“…Furthermore, WHO compiled a list of health interventions to assist countries with implementation strategies to achieve the nine global targets for NCD as well as SDG 3.4 targets 12. However, a recent evaluation of the WHO extended NCD-GAP 2013–2030 showed that the implementation of NCD-GAP research objectives had been very slow 13 14.

Measurement of and training for NCD guideline implementation in LMICs: a scoping review protocol

IntroductionGlobally, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality with an estimated 41 million deaths (74% of all global deaths) annually. Despite the WHO’s Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCDs since 2013, progress on implementation of the guidelines has been slow. Although research has shown success of some NCD prevention and treatment interventions, there is a dearth of research on NCD care delivery approaches, cost-effectiveness and larger implementation research, especially in low/middle-income countries (LMICs). The objective of this scoping review is to identify the existing variation in how, why and by whom implementation of NCD guidelines is measured as part of implementation research or non-research programme improvement.Methods and analysisUsing the methods established by Arksey and O’Malley, the search strategy was developed in consultation with a research librarian together with stakeholder feedback from content experts. We will apply the search to multiple electronic databases and grey literature sources. Two reviewers will independently screen title and abstract for inclusion followed by a full-text screening and all included records will be abstracted using a standardised tool that will be piloted with a sample of articles before application to all records. We will conduct a narrative synthesis of abstracted data and simple quantitative descriptive statistics.DisseminationThe results will enable stakeholders in LMICs to leverage existing tools and resources for implementation and ongoing evaluation of NCD guidelines, to improve education and capacity building, and ultimately NCD care across the lifespan.

“…The aging population has led to a growing concern for cognitive decline and dementia, with the World Health Organization (WHO) projecting a 141 million of affected people by 2050 [2,3]. While dementia shares common behavioural risk factors with other NCDs, such as physical activity (PA), diet, sleep, and mental health, relatively little is known about the relationship between sleep and dementia [4]. Sleep plays a fundamental role in human physiology and is closely linked to numerous aspects of cognitive and physical wellbeing [5].…”

ObjectivesTo evaluate the associations of device-measured sleep duration and regularity with incident dementia, and to explore whether regular sleep might mitigate any association of sleep duration with dementia.MethodsThis population-based prospective cohort study of 82391 adults from the UK Biobank accelerometry subsample included adults aged 43 to 79 years old in England, Scotland, and Wales. Sleep duration (h/day) and Sleep Regularity Index (SRI, range 0-100) were calculated from the wrist-worn accelerometry data collected by participants over the course of one week. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and assess the independent associations between sleep and incident dementia after adjustment for common demographic and contextual covariates.ResultsOver a mean follow-up of 7.9 years, during which 694 incident dementia cases occurred, there was a U-shaped association between sleep duration and incident dementia. Short sleep (<7 h) was associated with increased dementia risk, while long sleep (≥ 8h) was not significantly associated with dementia risk. The median sleep duration for short sleepers (<7 h) of 6.5 hours was associated with an HR of 1.19 (95% CI 1.01, 1.40) for incident dementia. Sleep regularity was negatively associated with dementia risk in a near-linear fashion. The sample median SRI of approximately 73, compared to the reference point of 51, was associated with an HR of 0.76 (95%CI 0.61, 0.94). The SRI value where the risk reduction was 50% of the maximum observed of 66, was associated with an HR of 0.77 (95%CI 0.63, 0.95). Among individuals with sleep duration outside the optimal range (too short or too long), less regular sleep was associated with increased risk of dementia. Among those with optimal sleep duration (7-8h/day), there was no significant association between sleep regularity and dementia risk. Compared to the reference point (SRI: 51), an SRI value of 62 for non-optimal sleepers was associated with a 25% reduction in risk for dementia (HR: 0.75; 95% CI 0.63, 0.90).ConclusionsA regular sleep pattern may mitigate some adverse effects of inadequate sleep duration, suggesting that interventions aimed at improving sleep regularity may be a suitable option for people not able to achieve the recommended hours of sleep.

“…Previous research has demonstrated that MetS increases the risk of coronary heart disease, renal failure, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke (1,2). Therefore, the prime focus of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Non-communicable Disease (NDC) Action Plan and Sustainable Development Goal 4 is to reduce NCD-related deaths by 25 percent in 2025 and by 30 percent in 2030 (3).…”

Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a set of symptoms, including insulin resistance, high blood sugar, and abdominal obesity, that increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. This syndrome is prevalent in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), comprising patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study evaluated the prognosis of AMI patients who underwent primary PCI in two groups with and without MetS. Methods This retrospective study was performed on ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients referred to the emergency department of Tehran Heart Center from 2012 to 2020 who underwent primary PCI. Patients were divided into MetS and non-MetS according to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. Clinical and laboratory characteristics were compared between the two groups. Results 3103 patients were included, and 2144 patients (69%) had MetS. The mean age of both groups was approximately 62 years. In both groups, the majority were men. Sixty-six in-hospital deaths occurred, with no significant difference regarding the presence of MetS. One hundred fifty-two deaths happened during the one-year follow-up, without a significant difference between the two groups. Four hundred twenty-one MACE were observed in one year, which was not significantly different between patients with and without MetS. Analysis of patients with a BMI less than 25 kg/m2 revealed significantly higher MACE in MetS compared to the non-MetS group. Conclusion In-hospital mortality, one-year death, and one-year MACE were not associated with MetS in this study.
