Health-Promoting Behaviors in Bulgaria: A Cross-Sectional Study on Non-Communicable Diseases and Lifestyle

Societies, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1), P. 15 - 15

Published: Jan. 17, 2025

(1) Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a global health issue causing millions of deaths annually. Bulgaria has one the highest rates premature mortality due to NCDs in European Union, mostly attributed poor lifestyle habits. While adopting healthy is beneficial preventing and managing existing conditions, research on health-promoting behaviors among individuals with remains limited. (2) Methods: This study investigates disparities between diagnosed common individuals, sociodemographic determinants lifestyles nationally representative sample 2017 adult Bulgarian citizens. We analyzed characteristics, status (weight, height, diagnoses—diabetes, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, hypertension, depression), data. (3) Results: Only 18.8% participants maintained 65% had moderately lifestyle. Over one-third respondents were pre-obese, many reported having at least chronic condition. Multinomial logistic regression revealed conditions less likely have or compared participants, except those disease depression, who more maintain (4) Conclusions: Considering discovered discrepancies quality, should be directed toward identifying barriers living for NCDs.

Associations between kidney function with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: a prospective cohort study in China

Journal of Health Population and Nutrition, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 44(1)

Published: March 13, 2025

Abnormal kidney function is associated with adverse outcomes in patients type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the evidence between and mortality among Chinese T2DM were still limited. This cohort study included 19,919 participants baseline from 2013 to 2014 Jiangsu, China. Serum estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urea, uric acid measured at baseline, Cox regression models used evaluate hazard ratios (HRs) 95% confidential intervals (95%CIs) of all-cause cause-specific mortality. Restricted cubic splines analyze dose-response relationships, we explored best cut-off values by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. During a median follow-up 9.77 years, 4,428 deaths occurred, including 1,542 (34.8%) due cardiovascular disease (CVD), 1,074 (24.3%) cancer. Compared lowest quintile level (Q1), highest (Q5) eGFR was negatively (HR = 0.67, 95%CI: 0.58–0.77) CVD 0.57, 95%CI 0.44–0.75). The higher levels urea positively (Q5 vs. Q1: HR 1.27, 1.16–1.39; 1.21, 1.10–1.34), an overall "U-shaped" relationships. Moreover, cancer 0.79, 0.66–0.95). 88.50 ml/min/1.73m2, 6.95 mmol/L 342.50 µmol/L for eGFR, acid, respectively. We found abnormal people T2DM. More clinical researches are needed validate effects on risk prevention management.

Stem cell exosomes: New hope for recovery from diabetic brain hemorrhage

World Journal of Diabetes, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(11), P. 2264 - 2271

Published: Oct. 16, 2024

Recent advancements in stem cell-derived exosome therapy for diabetic brain hemorrhage are discussed this editorial, which highlights therapy's potential revolutionizing treatment. The paper offers compelling evidence that exosomes can effectively reduce neuroinflammation and promote recovery from hemorrhage. Although these findings promising, further research is warranted to fully understand the underlying mechanisms validate therapeutic of clinical settings. study indicate continued exploration should be conducted into exosome-based therapies as a novel approach managing
