“…Studies conducted in Central Ethiopia (Fikru et al, 2009;Awoke et al, 2012) andSouthwestern Ethiopia (Ayalew et al, 2012) on the double mortality rate and epidemiology of chronic illness respectively uncovered that people from all social strata are susceptible to chronic illness. Moreover, chronic illness is highly prevalent (8.9%) in Southwestern Ethiopia and widespread in Central Ethiopia (11.5%)due to the widespread practice of chronic illness risk factors and unhealthy lifestyles as stated in past studies (Ayalew et al, 2012;Awoke et al, 2014;Tomas et al, 2015). Although, our study was institutional based and could not addressed the prevalence of the chronic illness in the population, from the qualitative study key informants, we learned that chronic illness is commonplace health problem in the study area.…”

“…Another recent endeavour on the issue of chronic illness (Tomas et al, 2015) reinforced that chronic illness is a national public health problem affecting people from all social backgrounds as a result of the widespread practice of unhealthy lifestyles, which is the risk factors of most chronic illnesses. Moreover, chronic illness is claiming 51% of death annually as reported by a study in central Ethiopia (Awoke et al, 2012).…”

The article addresses Working Integration Social Enterprises (WISE) in the Slovenian context. It is focused on the in-depth study of the WISE sector referring to some common territorial challenges of WISEs in Central Europe area, such as technological progress and economic innovation. By deploying qualitative research methods, the study presents innovative solutions and technologies that can be applied to WISEs and determines shortages, which yield for such innovative approaches

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are increasingly becoming the global cause of premature death encompassing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, respiratory diseases and diabetes mellitus. However, cardiometabolic risk factors in the general population, especially among the high-risk groups have rarely been assessed in Ethiopia. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, its components and associated factors among staff in the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI). An institutional-based cross-section study was conducted from March to June 2018 among EPHI staff members. A total of 450 study participants were involved in the study, and the World Health Organization NCD STEPS survey instrument version 3.1 was used for the assessment. The biochemical parameters were analyzed by using COBAS 6000 analyzer. Statistical package for the social science (SPSS) version 20 was used for data analysis. Both bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify associated risk factors. p value < 0.05 was considered for statistical significance. The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 27.6% and 16.7% according to IDF and NCEP criteria respectively, with males having greater prevalence than females (35.8% vs 19.4%). Central obesity, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and hypertension had a prevalence of 80.2%, 41.3%, and 23.6%, respectively. In multivariate analysis increasing age and having a higher body mass index (25–29.9) were significantly associated with metabolic syndromes. The magnitude of metabolic syndrome was relatively high among public employees. Preventive intervention measures should be designed on the modification of lifestyle, nutrition and physical activities, and early screening for early identification of cardiometabolic risks factors should be practised to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Background In Ethiopia, the incidence and prevalence of noncommunicable diseases are rising. Within the country, the magnitude of these diseases varies from region to region. However, information about factors associated with noncommunicable disease is limited in the study area. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify factors associated with noncommunicable disease among adults in Mecha district. Methods Community-based case-control study was carried out among 728 cases and 2907 controls from February1-August 30/2017. The study participants were chosen using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaire. Fasting blood glucose level was measured in the morning after 8hours of fasting. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 software was used to enter and analyze data. Crude and adjusted Odds ratios were done for each explanatory variable at 95% confidence level. Results The likelihood of developing noncommunicable disease was higher among participants who drank alcohol [AOR = 1.72, 95% CI: (1.3, 2.1)] and coffee [AOR = 4.54, 95% CI: (3.4, 5.9)], did not take vegetables [AOR = 2. 30, 95% CI: (1.6, 3.1)] and fruits [AOR = 2.04, 95% CI: (1.4, 2.9)], took packed oil [AOR = 2.35, 95% CI: (1.7, 3.1)], overweight or obesity [AOR = 2.23, 95% CI: (1.3, 3.8)] and physically inactive [AOR = 1.71, 95% CI: (1.2, 2.4)]. Conclusion Of those assessed, the main factors associated with noncommunicable disease were drinking alcohol and coffee, not taking vegetables and fruits, taking packed oil, being overweight and physically inactive. Thus, the finding suggests changing the dietary habit of the community to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, use of unsaturated fat for cooking, to avoid consumption of alcohol and to decrease taking coffee, to do physical activity and weight reduction.
