Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major global health burden, with dietary factors playing a significant role in their prevention and management. This study examines the impact of dietary interventions, particularly the Mediterranean diet, DASH diet, and plant-based diets, on reducing NCD risk. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies on the relationship between dietary patterns and NCDs. The findings reveal that adherence to nutrient-rich diets improves metabolic health, reduces inflammation, and lowers the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity. However, challenges such as limited access to healthy foods, socioeconomic barriers, and gaps in healthcare provider knowledge persist. Policy recommendations include increasing subsidies for nutritious foods, regulating unhealthy food advertising, and integrating dietary education into healthcare systems. Multidisciplinary approaches, including digital health interventions and community-based programs, are necessary to enhance adherence to dietary modifications. Future research should explore the long-term effects of dietary interventions, the role of nutrigenomics, and microbiome-diet interactions in disease prevention. Strengthening dietary strategies in public health and clinical practice is crucial to reducing NCD prevalence and improving global health outcomes.

Abstract

Cyberbullying has become a critical issue affecting children and adolescents, with increasing evidence linking it to severe mental health consequences. This study aims to examine the prevalence, psychological impact, and potential interventions to mitigate cyberbullying’s harmful effects. A systematic review methodology was employed, analyzing peer-reviewed studies from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and PsycINFO. The findings reveal that cyberbullying significantly contributes to depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and suicidal ideation among victims. The role of protective factors, such as parental support and school-based interventions, is highlighted as crucial in minimizing these risks. Additionally, the study explores the dual role of technology and social media algorithms in either exacerbating or mitigating cyberbullying incidents. While platforms enable online harassment, technological interventions, including content moderation and reporting tools, present potential solutions. Given the growing prevalence of cyberbullying, urgent action is needed. Schools should implement digital literacy programs, while policymakers must enforce stricter regulations on social media content. Future research should focus on assessing intervention effectiveness, exploring cross-cultural differences, and leveraging AI for cyberbullying detection. Addressing cyberbullying requires a multi-disciplinary approach, integrating education, technology, and policy to safeguard children's mental health in digital spaces.

Abstract

Health literacy is a critical determinant of crisis preparedness, influencing how individuals access, comprehend, and utilize health information during emergencies. This study systematically reviews the role of health literacy in emergency preparedness and response, examining its impact on individual decision-making, community resilience, and public health interventions. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across academic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, focusing on studies published from 2018 onward. Findings indicate that higher health literacy levels enhance adherence to emergency health guidelines, facilitate risk perception, and contribute to better health outcomes. However, disparities in health literacy—shaped by socioeconomic inequalities, digital accessibility, and misinformation—continue to pose challenges in crisis management. The study highlights the increasing role of digital health communication and social media in disseminating health information, emphasizing the need for regulatory measures to counteract misinformation. Policy recommendations include integrating health literacy into public health strategies, enhancing community-driven education initiatives, and leveraging digital health tools for widespread information dissemination. Future research should explore the effectiveness of tailored interventions in marginalized communities and the long-term impact of digital health literacy initiatives. By prioritizing health literacy in crisis management frameworks, policymakers can improve population-level health resilience and ensure equitable access to critical health information.

Abstract

Fast food consumption has surged globally, raising critical concerns for public health. This systematic review analyzes the relationship between fast food intake and its metabolic and cardiovascular impacts particularly on obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. Evidence from the past two decades shows a consistent link between regular fast food consumption and increased risk of chronic diseases, driven by its high calorie, low nutrient composition and its contribution to inflammation and weight gain. These effects are exacerbated among low income populations and in urban environments. Importantly, this study highlights the influence of food marketing, policy environments, and socioeconomic factors in shaping dietary behaviors. Countries with comprehensive nutrition regulations such as taxation on unhealthy food and advertising restrictions report lower dependence on fast food and improved public health outcomes. Thus, this review emphasizes the urgent need for multi sectoral policy interventions to reduce fast food consumption and its health consequences. The findings contribute to public health discourse by offering evidence based insights for formulating targeted nutritional policies, promoting dietary education, and addressing socioeconomic disparities in access to healthy foods.

Abstract

Health literacy is essential for informed health decision-making, yet disparities persist due to geographical, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. This study systematically reviews existing literature to examine how these variables influence public health awareness. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar identified relevant studies published in the last decade. Findings reveal that individuals in rural and low-income communities experience significant barriers to accessing reliable health information due to limited healthcare infrastructure, digital divide, and environmental stressors such as pollution and inadequate sanitation. Furthermore, disparities in formal education and socioeconomic status contribute to the uneven distribution of health literacy levels. Digital health solutions, including mobile health applications and telemedicine, have demonstrated potential in bridging this gap. However, accessibility and digital literacy remain critical challenges. The study emphasizes the need for policy-driven interventions that integrate community-based education, environmental health awareness, and digital health tools. Future research should explore the effectiveness of long-term digital health literacy programs and strategies for embedding environmental health education into public health policies. Strengthening interdisciplinary collaborations among healthcare professionals, educators, and policymakers is crucial to improving health literacy and reducing health disparities globally .
