Metabolic Syndrome-Related Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavior among Indigenous Communities in Taiwan: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
January 2023
Article Synopsis
- Metabolic syndrome is a collection of health risks linked to cardiovascular and chronic diseases, which poses a greater challenge for indigenous communities that may lack awareness and resources.
- A study conducted among Taiwanese indigenous communities found a striking 71% prevalence of metabolic syndrome, with only 39.1% of participants demonstrating correct knowledge about it, and negative attitudes leading to low self-management behaviors.
- The research identified key factors influencing self-management, including knowledge, attitude, age, and Body Mass Index (BMI), highlighting the urgent need for targeted health education programs to improve awareness and management of metabolic syndrome in these communities.
A live cell-based whole blood cytotoxicity assay (WCA) that allows access to temporal information of the overall cell cytotoxicity is developed with high-throughput cell positioning technology. The targeted tumor cell populations are first preprogrammed to immobilization into an array format, and labeled with green fluorescent cytosolic dyes. Following the cell array formation, antibody drugs are added in combination with human whole blood.
