“…The results suggest that older mothers (31 and above) have a higher risk of perinatal mortality than younger mothers (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30). Furthermore, it appears that having a college education is associated with a lower risk of perinatal mortality compared to having only a primary or secondary education.…”

Background Perinatal mortality is a sensitive issue that concerns the lives of newborn babies. In Tanzania, the perinatal mortality rate is high, accounting for 38/1000 live births. Objective A study titled "Patterns, Trends, and Specific Determinants of Perinatal Mortality" was conducted at Geita Regional Referral Hospital in 2023/24. Results The study found that several factors were significantly associated with perinatal deaths, including premature complication, severe birth asphyxia, unknown factors, neonatal sepsis, and aspiration pneumonia, anemia in pregnancy, eclampsia, pre-eclampsia, and malaria in pregnancy. Recommendation: The study recommended several measures, including using Community Health Care workers and FHCWs to offer health education on focused antenatal care and safe motherhood, improving ANC clinics, providing proper and increased allocation of human resources, and allowing trained nurses or anesthetists to perform caesarian sections. Pregnant women should also be alerted about their subsequent visit/appointment. Motivations, coating folic acid tablets and combining them with antiemetics to become user-friendly, additionally, traditional medicine labs should take samples of local herbs used by pregnant mothers to detect their chemical compositions and provide advice accordingly. In conclusion Reducing perinatal mortality in the Geita region requires a multisectoral approach and more investment we can make save the lives of many newborn babies

“…1) It is located in the southern part of the city [13], with an estimated human population of 1,368,881 and an area of 787 km2 [14]. The district has 21 wards, of which 3 (Keko, Sandali, and Temeke) are prone to regular flooding [15]. The district has bimodal rains: the long rain season, which falls between February and May, and the short rain season, which falls less predictably between October and January, with an average annual rainfall of 1042 mm.…”

Schistosomiasisis a public health problem common in poor communities that causes damage to the urinary tract and intestines among people as well as stunting among young children. Little is known about the prevalence and risk factors for schistosomiasis in pre-schoolers.This study aimed to determine the spatial distribution and geographical and clinical factors associated with schistosomiasis among pre-schoolers in Temeke district. Researchers conducteda secondary data analysis to determine the spatial distribution of schistosomiasis among preschoolers, a hotspot analysis to identify hotspot areas, and visited them to observe geographical factors associated with schistosomiasis. Researchers alsoconducted key informant interviews (KI) with community members to identify risk factors for schistosomiasis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to find associations between dependent and independent variables. We analyzed 226 study participants, of whom 91 (40.27%) had a schistosomiasis infection and 135 (59.73%) had no infection. Of all, 113 (50.0%) of the participants were female, and 113 (50.0%) were male. Most participants lived within 1 km of the river. A total of 79 (34.96%) participants used river water. While 172 (76.11%) of participants used tap water for drinking, 53 (23.45%) used borehole sources for drinking water. In multivariate analysis, stunting and malnutrition were significantly associated with schistosomiasis infection. Spatial analysis identifiedclusters of schistosomiasis infectionmore in the northern part of Temeke district and fewer in the south of the district. The findings suggest a need for the establishment of a suitable control strategy for schistosomiasis in Temeke district, which will include all groups at risk, including preschoolers

“…The index score ranges from 0 to 99 and cannot be greater than 60, otherwise, that indicates a serious quality problem with the survey demographic data. In general, errors while completing the question on age may occur due to 'number preference' and 'age heaping', and several participants tend to report the last digit of their ages as 0 or 5 (27) . In this study, the Myer's blended index of the survey data was 4•49, indicating that there was no data heaping; thus, confirming the overall validity of the data collected.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the risk factors for chronic diseases and to identify the potential influencing mechanisms from the perspectives of lifestyle and dietary factors. The findings could provide updated and innovative evidence for the prevention and control of chronic diseases. Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: Shanghai, China. Participants: 1005 adults from Yangpu district of Shanghai participated in the study, and responded to questions on dietary habits, lifestyle and health status. Results: Residents suffering from chronic diseases accounted for about 34·99 % of the respondents. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, diet quality, amount of exercise and tea drinking were related to chronic diseases. Age > 60 and overeating (Diet Balance Index total score > 0) had negative additive interaction on the occurrence of chronic disease, while overexercise (Physical Activity Index > 17·1) and tea drinking had negative multiplicative interaction and negative additive interaction on the occurrence of chronic disease. Diet quality, physical activity and tea drinking were incomplete mediators of the relationship between types of medical insurance residents participating in and chronic diseases. Conclusions: The residents in Yangpu District of Shanghai have a high prevalence of chronic diseases. Strengthening access of residents to health education and interventions to prevent chronic diseases and cultivating healthy eating and exercise habits of residents are crucial. The nutritional environment of the elderly population should be considered, and the reimbursement level of different types of medical insurance should be designed reasonably to improve the accessibility of medical and health services and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
