Median (IQR) prevalence of T2DM, HTN, dyslipidemia and smoking were 5.9% (1.97%-8.25%); 15.1% (10.52%-17.60%); 34.35% (10.66%-48.50%) and 40.56% (0.80%-55.95%), respectively. The prevalence of T2DM and dyslipidemia were significantly higher in urban compared to rural populations (13.5 vs 6%, p<0.001; 41.5 vs 30%, p = 0.007, respectively). Conclusions: The prevalence of risk factors for CVDs is high in Bangladesh, more so in urban areas. Ageing of the population may be a factor but urbanization seems to have an influence, possibly related to changes in dietary and physical activity patterns. Further research, in particular longitudinal studies, is needed to explore the complex interaction of these factors and to inform policies and programs for the prevention and management of CVDs in Bangladesh.]]> Wed 23 Feb 2022 16:05:17 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:22667 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:18:05 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:9557 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:57:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:25988 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:52:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27665 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:19:59 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:16823 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:11:57 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:25057 Wed 09 Mar 2022 15:59:38 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:36079 5 times daily during their first pregnancy at greater risk of having a stillbirth (aOR 5.89; 95% CI 1.70, 20.3) than less frequent users (aOR 1.67; 95% CI 0.65, 4.29). Estimates were robust to extreme assumptions about missing exposure data. Discussion and Conclusions: STC during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of stillbirth. This finding adds to the urgency of need for smokeless tobacco control strategies to be implemented in South Asia.]]> Thu 06 Feb 2020 11:09:08 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:10473 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:09:16 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20893 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:52 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26831 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28266 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:35 AEDT ]]>
