Abstract

Background: Little is known about the frequency of bullying victimization (BV) among adolescents in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states. This study aims to assess the prevalence and correlates of frequent and infrequent BV among school-going adolescents in five ASEAN member states. Methods: The cross-sectional sample of the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) of 2015 comprised 33,184 school adolescents (14.6 years mean age) from five ASEAN countries. Students completed a paper-based, self-administered questionnaire on BV in their own languages during classroom periods. Multinomial logistic regression was used to predict frequent and infrequent BV, with no BV as the reference category. Results: Results indicate that 30.6% of participants reported any past-month BV, 33.9% in boys and 27.5 in girls, ranging from 11.8% in Laos to 48.7% in the Philippines. In the adjusted multinomial logistic regression analysis of students from the Philippines and Thailand, experience of hunger, sedentary behavior, attendance at physical education classes, being underweight, overweight, or obese, ever amphetamine use, physical assault, school truancy, participation in a physical fight, injury, low peer support, and psychological distress were all associated with BV. Conclusions: Approximately one in three adolescents was bullied. Several associated variables were identified which can assist in targeting strategies of intervention.

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of dizziness in older community-dwelling adults in India. Methods: The cross-sectional sample was composed of 21,343 individuals (≥65 years) from the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI) Wave 1 in 2017–2018. Dizziness was assessed by determining if the individuals suffered from “persistent or troublesome dizziness or light headedness” in the past 2 years. Results: Women and men had the overall prevalence of 14.6%/17.2% and 11.6% in past 2-year dizziness, respectively. Adjusted logistic regression analysis revealed that sociodemographic factors (female sex), physical chronic conditions (angina), geriatric conditions (incontinence and impaired vision), stress and mental health (poor or fail self-rated health, perceived discrimination, neurological or psychiatric problems, insomnia symptoms, persistent headaches, and severe fatigue or exhaustion) and health risk behavior (tobacco use) were positively associated with dizziness. Conclusions: One in seven older adults in India had past 2-year dizziness. The factors associated with dizziness included female sex, angina, incontinence, impaired vision, poor or fair self-rated health, perceived discrimination, neurological or psychiatric problems, insomnia symptoms, persistent headaches, severe fatigue or exhaustion, and tobacco use.

Abstract

The study aimed to assess the relationship between hand grip strength (HGS) and depressive symptoms among ageing women and men in a longitudinal study in rural South Africa. We analyzed longitudinal data from two consecutive population-based surveys in Agincourt, South Africa, 2014/2015-2018/2019. Results indicate that in all, 835 adults of 3268 participants without depression in Wave 1 (25.0 percent) had incident depression in Wave 2, and 184 adults of 3866 participants who had depression in Wave 1 (4.8 percent) screened positive for depression at both Wave 1 and 2 (persistent depression). The prevalence of weak HGS was 51.5 percent at baseline. In the fully adjusted model, weak HGS increased the odds of incident depressive symptoms between both sexes (AOR: 1.24, 95 percent CI: 1.04-1.47) among women (AOR: 1.33, 95 percent CI: 1.05-1.68), but not among men. No models among both sexes, among men and women, showed an increased odds of weak HGS with persistent depressive symptoms. Weak HGS was independently associated with the incident, but not persistent depressive symptoms between the two sexes and between women but not between men
