All-cause and cardiovascular mortality were considered as primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. Results The study with an average age of 50.1 ± 17.9 years. Among the participants, 50.7% were women, and 41.8% were non-Hispanic White. The median follow-up length was 87 months [Inter-Quartile Range (IQR): 47-128]. Men showed higher rates of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality compared to women in both the general population and the population with cardiovascular disease. After adjustment for potential confounders (age, race, marital status, socioeconomic status, lifestyle level, smoking status, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes and cancer), the men: women hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were 1.58 [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.48-1.68] and 1.60 (95%CI:1.43-1.80) in the general population. Among individuals with cardiovascular disease, the fully adjusted HR for all-cause mortality was 1.34 (95% CI: 1.20 to 1.51), and for cardiovascular mortality, the fully adjusted HRs was 1.52 (95% CI: 1.26 to 1.83). Mediation analysis revealed that uric acid levels significantly mediated the association between gender and all-cause mortality, accounting for 17.53% (95% CI: 11.0% to 23.7%) in the general population and 27.47% (95% CI: 9.0% to 13.6%) in the population with cardiovascular disease. Conclusions The study highlights the complex interplay of biological and social factors contributing to gender disparities in mortality. Uric acid was identified as key mediators of the gender-mortality association. These findings can inform targeted interventions aimed at reducing gender disparities in mortality and promoting better public health outcomes.

Abstract
Aims This study aimed to construct a model that describes heart health behaviors in middle-aged working women and verify the goodness-of-fit of the model based on Salutogenesis. Methods and results This study adopted a cross-sectional design. Participants were 330 middle-aged working women in South Korea. Data were analyzed using structural equation modelling with Sobel's Z test. In the multiple mediation model, stress coping strategy (β = 0.26; p < 0.001), social support (β = 0.41; p < 0.001), and health self-efficacy (β = 0.36; p < 0.001) had significant direct effects on sense of coherence (SOC). SOC had a significant direct effect on occupational (β = -0.72; p < 0.001) and family stress (β = -0.76; p < 0.001). Additionally, SOC (β = 0.67; p < 0.001), occupational stress (β = -0.46; p < 0.001), and family stress (β = -0.28; p < 0.001) had significant direct effects on heart health behaviors. Moreover, SOC had a significantly partial mediating effect on heart health behaviors through occupational stress (Z = 3.17; p = 0.002) and family stress (Z = 2.26; p = 0.024). Conclusion Occupational and family stress mediated the relationship between SOC and heart health behaviors in middle-aged working women. Clinical evidence Interventions that mitigate occupational and family stress may improve heart health behaviors among middle-aged working women.

Sex differences in the association between socioeconomic status and untreated hypertension among residents with hypertension in rural Khánh Hòa, Vietnam: a post-hoc analysis. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:61. [PMID: 38245673 PMCID: PMC10799502 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03706-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have examined the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and the proportion of untreated hypertension, but have produced conflicting findings. In addition, no study has been conducted to determine sex differences in the association between SES and untreated hypertension. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine whether the associations between SES and the proportion of untreated hypertension differed by sex in Vietnam. METHODS This study was conducted using the data of 1189 individuals (558 males and 631 females) who were judged to have hypertension during the baseline survey of a prospective cohort study of 3000 residents aged 40-60 years in the Khánh Hòa Province. A multilevel Poisson regression model with a robust variance estimator was used to examine whether sex and SES indicators (household income and educational attainment) interacted in relation to untreated hypertension. RESULTS The proportion of untreated hypertension among individuals identified as hypertensive was 69.1%. We found significant interaction between sex and SES indicators in relation to untreated hypertension (education: p < 0.001; household income: p < 0.001). Specifically, the association between SES and untreated hypertension was inverse among males while it was rather positive among females. CONCLUSIONS Our finding suggests that the role of SES in the proportion of untreated hypertension might differ by sex.

Abstract
Medical science-related studies have reinforced that the prevalence of coronary heart disease which is associated with the heart and blood vessels has been the most significant cause of health loss and death globally. Recently, data mining and machine learning have been used to detect diseases based on the unique characteristics of a person. However, these techniques have often posed challenges due to the complexity in understanding the objective of the datasets, the existence of too many factors to analyze as well as lack of performance accuracy. This research work is of two-fold effort: firstly, feature extraction and selection. This entails extraction of the principal components, and consequently, the Correlation-based Feature Selection (CFS) method was applied to select the finest principal components of the combined (Cleveland and Statlog) heart dataset. Secondly, by applying datasets to three single and three ensemble classifiers, the best hyperparameters that reflect the pre-eminent predictive outcomes were investigated. The experimental result reveals that hyperparameter optimization has improved the accuracy of all the models. In the comparative studies, the proposed work outperformed related works with an accuracy of 97.91%, and an AUC of 0.996 by employing six optimal principal components selected from the CFS method and optimizing parameters of the Rotation Forest ensemble classifier.

Abstract
We put forward a validation of the first instrument to measure the big four health risk behaviours (World Health Organization, Global status report on non-communicable diseases 2014, WHO, 2014) in a single assessment, the Health Risk Behaviour Inventory (HRBI) that assesses physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, smoking and alcohol in Italian- and English-speaking samples. Further, we investigate the instrument's association with self-regulatory dispositions, exploring culture and gender differences in Italian and US subgroup samples. Overall, 304 English- and 939 Italian-speaking participants completed the HRBI and the self-regulatory questionnaire. We explored the factorial structure, convergent validity, invariance and association with self-regulatory dispositions using structural equation modelling.The HRBI has a robust factorial structure; it usefully converges with widely used healthy lifestyle measures, and it is invariant across the categories of age, gender and languages. Regarding self-regulatory dispositions, the promotion focus emerges as the most protective factor over physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, smoking and alcohol, whereas the prevention focus is associated mainly with smoking and alcohol reduction. Results are consistent across genders and US subgroup-Italian samples. The HRBI is a valid instrument for assessing the big four health risk behaviours in clinic and research contexts, and among self-regulatory measures, the promotion and prevention foci have the greatest efficacy in eliciting positive health behaviours.

Abstract
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that represents a great burden on public health systems due to its increased prevalence, disability and mortality rates. There are multiple triggers that can induce or aggravate a preexisting HF, socioeconomic status (SES) emerging as one of the most common modifiable risk factors. Our study aimed to analyze the influence of certain SES indicators on the outcome, clinical aspects and laboratory parameters of patients with HF in North-Eastern Romania, as well as their relationship with other traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: We conducted a prospective, single-center study comprising 120 consecutively enrolled patients admitted for acute HF. The evaluation of individual SES was based upon a standard questionnaire and evidence from official documents. Results: the patients’ age ranged between 18 and 94 years; Out of 120 patients, 49 (40.8%) were women and 71 (59.2%) were men, residing in rural 59 (49.2%) or urban 61 (50.8%) areas. 14.2% were university graduates, while 15.8% had only attended primary school. The majority of the patients are or were employed in the service sector (54.5%), followed by industry (29.2%) and agriculture (20%). The mean monthly income was 306.1 ± 177.4 euro, while the mean hospitalization cost was 2471.8 ± 2073.8 euro per patient. The individual income level was positively correlated with urban area of residence, adequate household sanitation facilities and healthcare access, and negatively associated with advanced age and previous hospitalizations due to HF. However, the individual financial situation was also positively correlated with the increased prevalence of certain cardiovascular risk factors, such as arterial hypertension, anemia or obesity, but not with total cholesterol or male gender. Concerning the direct impact of a poor economic status upon prognosis in the setting of acute HF, our results showed no statistically significant differences concerning the in-hospital or at 1-month follow-up mortality rates. Rather than inducing a direct impact on the short-term outcome, these findings concerning SES indicators are meant to enhance the implementation of policies aimed to provide adequate healthcare for people from all social layers, with a primary focus on modifiable cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inconsistent association between depression and hypertension has been highlighted. The association of depression with blood pressure (BP) might depend upon socioeconomic status (SES), but evidence remains weak. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine how the associations between depressive symptoms and BP levels and hypertension and then, according to SES variables (education, income, occupational status). METHODS Among 66,478 volunteers of the French CONSTANCES cohort (31,093 men; mean age (standard deviation): 47.8 (12.9) years), depressive symptoms were assessed with the Center of Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D). Overall associations between depressive symptoms and BP and hypertension were estimated using regressions and by stratifying on SES. RESULTS SES were associated with BP in both genders. CES-D score was negatively associated with systolic BP (SBP) in women (b=-0.62 95%CI [-1.03; -0.21] and in men (b=-1.03 95%CI [-1.45; -0.61]) but not with diastolic BP (DBP) in both genders. In women, the decrease in SBP and DBP was more pronounced as educational level increases (p for interaction: 0.012 and 0.013, respectively). In men, few interactions were observed between CES-D score and SES factors for BP levels. The association between CES-D score and hypertension was significant for men, OR=0.86, 95%CI [0.80; 0.93] but not for women, OR=1.03, 95%CI [0.96; 1.10]. No interactions were observed between CES-D score and SES for hypertension. CONCLUSION Gender differences were observed for considering depressive symptoms according to SES factors for BP variation and hypertension. In women, educational level was the SES factor which has the main modifying effect on this association.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Health behaviour is one of the major determinants of cardiovascular diseases in working population. This study was tried to investigate the trend of cardiovascular health level, the relationship between continuous health behaviours, and changes in the risk of cardiovascular diseases of male workers by using a nationwide database. DESIGN This study is a retrospective cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS The study analysed data of 57 837 male workers whose personal health examination data were continuously traced using Korea's National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort 2.0 database. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES A 10-year trend for all cardiovascular risks and change for the risks according to the consistent performance of healthy behaviours. RESULTS The results showed that the risk of being overweight (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.63, 95% CI 1.59 to 1.68) and obese (aOR 1.51, 95% CI 1.47 to 1.56) increased. The index of cardiovascular risk also increased for high fasting glucose (aOR 1.77, 95% CI 1.62 to 1.95) and high total cholesterol (aOR 1.68, 95% CI 1.60 to 1.76), respectively. The risks of high fasting glucose (aOR 2.09, 95% CI 1.40 to 3.13), high triglycerides (aOR 1.27, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.42) and high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (aOR 1.38, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.66) were increased among high-risk smokers. Similarly, the risk of high total cholesterol (aOR 2.20, 95% CI 1.35 to 3.58) and high triglycerides (aOR 1.42, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.85) were increased among high-risk drinkers. In addition, the increase in the risk of being overweight (aOR 2.20, 95% CI 1.83 to 2.65) and obese (aOR 1.90, 95% CI 1.59 to 2.27) were analysed among who had not consistently exercised. CONCLUSIONS Since the pattern of change in the level of cardiovascular risk related to the continuous health behaviours of male workers was identified, the findings of the present study can be used as basic data to develop health promotion policies for the population.

Nam GE, Kim YH, Han K, Jung JH, Rhee EJ, Lee SS, Kim DJ, Lee KW, Lee WY. Obesity Fact Sheet in Korea, 2019: Prevalence of Obesity and Abdominal Obesity from 2009 to 2018 and Social Factors. J Obes Metab Syndr 2020; 29:124-132. [PMID: 32581145 PMCID: PMC7338491 DOI: 10.7570/jomes20058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 71] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2020] [Revised: 06/13/2020] [Accepted: 06/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The prevalence of obesity has rapidly increased in countries across the world in recent decades. The 2019 Obesity Fact Sheet released by the Korean Society for the Study of Obesity addressed the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity during the period of 2009 to 2018 and obesity-related social factors. Methods Data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service health checkup database between 2009 and 2018 and the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2010 and 2017 were analyzed. The prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity was calculated after standardizing for age and sex based on the 2010 population and housing census. Results From 2009 to 2018, the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity increased to 35.7% and 23.8%, respectively, in 2018. Upward trends in the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity was observed among both sexes and nearly all age groups. The prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity was higher among individuals with lower education and household income levels. Among occupations, managers exhibited the highest prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity. Further, the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity became higher among individuals working longer hours and split and night shift workers. Conclusion The 2019 Obesity Fact Sheet provides information on changes in obesity dynamics during the past decade and obesity-related social factors in the Korean adult population. This report might constitute a cornerstone by which to establish targets for future interventions for reversing the rise in the prevalence of obesity and reducing the burden of obesity in Korea.
