“…The study was designed based on the first-phase data from the semiexperimental intervention study the Eskisehir Healthy Hearts Project (EHHP). EHHP has been designed as both a community-based intervention and a research study [11]. It was described according to the STROBE statement (https://www.…”

“…Data were extracted from an intervention study, which is done in two phases between January 2008 and October 2009, of which study samples were from people in several semirural settlement areas in Eskisehir, which is located in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey. The number of people aged 20 to 69 in the intervention group was 2.376 and the number in the control group was 4.681 [11].…”

Biomarker for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are important in the clinical monitoring of individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS). The use of these biomarkers in combination may be predictive of CVDs. This study aimed to demonstrate the ability of multiple biomarkers to predict MetS, diabetes mellitus (DM), and CVDs. The use of multiple biomarkers instead of a single biomarker may be more useful in early diagnosis. We investigated the use of a multi-biomarker approach in MetS and associated diseases. Methods:The study was performed by selecting control (n=30), MetS (n=30), MetS+DM (n=30), and MetS+CVD (n=30) groups from data of the Eskisehir Healthy Hearts Project conducted from January 2008 to October 2009 in Turkey. We recorded serum level of biomarkers, including lipid profile, liver enzyme, paraoxonase, arylesterase and arginase to find their difference among the groups. Results: Compared to the control group, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and arginase levels increased, while paraoxonase and arylesterase activity and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were low in the patient groups (P<0.001). A negative correlation was observed between paraoxonase and arylesterase activity and MetS. Conclusion:We believe that the combined use of biomarkers, including GGT, arginase, paraoxonase, and arylesterase, may be useful in predicting diseases such as MetS and CVDs.

Identifying contexts and mechanisms in multiple behavior change interventions affecting smoking cessation success: a rapid realist review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Smoking continues to be a leading cause of preventable chronic disease-related morbidity and mortality, excess healthcare expenditure, and lost work productivity. Tobacco users are disproportionately more likely to be engaging in other modifiable risk behaviours such as excess alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and poor diet. While hundreds of interventions addressing the clustering of smoking and other modifiable risk behaviours have been conducted worldwide, there is insufficient information available about the context and mechanisms in these interventions that promote successful smoking cessation. The aim of this rapid realist review was to identify possible contexts and mechanisms used in multiple health behaviour change interventions (targeting tobacco and two or more additional risk behaviours) that are associated with improving smoking cessation outcome. Methods: This realist review method incorporated the following steps: (1) clarifying the scope, (2) searching for relevant evidence, (3) relevance confirmation, data extraction, and quality assessment, (4) data analysis and synthesis. Results: Of the 20,423 articles screened, 138 articles were included in this realist review. Following Michie et al.'s behavior change model (the COMB model), capability, opportunity, and motivation were used to identify the mechanisms of behaviour change. Universally, increasing opportunities (i.e. factors that lie outside the individual that prompt the behaviour or make it possible) for participants to engage in healthy behaviours was associated with smoking cessation success. However, increasing participant's capability or motivation to make a behaviour change was only successful within certain contexts.
