“…With a strong correlation between smoking habit and the incidence of hypertension (32), companies or industries need to provide a special smoking room to avoid smokes circulated outside to non-smoking workers (33). Workers with smoking habits should be given education about the dangers of smoking and the importance of healthy lifestyle to prevent hypertension (34−35).…”

Introduction: Hypertension is a manifestation of hemodynamic imbalances resulting in various cardiovascular complications and others in the body systems. The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesian adults aged 18 years was 34.1%, and it increased by 8.3%. Globally, it accounts for about 60% of deaths. This study aimed to analyze risk factors for hypertension in industrial workers. Methods: This study used a meta-analysis, a statistical method that combines previous studies to find an effect size value or summary on JASP software. Data in this study came from database online and were sorted according to the inclusion-exclusion criteria following PRISMA. In the final step, 14 research articles were collected. Results and Discussion: Noise intensity had a 1.974 times greater risk on the prevalence of hypertension in industrial workers; work period had 2.316 times greater risk; duration of exposure gave a 1.716 times greater risk; and smoking had a 1.896 times greater risk. Conclusion: The highest risks for the incidence of hypertension in industrial workers come from period of work, noise intensity, and smoking habits; while, the lowest is in the length of exposure

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is widely spread in South Asian (ASEAN) and Indian sub-continent. The increasing healthcare costs of DM can be prevented in the developing world by improved public healthcare interventions. Modifiable risk factors of DM like sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and stressful conditions are associated with its progression; however, the epidemiological data collected by Public Institutions are limited. Summary: A review of published literature describing geographic distribution of DM and associated dementia in South Asian region, particularly India, was conducted with the purpose of assessing the feasibility and challenges associated with the Yoga-based risk reduction. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched for DM and dementia-related articles by using a combination of keywords: Diabetes, Diabetes related Dementia Southeast Asia, Pre-diabetes, Yoga, lifestyle modification, Dementia and Exercise. The epidemiological data generated from these diseases have not prompted to any major public health policies. Yoga can be a cost-effective intervention for the prevention of Type 2 DM (T2DM) and its associated cognitive decline when detected early. If nationwide intervention of Yoga is brought about by the state, its integration in health care will become more meaningful and acceptable. Key Message: Studies suggest that Yoga and change in lifestyle can modify the health risks associated with T2DM and associated dementia if it is mainstreamed with the public health initiative of Ayushman Bharat scheme.
