Presently, long-lasting health disorders represent a significant health problem in developing countries. Further, epidemiological trends associated with lifestyle habits suggest that chronic conditions tend not to slow down all over the world. As such, reliable analytical techniques to manage chronic health conditions such as diabetes-mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases, among other non-communicable diseases (NCD), are of paramount importance.

Abstract Background: Population aging and the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are increasingly a strain on health systems. The World Health Organization (WHO) uses fairness of health financing as one of the criteria for assessing health system performance. The Chinese government has undertaken a series of health reforms to reduce the pace of disease transition towards non-communicable diseases, as well as protecting people from catastrophic health expenditures. The aim of this study was to assess the fairness of health financing among the elderly with different health conditions in China during the year of 2007 to 2010. Methods: The data source was the WHO Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) Wave 1, a national weighted data collected from adults older than 50 years. In this study, 10099 respondents were included for analysis. Chi-square and partial proportional odds model test were applied to assess the distribution of socioeconomic and health behavior factors among different chronic conditions. Fairness of healthcare financing analysis was used to evaluate how the burden of health financing is distributed according to the household ability to pay (ATP). Dominance tests were applied for comparing different ways of health financing among health conditions. Results: More than half of the elderly had at least one chronic condition, and around 20% people suffered from multi-morbidity. Several socioeconomic as well as health behavior factors were found associated with developing NCDs. Out-of-pocket payment dominated other health finance sources in Non-NCD, single morbidity and multi-morbidity groups with a regressive pattern. Even though mandatory insurance had covered more than 70% of the elder population in China, due to the relative lower proportion reimbursement for chronic diseases, people still had to pay a lot for seeking healthcare between 2007 to 2010. Conclusion: When reimbursement for chronic diseases is relatively low, high mandatory insurance coverage does not ensure fairness of health financing. The Chinese health system should be developed further in order to meet the needs of elderly with different chronic conditions.

The data source was the WHO Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) Wave 1, a national weighted data collected from adults older than 50 years. Chi-square and partial proportional odds model test were applied to assess the distribution of socioeconomic and health behavior factors among different chronic conditions. Kakwani indexes and curves were obtained from concentration index/ curves and Gini coefficient/ATP for progressivity analysis in healthcare financing. Dominance tests were applied for comparing different ways of health financing among health conditions. Results: More than half of the elderly had at least one chronic condition, and around 20% people suffered from multi-morbidity.

Descriptive Method

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including the most causes of death in the world including Indonesia.  Adolescence is one of the periods that determine the pattern of formation of health status in adulthood. Risk behaviors generally begin in the teenage period. Risk factors for unhealthy lifestyles in adolescents are caused by many factors, one of which is knowledge. Knowledge or cognitive is a domain that is very influential on a person's actions or behavior. The objective of the study was to assesknowledge about NCDs and behavioural risk factors in adolescents. This research uses descriptive method with cross sectional approach and data collection is done by using a questionnaire. The sample in this study was taken purposively from SMAN 2 Ungaran, SMAN 1 Bergas, and SMA Muhammadiyah Sumowono as many as 146 students. The data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that the most percentage were respondents who had good knowledge about non-communicable diseases that was equal to 46.3%. Nevertheless there are still many respondents who have a fairly good knowledge of 41.8% and as many as 11.0% of respondents still have poor knowledge. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase the knowledge of high school adolescents about non-communicable diseases from schools through collaboration with relevant parties.

Abstract Background The purpose was to examine associations between treatment and chronic health conditions with neurocognitive impairment survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with chemotherapy only. Methods This cross-sectional study included 1207 ALL survivors (54.0% female; mean age 30.6 years) and 2273 siblings (56.9% female; mean age 47.6 years), who completed the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study Neurocognitive Questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression compared prevalence of neurocognitive impairment between survivors and siblings by sex. Associations between neurocognitive impairment with treatment exposures and chronic conditions (graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) were also examined. Statistical tests were 2-sided. Results Relative to same-sex siblings, male and female ALL survivors reported increased prevalence of impaired task efficiency (males: 11.7% vs 16.9%; adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.31 to 2.74; females: 12.5% vs 17.6%; OR = 1.50, 95% CI = 1.07 to 2.14), as well as impaired memory (males: 11.6% vs 19.9%, OR = 1.89, CI = 1.31 to 2.74; females: 14.78% vs 25.4%, OR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.43 to 2.70, respectively). Among male survivors, impaired task efficiency was associated with 2-4 neurologic conditions (OR = 4.33, 95% CI = 1.76 to 10.68) and with pulmonary conditions (OR = 4.99, 95% CI = 1.51 to 16.50), and impaired memory was associated with increased cumulative dose of intrathecal methotrexate (OR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.16 to 2.46) and with exposure to dexamethasone (OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.19 to 5.01). In female survivors, grade 2-4 endocrine conditions were associated with higher risk of impaired task efficiency (OR = 2.19, 95% CI = 1.20 to 3.97) and memory (OR = 2.26, 95% CI = 1.31 to 3.92). Conclusion Neurocognitive impairment is associated with methotrexate, dexamethasone, and chronic health conditions in a sex-specific manner, highlighting the need to investigate physiological mechanisms and monitor impact through survivorship.

10048 Background: The impact of treatment era and chronic health conditions on health-related unemployment among childhood cancer survivors has not been studied. Methods: Childhood cancer survivors (age ≥25 years) enrolled in the CCSS (3,420 diagnosed in the 1970s, 3,564 in the 1980s, and 2,853 in the 1990s) were matched 1:5 on sex, race/ethnicity, census bureau division, age, and year of survey to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a nationally representative population. Among survivors, health-related unemployment was defined as self-reported unemployment due to illness/disability and for BRFSS participants as self-reported inability to work. To standardize follow-up, health-related unemployment was assessed either in 2002-05 or 2014-16 for both cohorts. Sex stratified standardized prevalence ratio (SPR) and relative SPR (rSPR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for health-related unemployment were estimated using multivariable generalized linear models, with BRFSS background rates to assess the impact of treatment era and moderate to severe health conditions (per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events). Results: Prevalence of health-related unemployment in survivors (median age 9 years [range 0-20] at diagnosis and 33 years [25-54] at follow-up) was significantly higher compared to BRFSS participants (females: 11.3% vs 3.7%; SPR 3.0, 95% CI 2.7-3.3; males: 10.5% vs 3.0%; SPR 3.5, 95% CI 3.1-3.9). Health-related unemployment risks declined among survivors in more recent decades (ptrend< 0.001) for females: 1970s SPR 3.8, 95% CI 3.2-4.5, 1980s SPR 2.9, 95% CI 2.5-3.5, 1990s SPR 2.5, 95% CI 2.1-3.0; and males: 1970s SPR 3.6, 95% CI 2.9-4.4, 1980s SPR 3.8, 95% CI 3.1-4.7, 1990s SPR 3.0, 95% CI 2.5-3.7. Among survivors, multivariable models identified associations between presence of specific health conditions and elevated health-related unemployment (Table) adjusting for all statistically significant health conditions, race/ethnicity, treatment era, age at survey, and diagnosis. Among females, rSPR for endocrine conditions differed between 1970s and 1990s (interaction p = 0.04); fewer significant health conditions remained in the final model for males. Conclusions: While prevalence for health-related unemployment has declined over time, childhood cancer survivors remain at higher risk compared to the general population. These elevated risks are associated with chronic health conditions and affect female survivors more than male survivors.[Table: see text]

Self Reporting Questionnaire

A cross-sectional population-based study was conducted to identify the prevalence of common mental disorders and verify the association with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and the self-reported number of chronic diseases. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) was applied in a multi-stage random sample of 1,276 adults aged 40 and older. Socio-demographic, behavioral, and health-related variables were also obtained using a structured questionnaire. Prevalence of common mental disorders was 30.2%. Lower schooling and social class and the 46-55-year age bracket were associated with psychiatric morbidity. Each chronic illness was independently associated with common mental disorders. However, a stronger association was found between common mental disorders and the total number of self-reported chronic conditions, with a prevalence ratio of 4.67 (95%CI: 3.19-6.83) for five or more self-reported NCDs. The current study emphasizes the importance of common mental disorders in chronically ill patients, particularly in those with more total chronic conditions.
