Effectiveness of a school-based obesity control program among adolescents in Makkah: A pretest–posttest intervention study Muath A. Aldomini, Baraa S. Quronfulah, Mohamed O. Nour, Tassnym H. Sinky, Mohammed A. Alharbi, Abdullah A. Alghamdi, Ahmad S. Alkathiri, Saja S. AlHazmi, Ruba M. Bukhari, Joud G. Alharthi, Shahd A. Almehmadih, Ruba A. Alnaffaee, Hibah A. Bahammadi Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2026 Objective: To evaluate the impacts of a structured school-based educational intervention on obesity-related knowledge, binge eating behaviors, and anthropometric measures among intermediate school students in Makkah City. Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used. In total, 255 intermediate school students participated in a two-week obesity control program incorporating nutrition education, promotion of healthy lifestyle habits, awareness of binge eating disorder (BED), and physical activity guidance. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to assess sociodemographic and anthropometric measures (body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference), obesity-related knowledge, and binge eating behavior using the Binge Eating Scale (BES). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS to assess pre-post changes and associations. Results: = 0.003). Conclusion: The educational program effectively enhanced knowledge of obesity and eating behaviors among students. These findings highlight the link between psychological eating patterns and obesity risk, emphasizing the need to integrate emotional and behavioral components into school-based health education. Incorporating these multidimensional strategies may contribute to early prevention of disordered eating and long-term obesity.
Implementation of the whole school, whole community, whole child model in Makkah schools, Saudi Arabia: association with students' body mass index and academic achievement Mohamed O. Nour Preventive Medicine Reports, 2025 To assess the implementation of the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model in public elementary schools in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, and examine its association with students ' body mass index (BMI) and academic achievement. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022 across 20 elementary schools in Makkah using multistage cluster sampling. Participants included 385 students and 32 school staff from health-promoting schools (HPSs) and non-HPSs. Implementation of four WSCC domains; community involvement, family engagement, physical environment, and counseling services, was assessed using validated self-administered questionnaires. Academic scores, BMI, and sociodemographic data were collected. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics, bivariate tests, Spearman correlations, and multivariable linear regression. Students in HPSs reported higher WSCC implementation and academic achievement than those in non-HPSs (median score: 687 vs. 665, p = 0.009). In multivariable models, WSCC implementation remained an independent predictor of academic achievement after adjustment (B = 1.63, 95 % CI: 0.90, 2.35), whereas its association with BMI was not significant (B = 0.36, 95 % CI: − 0.32, 1.04). A dual burden of underweight and overweight was observed. Strengthening WSCC implementation, especially mental health support, family and community engagement, and equitable policy adoption, may enhance students ' learning and well-being. • The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model was evaluated in Makkah. • Implementation was higher in schools promoting student health. • Model implementation was linked to higher academic achievement. • No clear link was found with students ' body mass index. • Undernutrition was more common in non–health-promoting schools.
Non-adherence to medication and its associations among type 2 diabetes patients following up with health coaches in primary healthcare centers, Makkah city, KSA Ahmad Salah Alkathiri, Renad Turki Alghamdi, Abeer Ahmad Alamri, Haneen Hassan Alhazmi, Sarah Badr Alsharif, Sahab Muqbil Alharbi, Muath Aldomini, Baraa Sami Quronfulah, Mohamed O. Nour, Mohamed Osman Elamin, Abdullah Khalid Alafif, Saud Hasan Surbaya, Osama M. Hayat Noor Discover Psychology, 2025 Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management relies significantly on medication adherence, yet non-adherence remains a prevalent issue affecting treatment outcomes. Understanding the factors contributing to non-adherence is crucial for developing effective interventions and improving patient care. This study aimed to assess medication non-adherence among T2DM patients following up with health coaches in primary healthcare centers (PHCCs) in Makkah City and identify associated factors influencing adherence levels. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 327 T2DM adult patients. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, clinical, medication-related, and psychological factors, barriers to adherence, and communication difficulties were collected by health coaches at all 24 PHCCs in Makkah City using a structured interview questionnaire. Medication adherence was assessed using the Morisky, Green, and Levine Medication Adherence Scale-4 (MMAS-4), and participants were categorized into low, intermediate, and high adherence groups. Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses with crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR), were performed to identify significant associations and predictors for non-adherence. A total of 327 participants were included. Of these, 50.8% were older than 50 years, 57.8% were female, 73.4% were married, 34.6% had university or postgraduate education, 84.4% were Saudi nationals, and 53.2% were unemployed. Good family support toward adherence to diabetes medications was reported by 76.1%. Smoking was reported by 15%, while 39.5% were overweight and 26.3% were obese. Additionally, 50.8% reported having other chronic diseases, and 28.1% reported diabetes-related complications. Regarding treatment, 69.4% were on oral antidiabetic therapy, 6.1% on insulin injections, and 24.5% on combination therapy. Moreover, 46.2% were taking medications for other chronic conditions. Depression was diagnosed in 11% of participants. Difficulties in managing diabetes and adhering to medications were reported by 26.4%, and 13.5% experienced side effects that affected adherence. Medication adherence levels were high in 48.3%, intermediate in 39.5%, and low in 12.2% of participants. Non-adherence was significantly associated with poor family support ( p = 0.017), difficulty managing diabetes ( p < 0.001), and medication side effects ( p = 0.001). In logistic regression analysis, poor family support (AOR = 1.83; 95% CI: 0.84–3.77, p = 0.023) and difficulty managing diabetes (AOR = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.18–1.49, p = 0.010) emerged as significant predictors of medication non-adherence. This study highlights the multifactorial nature of medication non-adherence among patients with T2DM in primary healthcare settings. The findings demonstrate a complex interplay of psychosocial and clinical factors—particularly poor family support, difficulty coping with diabetes, and adverse medication side effects—that significantly impact adherence. These factors interact synergistically, amplifying the risk of non-adherence. Therefore, effective interventions should adopt a holistic, patient-centered approach that integrates family engagement, psychological support, and personalized medication management. Embedding these strategies within the health coach model may enhance adherence, optimize glycemic control, and reduce diabetes-related complications.
The moderating role of social support on the impact of adverse childhood experiences on life satisfaction and mental health in adulthood Muath Aldomini, Jerry W. Lee, Anna Nelson, Rhonda Spencer Hwang, Khulud K. Alharbi, Tassnym H. Sinky, Baraa S. Quronfulah, Wahaj A. Khan, Mohamed O. Elamin, Mohamed O. Nour Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health, 2025 Objectives: To evaluate the role of positive and negative social supports (PSS and NSS) in moderating the association of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) with life satisfaction and mental health.Methods: A retrospective database analysis was done for the Biopsychosocial Religion and Health Cohort Study subjects (N = 10,194) residing in the United States and Canada (2006-2007).After controlling for confounders, a generalized linear model was used to evaluate the relationship between ACEs and life satisfaction and mental health, as well as the role of PSS subdomains (emotional, instrumental, informational, and companionship) and NSS subdomains (rejection or neglect, unsympathetic behavior, unwanted advice, and failure to provide help) had in these relationships.Result: The study sample was mainly composed of females (67.5 %) and Whites (63.6 %) with an average age of 61.65 13.59 years old.About 60.6 % of participants reported experiencing at least one ACE.ACEs have a negative association with life satisfaction and mental health.Better mental health and life satisfaction were favorably associated with PSS and negatively associated with NSS, respectively.With the exception of the rejection subdomain, NSS had no deteriorating influence on the relationship between ACEs and poor mental health and life satisfaction.In contrast, PSS significantly mitigated this relationship.Conclusions: When predicting both mental health and life satisfaction following ACEs, potential protective effects of PSS (mainly instrumental support) and debilitating effects of NSS (rejection) were noted.When interacting with individuals who have had ACEs, health providers need to be mindful of the possible effects of both PSS and NSS.More long-term studies are necessary, particularly in more diverse groups.
Age and gender differences in the association between depression and body mass index among Saudi adults Mohamed O. Nour, Khulud K. Alharbi, Tamara Abdulrahman Hafiz, Hatim A. Natto, Ali Mohsen Alshehri, Tassnym H. Sinky, Baraa Sami Quronfulah, Muath Ahmed G. Aldomini, Mohammed Ahmed Alharbi, Abdullah Ahmed Alghamdi Discover Psychology, 2024 Both obesity and depression pose significant public health challenges. Understanding the age-gender differences in the BMI-depression associations is crucial, especially in the Saudi context, where cultural norms, lifestyle factors, and socio-economic conditions may significantly influence these associations. We aimed to explore and elucidate these associations in Saudi adults, considering age and gender as crucial factors. The research utilized a cross-sectional web-based survey to examine the impact of age and gender on the associations between BMI and depression. The study included 4,683 Saudi adults aged 18–60 years. The questionnaire assessed socio-demographics, lifestyle factors, chronic illnesses, and self-reported height and weight to calculate BMI. Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), a self-reported scale, was used to evaluate depression, categorizing participants into depression and non-depression groups. A snowball convenience sampling was utilized, with clear inclusion and exclusion criteria established to mitigate potential biases. Data analysis was stratified by age and gender, and binary logistic regression was utilized to determine the associations between depression and BMI, incorporating odds ratios (ORs) in both crude and adjusted forms, along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The prevalence of depression was found to be 43.3%, while 21% of participants were classified as obese. Notably, individuals in the depression group were significantly older, predominantly female, and more likely to reside in the Western and Southern regions of Saudi Arabia. They had lower family income, were more frequently non-smokers, had a higher prevalence of chronic diseases, and had higher BMI. Moreover, obese individuals had significantly higher depression scores (p < 0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, OR for depression was significantly higher among obese individuals (1.92 [1.56–3.36]). Stratified analysis by age and gender revealed higher ORs for depression among obese participants in older age and among women. This study highlights a significant association between obesity and increased prevalence of depression, with notable age and gender differences in this association. The findings suggest that older adults and women, particularly those with obesity, are at a higher risk for depression. These insights emphasize the importance of tailoring public health strategies and mental health interventions to address the specific needs of these vulnerable groups in Saudi Arabia.
Assessment of Knowledge and Attitude of First Aid Management of Epistaxis among the General Population in Najran Region: A Cross-Sectional Study Ali Abdullah Alshehri, Ibrahim Nasser Al Sulaiman, Shuruq Talea Asiri, Sarah Saeed Aldughar, Nisreen Oudah Alqarni, Mohamed Osama Nour Advancements in Life Sciences, 2024 Background: Nasal bleeding, epistaxis, is a common emergency. Few Saudi studies exist on epistaxis awareness and first aid management. We aimed to assess knowledge and attitude of adults in Najran, Saudi Arabia towards epistaxis first aid management, as well as their association with sociodemographic factors.Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey was carried out involving general adults of Najran, Saudi Arabia, using a snowball sampling method. A pretested questionnaire was utilized for data collection. Knowledge and attitude scores were categorized as good/positive or poor/negative. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were carried out with odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and logistic regression analysis to investigate factors associated with knowledge and attitude towards epistaxis first aid management using SPSS Software.Results: The study included 518 participants with 58.9% experienced nosebleeds. Common causes were hypertension (24.5%) and nose injuries (23.7%). Factors as nasal dryness, blood thinner use, and tumors/nasal polyps were also identified. Around 60.2% believed first aid was necessary and 59.5% had good knowledge about epistaxis first aid management. Participants with university/higher education, employed in health sector, and with previous experience with nosebleed were more knowledgeable, more likely to have positive attitudes, and showed significantly higher ORs for knowledge and attitude scores compared to others.Conclusion: The study showed fair knowledge and attitude of Najran adults towards epistaxis first aid management with sociodemographic variables showing varying associations. Educational initiatives are needed especially for those with lower education, non-health sectors, and not experienced nosebleeds, to improve public first aid knowledge and attitudes.Keywords: Epistaxis; Knowledge; Attitude; First aid management; Saudi Arabia
Systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence, incidence and treatment outcomes of tuberculosis in Egypt: updated overview Mohamed O Nour, Sameh O Nour Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, 2024 Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Understanding its epidemiology and burden is critical for targeted interventions. Aim: To highlight the prevalence, incidence and treatment outcomes of TB in Egypt during the last 2 decades. Methods: For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched Medline/PubMed, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases. We searched the local databases for unpublished studies, and the reports of international agencies, applying clear inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search covered prevalence; incidence; treatment outcomes; age, gender and residence of patients; and type of TB. Data were analyzed using STATA version 16.0. Pooled estimates with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a random effects model. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI was used as effect measures for related variables. Heterogeneity across studies was assessed using the I² statistic with sub-group analysis. Results: A total of 23 studies from 22 governorates, out of 27 governorates, involving a 139 597 study population met the eligibility requirements with no publication bias. The pooled prevalence was 8.70 (95% CI: 5.80–12.41, I² = 92.7%) and the pooled incidence was 9.10 (95% CI: 6.65–14.86, I² = 95.5%) per 100 000 population. About 82.6% of cases showed cured/completed treatment, 4.4% failure of treatment, and 3.9% died. In the subgroup analyses, the odds of TB prevalence were higher among males than females (2.05; 95% CI: 1.44–3.28), among those living in rural than in urban areas (1.29; 95% CI: 0.61–1.97), in Upper Egypt and Greater Cairo than in Lower Egypt and Delta Region (1.85; 95% CI: 0.97–4.15). The odds of pulmonary TB prevalence were higher than the extrapulmonary TB (2.43; 95% CI: 1.63–5.71). The odds of the treatment cases who were cured/completed (1.04; 95% CI: 0.96–1.51), failed (1.71; 95% CI: 1.35–2.73), and died (1.12; 95% CI: 0.87–1.60) were higher in Lower Egypt than in Upper Egypt. Conclusion: TB incidence decreased in Egypt over the last two decades, but treatment outcomes were unsatisfactory, with variations across the different regions. To achieve TB eradication in Egypt, efforts should be made to sustain the TB control strategy by improving treatment outcomes and intensifying case finding and surveillance reporting.
Social Support and Psychological Distress of Women in Saudi Arabia: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study Khulud K. Alharbi, Tassnym H. Sinky, Muath Aldomini, Mohamed O. Nour Advances in Public Health, 2024 Background. Social support is an important determinant of the psychological health of women. Aim. To examine social support and its association with psychological distress among women in Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods. Data were gathered between February and July 2023, using a cross-sectional, anonymous, online survey of women in Saudi Arabia above the age of 18 (n = 414). The multidimensional scale of perceived social support was utilized to gauge social support. The brief symptom rating scale, a 5-item measure, was used to measure psychological distress. Associations between social support and psychological distress were determined using linear regression considering potential covariates. Results. Results show high levels of psychological distress, with 38.1% of respondents scoring moderate to severe levels of psychological distress. The most commonly reported symptoms of distress were “feeling tense or high-strung” and “feeling easily annoyed or irritated,” with 39.4% and 34.5%, respectively, of respondents experiencing these symptoms moderately to extremely. Moderately high levels of social support were reported, with 77.1% of participants agreeing or strongly agreeing with the “my family really tries to help me” statement. Family/interpersonal relationships, however, were simultaneously the most commonly reported stressor over the past 3 years (59.4%). Unadjusted and adjusted analyses show social support was negatively correlated with psychological distress (β = −0.284, p <0.001; adjusted β = −0.145, p = 0.042), indicating higher levels of social support were correlated with reduced psychological distress. Conclusions. Findings indicate moderate-to-high levels of psychological distress as well as social support and an inverse association between them. This information can be used to inform intervention development. To better understand these domains as they relate to psychological distress, future research is warranted.
