Objective
To investigate and analyze the health-promoting lifestyle and its influencing factors in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in Shenzhen, to provide scientific basis for preventing and controlling the occurrence and development of IGT.
Methods
By using the convenience sample method, a total of 90 patients who were diagnosed with IGT during medical examination in VIP& Health Center from January to June 2015 were investigated with health-promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP) and general information profile.
Results
The total score of lifestyle was (133.94±22.75) points, and the average score of total items was (2.58±0.44) points; differences of HPLP score in patients with different age, educational level, marriage, occupation, income and body mass index (BMI) were significant (χ2=3.017, 2.220, 3.529, 2.341, 2.341, 3.017; P<0.01).
Conclusions
The health-promoting lifestyle of IGT patients was in a good level, IGT patients who are <45 years old, below college degree, enterprise managers, annual income≥250, 000 yuan, BMI≥25 kg/m2, their HPLP level was rather lower, and they should develop good exercise habits, as well as prevent and control the occurrence and development of IGT and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, in order to reduce microvascular and macrovascular complications, and enhance their overall living quality.

INTRODUCTION: Overweight, hyperglycaemia and hypertension are risk factors for development of cardiovascular diseases that have the highest mortality and morbidity rates among noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) globally. The aim of this study was to examine the health-promoting lifestyle behaviour that determine risk factors for Noncommunicable diseases among university employees in Nigeria.
METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among university employees in Nigeria. Data were collected from 280 employees in the university by means of a questionnaire that consisted of three sections. Collected data were analysed using IBM-SPSS version 25.
RESULTS: Good physical activity lifestyle behaviour (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.1, 95% CI: [1.1–3.9]) and good health responsibility lifestyle behaviour (aOR = 2.4, 95% CI: [1.2–4.9]) were statistically significant predictors of normal body mass index. Also, good health-promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP) (aOR = 3.1, 95% CI: [1.3–7.6]) was a statistically significant predictor of normal waist–hip ratio. However, there is no statistically significant relationship between HPLP and random blood sugar or between HPLP and blood pressure.
CONCLUSION: The findings from the study reveal that good health-promoting lifestyle behaviour especially health responsibility, physical activity and stress management behaviour are determinant of overweight and obesity which are major risk factors for development of cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes and some form of cancer. Hence, to reduce the risk of developing noncommunicable diseases, there is a need to develop an intervention to improve university employee’s health-promoting lifestyle.

Aim: The authors assessed the predictors of success of a lifestyle intervention (weight loss ≥ 5% and improved glucose tolerance) in individuals at high risk for type 2 diabetes in a 1-year follow-up in a primary health care setting. Methods: High-risk individuals for type 2 diabetes were identified by opportunistic screening in the implementation of the Finnish National Diabetes Prevention Program (FIN-D2D). All together, 3880 individuals participated in the 1-year follow-up. Sociodemographic characteristics, health status and behavior, family history of diabetes, clinical factors, and health care provider were considered possible predictors of lifestyle intervention success. Results: In sum, 19.3% of individuals lost at least 5% of weight, and 32.6% with abnormal glucose tolerance at baseline showed improvement in glucose tolerance. Abnormal glucose tolerance was the strongest predictor of weight loss and improvement in glucose tolerance. High attendance at lifestyle intervention visits, being outside of labor force, and high body mass index at baseline were also related to weight loss, and high education was related to improvement in glucose tolerance. Conclusions: In “real-life settings,” glucose tolerance status, number of intervention visits, employment status, education, and body mass index explained the success of lifestyle intervention. These factors may help in targeting interventions, although they may not be generalized to other cultural settings.

Background: Lifestyle diseases like hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease (CAD), type –II diabetes mellitus, ischemic stroke are Non -communicable diseases leading to premature sickness, disability and death. To determine the risk factors of lifestyle diseases like hypertension and diabetes mellitus and to impart health education on the risk factors of lifestyle diseases and to determine the impact of health education.Methods: A educational interventional study was conducted in a randomly selected urban slum in Peelamedu, Coimbatore funded by ICMR STS.100 Men in the age group of 30-50 years were administered questionnaire to determine the risk factors of lifestyle diseases. Health education was given to the respondents regarding risk factors. The same questionnaire was given to the respondents after the health education to determine the impact of health education. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS version 20. Prevalence of risk factors was presented in percentage. Paired T test was used to find out the effectiveness of Health Education.Results: Among the study population, the risk factors for life style diseases in our study are smoking (39%), alcohol intake (27%), lack of physical activity (40%), overweight (36%), obesity (14%). The impact of health education on risk factors of lifestyle disease and it was statistically significant with smoking (p=.000), alcohol (p=.02), physical activity (p=.001) and not significant with BMI (p=.71).Conclusions: Regular health checks can be done to improve the frequency of preventive care and support for behavior change. Effective implementation of lifestyle modifications behavior like healthy diet intake, avoidance of high caloric foods, promoting physical activity help in preventing future complications as a part of primary preventive strategies at primary care level. The importance of lifestyle modifications should be reinforced.

This correlational study is to explore the relationship between the health value and lifestyle of the diabetes mellitus(DM) patients. The findings can provide a presupportive evidence to develop health educational programs in order to enhance the DM patients' quality of life. Method:A random sampling of 72 type 2 DM patients was used in this study. Results:Health value: Most of the subjects (54.2%) reported their perceived health value within a high level. Almost 61.1% of the subjects reported their lifestyle at a good level. Lifestyle: 52.8% of the subjects perceived their nutrition at an excellent level. 22.2% of the subjects reported their exercise at a poor level. There was a highly positive correlative relationship between the health value and lifestyle of DM patients ( r = 0.8386 , P 0.001), which demonstrated that the higher health value level, the more healthy lifestyle would be. Therefore, improving DM patients' health value can promote the healthy lifestyle of them, and delay complications of diabetes.

Introduction: Health care workers are mentors to general populations for a healthy life. Life style disorders are not just limited to the general population but even the doctors and nurses who guide them on their prevention are also getting victimized. The current study was carried out to collect the data on the lifestyle-associated disorders among health professionals in India. Objectives: The aim was to assess the prevalence and associated risk factors (modifiable and non-modifiable) of lifestyle disorders among Health professionals. Materials and Methods: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study carried out in a secondary level/block level hospital of north-west Delhi. A study tool based on the World Health Organization (WHO) STEPS questionnaire for assessing non-communicable diseases and their risk factors was used. Fasting venous blood sample was collected to assess the lipid profile and fasting blood sugar. Anthropometric measurements of the participants were also taken. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 17. Results: Of the total 100 participants who consented to participate, 60% were females and 40% were males. The prevalence of diabetes and hypertension among health professionals were 5% and 10%, respectively. There were 52 participants who had abnormal waist-hip ratio. According to the WHO classification for Asians, 42% were overweight, while 22% were found to be obese. Alcohol intake (P=0.005), gender (P=0.00), occupation (P=0.018), total cholesterol levels (P=0.038), and triglycerides levels (P=0.046) had a significant association with waist-hip ratio, whereas alcohol intake (P=0.01), hypertension (P=0.05), moderate intensity sports (P=0.025) were significantly associated with body mass index. Conclusions: The prevalence of risk factors for lifestyle diseases was high among the health professionals. Thus, there is a need to motivate them to practice healthy lifestyle for prevention against lifestyle diseases and that they can advocate their patients.

BACKGROUND: Inadequate lifestyle practices among individuals with diabetes may influence the progression of diabetes and its complications. The aim of this study was to assess the lifestyle practices among individuals with diabetes in Sudan.METHODOLOGY: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, health facility-based study conducted in 3 diabetes centers treating individuals with diabetes. The data were collected using a standardized pretested metabolic questionnaire about lifestyle and were analyzed by performing descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS program version 23.RESULTS: A total of 528 patients with diabetes answered the questionnaire. There were 52.1% of female participants and 72.9% of urban residents. 23.9% were obese, regular exercise was reported by 27.7%, and no exercise by 17%. There was a statistically significant association between lifestyle practices and gender (P < 0.001), age (P < 0.001), educational level (P = 0.002), marital status (P < 0.001), duration of diabetes (P < 0.001), hypertension (P < 0.001), high-density lipoprotein (P < 0.001), low-density lipoprotein (P < 0.001), and HbA1c level (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed male gender and education were significantly associated with lifestyle changes. Men were more likely to engage in favorable lifestyle practices than women (P < 0.001), while those with no formal education were less likely to engage in healthy lifestyle (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Health authorities in Sudan will need to put more efforts into education for promoting self-awareness and good lifestyle practices in the population with diabetes.
