Infertility Characterization, Factors Associated With Primary Infertility, And Seroprevalence Of Genital Infections: A Cross-Sectional Survey In Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Noor Motea Abdo
Dissertations
Worldwide, infertility affects 8%–10% of couples and it could be primary or secondary. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), one in every six couples are facing difficulties in conceiving. However, there is a noticeable lack of epidemiological studies and empirical data characterizing populations seeking infertility treatment in the UAE. Therefore, to inform health policy planning, evidence-based data is required to understand the most common type of infertility and the burden of exposure to genital pathogens. To characterize fertility-treatment-seeking patients, investigate factors associated with primary infertility, and to estimate the seroprevalence of six pathogens known to be transmitted genitally and associated …
Effects Of A Workplace Exercise Intervention On Cardiometabolic Health: Randomized Controlled Trial, Ali Muneer Al Rahma
Effects Of A Workplace Exercise Intervention On Cardiometabolic Health: Randomized Controlled Trial, Ali Muneer Al Rahma
Dissertations
Brief Introduction: The worldwide rising levels of physical inactivity, especially in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Eastern Mediterranean region, are alarming. The UAE reports one of the highest rates of mortality due to non-communicable diseases, and insufficient physical activity is a major underlying cause. Therefore, action is required to reduce physical inactivity using evidence-based strategies.
Aims: To evaluate the effect of a 12-week workplace structured exercise intervention on cardiometabolic risk factors and to determine whether the workplace exercise intervention improves physical activity levels four weeks post-intervention.
Methods: This is a pragmatic parallel, randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 …
Prevalence Of Lost Time Injuries And Fatalities Among Construction Workers In Al Ain, United Arab Emirates (Uae), Ghuwaya Humaid Alnuaimi
Prevalence Of Lost Time Injuries And Fatalities Among Construction Workers In Al Ain, United Arab Emirates (Uae), Ghuwaya Humaid Alnuaimi
Dissertations
Migrants account for more than 80% of the total population of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Few population-based data were available about the burden of lost time injuries (LTIs) and fatalities among migrant workers employed in the construction industry. The proposed study aimed to estimate the prevalence of LTIs and associated factors, and fatalities among construction workers in Al Ain, of Abu Dhabi Emirate in the UAE. A cross-sectional study design was used to estimate the prevalence of LTIs resulting in one or more than a day of sick leave in a random sample (n=1,626) of male construction workers in …
Breast Cancer Presentation Delay Among Women In The United Arab Emirates, Yusra E. Elobaid
Breast Cancer Presentation Delay Among Women In The United Arab Emirates, Yusra E. Elobaid
Dissertations
Breast cancer is the commonest type of malignancy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with more than 65% of women diagnosed at an advanced stage. Routine clinical screening has aided in the early detection of breast cancer. However, more than 71% of breast tumors are self-detected. Therefore, exploring factors influencing delayed presentation to treatment after self-detection of breast tumors by Emirati and Arab women in the UAE is essential for improving the survival and the development of effective and targeted health intervention programs. This project explores the reasons behind delayed presentation to treatment by symptomatic women. It uses several approaches, …
