By Neha MathurJun 26 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the United States Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, under its Foundation, Truth initiative, analyzed retail scanner data gathered from Information Resources, Inc. , a market research company in the United States between January 26, 2020, and December 25, 2022.
Accordingly, in 2021, nearly 11 million adults aged ≥18, comprising 4.5% of all adults, used e-cigarettes, of which ~3 million were below 24 years. In 2022, around two million high school students in the US used e-cigarettes. About the study In the present study, researchers used the StataCorp tool, Stata v17, to analyze total unit sales of e-cigarettes and the unit share stratified by flavor and product type.
Notably, they included some fusion flavors, constituting 5.6% of sales, in this analysis. Further, the team standardized e-cigarette unit sales and summed them for four weeks, spanning January 26, 2020, and December 25, 2022. In addition, stratified by flavors, the unit share sale of menthol-flavored e-cigarette products remained stable, whereas nonmenthol flavor unit shares changed.

The prevalence and influencing factors of coexisting prediabetes and prehypertension among Bangladeshi adults - BMC Public HealthBackground Early detection of diabetes and hypertension is helpful to prevent and/or delay the onset of these diseases through proper interventions. Therefore, it is a prerequisite to know the prevalence of prediabetes and prehypertension and the factors associated with these conditions but people from developing countries including Bangladesh often remain undiagnosed and unaware of these conditions. In this study we investigate the prevalence of prediabetes and prehypertension and their associated factors in Bangladesh using nationally representative data. Method We used nationally representative Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2017–18 survey data, which included a total sample of 14,704 adults aged 18 years and more from whom blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose were collected. Chi-square test was used to examine the differences between sociodemographic and outcome variables. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify the factors associated with prediabetes and prehypertension. Results Overall, the prevalence of prediabetes and prehypertension was 8.6% with 14% of the sampled population having from prediabetes and prehypertension separately. Among the prediabetic and prehypertensive participants, one-fourth of the participant were from the richest families and around one-third were overweight/obese, while more than fifty percent had normal Body Mass Index (BMI) and completed secondary and higher education. In the univariate analysis, the richest wealth status (UOR 3.3, 95% CI: 2.46 -4.35) and overweight/obesity (UOR 3.2, 95% CI: 2.62–3.85) are the highest predictors for prediabetes and prehypertension. After adjusting the other variables, overweight/obesity remains the largest predictor for prediabetes and prehypertension (AOR:2.5, 95% CI:2.05–3.05). Further, people aged 31 and above and from the richest family had around 2 times and 1.8 times higher risk of being prediabetic and prehypertensive compared to t
