The most common cardiovascular disease (CVD) and risk factor for the main causes of death is hypertension (HTN), the prevalence of which in Russia is 44%. The combination of HTN and chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) can lead to mutual influence and worsen the prognosis.Aim. To study long-term outcomes in HTN patients with CRDs under outpatient monitoring in primary health care.Material and methods. This prospective observational study of hypertensive outpatients (n=156, age, 63,4±8,8 years, men, 27,6%) was carried out, of which 49 had asthma, 20 — chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n=69; group with CRD). The composite primary endpoint included death, myocardial infarction, cerebral stroke, transient ischemic attack, arterial revascularization, angina pectoris, peripheral arterial disease (>50% stenosis), heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular premature beats >30 h. There were following secondary endpoints: hypertensive crisis, hospitalization, emergency call and temporary disability due to cardiovascular diseases, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, chronic respiratory failure. In addition, the following tertiary endpoints were analyzed: increased blood pressure (BP) without a hypertensive crisis, which required correction of HTN therapy, deterioration in CRD course (an increase in the ACQ-5 or CAT total score without exacerbation), acute bronchitis, other acute diseases and exacerbations of chronic ones, which required hospitalizations, new clinically significant chronic diseases not included in the primary and secondary endpoints.Results. The follow-up period was 29±8 months. The groups did not differ in relation to prevalence of primary endpoints. The frequency of secondary and tertiary endpoints was higher in the CRD group due to "respiratory" events and episodes of BP destabilization requiring correction of HTN therapy (p<0,01). In HTN patients with CRDs, cumulative survival was lower, and the cumulative risk of adverse events was higher.Conclusion. Larger studies are needed in this area, as well as an analysis of the factors associated with adverse outcomes in hypertensive patients, including BP characteristics and accounting for CRDs, in order to improve preventive approaches.

Published: November 2022

Background: The “mid-day meal scheme” is the popular name for the school meal program of India, through which meal is provided to school children studying in the government and government aided schools. In non-government schools, children carry tiffin’s from home. Often, due to lack of time and/or knowledge of the parents and students, the contents of the food are not as per a balanced diet. The objective of the study was to analyse and compare the tiffin habits of primary and senior school children.Methods: This was a clinic-based study. Parents of 300 school going children were asked about tiffin habits of their children in a predesigned questionnaire. Data was analysed and conclusions drawn.Results: Most children carried tiffin to school on the majority of days. There was no statistical difference between primary or older children in their tiffin contents. Very few primary school children had a say in the content of tiffin. The senior students spent money in canteen on more days per week, whereas most primary class students spent only once a week or for treats.Conclusions: It is crucial for schools to establish food committees in school that suggests and monitors tiffin policies and meal plans based on nutrition.
