The synergistic effects (if any) of malnutrition and chronic arsenic exposure may worsen the adverse pregnancy outcomes. This population based case control study reports the association between chronic arsenic exposure and nutritional status among the rural women in Bangladesh. 348 cases (BMI < 18.5) and 360 controls (BMI 18.5–24.99) were recruited from a baseline survey conducted among 2,341 women. An excess risk for malnutrition was observed among the participants chronically exposed to higher concentrations of arsenic in drinking water after adjusting for potential confounders such as participant’s age, religion, education, monthly household income and history of oral contraceptive pills.Women exposed to arsenic >50 μg/L were at 1.9 times (Odds Ratio = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.1–3.6) increased risk of malnutrition compared to unexposed. The findings of this study suggest that chronic arsenic exposure is likely to contribute to poor nutritional status among women of 20–45 years.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:51:48 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21014 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:03:06 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1444 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:39:52 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5340 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:24:16 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29402 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:13:01 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16780 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:14:25 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29640 p < 0.001). The majority of knowledgeable participants (n = 3645) felt excessive temperature as the change of climate (83.2 %). Among all the respondents (n = 6720), 94.5 % perceived change in climate and extreme weather events. Most of them (91.9 %) observed change in rainfall patterns in the last 10 years, and 97.8 % people think their health care expenditure increased after the extreme weather events. Age, educational qualification, monthly income, and occupation were significantly associated with the knowledge about climate change (p < 0.001). People with higher educational level or who live near a school were more knowledgeable about CC and its impact on health. Conclusions: The knowledge level about CC in our study group was average but the perception and awareness of CC related events and its impact on health was high. The most influential factor leading to understanding of CC and its impact on health was education. School-based intervention could be explored to increase peoples’ knowledge about CC and necessary health adaptation at community level.]]> Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:04:05 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:432 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:10:00 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:492 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:09:56 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:461 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:09:54 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:408 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:09:51 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13951 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:41:26 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7993 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:42:36 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8430 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:40:46 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8376 30, and with a history of arthritis but no significant association with other demographic variables.

Internationally and nationally, considerable efforts are being made to promote active ageing. However, Australia lacks the kind of comprehensive longitudinal research underway in Europe and North America. Although Australia does have a number of longitudinal studies designed to address various issues of health and ageing among older adults, only a few of these studies include a broad and comprehensive range of physical and biological measures. The Hunter Community Study (HCS) is a collaborative study between the University of Newcastle’s School of Medicine and Public Health and the Hunter New England Area Health Service. It is a multi disciplinary initiative that was established to fill some existing gaps in ageing research in Australia and is unique in that it has collected detailed information across all six key policy themes as identified in the Framework for an Australian Ageing Research Agenda.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:25 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8035 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:05 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1950 50 µg/L. This constitutes 0.3% of the total disease burden in Bangladesh in terms of undiscounted DALYs. We found intervention to be of overall benefit in reducing disease burden in most scenarios examined, but the concomitant increase in water-related infectious disease significantly reduced the potential benefits gained from intervention. A minimum reduction in arsenic-related DALYs of 77% was necessary before intervention achieved any reduction in net disease burden. This is assuming that interventions were provided to those exposed to > 50 µg/L and would concomitantly result in a 20% increase in water-related infectious disease in those without access to adequate sanitation. Intervention appears to be justified for those populations exposed to high levels of arsenic, but it must be based on exposure levels and on the effectiveness of interventions not only in reducing arsenic but in minimizing risk of water-related infections.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:20 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1896 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:07 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1066 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:32:10 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1029 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:31:54 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:843 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:31:27 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:845 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:31:27 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2912 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:27:59 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2432 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:26:54 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10473 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:09:16 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17091 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:37 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21419 P=0.02), diastolic (P=0.01), and arterial blood pressures (P=0.002), respectively, 5 years later.
