“…Ao verificar a média de horas de sono, constatou-se que não houve associação significativa, embora exista variação nas horas de sono dos dias de folga para os dias de trabalho. Ademais, estudos revelam que ter problemas relacionados ao sono ou trabalhar em períodos noturnos são fatores de risco para DM (11,28) .…”

“…Autores apontam que a obesidade possui relação importante com o quadro de DM. O aumento de peso, juntamente com o acúmulo de tecido adiposo na região abdominal, resulta em inúmeras alterações fisiológicas que podem impactar de forma negativa na saúde dos trabalhadores (11,12) . O presente estudo é justificado pela necessidade em estimar os fatores associados às alterações glicêmicas no trabalhador feirante, visto que a transição epidemiológica trouxe mudanças nos padrões de saúde/doença, resultando no aumento das doenças crônicas, dentre elas, a DM.…”

Objetivo: analisar os fatores associados às alterações do padrão glicêmico em trabalhadores feirantes.Método: estudo epidemiológico, do tipo inquérito com 399 trabalhadores. A coleta de dados ocorreu entre janeiro e março de 2018, com aplicação de questionário sociodemográfico, de estilo de vida, trabalho e saúde, condições de trabalho e de saúde, testes sanguíneos de dosagem de glicemia e aferição de peso e altura. A análise envolveu cálculos de frequências e teste do Quiquadrado (nível de significância de 95%).Resultados: a frequência encontrada de alterações glicêmicas foi de 9,8%. Faixa etária (p<0,001), escolaridade (p<0,001), prática de atividade física (p=0,033), índice de massa corporal (p=0,050), uso de medicações (p<0,001) e multimorbidade (p<0,001) apresentaram associação com alterações glicêmicas.Conclusão: Faixa etária, escolaridade, prática de atividade física, índice de massa corporal, fazer uso de medicações periodicamente e relatar multimorbidade são variáveis que possuem fatores associados para desenvolvimento de alterações glicêmicas em feirantes.

“…23 The consequent benefits on mental health influence quality of life with direct consequences to the lifestyle-related chronic health diseases. A powerful cross-sectional study by Borhanuddin et al, 2018 24 researched among 105,391 Malaysian adults in 20 job sectors consolidated this assertion. The nationwide study found T2DM prevalence was highest accommodation and food service activities with unemployed/ homemaker emerged as the single job sector with the highest prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia.…”

“…The nationwide study found T2DM prevalence was highest accommodation and food service activities with unemployed/ homemaker emerged as the single job sector with the highest prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia. 24 Employment illuminates the biopsychosocial framework of health determinants which explain the prevalent of T2DM in this community. Therefore, our findings suggest the holistic prevention strategies against T2DM need to depart from approach that transgress beyond just health and education, but also the economy.…”

Awareness of the dietary fibre intake (DF) and its importance in prevention and management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among rural people is seldom reported in Malaysia. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of DF intake and their association with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among rural people in Terengganu, Malaysia. A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out among the households in Kampung Jati, Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, Malaysia from 29th December 2019 until 20th February 2020. The village has 524 houses, the data was collected from all available and eligible subjects in each household by completed socio-demographic, validated KAP on DF intake questionnaire, as well as a 24-hour dietary recall using a self-administered questionnaire. In our study of 396 respondents, 208 (52.5%) were men. The mean age of participants was 37.85 (15.13). Most of the subjects were Malay 384 (97.0%), employed 207 (52.3%) and 274 (69.2%) attained high level of education (from tertiary school level). However, only 170 (42.9%) had a high family income which was of >RM 3860 per month. Out of 396 respondents, 157 (39.6%) of them had family history of diabetes mellitus. Respondents had moderate knowledge (39.1%), positive attitude (88.1%) and good practice (59.3%) scores towards DF intake. Among the respondents, only 39.1% of total respondents knew the nationally recommended amount of daily fibre intake which is of 20-30 grams per day. With multivariable analysis using multiple logistic regression, the analysis results revealed that age (adjusted OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.08, 1.15; p <0.001), having family history of T2DM (adjusted OR: 6.81, 95% CI: 2.75, 16.84; p <0.001) and having total attitude scores (adjusted OR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.76, 0.93; p <0.001) were found to be adjusted significant associated factors of T2DM among the respondents after controlling confounders. Public health authorities should raise awareness on health benefit of consuming dietary fibre to promote an increase in consumption which can help in prevention and management of chronic diseases among rural population of Malaysia.

The use of photoplethysmography (PPG) as one of cardiovascular disease (CVD) marker has got more attention due to its simplicity, noninvasive and portable characteristics. Two new markers had been developed from PPG namely PPG fitness index (PPGF) and vascular risk prediction index (VPRI). The aim of the present study was to compare PPGF level between young women with and without CVD risk factors, to investigate the relationship between PPGF with other CVD markers and to assess the sensitivity of VRPI in classifying young women that have CVD risk factors. A total of 148 young women aged 20-40 years old with and without CVD risk factors were involved in this study. CVD risk factors comprised of abdominal obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking and family history of premature CVD. Subjects were categorized into healthy or having CVD risk factor. Measurements taken were anthropometric data, blood pressure, lipid profile, pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AIx), high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), PPGF and VRPI. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis with p<0.05 as significant value. The mean subjects' age was 29.97±5.27 years old. There was no difference in PPGF level between groups (p>0.05). PPGF was independently determined by PWV (β=-0.31, p<0.001) and height (β=0.16, p=0.04). VRPI had 77.9% sensitivity in identifying subjects with CVD risk factor. In conclusion, PPGF correlates with PWV and has potential to be an indicator of aortic stiffness while VRPI is sensitive to classify those with CVD risk factor.
