Item type:Publication, Socioeconomic Factors Related to Nicotine Dependence in Mongolia(Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 2023-03-22); ;Singh, Pramil ;Peterson, Anne Berit; Objectives: This study is aimed to investigate potential socio-economic risk factors associated with Nicotine Dependence among UB residents. It is important to identify and understand the various elements that may make people more susceptible to the negative health effects of smoking. Methods: We applied a cross-sectional study design to define the level of nicotine dependence on 875 participants. In addition, risk factors associated with nicotine dependence were assessed through a questionnaire survey. Results: Higher nicotine dependence in this study was associated with being a female (OR=1.208), older age groups (OR=1.5-2.9), divorced (OR=1.091), living in a house (OR=1.602), having a high school education level (OR=1.794), not having a regular job (OR=1.137), having a higher alcohol consumption level (OR=1.18-1.62), and age at initiation of smoking at 18 or younger (OR=1.796). Conclusion: According to the results of our research, countries with low and moderate levels of income, such as Mongolia, have a significant problem with high levels of nicotine dependence. In addition to this, it underscores the importance of developing smoking cessation programs that consider the extent of nicotine dependence while placing a greater emphasis on early interventions of the linked factors. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Evaluating Smoking Cessation Counseling Bundle Behavioral Intervention for Mongolian Adults Who Use Nicotine Patches(Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 2023-03-20); ;Singh, Pramil; ; Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a behavioral intervention based on the World Health Organization (WHO) 5A and 5R guidelines in Mongolia who use the Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) patch. The study aims to assess the impact of the intervention on smoking cessation rate. The finding of this study will contribute to the existing literature on smoking cessation interventions and provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of a behavioral approach in a Mongolian population. Methods: In the intervention study, out of total of 806 people interested in the part of this study. The study team excluded their eligibility criteria of the study participant. A sample of 625 people who fulfilled study inclusion criteria received advice about the negative consequences of tobacco. After that, 479 people decided to quit smoking and 41 people were excluded due to health contraindications, and the final sample 454 people began nicotine replacement therapy to quit smoking. Participants in the treatment group received nicotine replacement patches for 28 days, while those in the counseling group received four sessions of behavioral change counseling (5A, 5R). Results: 454 were found to be eligible to take part in the study and were subsequently assigned to one of two groups, with 230 and 224 participants assigned to each group, respectively. In the second month of follow-up, 90 (39.1%) of participants who received NRT patches quit smoking. The group that received NRT + Behavioral intervention was 1.02 times as successful, or 0.7% more effective, than the group that did not receive behavioral intervention (P=0.872). Conclusion: WHO 5A, 5R brief counselling were more effective than group without behavioral intervention for smoking cessation, but difference was insignificant. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Prevalence of Overweight and Obese School-Going Adolescents in Ulaanbaatar and Its Lack of Associated Risk Factors(Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 2019-06-25); ;Erdenebileg, NasantogtokhObjectives: The high prevalence of overweight and obese adolescents has severe consequences for economic and social development in Mongolia. This study aims to describe the prevalence of obesity and its associated factors among adolescents. Methods: Using the published results of the 2013 Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS), we determined the prevalence of overweight and obese youth as well as some aspects of their physical activity, alcohol consumption, tobacco usage, and dietary behavior. A total of 5393 students from grade 7-12 students who were normal weight, overweight or obese were studied. Results: Approximately 15% of adolescents were overweight or obese with significant differences in BMI when comparing students in grades 7 to 9 to students in grades 10 to 12 (p= .004). More of the students from grades 7 - 9 were overweight than obese (13.3% vs. 10.7%), while more in grades 10 - 12 were obese (2.1% vs. 1.1%). None of the risk factors available in the GSHS data set were related to being overweight or obese. Conclusion: Using the potential risk factors available in the GSHS data set, none were associated with being overweight or obese. There is a need for better understanding of the social, economic, and physical determinants of the high prevalence of overweight and obese adolescents in Mongolia. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Health-Seeking Behavior among Tuberculosis Suspected Cases in Major Cities of Mongolia(Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 2019-09-25); ;Boldoo, Tsolmon ;Dambaa, Naranzul ;Sovd, TugsdelgerIchimura, YasunoriObjective: To assess the health-seeking behavior among presumptive TB cases in a Mongolian population-based TB prevalence survey. Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health concern in Mongolia. TB prevalence survey provides a chance to explore health seeking behavior at the population level. Methods: A population based, cross-sectional survey was conducted using 51 cluster samplings in Mongolia. Participants were interviewed for TB symptoms and their health seeking behavior aged 15 years and above. Participants with a cough lasting two weeks were classified as TB suspects. Results: Of 27,112 survey participants, 4.6% had cough more than two weeks. Forty-eight percent of them had sought health care and to reported pharmacies (26.2%), family group practitioners (45.7%), district health centers (13.3%), and private physicians (3.6%) as first point of contact. The young adults (46.8%) and students (61.0%) approached pharmacies for care more often than their counterparts. Preference for family clinics increased with age. Conclusions: In this survey, 48.1% of the TB suspects had visited a health-care provider. TB case detection need to be improved by retraining health staffs of family health facilities. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in Mongolia: Results from a national population survey(Elsevier BV, 2021-12); ; ;Le, Linh-Vi; BACKGROUND: With the global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in early 2020, Mongolia implemented rapid emergency measures and did not report local transmission until November 2020. We conducted a national seroprevalence survey to monitor the burden of SARS-CoV-2 in Mongolia in the months surrounding the first local transmission. METHODS: During October-December 2020, participants were randomly selected using age stratification and invited for interviews and blood samples at local primary health centres. We screened for total SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, followed by two-step quantitative SARS-CoV-2 IgG serology tests for positive samples. Weighted and test-adjusted seroprevalences were estimated. We used chi-square, Fisher's exact and other tests to identify variables associated with seropositivity. FINDINGS: A total of 5000 subjects were enrolled. We detected SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in 72 samples. Crude seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was 1·44% (95%CI,1·21-1·67). Population weighted and test-adjusted seroprevalences were 1·36% (95%CI,1·11-1·63) and 1·45% (95%CI,1·11-1·63), respectively. Age, sex, geographical, and occupational factors were not associated with seropositivity (p>0·05). Symptoms and signs within past 3 months and seropositivity were not associated at the time of the survey (p>0·05). INTERPRETATION: SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in Mongolia was low in the first year of the pandemic potentially due to strong public health measures, including border restrictions, educational facilities closure, earlier adoption of mask-wearing and others. Our findings suggest large-scale community transmission could not have occurred up to November 2020 in Mongolia. Additional serosurveys are needed to monitor the local pandemic dynamic and estimate how far from herd immunity Mongolia will be following-up with vaccination programme in 2021 and 2022.
