Background: Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), characterized by the coexistence of diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, poses a major health challenge in India, particularly in rural areas with limited healthcare resources. Lifestyle interventions can manage cardiometabolic risk factors, yet adherence remains suboptimal. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions offer a scalable approach for managing CMM by promoting behaviour change and medication adherence.

- * It involves creating and testing tools for the intervention through a hybrid design and an exploratory cluster randomized trial while utilizing the EPIS framework to assess feasibility.
- * The research aims to address the gap in evidence for effective geriatric screening in low-middle income countries and develop validated tools and models for national health programs.
Article Synopsis
- The Global Burden of Disease report highlights significant loss of life years due to soil-transmitted helminths (STHs), with millions at risk, particularly in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies from 1999 to 2022 indicated that 37.16% of schoolchildren aged 5-18 were infected with STH, with the highest prevalence found in the Western Pacific region at 50.41%.
- The study classifies regions into high and moderate-risk zones for STH infection and notes a 12% reduction in prevalence from 1999 to 2012, identifying one species as the most commonly found among these children.
Article Synopsis
- * The research will include surveys, interviews, and focus groups in Tigiria block to assess community knowledge of antibiotics and AMR, along with clinical sample collection for bacterial testing and gene sequencing.
- * The study aims to link community awareness with clinical data to better understand antibiotic misuse and identify multi-drug resistant organisms in the population.
Poor air quality, especially in urban regions among low-and middle-income countries such as India poses a significant healthcare challenge. Amongst urban areas, metropolitan cities garner the utmost importance for air quality related policies and studies with limited studies from tier II cities which are thought to be relatively immune to air pollution. Hence, we aimed to identify the most frequent respiratory morbidities and explore its correlation with exposure to ambient PM2.
