Magenta Journal of Healthymedi is a peer-reviewed publication that discusses public health, nursing, midwifery, health policy administration, health promotion, hospital management, health psychology, advocacy, health empowerment, and offers original articles on public health practice, teaching, and research. In this era of globalization, we are required to always make changes in health developments related to lifestyle, changes in norms and regulations, both society and stakeholders who are interconnected to form new behaviors. In the field of health behavior, it is strongly supported by the existence of 4 elements, namely Advocacy, Public Campaigns, Community Mobilization, and Personal Communication. The topics raised in this journal are very relevant to current developments where behavioral factors greatly determine the health status of individuals, groups and communities. This will certainly make a very big contribution if the research results are used as a reference in the preparation and resolution of emerging health problems. The presence of this journal with various disciplines and competent institutions, scientists, and professionals in their fields, gives birth to thoughts and thoughts that are more documented and socialized and easily accessible online.

Abstract

Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors whose biological mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Altered trace-element homeostasis may be relevant to the oxidative and cellular processes associated with fibroid biology. This study examined serum selenium, copper, zinc, and copper/zinc ratio among women with uterine fibroids. The study included 140 women aged 20–50 years, comprising 80 participants with uterine fibroids and 60 controls. Serum selenium, copper, and zinc concentrations were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and the copper/zinc ratio was calculated. Between-group differences were evaluated using an independent-samples t-test, while differences according to disease duration were assessed using analysis of variance. Women with uterine fibroids had lower mean selenium and zinc concentrations than controls, whereas copper concentration and copper/zinc ratio were higher. The reported between-group differences were statistically significant. Among the 50 participants with available disease-duration data, no significant differences were observed in selenium, copper, zinc, or copper/zinc ratio across the three duration categories. The study provides population-specific evidence of altered serum trace-element profiles in women with uterine fibroids. The findings support further investigation of trace-element homeostasis as a potential component of fibroid biology, while longitudinal research is required to establish temporal relationships and clinical relevance.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) represent the leading global cause of morbidity and premature mortality, accounting for approximately 74% of all deaths worldwide. Health promotion and behavioral interventions constitute the most scalable and cost-effective strategies for NCD prevention, yet their translation into practice remains inconsistent. This comprehensive review synthesizes evidence across six interconnected health promotion domains: cardiovascular health and metabolic disease prevention; cancer screening and early detection; vaccination programs and infectious disease control; environmental and occupational health promotion; maternal, child, and reproductive health; and mental health promotion and psychosocial support. A narrative review methodology was employed to integrate evidence from over 55 peer-reviewed publications spanning epidemiological analyses, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and national surveillance studies. Findings indicate that multisectoral health promotion frameworks, incorporating community engagement, digital health tools, and cultural competency, yield the strongest preventive outcomes. Critical implementation gaps remain in vaccine hesitancy, antimicrobial stewardship, climate-related health promotion, and mental health integration into primary care. Evidence-based recommendations are presented for health policymakers, nurses, public health practitioners, and hospital administrators.

Abstract

Diabetes self-management is a fundamental component of effective Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) care. However, successful self-management is influenced by multiple demographic, clinical, psychosocial, and healthcare-related factors that remain incompletely understood when examined independently. This study aimed to identify the determinants of diabetes self-management among patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus using an integrated multidimensional framework. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 401 patients with T2DM recruited from outpatient diabetes clinics between January and April 2026. Data were collected using validated international instruments measuring diabetes self-management, diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, health literacy, diabetes distress, perceived social support, and healthcare-related factors. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multiple linear regression were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 29 to identify independent determinants of diabetes self-management. The regression model explained 69.2% of the variance in diabetes self-management. Self-efficacy was identified as the strongest positive determinant, followed by diabetes knowledge, perceived social support, health literacy, patient–provider communication, healthcare accessibility, educational level, age, and diabetes duration. Conversely, higher HbA1c levels and diabetes distress were significantly associated with lower diabetes self-management. Diabetes self-management is influenced by interrelated demographic, clinical, psychosocial, and healthcare-related factors. The study highlights the importance of integrated, patient-centered interventions that enhance self-efficacy, diabetes education, health literacy, psychosocial support, and healthcare accessibility to improve long-term diabetes outcomes. These findings provide evidence for clinicians and policymakers in designing comprehensive diabetes management strategies.

Abstract

Chronic inflammation has emerged as one of the principal biological mechanisms underlying the global burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, osteoarthritis, metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative disorders, and several forms of cancer. Unlike acute inflammation, which is essential for host defense and tissue repair, chronic low-grade inflammation is characterized by persistent activation of immune pathways, excessive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and prolonged oxidative stress that gradually impair tissue function. Increasing evidence suggests that elevated circulating biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) are strongly associated with disease progression, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality among adult populations. Consequently, identifying safe and effective anti-inflammatory interventions has become an important priority in preventive medicine and clinical nutrition.

Abstract

Chronic inflammation is a key contributor to the development and progression of numerous non-communicable diseases, creating increasing interest in safe and effective nutritional interventions. This systematic review aimed to synthesize contemporary evidence regarding the effects of curcumin supplementation on inflammatory biomarkers in human clinical studies. A systematic literature search was conducted in major scientific databases, and eligible randomized controlled trials were selected according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The extracted evidence was synthesized narratively with emphasis on major inflammatory biomarkers, intervention characteristics, and methodological quality. The available evidence indicates that curcumin supplementation is associated with favorable modulation of inflammatory biomarkers, particularly C-reactive protein, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha, although the magnitude of these effects varies according to disease characteristics, dosage, treatment duration, and formulation. These findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge supporting curcumin as a complementary nutritional intervention for chronic inflammatory conditions and provide practical considerations for clinicians, nutrition researchers, and healthcare professionals. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials employing standardized intervention protocols are required to strengthen the evidence base and guide future clinical recommendations.
