Abstract

Background: Lifestyle is defined as a group of personnel's daily habits and behavioral patterns sustained over time, such as diet, physical activity, and behavior. Objective: assess healthy lifestyle patterns among adults in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 students from Jazan University in Jazan region. A multistage cluster random sampling technique was used. The self-administered questionnaire includes sociodemographic, FANTASTIC lifestyle, and EuroQol 5-Dimension 3-level (EQ-5D-3L).

Results: 424 students participated in the study, with a response rate of 46.7% male and 53.3% female. The average age of students was 22.47 years, and most of them (56.6%) lived in villages. The students had a good lifestyle, with a mean score of 32.7995 ± 6.49 on the FANTASTIC questionnaire. The mean EQ-5D-3L index score was 0.87 ± 0.15. The study demonstrated a positive correlation between lifestyle status and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Additionally, male students were found to have an excellent lifestyle more often than female students.

Conclusion: The findings from the study utilizing the Fantastic questionnaire and EQ-5D dimensions point to the potential benefits of interventions to enhance the healthy lifestyles and HRQoL of Jazan University students. This can be achieved through educational programs and the promotion of health initiatives, with a specific focus on addressing anxiety and depression among students.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
