Read More CONTEXT: India experienced pandemic phase of H1N1 in May 2009 to December 2010. Thepostpandemic phase went on from January 2011 to December 2014. As per the WHO, all countriesshould immunize their health‑care workers as a first priority to protect the essential health infrastructure.AIMS: The aim of the study is to assess the level of awareness and acceptance of influenza vaccineamong physicians and also the perception of physicians regarding H1N1 infection. This study alsoexamined time of vaccine administration in relation with efficacy concerns based on literature.SETTINGS AND DESIGN: A vaccination campaign was conducted for all health‑care workers ofSeth GSMC and KEM Hospital, Mumbai, in the month of July 2017 based on which a cross‑sectionalobservational study was conducted among the physicians of the same institute.METHODS: After ethical clearance, a prevalidated pretested survey based on a pilot survey of 20physicians was distributed among physicians, which was based on the awareness and acceptance ofH1N1 vaccination among physicians and perception of H1N1 infection. Effective sample size was 272.STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Descriptive statistics and Chi‑square test were generated forthe survey responses. All the continuous variables were reported as mean, median, and range.Categorical variables were reported as tables and pie charts. P < 0.05 was taken as significant. Dataanalysis was done with SPSS version 21.RESULTS: The overall vaccine compliance was 29.8%. This study has found that area of work,deficiency in knowledge about adverse effect of vaccine, misconceptions regarding vaccine, andconcerns about efficacy and duration of vaccine are the important factors which lead to decreasedvaccine compliance. Furthermore, it is found during the study that timing of vaccination was not givendue importance as considering the epidemiological pattern.CONCLUSIONS: More emphasis should be given to education sessions and counseling of physiciansregarding H1N1 vaccination and oseltamivir therapy. At administrative level, more focus should begiven on timing of vaccination and other logistics. Vaccine campaigns should be conducted ideally1 month before expected rise in cases. Quadrivalent vaccine would be more appropriate over trivalentbased on epidemiology of infection in India.

Read More BACKGROUND: Childhood obesity remains a major health issue. The understanding of themultifactorial nature of childhood obesity remains the cornerstone to eliminate the rising trends. Thisstudy aimed to examine the association between parental and childhood weight status, in relationto various socioeconomic (SE) factors.METHODS: A cross‑sectional survey was conducted including 1190 children aged 10–12 years andtheir parents, during school years 2014–2016. Primary schools from five Greek counties (includingAthens metropolitan area) were randomly selected. Parental and child data were collected throughself‑administered, anonymous questionnaires. Children’s weight status was based on gender‑ andage‑specific tables derived from the International Obesity Task Force body mass index (BMI) cut offs.General Linear Model (GLM), Univariate and multivariate analyses were applied. Multiple logisticregressions was used to determine the association between children and parents’ weight status.RESULTS: Childhood prevalence of overweight and obesity was 25.9% (21.8% overweight and 4.1%obese), with prevalence being significantly higher in males (31.7% compared to 21.3%; P for genderdifferences < 0.001). The percent of overweight and obese male (34.4% and 43.1%) and femalechildren (20.3% and 31.8%) significantly increased with paternal overweight and obesity status,respectively. The same relationship was observed between male children and maternal overweight andobesity status (43.4% and 65.7%). This was not evident among females (27% and 23.2%). Regressionanalysis showed a significant positive association with parental BMI, a negative association withboth parental educational levels (low to high), living space, and parental age (P < 0.05, for all).Children’s likelihood of being overweight or obese increased significantly with increasing parentalweight status (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Parental weight status remained the most significant predictive factor for earlyadolescence obesity among various SE factors. Health promotion strategies should consider parentaleducation as an effective childhood obesity preventive measure.

Read More INTRODUCTION: In developing countries, there is an increased risk of incidence of noncommunicablediseases due to general and abdominal obesity. Therefore, this study aimed to assess socioeconomicdeterminants of excess weight and central obesity among women in Tehran city based on informationmotivation behavioral skills model (IMB).MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross‑sectional study was conducted among 260 women agedbetween 20 and 49 years old using cluster sampling. A skilled interviewer completed socioeconomicstatus (SES), food insecurity, and IMB questionnaires. Analysis of variance, Chi‑square tests, andregression model were used for statistical analysis. The multiple logistic regression analysis wasused to identify independent predictors of the excess weight and central obesity using SPSS 21.RESULTS: The mean and standard deviation of participants’ age was 34.7 (±7.59) years old. Theprevalence of overweight and obesity in adult women was estimated 35% and 21.2%, respectively.The prevalence of abdominal obesity was 34.6%. Independent predictors of overweight/obesity inwomen were age (odds ratio [OR] =1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.03–1.14), educationallevel (OR = 2.35, 95% CI = 1.05–5.27), and total expenditure (OR = 3.14, 95% CI = 1.06–9.37).Whereas, independent predictors for increased the likelihood of central obesity were age(OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.06–1.18), marital status (OR = 6.44, 95% CI = 1.94–21.40), low education(OR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.16–0.91), number of rooms (OR = 1.19, 95% CI 1.03–3.45), and self‑regulationscore (OR = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.88–1.00).CONCLUSIONS: The socioeconomic determinants, especially age, level of education, andexpenditure, as well as self‑regulation, play an important role in excess weight and central obesityamong women. Therefore, further research is needed to reach women in different SES groups with avariety of interventions through concurrent triangulation of longitudinal studies and qualitative research.
