“…There were also regional differences in the odds of ICH. Compared to the residents of Dhaka rural, the odds of ICH were higher for the residents of the Chittagong, Mymensingh, and Rangpur divisions, and the odds were lower for the Khulna division [ 34 ]. This might be due to differences in lifestyle and other factors.…”

“…The Government of Bangladesh recently adopted a multi-sectoral action plan for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases [ 35 ]. This multi-sectoral action plan aims to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases by 25% by 2025 [ 34 ]. It also aims to increase health promotion and risk reduction activities [ 34 ].…”

This study aims to find out the prevalence of the American Heart Association’s (AHA)’s cardiovascular health metrics and associated socio-demographic factors. A secondary analysis of the World Health Organization (WHO) STEPwise approach to surveillance survey 2018 (STEPS 2018) data was conducted. Ideal Cardiovascular Health (ICH) was defined as the presence of 5–7 ideal metrics as defined by the AHA. Design-adjusted multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the associated factors of ICH. In total, 5930 respondents were included in our analysis, and 43.1% of the participants had ICH. The odds of ICH decreased with age [compared to 18–29 years old individuals, 30–49 years: AOR (Adjusted Odds Ratio): 0.4; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.4–0.5; 50–69 years: AOR: 0.7; 95% CI: 0.6–0.8], and higher educational attainment (compared to those who received no formal education, being educated up to primary level: AOR:0.7; 95% CI: 0.6–0.8; being educated up to secondary level: AOR: 0.4; 95% CI: 0.4–0.5; being educated up to college and higher: AOR: 0.4; 95% CI: 0.3–0.5). Compared with female and urban residents, the odds were 30% and 40% less among male and rural residents, respectively. The public health promotion programs of Bangladesh should raise awareness among high-risk groups to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

“…The high prevalence of hypertension among the elderly in coastal areas becomes a public health issue. Hypertension among the elderly can be caused by various factors including poor eating patterns and consuming too much salt, especially for the elderly who live in the coastal areas [3], [4]. Poor eating patterns are affected by the knowledge about diet intake which causes hypertension [1], [5], [6].…”

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease which frequently occurs in the elderly. This study aimed to assess hypertension and knowledge as well as hypertension and eating patterns among elderly in the coastal areas. The design of this study is cross-sectional study. The population in this study were elderly with hypertension who lived in the Sukolilo Health Center area in Bangkalan. The sample was selected using simple random sampling of 110 elderlies. The inclusion criteria were elderly who were aged ≥60 years old with systolic blood pressure (SBP) of >140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of >90 mmHg. The instrument was food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The blood pressure was measured by using standard operating procedures. The data were analyzed by the Spearman’s rank test. The results indicated that most of the respondents were lack of knowledge of 66 people (29.1%) and had a poor eating pattern of 78 people (70.9%). Most of the respondents were in the moderate hypertension of 52 people (47.3%). The statistical analysis indicated a relationship between knowledge and the incidence of hypertension of p=0.004 (p<0.05; r=0.974). In conclusion, understanding about blood pressure control is required to prevent hypertension.

“…For many years, mineral-rich waters, defined as TDS exceeding the threshold of 1500 mg/L [ 6 ], have been considered more harmful than beneficial for human health [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. For example, naturally saline waters, or those that became hypersaline as a result of seawater infiltration into the ground, were often blamed for increasing blood pressure in the consumers [ 10 , 11 , 12 ], thus raising their background cardiovascular risk [ 13 ]. More specifically, sodium content in water was considered deleterious for its potential to induce blood hypertension, although chloride concentration may contribute as well [ 8 , 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

Water Quality and Mortality from Coronary Artery Disease in Sardinia: A Geospatial Analysis

et al. 2021

The role of water hardness on human health is still debated, ranging from beneficial to harmful. Before the rise of drinking bottled water, it was a common habit to obtain supplies of drinking water directly from spring-fed public fountains. According to the geographic location, spring waters are characterized by a variable content of mineral components. In this ecological study, for the first time in Sardinia, Italy, the spatial association between spring water quality/composition and standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for coronary artery disease (CAD) in the decade from 1981 to 1991 was investigated using data retrieved from published databases. In a total of 377 municipalities, 9918 deaths due to CAD, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), ICD-9 code 410, and ischemic heart disease (IHD), ICD-9 code 411–414, were retrieved. A conditional autoregressive model with spatially structured random effects for each municipality was used. The average SMR for CAD in municipalities with a predominantly “soft” (<30 mg/L) or “hard” (≥30 mg/L) water was, respectively, 121.4 ± 59.1 vs. 104.7 ± 38.2 (p = 0.025). More specifically, an inverse association was found between elevated calcium content in spring water and cardiovascular mortality (AMI: r = −0.123, p = 0.032; IHD: r = −0.146, p = 0.009) and borderline significance for magnesium (AMI: r = −0.131, p = 0.054; IHD: r = −0.138, p = 0.074) and bicarbonate (IHD: r = −0.126, p = 0.058), whereas weak positive correlations were detected for sodium and chloride. The lowest CAD mortality was observed in geographic areas (North-West: SMR 0.92; South-East: SMR 0.88), where calcium- and bicarbonate-rich mineral waters were consumed. Our results, within the limitation of an ecological study, confirm the beneficial role of waters with high content in calcium and bicarbonate against coronary artery disease.
