Abstract

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are common conditions seen in diabetic patients and major cause of morbidity, mortality and hospitalization. But these problems have been remained as very much neglected epidemic in our country and under-noticed by the health care professionals. Prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders varies from population to population in relation to their professional hazards. The aim of this study was determining the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and its associated factors among the type 2 diabetic subjects. In a cross-sectional study design a total of 1800 type 2 diabetic patients were screened from BIRDEM and BIHS Hospital. Data was collected purposively by a semistructured questionnaire and a check-list through face-to-face interview. Appropriate univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses were done accordingly by SPSS software version 16. The mean(±SD) age of the subjects was 52.6(±11.7) years (95% CI-52.1, 53.2) and 55%(n=990) were male. The mean(±SD) duration of diabetes was 10.5(±7.1) years (95% CI-10.15, 10.8). The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders of the study subjects (for both sex) was 77.8% (n=1400) (95% CI-75.88, 79.72). Significant mean differences (p<0.001) have been found for monthly family income, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood sugar and random blood sugar. Due to musculoskeletal disorders 62.8% (n=1130) (95% CI-4.37, 9.77) respondents changed their lifestyle for activity of daily living. Almost eight in every ten diabetic subjects are suffering from musculoskeletal disorders like pain, abnormal sensation and muscle cramp in their body. Monthly family income, raised blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, increased depression and high body weight are the major associated factors for MSDs.

Abstract

Disorders of the musculoskeletal system are the single largest group of work-related illness in the developing and developed world. Sedentary working style with wrong posture for long time can be important risk factor for the development of this disorder. Substantial number of Garment workers in Bangladesh suffered from musculoskeletal disorder.

The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence and find out the factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders among the garments workers. A total of 150 garments workers (where 60.7% were female) from Dhaka city (mean age- 25.2±4.8 years) were screened out in a cross-sectional study. Oxford muscle grading scale and Four point pain index have been used for the measurement of pain and muscular weakness.

Among the respondents suffering from pain, the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder was found in 60.7% whereas 10.0% had muscular weakness in different part of the body.

Gender (p<0.005), age (p<0.036) and marital status were significantly associated, however body weight (p<0.07) and education (p<0.062) were closely associated with this disorder. Almost two third of the garment workers were suffering from musculoskeletal disorders where gender, age, body weight, marital status and education can be associated factors.

Abstract

Evidence shows that school-age children are particularly vulnerable to under nutrition, if they are orphan than issue is more complicated. Children malnourished at school age are likely to have been malnourished since adult hood and chance to suffer by different communicable and noncommunicable diseases (NCD). The objectives of the study were to assess the complete nutritional status of the female orphans living in the Government Shishu Sadan (Girls) in Tangail district and also to explore the associate factors of the nutritional status. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 school going female orphans (age between 6-16 years) in 2012 in a selected government orphanage named Government Shishu Shadan (Girls), located in the Tangail district of Bangladesh. Selection of target population was based on the well communication and full co-operation from the orphanage authority. One in every three (32.0%) orphan girls was malnourished that is underweight or overweight. They are deprived from balanced diet like, egg, milk, and fruits. Majority of the orphan girl suffering from fever and common cold and their hygiene practice is also questionable. The rate of chronic under nutrition became more prevalent with long duration of stay in the orphanage. Efforts should be directed towards increasing energy intake in the orphanages’ diets.

Abstract

Sports injuries are the very common phenomenon among sports persons during the sports events. Among all kinds of lower leg injuries, shin splints is also occupied a noticeable extent. The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence and the associated risk factors of shin splints among the sports persons especially cricketers, footballers, tennis players and hockey players of different sporting clubs in Dhaka City of Bangladesh. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 116 sports persons to determine the prevalence and associated factors of shin splints. Data was collected with the help of interviewer administered structured questionnaire and the check-lists. Diagnosis was done by physiotherapist based on the specific criteria of signs and symptoms excluding fractures and compartmental syndrome. More than one quarter (25.9%) of players was suffering from shin splints, whereas, 3.4% had history (ever prevalence) of shinsplints. The significant risk factors for shin splints were: sports nature (p=0.002), average duration of playing in a day (p=0.001), maximum duration of playing without rest (p=0.001), and increased effort of playing (p=0.001). This study also reported shin splints as a major (68.0%) coverage among all kinds of lower leg pains. Prevalence of shin splints among the sports persons fairly high in Bangladesh which may lead early ending of their sports career. So, proper management and rehabilitation can help them to continue their playing for long time.

Abstract

Dietary salt intake behavior is higher among Bangladeshi population than the global perspective with also higher prevalence of extra salt intake during meal. Salt intake practices depend on the level of knowledge and attitude of the people. The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice towards dietary salt intake among the Bangladeshi population. It was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among 466 adult respondents (age≥18 years) from all of the seven divisional districts of Bangladesh. Data were collected from the government declared public places following convenient sampling technique; Face-to-face interviews were conducted using WHO Modified Salt Module of STEPS Questionnaire. Men respondents were more (74.7%), mean age was 34.2±12.9 years. More than two in every five respondents (44.4%) believed that they were used to consume just right amount of salt, whereas 60.7% believed that too much salt could cause serious health problems, and it was very important to lower salt intake among 38.8% respondents. More than two third (72.5%) of respondents were used to add extra salt during their meals, noticeable proportion was regular user (25.1%). Most of them were used to practice high salt content processed food in sometimes basis (29.8%). In a conclusion, it was noticed little gap between level of knowledge as well as attitude and level of salt and salty foods practices among the Bangladeshi population.
