“…Health-EDRM concerns the analysis and management of health risks through reduction in hazard, exposure and vulnerability in every phase of the disaster management cycle [14]. Resilience-building is a key concept for minimizing the health risks of older people and chronic disease patients, and could be built through empowerment initiatives to improve their health outcomes.…”

People with existing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are particularly vulnerable to health risks brought upon by emergencies and disasters, yet limited research has been conducted on disease management and the implications of Health-EDRM policies that address health vulnerabilities of people with NCDs during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper reports the baseline findings of an anonymous, random, population-based, 6-month cohort study that aimed to examine the experiences of people with NCDs and their relevant self-care patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 765 telephone interviews were completed from 22nd March to 1st April 2020 in Hong Kong, China. The dataset was representative of the population, with 18.4% of subjects reporting at least one NCD. Results showed that low household income and residence in government-subsidized housing were significant predictors for the subjects who experienced difficulty in managing during first 2 months of the pandemic (11% of the NCD patients). Of those on long-term NCD medication, 10% reported having less than one week’s supply of medication. Targeted services for vulnerable groups during a pandemic should be explored to support NCD self-care.

“…Diabetes and high blood pressure are part of highly chronic metabolic diseases, posing a major public health problem globally. 1 Their almost symmetrical or equitable distribution makes them prevalent in both developed and developing countries. According to the WHO, 2020, chronic diseases accounted for 60% of deaths, with 80% of deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) occurring in low-or middle-income countries.…”

Diabetes and high blood pressure are severe chronic metabolic diseases with significant global public health implications. To explore the medicinal plants used by the Moroccan population for treating diabetes and hypertension, a prospective study was conducted through ethnobotanical surveys at various locations, including hospitals and health centers in the cities of Tanger-Tétouan using a semi-structured questionnaire. The study findings indicated that out of the 45 plants mentioned (belonging to 19 different families dominated by the Lamiaceae) by the participants in the ethnobotanical survey, 32 were reported to have anti-diabetic properties. Among these, the most commonly used by diabetic subjects were Olea europaea L. (RFC = 16,71%), followed by Trigonella foenum-graecum L., Origanum compactum Bentham and Artemisia herba alba Assac. Additionally, 24 plants were identified as having hypotensive effects. The most popular among them were Olea europaea var. sativa, Trigonella foenumgraecum L., Allium sativum L. and Origanum compactum Bentham. Interestingly, eleven plants were found to be used for both diabetes and hypertension treatment, including Olea europaea var. sativa, Trigonella foenum-graecum L., Origanum compactum Bentham, Rosmarinus officinalis L., Nigella sativa L., Ajuga iva (L.) Schreb, Pistacia lentiscus L., Juniperus phoenicea L., Eugenia caryophyllata L., Arbutus unedo L., and Centaurium erythraea Rafn. Aerial parts of the plants were most commonly used, and the preparation methods mostly involved infusion and decoction. This study holds significant importance for conserving traditional knowledge related to antidiabetic and antihypertensive plants, while also raising the prospect of further scientific research in this field.

Design: Health issues throughout the sustainable development goals have also been integrated into one ultimate goal, which helps to ensure a healthy lifestyle as well as enhances well-being for any and all human beings of all social level. Meanwhile, regarding the clime change, we may take urgent action to its impacts. Purpose: Nowadays, climate change makes it much more difficult to control the pattern of diseases transmitted and sometimes hard to prevent. In line with this, Centres for Disease Control (CDC) Taiwan grouped the spread of disease through its source in the first six main groups. Those are food or waterborne, airborne or droplet, vector-borne, sexually transmitted or blood-borne, contact transmission, and miscellaneous. According to this, academics, government, and the private sector should work together and collaborate to maintain the health issue. This article examines and connects the climate and communicable aspects towards Penta-Helix in Taiwan. Finding: In summary, we have been addressing the knowledge center on the number of private companies throughout the health care sector, the number of healthcare facilities, and the education institutions widely recognized as Penta Helix. In addition, we used hierarchical likelihood structural equation modeling (HSEMs). All the relationship variables among climate, communicable disease, and Penta Helix can be interpreted through the latent variables with GoF 79.24%.
