About this study
Official title: Behavioral Interventions as Primary Prevention for Non-Communicable Diseases Among Young People; a Randomized Clinical Trial
In consistence of North Africa vision to decrease incidence of NCDs in different population type investigators decide to give more concerns to youth (young old) who are the main human power to build future. Recent data report non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the current leading cause of mortality in Egypt, with NCDs estimated to account for 85% of all deaths. Egypt's youth population (16-25 years old) is both the country's greatest asset and one of its biggest challenges. This age group makes up a huge share of the population, and while they are more connected to technology, social media, and modern facilities than older generations, they face lifestyle barriers that affect their health and productivity. Many modifiable risk factors affect their behavior and in consequence health. These factors related strongly to their close relationship with technology, they spend more time on mobile and computer applications that affect directly on physical inactivity, sleeping time (onset and duration) and at the end cause NCDs as obesity and CVs problems. Upper Egypt as apart from North Africa region is considered as one of the low-income countries with special cultures, specifically regarding food and physical activities. Even though young people constitute a significant proportion of the population, comparatively fewer studies have examined the prevalence of health concerns and the strategies needed to promote their well-being, especially when contrasted with research focused on groups such as the elderly or pregnant and lactating women. This project aims to investigate prevalence patterns, identify contributing factors, enhance community awareness by encouraging training of healthcare providers to best act and modify youth risk factors, and implement preventive interventions that are both cost-effective and sustainable. Furthermore, it seeks to foster adherence to these measures to strengthen health literacy and reduce the burden of conditions
