Association of anaemia with indoor air pollution among older Indian adult population: multilevel modelling analysis of nationally representative cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Anaemia is a disease of public health importance with multi-causal pathways. Previous literature suggests the role of indoor air pollution (IAP) on haemoglobin levels, but this has been studied less due to logistic constraints. A high proportion of the population in developing countries, including India, still depends on unclean fuel, which exacerbates IAP.

Long-Term Kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing and Anti-Receptor Binding Domain Antibodies among Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19 Cases in Delhi National Capital Region, India: A Prospective, One-Year Follow-Up Study.

This study was conducted with the objective of measuring the neutralizing and anti-receptor binding domain antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 among laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases and exploring its long-term kinetics over a period of 1 year. One hundred laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases were recruited. Serum samples of the participants were collected within three months from the date of the positive COVID-19 report.

Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI) for SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among the General Population of North India: A Cross-Sectional Analysis From a Sub-sample of a Large Sero-Epidemiological Study.

Background Cell-mediated immunity (CMI), or specifically T-cell-mediated immunity, is proven to remain largely preserved against the variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), including Omicron. The persistence of cell-mediated immune response in individuals longitudinally followed up for an extended period remains largely unelucidated. To address this, the current study was planned to study whether the effect of cell-mediated immunity persists after an extended period of convalescence or vaccination.

Assessment of cardiovascular risk using WHO CVD risk prediction chart with respect to hypertension status among Indian population: A secondary analysis of National Family Health Survey (2015-16).

Background: Hypertension, is a crucial risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Studies assessing the risk of developing CVD among high-risk groups like hypertensives is limited.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to find the distribution of CVD risk with respect to hypertension status among Indian adults.

Establishing nomogram of blood pressure for late adolescents in India: Secondary analysis of NFHS-4 data.

Background: Hypertension among adolescents is a public health problem, which is going to become more severe given the current obesity epidemic. There is a scarcity of information on the reference range value for blood pressure (BP) cut-off for adolescents.

Aim: We aimed to establish BP distribution in adolescents aged 15-19 years by using the nationally representative National Family Health Survey-4 (NFHS-4) data.

COVID-19 infection, and reinfection, and vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic infection among health care workers in the setting of omicron variant transmission in New Delhi, India.

Background: Surge of SARS CoV-2 infections ascribed to omicron variant began in December 2021 in New Delhi. We determined the infection and reinfection density in a cohort of health care workers (HCWs) along with vaccine effectiveness (VE) against symptomatic infection within omicron transmission period (considered from December 01, 2021 to February 25, 2022.

Methods: This is an observational study from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.

Compliance with iron folic acid (IFA) tablets and associated factors among pregnant women attending ante-natal care clinic at Sub District Hospital, Ballabgarh.

Introduction: Anemia is a common public health problem among children, adolescent girls, women in reproductive age groups, pregnant and lactating women, with an estimated prevalence of 50.3% among pregnant women according to National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 4. Iron deficiency is regarded as the most common cause of anemia among pregnant women globally and in India.

Quality of life of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending a tertiary care hospital of Northern India: A cross sectional study.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and progressive metabolic disorder. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) there is "an apparent epidemic of diabetes, which is strongly related to lifestyle and economic change." Objective of the study was to assess the quality of life of people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus and factors associated with quality of life.

Estimation of cardiovascular risk in a rural population of Lucknow district using WHO/ISH risk prediction charts.

Context: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally, with low- and middle-income countries being affected disproportionately. By 2020, it is projected that there will be 25 million deaths from CVD worldwide, 19 million of which would be from middle- and low-income countries.

Aims: The aim of this study was to estimate the 10-year risk of cardiovascular events among adults aged ≥40 years in a rural population of Lucknow district using the World Health Organization (WHO)/International Society of Hypertension (ISH) risk prediction charts for SEAR-D region.
