“…Few working-age women meet current MVPA recommendations, an alarming number of women experience risk factors for CVD, and over half of women lack knowledge of CVD risk factors, including their own level of risk. 3 We examined the effectiveness of workplace interventions targeting MVPA levels and the impact of these interventions on many known beneficial cardiometabolic health sequelae of PA. A large proportion of the studies included in this review were RCTs. We acknowledge a high risk of bias associated with these RCTs and recognize that other study designs may provide information that adds to the existing knowledge of workplace interventions addressing MVPA.…”

C ardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among women in high-income countries defined as those with a gross national income per capita of $12 476 or more (ie, Canada, United States, Finland, Italy, etc.) and is projected to be the leading cause of death worldwide by 2030. 1,2 Ironically, over half of women lack knowledge of CVD risk factors; the majority (80%) are uninformed when it comes to their own level of risk.3 An alarming number of working-age women in high-income countries are overweight or obese and possess other risk factors for CVD (eg, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes mellitus). [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Physical activity (PA) is protective for CVD. Regular PA has been shown to prevent CVD, overweight and obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, certain cancers, and premature death.14-17 Current guidelines recommend that adults accumulate at least 150 min/wk of moderate-intensity aerobic PA or at least 75 min/wk of vigorous-intensity aerobic PA or an equivalent combination of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity Background-Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women in high-income Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries. Physical activity is protective for cardiovascular disease. The realities of modern life require working-age women to address work-related, family, and social demands. Few working-age women meet current moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) recommendations. Given that working-age women spend a substantial proportion of their waking hours at work, places of employment may be an opportune and a controlled setting to implement programs, improving MVPA levels and enhancing cardiometabolic health. Methods and Results-Eight electronic databases were searched to identify all prospective cohort and experimental studies reporting an MVPA outcome of workplace interventions for working-age women (mean age, 18-65 years) in high-income Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool; quality of the evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. A qualitative synthesis was performed for all studies, and meta-analyses were conducted where possible. Twenty-four studies met the inclusion criteria; 20 studies were included in the meta-analyses. Workplace interventions significantly increased minutes per week of metabolic equivalents (4 studies; standardized mean differences, 2.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44 to 2.69), but not minutes per week of MVPA (13 studies; standardized mean differences, 0.38; 95% CI, −0.15 to 0.92) or metabolic equivalents per week (3 studies; standardized mean differences, 0.11; 95% CI, −0.48 to 0.71). Workplace interventions also significantly decreased body mass (7 studies; mean differences, −0.83 kg; 95% CI, −1.64 to −0.02), body mass index (6 studies; mean differences, −0.35 kg/m 2 ; 95% CI, −0.62...

“…1 Similar gaps have been demonstrated in a Canadian population. 2 However, studies have demonstrated that this is an issue applicable to both sexes, with >75% of both men and women in one study failing to recognize atypical symptoms of ischemia as potentially cardiac in nature. 3 Knowledge of stroke warning symptoms seems to be similarly limited in both women and men, with 50% to 75% of individuals unaware of important warning symptoms for this condition.…”

“…The manifestation of the decline in function is a decrease in thinking ability. The decline in thinking ability has an impact on the ability of respondents to understand the health information they obtain (McDonnell et al, 2014;Ghani, 2016). The results of this study showed no significant effect between the attitude of respondents to the incidence of hypertension complications with p-value 0.998 or α> 0.05.…”

ABSTRACT Various efforts of hypertension complications prevention have been carried out properly but the prevalence of hypertensive complications in NTT Province is still very high. The study aimed to determine the effect of patient behavior and family health companion role on the incidence of hypertension complications. The study was carried out in the work area of Sikumana Health Center in Kupang City with a case-control design. A total of 40 case samples and 40 control samples were taken by simple-random sampling. Data were analyzed by bivariate (simple logistic-regression) and multivariate (multiple-logistic regression), with significant values of α <0.05 and OR> 1. The results showed that 70% of patients experienced Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke (SNH) complications and 30% experienced complications of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The results of the knowledge factor analysis (α=0.000, OR=4.775), attitude (α=0.998, OR=1.876), practice (α=0.000, OR=18.599), family health officer (α=0.000, OR=15.13) and simultaneously the practices of the patient (α=0.000, OR=17.233). There was a significant influence on patient knowledge, patient practices, and family health companion role on the incidence of hypertensive complications. The most influential variable was the patient's practices. Patients who had poor behavior had a risk of 17.233 times greater of complications of hypertension. Keywords : behavior of patients, family health companion role, complications of hypertension ABSTRAK Beragam upaya untuk mencegah komplikasi hipertensi, telah dilaksanakan dengan baik. Namun prevalensi komplikasi hipertensi di NTT masih sangat tinggi. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perilaku pasien dan peran pendamping kesehatan keluarga pada kejadian komplikasi hipertensi. Penelitian dilakukan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sikumana Kota Kupang dengan desain kasus-kontrol. Sebanyak 40 sampel kasus dan 40 sampel kontrol, diambil secara simple-random-sampling. Data dianalisis bivariat (regresi-logistic-sederhana) dan multivairiat (regresi-logistic-berganda), dengan nilai signifikan α<0,05 dan OR>1. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 70% pasien mengalami komplikasi Stroke Non Haemoragik (SNH) dan 30% mengalami komplikasi Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD). Hasil analisis faktor pengetahuan (α=0,000, OR=4,775), sikap (α=0,998, OR=1876), tindakan (α=0,000, OR=18,599), peran pendamping kesehatan keluarga (α=0,000, OR=15,13), dan secara simultan tindakan pasien (α=0,000, OR=17,233). Ada pengaruh signifikan antara pengetahuan pasien, praktek/tindakan pasien, dan peran pendamping kesehatan keluarga terhadap kejadian komplikasi hipertensi. Variabel yang paling berpengaruh adalah praktek/tindakan pasien. Pasien yang memiliki praktek/tindakan kurang baik memiliki risiko 17,233 kali lebih besar terjadi komplikasi hipertensi. Kata Kunci : perilaku pasien, peran pendamping kesehatan keluarga, komplikasi hipertensi
