Abstract

ABSTRACT The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines obesity and overweight as a medical condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fat. While body mass index (BMI) is commonly used to measure obesity, it has limitations in accounting for differences in body fat distribution. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio on the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease. Various search methods, including indexed sources from Google Scholar, were used to access a diverse range of literature published in the last ten years. The review employed deductive and inductive reasoning to compile and extract relevant information. Deductive reasoning was used to establish a theoretical framework and identify concepts related to waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Inductive reasoning was then applied to analyse the literature and draw conclusions based on the accumulated evidence. The study found that waist-to-hip ratio is a valuable indicator of cardiovascular disease risk in people of all ages, regardless of their body mass index. It is particularly useful when other metabolic risk factors such as diabetes, lipoprotein abnormalities, smoking, and hypertension are present. This approach is especially beneficial for identifying patients who may be at risk of cardiovascular disease despite having a normal BMI. Waist-to-hip ratio provides additional insights into central adiposity, which has been linked to various metabolic abnormalities and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Keywords: Obesity, Waist-to-Hip Ratio, Body Mass Index, Central Adiposity, Cardiovascular Risk

Abstract

Frambusia, also known as yaws, patek, pian, buba, or ambalo, is a tropical disease categorized as a Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD). The diagnosis of frambusia is established through clinical examination and serological testing. Occasionally, there are cases of frambusia that lack clear clinical lesions, leading to undiagnosed instances. The disease is primarily attributed to unhygienic living conditions, and if left untreated, it can result in various complications in the future. TPHA-RDT testing can be employed for early frambusia detection. Educational activities and disease screening involve 12 pediatric respondents. Frambusia is commonly observed among children aged two to fifteen years, with transmission occurring during play and interaction with peers of the same age group. Therefore, effective preventive measures, such as frambusia screening, need to be implemented. Societal awareness campaigns contribute to enhancing public knowledge of frambusia and educating individuals about effective preventive actions. With an improved understanding of this disease, it is expected that individuals will take necessary preventive steps, such as seeking healthcare when frambusia symptoms or signs arise. Thus, accurate knowledge of frambusia serves as a foundation for adopting effective preventive behaviors and safeguarding the overall health of both individuals and communities.
