Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a significant global health challenge, with increasing prevalence and diverse management approaches. Insulin therapy, a cornerstone in the management of advanced T2DM, is often met with reluctance and negative perceptions. A better understanding of the multifaceted factors influencing insulin acceptance is crucial for tailored interventions. This study explored the perception regarding insulin treatment using the validated Insulin Treatment Appraisal Scale (ITAS). This study aimed to explore socio-demographic and clinical factors influencing insulin therapy perception and acceptance among T2DM patients in Ilorin, Nigeria. It was a cross-sectional study among T2DM patients. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, diabetes related features and ITAS were collected and analyzed. Statistical methods, including t-tests and chi square were employed to assess the impact of various variables on insulin treatment perception. There was a statistically significant difference (p=0.029) between the age of insulin naïve and experienced patients. Some insulin-experienced patients had positive perceptions of insulin, like their belief in insulin’s health benefits (p = 0.001) and ability to control blood glucose (p = 0.048). Insulin-naive individuals exhibited more negative attitudes toward insulin, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and patients’ health education. This study provides valuable insights into the intricate interplay of socio-demographic characteristics, diabetes related features, and individual perceptions influencing insulin therapy acceptance among participants with T2DM. The findings underscore the importance of personalized interventions to address negative perceptions, ultimately enhancing diabetes management and treatment outcome.

Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular diseasesconstitute a significant global health challenge, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of their risk factors. This study explores the interplay between sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviors, and cardiovascular health among adult participants. Aim: The study aims to assess the cardiovascular health status and risk factors in adults, considering sociodemographic characteristics and health behaviors. Methods: In the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research Study (ICPSR146521), data that had been gathered prospectively were used to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, its risk factors, and the linked lifestyle in adult Myanmar inhabitants. Results: The study found that age was significantly associated with cardiovascular health, with an increase in age correlating with elevated risk. While gender was not a significant predictor, marital status and occupation played roles in shaping cardiovascular health outcomes. Smoking and sedentary lifestyles were identified as substantial risk factors, while physical exercise and healthier dietary habits demonstrated protective effects. Regression analysis further underscored the influence of BMI, age, and total cholesterol on cardiovascular health. Conclusion: This study provides critical insights into the complex interplay between sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviors, and cardiovascular health among adults. The findings emphasize the significance of age, smoking, physical activity, and dietary choices in shaping cardiovascular risk. Tailored interventions and public health strategies that consider these factors can enhance cardiovascular diseases prevention and management efforts, ultimately contributing to a reduction in the global burden of cardiovascular diseases.
