Prevalence and genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus in Mongolia: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To characterize hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection epidemiology in Mongolia.

Method: Publications on HCV antibody (Ab) and RNA prevalence, and/or genotypes/subtypes were systematically reviewed and reported following PRISMA guidelines. Random-effects meta-analyses and age adjustments were conducted to estimate the prevalence of Mongolians exposed to HCV (pooled HCV-Ab prevalence) by time period, sex, and at-risk populations; and to estimate the prevalence of chronically-infected HCV individuals.

Changes in the configuration and patterns of physical activity among Mongolian adults, 2005-2013.

This study examined the change in physical activity status and patterns and their associations with urban and rural residence and employment status in Mongolia. We analyzed data from 7,738 adults aged from 20 to 64 years (n = 2,877 and 4,861 for 2005 and 2013, respectively) from the Mongolian STEPS Survey on the Prevalence of Non-Communicable Disease Risk Factors (NCD-STEPS survey). Physical activity in three domains, including work (occupational and household work); transport (walk or cycling); and leisure (sport or fitness) was measured by Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ).
