“…Family history of diabetes and high cholesterol were significantly correlated with the participants’ BMI. The literature shows that family history of CDL can increase the likelihood of developing a CDL or its risk factors [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. A survey among university students in Colombia reported a similar finding, with an association between a family background of excess weight and obesity [ 39 ].…”

This study assesses the fruit and vegetable consumption patterns and risk factors for chronic diseases of lifestyle (CDL) among young adults attending Kenyatta University, Kenya. Four hundred and twenty-three young adults aged 19–30 years participated in the cross-sectional study. Males were 75.0% less likely to be overweight than females (OR = 0.25; 0.13–0.47). The mean overall consumption of fruit and/or vegetables amounted to 3.6 servings in a typical day. Eight in ten participants consumed lower amounts of fruits and vegetables than recommended by the WHO. At least one combined risk factor of CDL was observed among 91.3% of the young adults. About 8.7% of the participants were classified as low risk for CDL (having none of the five risk factors), 48.9% had one risk factor, 32.9% had two risk factors, 8.5% had three risk factors, while 0.9% had four risk factors. A significant relationship between daily fruit consumption and waist circumference was observed. These findings show the dire need to develop public health nutrition activities aimed at increasing the intake of fruit and vegetables and sensitizing young adults, and the general population, to the risk factors of CDL.

Summary Purpose Simultaneous incremental and revolutionary systems change is a norm for many health care organisations. Organisational redesign, incorporating physical redevelopments and technological innovations, drives revolutionary transformations. Redesigning health facilities provides opportunities for improving and sustaining safe, high‐quality patient care. There is a need for the creation of knowledge, based on empirical research, to inform how to effectively plan, implement, and evaluate health organisational redesign, underpinned by co‐production principles. Findings Using an Australian case study, we identify and discuss the opportunities and challenges, aligned with safety and quality requirements, to undertake redesign projects. Through an analysis of redesign and governance accountabilities, we identify five key foci for health leaders, and their communities, to plan, implement and evaluate organisational redesign. Conclusion By rebuilding and engaging with patients and consumers to organise, manage and deliver care, the redesign process allows us to change thoughts, values, and behaviours to achieve better patient outcomes.

Internationally, organisations are undertaking large scale facility redevelopment as a strategy for the transformation of care systems. Redeveloping facilities provides a once in a generation opportunity to transform health service delivery, typically, however, system level changes are poorly understood. To address this gap, our aim was to investigate the empirical knowledge base regarding large scale redevelopment of healthcare facilities. A scoping review was undertaken, guided by the redeveloped health service management (HSM) scoping review framework (HSM-SRF). Across 17 articles, five key concepts were identified, and they form the principles for successful redevelopment. First, establish a strong governance framework integrating diverse expertise and evidence base. Second, engage with internal and external stakeholders to build effectual relationships. Third, consult with end users, including clinicians and patients, to encourage the acceptance of the redevelopment and actively manage stakeholder dynamics, including politics and power undercurrents. Fourth, commit appropriate resources, including time, workforce, technology and finance to ensure redevelopment success. Finally, reimagine workflows through consultation with end users, including staff and consumers, allowing them to conceptualise how the space will be utilised. This scoping review is the first to synthesise the empirical knowledge base of the redevelopment of healthcare facilities.

The effect of chronic disease family history on the adoption of healthier lifestyles

Abstract: Recommendations towards healthier lifestyles are not followed by individuals with history of CD, at least in what concerns obesity measures. Our study suggests reducing obesity as a major target for interventions in these groups of individuals.
