“…Suksatan 22 also found that the perceived benefits of adopting HPBs influenced the HPBs of people at risk of hypertension in a rural Thai community (β = 0.402; p < 0.001). Additionally, perceived self-efficacy is a significant factor influencing HPBs and can predict the health outcomes of hospitalization and the quality of life of patients with NCDs (eg, diabetes, 32 hypertension, 33 heart failure, 34 and COPD 35 ).…”

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the health-related behaviors of patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Thus, the factors predicting the health-promoting behaviors (HPBs) of hospitalized patients with NCDs during the second wave of COVID-19 should be examined. Objective The aims of this study were to determine the relationships among the patients’ characteristics, perceived self-efficacy, social support, perception of the benefits of and barriers, and HPBs, and to determine the predictive factors of HPBs among hospitalized patients with NCDs during the second wave of COVID-19. Patients and Methods The study had a cross-sectional predictive correlational design and included 250 patients with NCDs 18 years of age or older hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Thailand. Descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, the Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple linear regression were used for data analysis. Results Most of the participants had a cardiovascular disease (34.0%). Followed by diabetes (28.8%), cancer (11.2%), hypertension (10.0%), heart disease (9.6%), or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (6.4%) and had a moderate level of overall HPBs (M = 106.09; SD = 4.66). Among the six components of the HPBs, the participants achieved the moderate levels in nutrition, interpersonal relations, spiritual growth, and stress management, and low levels in physical-activity and health responsibility. The patients’ perception of the benefits and barriers to the adoption of HPBs and perceived self-efficacy and social support were able to predict their HPBs, accounting for approximately 38.0% of the variance of such behaviors. Conclusion On the basis of our study’s results, we suggest that researchers, multidisciplinary teams, the government, and policymakers establish effective interventions, guidelines, and policies for the development of HPBs to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19 particularly among patients with NCDs, and to improve their capacity for high-quality and continuing self-care.

“…The multiple regression results are shown in Table S2 of Supporting Information. The indicator “ t stat” is the testing statistic of the t -test, whose absolute value can be used as the basis for judging the order of importance of factors . It can be clearly seen from Table S2 that the importance of factors is in the order of hydrocalumite > tobermorite > analcime > others > katoite.…”

Fly ash (FA) produced during municipal solid waste incineration contains hazardous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Hydrothermal treatment (HT), a promising technology for the degradation of organic compounds, was applied in this study for hydrothermal detoxification of PAHs in FA. Due to different levels of Ca/(Si + Al) and Al/(Si + Al) molar ratios achieved by adjusting the SiO2 and Al2O3 added to FA, different kinds of aluminosilicate minerals were formed and different detoxification efficiencies of PAHs were observed in HT products. For aluminosilicate minerals formed at lower (0.17) and moderate (0.51) Al/(Si + Al) ratio levels, tobermorite was obtained and it enhanced with the decrease of Ca/(Si + Al) ratio levels. At higher Al/(Al + Si) ratio levels of 0.71, tobermorite cannot be synthesized completely even when the Ca/(Si + Al) ratio for FA-30-3 (1.01) was low and in the suitable range for tobermorite formation (0.67–1.20). Compared with the Ca/(Si + Al) ratio, the Al/(Si + Al) ratio not only affected the synthesis of tobermorite but also had much more significant influence on both the removal percentage of the concentration of PAHs and the removal percentage of the toxicity equivalent quality (TEQ) of PAHs. Attributing to the fact that tobermorite cannot be synthesized at higher Al/(Al + Si) ratio levels of 0.71, the weakest detoxification efficiency of PAHs was observed. When tobermorite was effectively synthesized in FA-30-1, for which both the Ca/(Al + Si) and Al/(Al + Si) ratios were in the suitable range for tobermorite formation [Ca/(Al + Si) ratio = 0.67–1.20 and Al/(Al + Si) ratio = 0–0.22], the best detoxification efficiency of PAHs was achieved. The formation of tobermorite affected by the Ca–Si–Al element proportion during the HT process has a positive effect on the detoxification of PAHs in FA. The results of regression analysis performed for investigating the relationship between the content of minerals formed and the detoxification efficiency of PAHs showed that the formation of tobermorite is helpful to promote the detoxification of PAHs but the existence of hydrocalumite reduced the detoxification. Compared with the Ca/(Si + Al) ratio, the Al/(Si + Al) ratio has more significant influence on the formation of tobermorite and hydrocalumite.

“…Snack foods intake has recently been emphasized as a potentially unhealthy eating habit [ 6 ]. Intake of energy-dense nutrient poor snacks from 1 serving per day to ≥ 2 serving per week, which are high in simple sugars, sodium, saturated and trans fatty acids, impose individuals to a higher risk of CVD and MetS [ 7 ]. Additionally, a 20% increase in the frequency of snacks intake was associated with weight gain and dysglycemia [ 8 ], and metabolically unhealthy obese subjects had a higher frequency of salty snacks, compared with metabolically healthy obese subjects [ 9 ].…”

Background Intake of snack foods has been previously associated with an elevated risk of chronic disease; however, studies on snack foods and metabolic syndrome (MetS) while considering the modifying effect of socioeconomic status (SES) and lifestyle factors on this association are lacking. We aimed to investigate the association between snack foods intake and the MetS risk, and the mediatory effects of SES and lifestyle factors on the forenamed association among adults who participated in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (2006–2018). Methods This is a prospective study of 1915 participants (male, 40.5%), aged 19–74 year who were free of MetS at baseline. Dietary intakes were gathered using a validated, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire at baseline (2006–2008), and with 3-year intervals afterwards. Alternative approach was used for snack foods from all available questionnaires during follow-up. Snack foods were divided into 4 categories, including total snacks, biscuits and cakes, candies and chocolate, and salty snacks. Total snack foods intake and its subgroup (serving/week) were modeled as tertiles. MetS was diagnosed according to the Joint Interim Statement criteria. Physical activity level (PAL) categorized as low/medium and high levels. Information regarding smoking (Smoker/Non-smoker), education (higher/lower education), and occupation (employed/non-employed) was gathered using questionnaire. The Cox regression was used, regarding interaction between snack foods, SES, and PAL on the MetS risk. Results A total of 591 incident MetS cases were diagnosed during 8.9 years of follow-up. The median total snack foods intake was 5.2 serving/week (IQR: 3.0–9.1). Total snack foods intake was positively associated with the MetS risk after adjusting for potential confounders (adjusted for age and gender, energy intake, total fiber intake, smoking status, PAL, education levels, family history of diabetes, family history of CVD events, and BMI). After adjustment for confounders, among snacks’ subgroups, candies and chocolate intake was positively associated with MetS risk. Moreover, among lower-educated and non-employed participants, candies and chocolate intake was positively associated with the MetS risk, by 38 and 43% respectively. Stratification based on PAL resulted a positive association between intake of total snack foods and candies and chocolates and risk of MetS among participants with low PAL. Conclusion Snack foods, especially candies and chocolate, increased the risk of MetS, among individuals with a low PAL.
