"[This book is a roadmap of the exact health disparities that burden the health of South Texas residents, especially Hispanics, compared to the rest of Texas and nation. This type of knowledge has the potential to fuel and motivate researchers and public health leaders to create and shape interventions to reverse those health disparities. Most notably, focus on obesity and diabetes prevention efforts and modifiable risk factors, such as nutrition, reproductive factors and access to health care, has significant potential to reduce the burden of disease in South Texas communities.South Texas, a 38-county region that spans 45,000 square miles along the Texas-Mexico border northward to the area around metropolitan Bexar County (home to San Antonio), is home to 18% of the state’s population. Yet South Texas residents, who are 68% Hispanic, struggle with lower educational levels, less income and less access to health care, and, as a result, suffer from a wide variety of health disparities. To study the health status and identify the exact health disparities that exist in the region, researchers from The UT Health Science Center at San Antonio teamed with researchers from the Texas Department of State Health Services to develop the South Texas Health Status Review.The Review team analyzed a variety of the latest county, state and national data to compare South Texas’ incidence, prevalence and mortality rates for more than 35 health indicators, from cancers to chronic diseases like diabetes to communicable diseases like HIV/AIDS to maternal health and even environmental health, to the rest of Texas and the nation by age, sex, race/ethnicity and rural/urban location.​ , This book is a roadmap of the exact health disparities that burden the health of South Texas residents, especially Hispanics, compared to the rest of Texas and nation.

"Global Health Disparities: Closing the Gap Through Good Governance provides graduate-level health and international relations students with a comprehensive exploration of worldwide conditions and government responsibility in health care. --Rooted in human rights, this essential reference defines "good governance" in health by universal access to primary health care, primary education, and clean water/​sanitation. It explores the geography of health---including social, political, economic, and cultural disparities---dividing the globe into four categories of development: developed, developing, least developed, and a new level,"most developed," reserved for those countries with maximum life expectancy. --The first book of its kind, Global Health Disparities: Closing the Gap Through Good Governance ranks 192 countries based on life expectancy and other key demographic indicators, and it positions the United States within the World community as 50 countries in one, a unique outlier. Millions of people around the world struggle daily with the devastation of communicable diseases that can be prevented, treated, or cured. Global Health Disparities: Closing the Gap Through Good Governance calls for partnership across governments, NGOs, citizens, and the private sector to close the world's health gaps. --Book Jacket."

"Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important indicator for physical, mental and social well-being of adolescents. Health risk behaviors, including poordietary behavior, physical inactivity, and underweight or overweight, areassociated with low HRQoL among adolescents. There is limited data regardingthe health-related quality of life among students in Islamic boarding school, whichseen as a strategic place to promote healthy living behavior. This study aimed toassess eating behavior, physical activity, nutritional status and HRQoL among thestudents, and determine whether eating behavior, physical activity, and nutritionalstatus are the associated factors of HRQoL. A cross-sectional approach was usedin this study in which two schools in South Tangerang City of Banten Provincewere purposively selected. The study was conducted in July 2020. There were 302students aged 15-18 years completed this study, which included the measurementof eating behavior using the Adolescent Food Habit Checklist (AFHC), physicalactivity using Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A),anthropometry, and HRQoL using the Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) 4.0Generic Core Scales. Multiple linear regression was used to determine theassociated factors of HRQoL. The results showed that most of students hadunhealthy eating behavior (76.5%) and physically inactive (64.6%). Theprevalence of overweight among the students was 22% and about half of thestudents were having impaired HRQoL (48.3%) that particularly shown in thedimensions of emotional and school functioning. Gender differences occurredwhere girls reported lower HRQoL than boys. This study found that eatingbehavior, physical activity, and nutritional status were not associated factors ofHRQoL after adjusted for gender and mental health as confounding factors.However, it is suggested to improve eating behavior, physical activity, nutritionalstatus, and HRQoL among the students.

Kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan merupakan salah satu indikator penting untuk

kesehatan fisik, mental, dan sosial remaja. Perilaku yang berisiko bagi kesehatan,

seperti perilaku makan yang buruk, kurang aktivitas fisik, dan memiliki berat

badan kurang atau berlebih, memiliki hubungan dengan kualitas hidup terkait

kesehatan yang rendah pada remaja. Terdapat keterbatasan data mengenai kualitas

hidup terkait kesehatan pada siswa di sekolah Islam berasrama yang merupakan

tempat strategis untuk mempromosikan perilaku kesehatan. Penelitian ini

bertujuan untuk mengukur perilaku makan, aktivitas fisik, status gizi, dan kualitas

hidup terkait kesehatan pada siswa di sekolah Islam berasrama, serta menentukan

apakah perilaku makan, aktivitas fisik, dan status gizi merupakan faktor yang

berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan. Metode potong lintang

digunakan pada penelitian ini, di mana dua sekolah yang berlokasi di Kota

Tangerang Selatan, Provinsi Banten, dipilih secara purposive. Penelitian ini

dilaksanakan pada bulan Juli 2020. Terdapat 302 siswa berumur 15-18 tahun yang

mengikuti penelitian ini secara lengkap mulai dari pengukuran perilaku makan

menggunakan kuesioner Adolescent Food Habit Checklist (AFHC), aktivitas fisik

menggunakan kuesioner Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQA),

antropometri, dan kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan menggunakan kuesioner

Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL). Regresi linier berganda digunakan untuk

menentukan faktor yang berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan.

Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa memiliki perilaku makan yang

tidak sehat (76.5%) dan kurang aktivitas fisik (64.6%). Terdapat 22% siswa

dengan berat badan berlebih dan hampir setengah dari seluruh responden memiliki

kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan yang buruk, terutama pada fungsi emosional dan

sekolah. Siswa putri memiliki kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan yang lebih rendah

daripada siswa putra. Perilaku makan, aktivitas fisik, dan status gizi bukan

merupakan faktor yang berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan pada

penelitian ini setelah disesuaikan dengan faktor perancu, yaitu jenis kelamin dan

kesehatan mental. Meskipun demikian, perilaku makan, aktivitas fisik, status gizi,

dan kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan pada siswa dalam penelitian ini perlu untuk

ditingkatkan."
