Background: The measles vaccine is crucial in preventing fatalities and reducing widespread childhood infections worldwide, yet achieving the desired immunization rates remains a challenge in developing countries. Our study aims to identify the impact of socio-demographic factors on measles vaccination among children in South Asian countries.
Methods: Participants (89513) were taken from the most recent Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) datasets of South Asian countries between 2015 and 2021.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the growing problem of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Bangladesh, focusing on the prevalence and associated risk factors for double and triple burdens of NCDs, finding high rates of diabetes (10%), hypertension (27.4%), and overweight/obesity (24.3%) among respondents.
- - Utilizing data from over 12,000 participants and applying various machine learning techniques, the research highlights that factors like age, sex, marital status, wealth, education, and geography significantly influence the occurrence of these health issues.
- - Among the machine learning classifiers tested, the random forest model showed the best prediction accuracy for both double (81.06%) and triple (88.61%)
Background: Globally, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a significant public health problem. NCDs are the leading cause of death in Bangladesh. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of double burden of NCDs (DBNCDs) and triple burden of NCDs (TBNCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes and overweight or obesity and to explore the risk factors of DBNCDs and TBNCDs in Bangladesh.
