Abstract

Malaria, anemia, and malnutrition are global health challenges with significant morbidity and mortality, and higher rates among children particularly in Africa. This study evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of malaria infection, anemia, and malnutrition among school-going children of Charsadda (a city of Khyber, Pakistan). A total of 400 children of aged 5-10 years were included in the study in 2023. Malaria infection was confirmed by rapid diagnostic tests. Hematocrit level was obtained using a centrifuge microhematocrit and converted to hemoglobin using standard conversion. Nutritional status was determined by the anthropometric measurements, and demographic characteristics were obtained by questionnaire. Anemia and malnutrition were defined according to the World Health Organization standards. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine association between the predictor variables and primary outcomes. In current research work 400 children were selected for the assessment of malaria and nutritional status, malaria infection was found more frequent among the students 120(12%). In addition, high prevalence of anemia 105(10.5%), malnutrition 90(9%), and stunting 70(7%) was observed, while wasting 2(0.2%) and underweight 20(2%0 had very low frequency. Malaria infection, anemia, and malnutrition were observed in12%, 10.5% and 9% of the children population, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study showing the current health problems among the school-going children of district Charsadda the prevalence of malaria, anemia and malnutrition and their co-existence in children 5-10 years.

Abstract

Foodborne diseases are very easily transmitted from contaminated food and food handlers. Bacteria and fungi are the major factors for fruit spoilage. Food spoilage causes losses to producers, distributors, and consumers in the form of reduced quality and quantity and higher prices. The objective of this study was to isolate and evaluate the antifungal analysis of food-borne fungal pathogens. For the evaluation of pathogenic fungi Milk, Chutney, Apple, Spinach, Salad, Guava, Fish, and Peas were taken. All the other food samples were taken in polythene zip bags. The vegetables and fruits were cut into small pieces with a sterilized blade and then plated on Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) aseptically and then incubated for 5 days. To find foodborne pathogenic fungi in various food items, a total of 320 were collected for evaluation. Out of the total food samples (65), 20.31% were found positive for fungal pathogens in various foodstuffs while 255 (79.68%) food samples were found negative. Among the positive food samples, Fusarium spp was more predominant 28(43%) led by Aspergillus spp 25( 38.5%). In comparison, Mucor and Cladosporium were found in low frequency with percentages of 7(10.8%), 5(7.7%). For antifungal activity, a panel of selected drugs was used to assess the susceptibility of pathogens. Among the antifungals best activity was shown by Voriconazole and intermediate activity was shown by Fluconazole. While high resistance was observed in Nystatin as compared to other antifungals.

Abstract

Vitamin D deficiency and dental cavities are global issues. Thus, the purpose of the study is to investigate how dental caries in school-age children from the Peshawar district is affected by vitamin D insufficiency. The study included 1600 kids ranging in age from 4 to 15 years old. To obtain samples, a methodical random sampling procedure was used. In the current study, 1600 samples were calculated to investigate vitamin D deficiency in children enrolled in school. Men were found to have a significant percentage of vitamin D insufficiency (22.5%), but female had a relatively low ratio (12.5%). Male students made up 220 (27.5%) of the school-age population, while female students made up 100 (12.5%). Both genders had significant rates of insufficiency. Age-appropriate investigation. Male students made up 220 (27.5%) of the school-age population, while female students made up 100 (12.5%). Both genders had significant rates of inadequacy. The investigation of vitamin D deficiency according to age reveals that very low frequency was found in the low aged group (4–7 years) 80 (10%), similarly low frequency was found in the 8–11 years group 120 (15%), and very high frequency was found in the 12–15 years group 160 (20%). According to the data broken down by residency, children living in urban areas had a high frequency ratio of 160(20%) compared to 120(15%) for children living in rural areas. Long-term health effects are associated with the growing issue of vitamin D insufficiency and its relationship to school-age children's intellectual performance. The current investigation demonstrated the connection between investigation of vitamin D deficiency according to age, gender, and socioeconomic position.

Abstract

Considering the importance of regular exercise and a healthy diet in protecting against cardiovascular disease and CVD. This way the research aimed to assess the Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Aged of 40-70 Years Adults and their Association with Dietary Intake and Exercise Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted from May 2023 to April 2024 among adults aged 40-70 years living in District Peshawar. The participants´ dietary intake, physical activity, body mass index, fat mass, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and serum lipid profile were analyzed in the current study. A Questionnaire was used to assess physical activity and a structured 24-hour food-recall questionnaire was used to assess the participants´ dietary intake and exercise or physical activity was recorded on two separate days. Results: A total of 320 individuals were enrolled in the study. All persons had complete participation, filling out two separate 24-hour food-recall questionnaires. The number of females was 160% and similarly, the males were 160%. Most of them were married, had an education level less than high school, in physical activity most of the higher-aged people were not involved remained in rest conditions, and were living in urban regions. Their dietary intakes of were contained regularly based on a balanced diet. The vegetable intake was also not proper.  Based on age groups, they were divided into five groups marital status, education level, based on region, physical activity, and dietary information were properly recorded. Observing variables (age, gender, physical activity, and daily intake of food groups) showed that more physiological risk factors for CVD revealed that daily intake of a balanced diet, and regular exercise had a significant association with having physiological risk factors of CVD. Based on the current study, it is concluded that most middle-aged (50-70 years) aged people in urban areas, had one to four physiological risk factors for cardiovascular disease and daily intakes of carbohydrates and protein were higher than dietary reference intakes for adults. Conclusion: We also found that the relationship of low physical activity with physiological risk factors for CVD was more substantial than the intake of different food groups. It is also observed that the females had more risk factors for CVD than the males. The people of Peshawar must change their lifestyle of exercise and diet to reduce this main health issue of CVD.
