BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to determine the population-based prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and prediabetes in a rural district of Daegu City, Korea. METHODS Between August and November 2003, a community-based health survey of adults aged 20 years and older was performed in the rural district of Dalseong-gun in Daegu City.

Cervical cancer remains the major health problem among Thai women, particularly among those living in Northern Thailand. In the recent population-based survey, areas reported to have a highest incidence of cervical cancer are in Northern Thailand. In Chiang Mai Province, an age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) of cervical cancer is 28.9 per 100,000, followed by Lampang Province (ASR, 22.4) (Mo...

The objective of this work is to develop a new composite material by substituting sand with recycled waste glass (RWG). Different volume percentages RWG varying from 0 50% were incorporated into concrete, maximum size that did not exceed 1.25 mm. microscopic characterization scanning electron microscopy SEM-EDS and optical test, as well the durability against alkali silica reaction (ASR) perfor...

We have evaluated the ever changing epidemiology of cancers in Fars province, Iran since the re-establishment of Fars cancer registry. Based on the collected data from all related sources in Fars province from 2007-2010 we calculated the cancer age-standardized rates per 100,000 person-years (ASRs). The results are presented as incidence rates of cases by site according to the International Cla...

BACKGROUND One of the most common cancers is skin cancer worldwide. Since incidence and cost of treatment of the cancer are increasing, it is necessary to further investigate to prevent and control this disease. This study aimed to determine skin cancer trend and epidemiology in Iran. METHODS This study was done based on existing data. Data used in this study were obtained from a national reg...

Background: This study uses data of the global burden of diseases (GBD) study 2010 to report death, disability-adjusted life year (DALYs), years of life lived with disability (YLDs) and years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLLs), attributed to suboptimal breastfeeding by age and gender during 1990 to 2010 in Iran. Materials and Methods:The GBD assessments were used, together with esti...

BACKGROUND Despite previous studies reporting spatial in equality in diabetes prevalence across China, potential geographic variations in diabetes mortality have not been explored. METHODS Age and gender stratified annual diabetes mortality counts for 161 counties were extracted from the China Mortality Surveillance System and interrogated using multilevel negative binomial regression. Random...

A total of 4737 cancers were recorded in Kingston and St Andrew during the period 1998 – 2002: 2387 in males and 2350 in females. Age standardized rates per 100 000 per year (ASR) were 188.6 and 144.2 for males and females respectively. In males, the leading sites for cancer were prostate (873 cases), bronchus (269 cases) and large bowel (176 cases) while in females, the leading sites were brea...
