Anthropometric estimation of midarm muscularity and fatness was employed as a general index of nutritional status in developing
countries. The present study attempts to evaluate the sex- and age-related pattern of regional muscle and fat area characteristics
in Turkish children. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 1,068 10- to 14-year-old children (583 boys and 485 girls)
from junior high schools in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. According to general anthropometric protocols, weight, height,
triceps skinfold thickness, and midarm circumference measurements were taken and socioeconomic data were collected. Arm muscle
area (AMA) and arm fat area (AFA) were calculated and centile curves were evaluated using least median squares method. Results
showed significant sexual dimorphism in muscle and fat patterning. AFA was found to be higher among girls and AMA among boys.
The present findings suggest that the different levels of socioeconomic status (SES) appeared to be more prevalent on muscularity
among boys (p < 0.05) and adiposity among girls (p < 0.001). 相似文献

Exponential random graph modeling (ERGM) is used here to test hypotheses derived from human behavioral ecology about the adaptive
nature of human food sharing. Respondents in all (n = 317) households in the fishing and sea-hunting village of Lamalera, Indonesia, were asked to name those households to whom
they had more frequently given (and from whom they had more frequently received) food during the preceding sea-hunting season.
The responses were used to construct a social network of between-household food-sharing relationships in the village. The
results show that kinship, proximity, and reciprocal sharing all strongly increase the probability of giving food to a household.
The effects of kinship and distance are relatively independent of each other, although reciprocity is more common among residentially
and genealogically close households. The results show support for reciprocal altruism as a motivation for food sharing, while
kinship and distance appear to be important partner-choice criteria. 相似文献

In order to study the impact of premature birth and low income on mother–infant interaction, four Portuguese samples were
gathered: full-term, middle-class (n = 99); premature, middle-class (n = 63); full-term, low income (n = 22); and premature, low income (n = 21). Infants were filmed in a free play situation with their mothers, and the results were scored using the CARE Index.
By means of multinomial regression analysis, social economic status (SES) was found to be the best predictor of maternal sensitivity
and infant cooperative behavior within a set of medical and social factors. Contrary to the expectations of the cumulative
risk perspective, two factors of risk (premature birth together with low SES) were as negative for mother–infant interaction
as low SES solely. In this study, as previous studies have shown, maternal sensitivity and infant cooperative behavior were
highly correlated, as was maternal control with infant compliance. Our results further indicate that, when maternal lack of
responsiveness is high, the infant displays passive behavior, whereas when the maternal lack of responsiveness is medium,
the infant displays difficult behavior. Indeed, our findings suggest that, in these cases, the link between types of maternal
and infant interactive behavior is more dependent on the degree of maternal lack of responsiveness than it is on birth status
or SES. The results will be discussed under a developmental and evolutionary reasoning. 相似文献

Background: Survival differences in stomach cancer are depended on patient, tumour and treatment factors. Some populations are more prone to develop stomach cancer, such as people with low socioeconomic status (SES). The aim of this population based study was to assess whether differences in socioeconomic status (SES) alone, after adjusting for confounding factors, also influence survival. Methods: From 1989 to 2007 all patients with stomach cancer were selected from the cancer registry of the Comprehensive Cancer Centre North-East. Postal code at diagnosis was used to determine SES, dividing patients in three groups; low, intermediate and high SES. Associations between age, localization, grade, stage, and treatment were determined using Chi-square analysis. Relative survival analysis was used to estimate relative excess risk (RER) of dying according to SES. Results: In low SES neighbourhoods diagnosis was established at older age. More distal tumours were detected in patients with low SES, whereas pathology showed more poorly differentiated tumours in patients with high SES. Overall, more resections were performed in, and more chemotherapy was administrated to patients in high SES neighbourhoods. After adjusting for confounding factors, the risk of dying was lower for patients with high SES (RER 0.89, 95% Confidence Interval 0.81–0.98) compared to patients with low SES. Conclusion: SES proved to be an independent prognostic factor for survival in patients with stomach cancer. 相似文献

Sibling correlations for size attained in height, weight, sitting height, estimated leg length, the triceps skinfold, arm circumference, and estimated midarm muscle circumference were compared in 6- through 13-year-old schoolchildren grouped by household socioeconomic status. The children were residents of a Zapotec-speaking, subsistence agricultural community in the Valley of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. Sibling pairs were classified as being from high and low socioeconomic status (SES) households, and sibling correlations were computed within each SES group controlling for environmental effects derived from a factor analysis of information on household demography and land and livestock holdings. Like-sex siblings from lower SES households have significantly different correlations in four instances. Correlations are higher for leg length in lower SES brothers and higher for sitting height and weight in lower SES sisters, while the correlation for sitting height is higher in upper SES brothers. The sibling correlation results are not entirely consistent with observations on growth status by SES, particularly if the power and similarity of a common environment is the only cause of higher sibling correlations. Reduced body size under poorer socioeconomic and presumably nutritional circumstances is apparent, but it is not possible in this analysis to distinguish whether genotypic (developmental) plasticity or genetic adaptation, or both, are involved. 相似文献

Objective
There is limited evidence about levels of socio-economic and other differences in catastrophic health spending in Nigeria and in many sub-Saharan African countries. The study estimated the level of catastrophic healthcare expenditures for different healthcare services and facilities and their distribution across socioeconomic status (SES) groups.Methods
The study took place in four Local Government Areas in southeast Nigeria. Data were collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires administered to 4873 households. Catastrophic health expenditures (CHE) were measured using a threshold of 40% of monthly non-food expenditure. We examined both total monthly health expenditure and disaggregated expenditure by source and type of care.Results
The average total household health expenditure per month was 2354 Naira ($19.6). For outpatient services, average monthly expenditure was 1809 Naira ($15.1), whilst for inpatient services it was 610 Naira ($5.1). Higher health expenditures were incurred by urban residents and the better-off SES groups. Overall, 27% of households incurred CHE, higher for poorer socioeconomic groups and for rural residents. Only 1.0% of households had a member that was enrolled in a health insurance scheme.Conclusion
The worse-off households (the poorest SES and rural dwellers) experienced the highest burden of health expenditure. There was almost a complete lack of financial risk protection. Health reform mechanisms are needed to ensure universal coverage with financial risk protection mechanisms. 相似文献7.

More than 50% of Nepal’s population lives in the hill regions, usually with small land holdings, and over 60% are considered
below the poverty line. Livestock, and particularly goats, provide these small-scale farmers with about 55% of their on-farm
income. We studied goat production in Katteldanda, a mid-hill village of 78 households, mainly Brahmins, in Ghorka District.
Subsistence farmers raise six or seven goats and one or two buffalo, and cultivate mainly maize, millet and rice. Tree fodder
constituted about 70% of dry matter intake of goats for large parts of the year and was collected by lopping branches from
trees on upland, rain-watered, private terraces (bari) near the household compound. Local farmers ranked the fodder trees they considered best and we measured the actual fodder
they offered to goats. In addition, we evaluated and ranked 23 fodder species on the basis of laboratory in vitro nutritional
and metabolizable energy yields. Using a Mantel test, a significant correlation was found between what the farmers thought
was best fodder and fodder offered to goats (Mantel r = 0.398; P = 0.037) but non-significant correlations were found between either what the farmers thought was best fodder or fodder offered
to goats and laboratory rankings (Mantel r = −0.027; P = 0.49 and Mantel r = 0.187; P = 0.18, respectively). We concluded that biomass produced and availability throughout the year, in addition to nutritional
and energy yield, are important criteria for selecting fodder trees for goat production. 相似文献

Catamenial epilepsy is a form of epilepsy which is related to the menstrual cycle. Cyclic variation in the levels of ovarian
hormones plays a pivotal role in its pathogenesis. Sodium valproate (VPA) is one of the oldest antiepileptic drugs (AEDs)
which inhibits hepatic metabolizing enzymes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiepileptic effects of VPA during
different phases of the estrous cycle in rats. 72 adult female Wistar rats in three groups (control, 75 and 100 mg/kg VPA),
each with four subgroups (proestrous, estrous, metestrous and diestrous) were used (n = 6). Initially, puberty was assessed using vaginal smears and rats with two regular cycles were selected. VPA with doses
75 and 100 mg/kg was administered intraperitoneally (i.p) in the treatment groups followed by i.p. injection of 80 mg/kg pentylentetrazol
(PTZ) in the treatment and control groups. After induction of seizure by PTZ, initiation time of myoclonic seizures (ITMS),
initiation time of tonic–clonic seizures (ITTS), seizures duration (SD) and mortality rate (MR) were recorded for 30 min.
Data were presented as mean±SD, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey–Kramer multiple comparison post hoc test were used for analysis
of data (P < 0.05). The results of this study showed that VPA significantly improved antiepileptic parameters including ITMS, ITTS,
SD, and MR, in which they were significantly more prominent during the luteal phase than the follicular phase (P < 0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference neither between proestrous and estrous nor between metestrous and
diestrous in each separately group of rats (P > 0.05). 相似文献

Heat stress has important effects on the welfare of livestock. The effects of heat stress in cattle include changes in biological
functions and behaviors. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavioral differences between light and heavy feedlot
cattle reared in a hot environment. Sixteen male Holstein feedlot cattle were allocated to light (353.8 ± 15.5 kg, n = 8) and heavy (737.1 ± 15.8 kg, n = 8) groups according to their live weight and were kept in a semi-open feedlot barn. The individual behavioral response
variables measured were standing, lying, feeding, drinking, ruminating, locomotor activity and elimination (urinating and
defecating). The effects of group, day, observation time, replicate and all interactions were included in an explanatory statistical
(GLM) model. The data were analyzed using the PROC GLM procedure of SAS. Overall, the heavy cattle spent more time standing
(P < 0.001), lying (P < 0.001), and eliminating (P < 0.05) compared to the light group. In contrast, the light group spent more time eating, drinking and ruminating (P < 0.001). Locomotor activity did not differ significantly between groups (P > 0.05). During the day, heavy cattle spent more time standing (at 1600 hours) and less time eating in comparison with the
light cattle (P < 0.001) (at 1300 and 1600 hours). Light and heavy feedlot cattle behaved differently in a hot environment. The findings
of the study indicate that the welfare of the heavy Holstein feedlot cattle was impacted negatively when the ambient temperature
was high (at 1300 hours). 相似文献

PurposeWe investigated the association between seasonal influenza vaccination in South Korea and socioeconomic status (SES) as well as other potential related factors.MethodsThe study was based on data obtained in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2010 to 2011. Education level and household income were used as indicators for SES. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate SES and other demographic variables as related factors for influenza vaccination, the primary outcome.ResultsHigher household income was positively associated with higher vaccine uptake in the younger (19–49 years) group [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08–2.23], whereas the low-income and low-education group had increased vaccination coverage than the middle-income and middle-education group in the older (≥ 50 years) group (aOR 1.36, 95% CI 1.09–1.69). Current smokers tend to be unvaccinated in all age groups. Among individuals aged ≥ 50, older age, mild to moderate alcohol consumption, regular exercise, and having co-morbidities were positively associated with vaccination, while those who self-reported their health status as good were less likely to be vaccinated.ConclusionsThe relationship between SES and seasonal influenza vaccination coverage differed between the age groups throughout the adult South Korean population. Public health policies need to address these inequalities. 相似文献

Our objectives were (i) to assess the current prevalence of childhood overweight (including obesity) (OWOB) in France and its relationship with comprehensive socioeconomic status (SES) indicators and (ii) to examine trends in OWOB prevalence and changes in energy intake (EI) and sedentary behavior (SED) based on the previous INCA 1 (Individuelle Nationale des Consommations Alimentaires) data (1998–1999). A representative sample of children aged 3–14 (n = 1,030) was taken from the 2006–2007 cross‐sectional INCA 2 food consumption survey. Weight and height were measured. The prevalence of OWOB was estimated according to the IOTF (International Obesity Task Force) definition. Average daily EI was evaluated using a 7‐day food record. SED (screen time) and SES were reported by answering questionnaires. SES indicators included the occupation and level of education of the head of the household (HH), and variables describing household wealth. Composite indices of SES were computed by correspondence analysis, and relationships with OWOB were explored by logistic regression analysis. In total, 14.5% (95% CI: 12.1–17.0) of the children were OWOB. All SES indicators were inversely correlated to OWOB. Average EI was equal to 1,739 kcal/day. Daily, children spent 113.5 min watching television, and 38.5 min playing video games or using a computer. Compared to the INCA 1 study, OWOB prevalence was not significantly different, EI was lower, and SED was higher. These trends were the same across all occupational categories of heads of household. Although overall rates of childhood OWOB are currently stabilizing, no change was observed in the strong inverse socioeconomic gradient of OWOB between the two studies. 相似文献

Introduction
The paradoxical phenomenon of the coexistence of overweight and underweight individuals in the same household, referred to as the “dual burden of malnutrition”, is a growing nutrition dilemma in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).Aims
The objectives of this study were (i) to examine the extent of the dual burden of malnutrition across different provinces in Indonesia and (ii) to determine how gender, community social capital, place of residency and other socio-economic factors affect the prevalence of the dual burden of malnutrition.Methods
The current study utilized data from the fourth wave of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) conducted between November 2007 and April 2008. The dataset contains information from 12,048 households and 45,306 individuals of all ages. This study focused on households with individuals over two years old. To account for the multilevel nature of the data, a multilevel multiple logistic regression was conducted.Results
Approximately one-fifth of all households in Indonesia exhibited the dual burden of malnutrition, which was more prevalent among male-headed households, households with a high Socio-economic status (SES), and households in urban areas. Minimal variation in the dual burden of malnutrition was explained by the community level differences (<4%). Living in households with a higher SES resulted in higher odds of the dual burden of malnutrition but not among female-headed households and communities with the highest social capital.Conclusion
To improve household health and reduce the inequality across different SES groups, this study emphasizes the inclusion of women''s empowerment and community social capital into intervention programs addressing the dual burden of malnutrition. 相似文献13.

A repeated batch fermentation system was used to produce ethanol using an osmotolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae (VS3) immobilized in calcium alginate beads. For comparison free cells were also used to produce ethanol by repeated batch fermentation.
Fermentation was carried for six cycles with 125, 250 or 500 beads using 150, 200 or 250 g glucose L−1 at 30°C. The maximum amount of ethanol produced by immobilized VS3 using 150 g L−1 glucose was only 44 g L−1 after 48 h, while the amount of ethanol produced by free cells in the first cycle was 72 g L−1. However in subsequent fed batch cultures more ethanol was produced by immobilized cells compared to free cells. The amount
of ethanol produced by free cells decreased from 72 g L−1 to 25 g L−1 after the fourth cycle, while that of immobilized cells increased from 44 to 72 g L−1. The maximum amount of ethanol produced by immobilized VS3 cells using 150, 200 and 250 g glucose L−1 was 72.5, 93 and 87 g ethanol L−1 at 30°C.

The purpose of this investigation was to compare the myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform expression of the triceps brachii muscle
and isoinertial, isometric and isokinetic strength indices in competitive bodybuilders (CB, n = 5), recreational resistance trainers (RT, n = 5), endurance-trained rowers (ER, n = 5) and control (C, n = 5) subjects. Muscle tissue samples were analysed for MHC isoform content using 6% sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide
gel electrophoresis. The CB possessed significantly smaller (P < 0.05) percentage of MHC type IIb proteins [12.92 (SD 7.08)%] than RT [30.08 (SD 6.58)%] ER [31.20 (SD 2.74)%] and C [38.22
(SD 2.95)%] groups (i.e. CB < RT ≈ ER < C). While the content of MHC type IIa isoforms did not differ significantly between
the two resistance-trained groups [CB = 55.76 (SD 5.38)%; RT = 45.72 (SD 7.8)%], CB presented significantly more type IIa
MHC isoforms than ER [42.84 (SD 2.98)%] and C [34.72 (SD 1.57)%] subjects (i.e. CB ≈ RT > ER ≈ C). The MHC type I protein
content did not differ significantly among RT [24.20 (SD 4.89)%] ER [25.38 (SD 1.67)%] and C [27.06 (SD 1.81)%] groups. The
CB [31.32 (SD 2.67)%] presented significantly more type I MHC isoforms only in comparison with RT. However, when changes in
the percentage of MHC type I isoforms were converted to effect sizes (ES), it appeared that low statistical power rather than
the absence of an effect accounted for the nonsignificant differences between CB and other groups (i.e. CB > RT ≈ ER ≈ C).
Significant differences existed in isoinertial strength among the trained athletes (i.e. CB > RT > ER ≈ C), while isometric
and isokinetic strength were not significantly different among any of the trained groups. However, the ES transformation of
data demonstrated that large differences existed between resistance-trained groups and ER for isometric and isokinetic strength
(i.e. CB ≈ RT > ER ≈ C). A statistically significant negative correlation (P < 0.001) was found between MHC type IIb isoforms and isoinertial strength index (r = − 0.68). The MHC type IIa proteins were positively related to all the strength measures considered (r = 0.51 – 0.61; P < 0.001). These data demonstrated different patterns of MHC isoform expression among the different groups of athletes and
it is suggested that these differences on occasion may affect the expression of strength.

Contribution of “Women’s Gold” to West African Livelihoods: The Case of Shea ( Vitellaria paradoxa ) in Burkina Faso. This paper (i) quantifies the contribution that Vitellaria paradoxa makes to the total income of rural households belonging to different economic groups in two areas of Burkina Faso; (ii) quantifies the involvement of women in shea nuts and fruits collection and processing; and (iii) empirically verifies the “gap filling” function of shea products in Burkina Faso by quantifying the commercialization and subsistence use of shea fruits, nuts, and butter between agricultural seasons. Based on data collected from structured household surveys used on a quarterly basis during a one-year period on 536 households, we demonstrate that the reliance on shea is generally high in the sampled populations, and is at its highest for the poorest households, for which it contributes 12 % of total household income. Moreover, shea nut collection and processing was found to provide a valuable source of cash income to female household members who otherwise have very few income possibilities. Finally, due to its ecology, shea fills in an income gap during a period where human activities are at their highest while income is at its lowest. Although shea is crucial for poor people’s livelihoods and for the generation of income for women, its harvesting and processing are time-consuming activities that generate low returns per unit of labor. We argue that shea collection and processing should therefore not be considered as a remedy to poverty but instead as a way for households to diversify their livelihood strategy and decrease their vulnerability to food insecurity and climate variability. 相似文献

The purpose of the study was to determine the concentration of trace elements present in scalp hair sample of schizophrenic
patients and to find out the relationship between trace elements level and nutritional status or socioeconomic factors. The
study was conducted among 30 schizophrenic male patients and 30 healthy male volunteers. Patients were recruited from Bangabandhu
Sheikh Mujib Medical University by random sampling. Hair trace element concentrations were determined by flame atomic absorption
spectroscopy and analyzed by independent t test, Pearson’s correlation analysis, regression analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Mn, Zn, Ca, Cu, and Cd concentrations
of schizophrenic patients were 3.8 ± 2.31 μg/gm, 171.6 ± 59.04 μg/gm, 396.23 ± 157.83 μg/gm, 15.40 ± 5.68 μg/gm, and 1.14 ± 0.89 μg/gm
of hair sample, while those of control subjects were 4.4 ± 2.32 μg/gm, 199.16 ± 27.85 μg/gm, 620.9 ± 181.55 μg/gm, 12.23 ± 4.56 μg/gm,
and 0.47 ± 0.32 μg/gm of hair sample, respectively. The hair concentration of Zn and Ca decreased significantly (p = 0.024; p = 0.000, respectively) and the concentration of Cu and Cd increased significantly (p = 0.021; p = 0.000, respectively) in schizophrenic patients while the concentration of Mn (p = 0.321) remain unchanged. Socioeconomic data reveals that most of the patients were poor, middle-aged and divorced. Mean
body mass indices (BMIs) of the control group (22.26 ± 1.91 kg/m2) and the patient group (20.42 ± 3.16 kg/m2) were within the normal range (18.5−25.0 kg/m2). Pearson’s correlation analysis suggested that only Ca concentration of patients had a significant positive correlation
with the BMI (r = 0.597; p = 0.000) which was further justified from the regression analysis (R
2 = 44%; t = 3.59; p = 0.002) and one-way ANOVA test (F = 3.62; p = 0.015). A significant decrease in the hair concentration of Zn and Ca as well as a significant increase in the hair concentration
of Cu and Cd in schizophrenic patients than that of its control group was observed which may provide prognostic tool for the
diagnosis and treatment of this disease. However, further work with larger population is suggested to examine the exact correlation
between trace element level and the degree of disorder. 相似文献

The population of about 300 6-year-old preschool children was studied for lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in deciduous teeth, scalp
hair, and capillary blood. Zinc (Zn) content in hair was also measured due to its possible interferences with the elements
studied. The Pb and Cd contents were measured by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry with Zeeman background correction,
and Zn, by flame method. Metal levels found were comparable to those in European countries. Positive correlations between
Pb and Cd in the same and different tissues were widespread (r = 0.23–0.68). A positive correlation was found between Pb in teeth and blood (r = 0.65, p < 0.001). Pb blood threshold 100 μg L−1 referred to 2.6 μg g−1 Pb in teeth. Predictability of this Pb teeth limit was 14% vs. 5% for Pb blood. Strong negative correlation was found between
hair Pb and Zn (r = −0.68, p < 0.001). Enhanced Cd and Zn levels in hair were associated with the household drinking water hardness. The associations
with some other environmental and behavioral factors were also presented and discussed. The results proved the advantage of
analysis of primary teeth for Pb exposure screening of preschool children. 相似文献

The feeding dynamics and oxygen uptake of the bottom-dwelling caridean shrimp Nauticaris marionis were studied during the April/May 1984, 1996 and 1997 cruises to Marion Island (Prince Edward Islands, Southern Ocean). N. marionis is thought to have an opportunistic feeding mode. Prey composition varied considerably between the years and sites investigated.
Overall, benthic (mainly hydrozoans and bottom-dwelling polychaetes) and, at times, pelagic (largely euphausiids and copepods)
prey items dominated in the stomachs of N. marionis both by occurrence and by volume. Generally, pelagic prey contributed more to the diets of smaller shrimps, while benthic
prey was a more important component in the guts of larger specimens. Wet, dry and ash-free dry weight were determined for
specimens used in respiration experiments. The respiration rates of N. marionis females with carapace length 6.6–11.1 mm ranged from 80 to 250 μl O2 individual−1 · h−1, or from 0.588 to 2.756 μl O2 · mg−1 dry weight h−1. Regression analyses showed highly significant correlations between oxygen consumption and carapace length for N. marionis. Daily ingestion rates estimated using an in situ gut content analysis technique (4.4% of body dry weight) and an energy budget approach (average 4.7% of body dry weight,
range 2.0–7.5%) showed good agreement with each other.

This article identified the Dutch publics’ value orientations toward wildlife and examined differences in value orientations
among four demographic characteristics: age, sex, current residence, and education. The two wildlife value orientations—domination
and mutualism—were based on prior theorizing and research in the USA. People with a domination value orientation believe wildlife
should be managed for human benefit and are more likely to prioritize human well-being over wildlife in their attitudes and
behaviors. Individuals with a mutualism orientation view wildlife as part of an extended family, deserving of rights and care.
Data were obtained from a mailed survey (n = 353) sent to randomly selected individuals in the Dutch population. K-means cluster analysis was used to segment respondents
into three groups based on their responses to the 19 items used to measure their wildlife value orientations. As predicted
by the literature, those with a domination wildlife value orientation were statistically older (M = 55.2) than mutualism oriented individuals (M = 51.5). Females (61%) and those living in an urban area (48%) tended to be more mutualism-oriented. There were no significant
differences among the clusters in education level. Overall, this article provides information about wildlife value orientations
and public demographic characteristics that can help wildlife managers to (1) understand the diversity of value orientations
that exist and (2) gauge support for or opposition to management policies. 相似文献

We assessed the burden of cancer on households’ out-of-pocket health spending, non-medical consumption, workforce participation, and debt and asset sales using data from a nationally representative health and morbidity survey in India for 2004 of nearly 74 thousand households. Propensity scores were used to match households containing a member diagnosed with cancer (i.e. cancer-affected households) to households with similar socioeconomic and demographic characteristics (controls). Our estimates are based on data from 1,645 households chosen through matching. Cancer-affected households experienced higher levels of outpatient visits and hospital admissions and increased out-of-pocket health expenditures per member, relative to controls. Cancer-affected households spent between Indian Rupees (INR) 66 and INR 85 more per member on healthcare over a 15-day reference period, than controls and additional expenditures (per member) incurred on inpatient care by cancer-affected households annually is equivalent to 36% to 44% of annual household expenditures of matched controls. Members without cancer in cancer-affected households used less health-care and spent less on healthcare. Overall, adult workforce participation rates were lower by between 2.4 and 3.2 percentage points compared to controls; whereas workforce participation rates among adult members without cancer were higher than in control households. Cancer-affected households also had significantly higher rates of borrowing and asset sales for financing outpatient care that were 3.3% to 4.0% higher compared to control households; and even higher for inpatient care. 相似文献
