Beta cell function, insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance all showed a statistically significant improvement as well. Conclusion: To our knowledge this is the first trial to show an improvement in glucose handling using HOMA parameters in participants with prediabetes. Larger randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm these findings and to explore clinical endpoints.]]> Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:00:37 AEST ]]> Association between hypertension and chronic arsenic exposure in drinking water: a cross-sectional study in Bangladesh https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20106 50μg/L or to that of arsenic exposure as quartiles or as duration. Arsenic concentration as quartiles and >50 μg/L did show a strong relationship with increased pulse pressure (adjusted OR: 3.54, 95% CI: 1.46–8.57), as did arsenic exposure for ≥10 years (adjusted OR: 5.25, 95% CI: 1.41–19.51). Arsenic as quartiles showed a dose response relationship with increased pulse pressure. Our study suggests an association between higher drinking water arsenic or duration and pulse pressure, but not hypertension.]]> Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:26:19 AEST ]]> Trapped in statelessness: Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30386 Thu 21 Oct 2021 12:51:37 AEDT ]]> A review of the effects of chronic arsenic exposure on adverse pregnancy outcomes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30167 50 ppb) and spontaneous abortion, stillbirth and low birth weight. Limitations of certain studies include study design, small sample size, recall constraints and exposure assessment. There needs to be further research investigating the dose metered impact of arsenic exposure on pregnancy outcomes. Further research on impact of low–moderate arsenic concentration exposure on pregnancy outcomes will allow for appropriate public health policy recommendations.]]> Thu 14 Apr 2022 10:57:38 AEST ]]> Health knowledge and smokeless tobacco quit attempts and intentions among married women in rural Bangladesh: cross-sectional survey https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26831 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:50 AEDT ]]> Assessment of nutritional status of infants living in arsenic-contaminated areas in Bangladesh and its association with arsenic exposure https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32802 Fri 22 Apr 2022 10:24:54 AEST ]]>
