“…Therefore, there is already evidence that m-Health technology is effective in controlling some diseases, in addition to having good acceptance by users, which favors the implementation of this strategy in primary health care. In addition, it can increase resolution and impact health with a positive effect on lifestyle modification, through health practices and the establishment of a preventive care channel [20]. In this study, we identified a good acceptance regarding usefulness, clarity and followup, a result similar to that found in other studies [8,10].…”

Objective Evaluate the effectiveness of mHealth strategy on sodium consumption markers. Methods Intervention study carried out with 175 adults (20-59 years), from an educational institution of Vitória, Espírito Santo State. Participants were made aware through posters, oral approach and electronic media. Anthropometric, hemodynamic, socioeconomic, health, and dietary practices data was collected in two stages. After the first assessment, participants were randomized into two groups: Intervention Group and Control Group. The Intervention Group included 21 electronic messages and 3 videos on healthy eating focusing on the goal to reduce sodium intake for 3 months. Behavioral changes were assessed using the Generalized Estimation Equation (p-value <0.05). Results At baseline, no significant differences in socioeconomic, anthropometric and health variables, and eating practices between groups were observed. The stock broth cube was the most used ready processed seasoning. After the intervention, a reduction in the use of stock broth was observed only in the intervention group (β=0.615; p=0.016). In addition, 73% of the intervention group participants reported that the messages were clear, 67% reported that they were useful, and 48% stated they followed the guidelines. Conclusion There was a reduction in the frequency of use of stock broth cubes, demonstrating the potential effect of the m-Health strategy on sodium consumption markers in individuals without a hypertension medical diagnosis.

“…To date, ACE screenings are uncommonly incorporated in primary care protocols, let alone cardiovascular clinical prevention practices, leaving the field with a dearth of implementation guidance and recommendations [ 55 , 56 ]. Screening for ACEs and other health risks is especially germane to the present study’s target population (i.e., young adults), given low rates of primary care utilization and increased rates of high-risk behaviors [ 57 , 58 ]. Recent data show that young adults generally have a significant cardiovascular health risk resulting from heightened stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, decreased physical activity, and increased tobacco, alcohol, and drug use [ 59 ].…”

“…Recent data show that young adults generally have a significant cardiovascular health risk resulting from heightened stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, decreased physical activity, and increased tobacco, alcohol, and drug use [ 59 ]. Compounding these known health risks is the deficient “transition of care” process from pediatric to adult medicine for young adults [ 57 , 60 ]. As a result, many young adults do not receive age-appropriate screening or anticipatory guidance promoting healthy behaviors that may prevent chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease [ 57 , 61 ].…”

Background: Heart disease is the fourth leading cause of death for young adults aged 18–34 in the United States. Recent research suggests that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may shape cardiovascular health and its proximate antecedents. In the current study, we draw on a contemporary, national sample to examine the association between ACEs and cardiovascular health among young adults in the United States, as well as potential mediating pathways. Methods: The present study uses data from the 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to examine associations between ACEs and cardiovascular risk, as well as the role of cumulative disadvantage and poor mental health in these associations. Results: Findings indicate that young adults who have experienced a greater number of ACEs have a higher likelihood of having moderate to high cardiovascular risk compared to those who have zero or few reported ACEs. Moreover, both poor mental health and cumulative disadvantage explain a significant proportion of this association. Conclusions: The present findings suggest that young adulthood is an appropriate age for deploying prevention efforts related to cardiovascular risk, particularly for young adults reporting high levels of ACEs.

Maslow’s theory for preventive healthcare in India – a content analysis approach

Purpose The purpose of the study was to apply Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to understand consumer motivation for preventive health care in India using content analysis. Design/methodology/approach Content analysis approach which is a qualitative-based approach was adopted. The responses were collected through semi-structured interviews using purposeful sampling method, and the responses were analyzed using content analysis approach. Sub themes and main themes were derived from the data which related to concepts in Maslow’s theory. Findings The results indicate the following: healthy food, healthy diet and health supplements are the basic need; sustainability of health and fitness and health security relate to safety and security need; feeling of pride in being fit, being a role model of fitness for others and influence of electronic media relate to social and self-esteem need; freedom from disease and peace of mind fulfill the need for self-actualization. Research limitations/implications To strengthen the external validity, a mix of alternate research methodologies adopting qualitative and quantitative approach need to be adopted. Practical implications This study will help to better understand motivation for preventive health care. It will enable health-care companies to design health-care marketing programs based on Maslow’s theory to motivate individuals to purchase health products. The public health-care departments can issue guidelines based on Maslow’s theory to motivate citizens toward preventive health care. Originality/value Maslow’s theory was applied in the context of preventive health care.
