Article Synopsis
- * Findings indicated that age (especially those over 60), gender (higher rates in men), and existing health conditions played significant roles in COVID-19 susceptibility, with a notable number of asymptomatic cases and high comorbidity prevalence.
- * The study offers valuable epidemiological insights for public health strategies and future vaccine developments, though it acknowledges limitations such as selection bias due to lockdown restrictions and varied participant characteristics.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the connection between living standards and the risk of developing diabetes and hypertension, both directly and indirectly via overweight and obesity.
- Data from the 2017-2018 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey was analyzed, focusing on household living standards and body mass index (BMI) among nearly 12,000 adults.
- Results indicated that those with higher living standards had significantly increased odds of diabetes (133%), hypertension (25%), and both conditions (148%), primarily due to weight gain linked to improved living standards, highlighting the need for policy interventions to address these health risks.
Introduction: The World Health Organization recommended a set of five neonatal care practices that are most essential for good health of a newborn. As good essential newborn care (ENC) practice reduces the risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality, this paper focuses how women's multidimensional empowerment index is associated with this practice through the skilled antenatal care. To the best of knowledge, no such study has been conducted yet.

In this study, it was examined how a set of covariates behaves on different quantile survival times related with the infant mortality.
Methods: Data obtained from Bangladesh multiple indicator cluster survey (BMICS), 2019 have been used for purpose of the study.
Background And Aims: Essential newborn care (ENC) practices play an important role in reducing the risk of infant mortality and morbidity. Therefore, more studies are needed on ENC practices. Skilled maternal healthcare can be a good strategy to increase the practice.

Heavy metals were analyzed with an atomic absorption spectrometer. The mean concentrations of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Nickel (Ni), and Zinc (Zn) found in blood samples of the exposed workers were 32.
