Introduction: It is critical to assess the progress toward achieving the national goal of reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by one-third by 2030 in Vietnam. This study aimed to examine the pooled prevalence of dyslipidemia among the Vietnamese adult population.
Method: Five databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and local peer-reviewed journals were searched from inception to May 2024 without language restrictions.
Background: Due to cognitive impairments, people with dementia (PWD) often have difficulties in eating and drinking. This study aimed to assess the nutritional status, dietary quality and eating disturbance issues among PWD in Vietnam.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at the Vietnamese National Geriatric Hospital from April to December 2022.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on people living with dementia (PLWD) in Vietnam, assessing their physical activity levels and care dependency, finding that over half had mild dementia and a significant portion had low physical activity.* -
- Researchers used various assessments, including the Mini Nutritional Assessment and International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and discovered that those with moderate/severe dementia had lower care dependency scores, indicating greater care needs.* -
- The study concluded that caregivers should promote physical activity for PLWD and create personalized nutrition and care strategies to improve their well-being and independence.*
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the reliability and validity of the Vietnamese version of the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) among medical students at Hanoi Medical University, highlighting the significance of eHealth literacy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A total of 494 medical students participated, and results indicated a good eHEALS score of 30.34 ± 4.57, with high reliability demonstrated through various statistical tests.
- Key factors influencing eHEALS scores included the students' device usage, ongoing medical conditions, and the trustworthiness of health information sources, suggesting areas for further research in eHealth literacy.
