“…This result has been provided by the research conducted by Fernandez et al among Asian Indians living in Australia [26], which raised awareness on the subject of coronary heart disease risk, or research by Anthony et al [27] on the lifestyles of ethnic groups. However, further research will be necessary, which should focus on diseases of the cardiovascular system among Catholics and SDA as well as other religious or ethnic groups.…”

On the basis of BMI, overweight and obesity were ascertained in a somewhat greater percentage of Catholics than Adventists, and on the basis of waist circumference, android obesity was found to be more common in Catholics than in Adventists. Conclusions. Based on the SCORE scale, the risk of a cardiovascular event was significantly higher in Catholics than in Adventists.

“…The main behavioral risk factors of non-contagious diseases include smoking, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and alcohol consumption and physiological risk factors for these diseases include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and overweight or obese [1] . A global outbreak of CVDs relates to lifestyle risk factors such as smoking, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and alcohol consumption [10,11] . A study examining taking care of risk factors for non-contagious diseases has studied 5 risk factors, including daily smoking, low intake of fruits and vegetables, inactivity, overweight and obesity, and high blood pressure among people aged 15 to 64 years old in its last review around the country in 2009; This study indicated that 96.7% of people have at least one risk factor for CVDs and 21.64% of people aged 15 to 44 years old and 52.9% of people aged 45 to 64 years old have at least 3 risk factors out of 5 risk factors for CVDs; in other words, they are at high risk [3] .…”

Aims Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the main causes of death and have the first place among other diseases throughout the world. Studying the situation of risk factors for CVDs seems necessary in Iran at various periods. The aim of this study was to determine risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among the employees of Ilam University of Medical Sciences in order to design appropriate educational interventions. Instruments & Methods In this descriptive cross-sectional study, which was conducted in 2017, 294 employees of Ilam University of Medical Sciences participated after presenting written consent forms. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire was designed and applied after verifying the validity and reliability (Cronbach's alpha greater than 0.8). Eventually, the data were analyzed, using SPSS 16 and appropriate statistical methods. Findings Generally, 46.3% of the participants had a history of CVDs, 21.8% had a h...

“…The livelihood and lifestyle of rural communities of Africa are quite synonymous. These similitudes could be found in aspects such as festivals, customs and farming practices, which are predominantly the subsistence mode of farming (Anthony et al, 2012;Nussbaum, 2003;Bigombe & Khadiagala, 2004). Farming was the main source of livelihood amongst several rural communities of Africa in the 60's.…”

The once thriving subsistence farming community of Machibini is currently defunct due to water shortages, inadequacy of governmental support and better livelihood in urban communities. This community alongside its neighbouring communities is characterized by poverty. A variety of strategies and initiatives has been initiated to address the cyclical poverty amongst these communities. This paucity has driven the youths to urban centres as a means of securing a better livelihood. More so, the constant ebb of mass rural-urban migration has created voluminous challenges. As an agendum to creating a viable farming community in Machibini and “instigating an urban-rural migration”, the paper recommends the reallocation of the surplus budgets of this community to the investment of water resource management as a strategy of transforming the subsistence into commercial farming, thereby creating employment opportunities for the unemployed rural, as well as urban dwellers, while reducing poverty to a reasonable extent.
