  English, Scientific journal, This study investigated the behavioral risk factors for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and their association with body weight misperception among urban Vietnamese adolescents over 3 years. The cohort comprised 457 secondary school students (mean age: 11.59 ± 0.34 at baseline, 47.4% girls) who took questionnaires and underwent anthropometric measurements. Behavioral risk scores of factors, like smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, low fruit and vegetable intake, fast food and carbonated drink consumption, and sedentary behavior, were calculated. Multivariable linear regression assessed associations with behavior risk scores as well as other regressors that modify the association between weight misperception and behavior risk scores. Physical inactivity was the most prevalent risk factor, and there was a notable increase in fast food and carbonated drink consumption, followed by sedentary behavior and alcohol consumption, during the 3-year follow-up. Almost 80% of the students exhibited at least two risk factors, and 49.3% misperceived their body weight status at baseline, with males being more inclined to underestimate but less prone to overestimate than females. Compared with those accurately perceiving their weight, higher behavioral risk scores were reported in those who underestimated their weight (β = 0.110, 95% confidence interval: 0.021-0.446, p < 0.05). These findings underscore the rising prevalence of behavioral risk factors among Vietnamese secondary school students, emphasizing the potential benefits of school-based interventions targeting accurate body weight perception for both sexes in mitigating the risk factors for multiple NCDs.

  Scientific journal, Background
  
  Since 2021, Afghanistan has faced a worsening humanitarian crisis that disproportionately impacts Afghan women and children. They experience inequities in healthcare access, deterioration of healthcare quality and extreme food insecurity. This study aims to fill an important gap by providing consensus on research priorities for maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH), sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and nutrition in Afghanistan.
  
  Methods
  
  The Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) is a widely used research prioritisation methodology that crowdsources input from subject matter experts to generate, score and rank research questions. This study reached out to 303 Afghanistan health researchers, who were identified through relevant publications, to align on the 20 highest priority MNCH, SRH and nutrition research questions. Question generation occurred in 2022, and data collection and analysis were completed by January 2025.
  
  Results
  
  The CHNRI exercise had 81 respondents, of which 53% were of Afghan origin. The 20 highest priority research questions for MNCH, SRH and nutrition in Afghanistan were mostly description and delivery questions in MNCH and nutrition topic areas. The top questions ranged from characterising the availability, access and quality of MNCH services, to leveraging locally available interventions for malnutrition and food security, to strategies for increasing immunisation coverage.
  
  Conclusion
  
  By identifying high-priority research questions, donors, researchers, implementers and governments can align their research agendas and resource allocation to address critical health challenges for women and children in Afghanistan.

  Scientific journal, Introduction
  
  Afghanistan’s health system has faced considerable challenges since the Taliban takeover in 2021, leaving the population vulnerable to an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Research to illuminate the current functioning of the health system and approaches for strengthening its key components is critically needed to address imminent and evolving health needs of the Afghan people.
  
  Methods
  
  A health systems’ research agenda for Afghanistan that uses a systematic and evidence-based wisdom of the crowds’ approach has yet to be developed. Using the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative methodology, this study identifies the top 20 health systems’ research priorities among experienced Afghanistan health researchers. Priorities were also considered when disaggregating data by subgroups, such as Afghan versus non-Afghan respondents and those from low- and middle-income versus high-income settings.
  
  Results
  
  A total of 303 researchers were invited to score the research questions; 86 responded to the scoring survey and 55 completed it (60% were of Afghan origin). The highest priority questions were relatively diverse in terms of topic area, with questions spanning system-level factors, healthcare quality, community-based healthcare, improvements in the pharmaceutical sector, epidemiological trends, health management information systems and surveillance, access to care and approaches to improving service delivery in Afghanistan, among many others. ‘Delivery’-focused and ‘development’-focused questions were prioritised, demonstrating that participants assigned greater importance to more practical research questions that would explore features of and approaches to improving existing health system structures within the current Afghan context. Results were consistent across subgroups.
  
  Conclusion
  
  This research prioritisation exercise fills a gap by generating consensus and establishing a research agenda for strengthening Afghanistan’s health system.

  English, Scientific journal, OBJECTIVES: This study explored the relationship between receiving healthy lifestyle advice from healthcare providers and hypertension among undiagnosed individuals in Afghanistan, defined as adults with no previous hypertension diagnosis or treatment history. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were extracted from the 2018-19 Afghanistan National Non-Communicable Diseases Risk Factors Survey, comprising 2,838 participants. Outcomes included hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥80 mmHg) and elevated blood pressure (systolic blood pressure 120-129 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure <80 mmHg). Bivariate and multivariable multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess associated factors. RESULTS: Among the 2,838 participants, 1,344 (47.4%) had hypertension and 344 (12.1%) had elevated blood pressure. Most participants were aged <40 years (63.8%), male (55.8%), and ever-married (80.2%). Multivariable analysis revealed that not receiving healthy lifestyle advice was significantly associated with hypertension (adjusted relative risk ratio [aRRR]=1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-1.47) and elevated blood pressure (aRRR=1.40; 95% CI: 1.08-1.81). Sociodemographic and behavioral factors such as age, sex, marital status, education, occupation, fruit consumption, physical activity, and excess weight were significantly associated with hypertension, whereas only sex and excess weight were significantly associated with elevated blood pressure. CONCLUSION: Our findings underscore the association between receiving healthy lifestyle advice from healthcare providers and a lower prevalence of hypertension among undiagnosed Afghan adults. Accordingly, healthcare providers should recommend lifestyle changes to help manage hypertension among adults.

  Journal of rural medicine : JRM, 19, 4, 221, 231, Oct. 2024, [Peer-reviewed], [Domestic magazines]
  English, Scientific journal, OBJECTIVE: The association between the sex of newborns and the utilization of prenatal healthcare services during pregnancy and childbirth has not been thoroughly studied. This study investigated the association between the sex of newborns and the extent to which women used prenatal healthcare services in Afghanistan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study used data obtained from a nationally representative demographic and health survey. The participants in this analysis were women who had given birth in the last five years (n=19,126). Four indicators related to prenatal healthcare utilization were used: (1) number of antenatal care (ANC) visits, (2) number of ANC services provided by skilled professionals, (3) quality of ANC services, and (4) institutional delivery. Multivariate linear and logistic regression models were employed to examine the association between the sex of newborns and the use of prenatal healthcare services after adjusting for sociodemographic and decision-making autonomy variables. RESULTS: There was a significant association between the sex of newborns and use of prenatal healthcare services. Women with female newborns used ANC services fewer times (β =-0.10, 95% CI: -0.17, -0.03), used ANC services provided by skilled professionals fewer times (β=-0.11, 95% CI: -0.18, -0.04), were less likely to receive high-quality ANC (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=0.78, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.67, 0.90), and were less likely to deliver their babies at health institutions (AOR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.77, 0.91) than those with male newborns, after adjusting for other variables. CONCLUSION: The findings revealed a negative association between female newborns and the utilization of prenatal healthcare services among women of reproductive age in Afghanistan. It is important to pay attention to this issue and ensure that all women have equal access to healthcare services regardless of their newborn's sex.
