Consumer Psychology and Behavior of Women of Different Ages in Online Clothing Consumption

By analyzing the customer's product evaluation (n=1,173) of women's clothing orders on an online shopping platform, this paper studies the preferences of women of different age groups (younger group aged 20-40 years and elder group aged 60-80 years) for different types of clothing purchasing behaviors. The hypothesis considered in our study is for younger group, they are more inclined to buy fashionable and good-looking clothes. For the elderly, they pay more attention to the comfort when measuring a piece of clothing. We test this hypothesis at two levels: We conduct a textual analysis of 1,173 data from LIWC's custom dictionary on the two most obvious characteristics of clothes, the appearance and comfort of clothes. And conduct custom dictionary analysis on the dressing scenes of different groups. Our results show that age is negatively related to the emphasis placed on clothing choices, with the older group placing even more importance on the appearance of clothing than the younger group. It could also be explained that the older group would choose clothes that look prettier rather than those that are comfortable to wear, since they would be involved in more special occasions instead of comfortable clothing for casual scenes. This paper will also discuss the relationship between the purchasing behavior of women of different ages and consumer psychology, aiming to find the change of the consumption pattern of women of specific age groups on the online shopping platform. The study provides meaningful insights on e-commerce, consumer behavior, fashion industry.

The review addresses the current view on the dyspareunia pathogenesis associated with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.

Home-Based Work Decisions among Bangladeshi Women

Between 2003 and 2015, the labor force participation rate of women in Bangladesh increased from 26.0% to 35.6%. On further analysis, we find that much of this gain was due to an increasing number of women working from home. We use the model proposed by Edwards and Field-Hendrey (2002) to study the supply-side factors that affect the location-of-work decision of Bangladeshi women. Afterward, we use a simplified version of the decomposition technique devised by Bourguignon, Ferreira, and Leite (2008) to see which factors are driving women to work from home. Our analysis shows that the rising wealth of Bangladeshi households is associated with the rising number of women choosing to work from home. This trend is prevalent among urban and rural women, and among women in different age groups. We also find that married young women are more likely to work from home.

Monitoring the arsenal of rare Technical actions in Sambo wrestling

According to the results of the analysis of Scientific and methodological and reference literature (monitoring of specialized Internet sources), the members of the Scientific Research Group established that insufficient number of studies have been devoted to the topical issue of defining the Technical and Tactical arsenal of highly qualified wrestlers, this, in turn, emphasizes the relevance and practical component of the chosen direction of Scientific research.
 The main goal of the study is to determine the Technical arsenal of rare Sambo fighting techniques (sports section). In the process of research and analytical work, members of the Research Group used the following methods: abstraction, measurement, expert evaluation, survey, comparison, observation, etc. In addition, our own experience in organizing a System of long-term training of highly qualified wrestlers was used.
 As a result of the theoretical research, the members of the Scientific Research Group determined the Technical arsenal of rare methods of Sambo wrestling (sports section), which consists of 10 main groups of Technical and Tactical actions of the studied single combat, namely: 1) throws with the help of legs; 2) throws with the use of the body; 3) throws through the chest; 4) throws with the use of hands; 5) spin throws; 6) takeover; 7) combinations with throws; 8) combinations that develop during the opponent's resistance during the first throw; 9) defense against throws; 10) lying wrestling techniques.
 The inclusion of the appropriate content of the above-mentioned groups of Technical and Tactical Sambo fighting actions in the System of long-term training of sportsmen and women of different age groups and weight categories will contribute to increasing the indicators of their competitive activity. This will ensure the improvement of the image of Ukraine on the world sports arena.
 The members of the Research Group suggest that trainers who specialize in Sambo wrestling take the information into account and include the list of rare techniques of the studied single combat in the System of self-education, with their subsequent introduction into the System of long-term training of subordinate Sambo wrestlers.
 Prospects for further research in the chosen field of Scientific research include an analytical-statistical analysis of the Technical –Tactical preparedness of highly qualified Sambo athletes – participants of the "World Championship-2022".

Features of quantitative content of bone component in women of different age and сonstitution

BACKGROUND: Body component composition, including bone components, is dynamic. Obtaining objective information on body composition will allow solving a significant number of applied and theoretical problems in the field of personalized medicine.
 AIM: To study the quantitative parameters of the bone component of the body in women of different age groups while taking body types into account.
 MATERIAL AND METHODS: The physical status of 580 female Kyrgyz women was studied. The women were allocated into three age groups: the youth period (1620 years) with 210 girls, the first period of adulthood (2135 years) with 186 women, and the second period of adulthood (3655 years) with 184 women. Somatotyping was carried out in accordance with the scheme of GalantNikityukChtetsov (I.B. Galant, 1927; V.P. Chtetsov, 1979; B.А. Nikityuk, 1983) with informed consent. Bone component content was determined by using the method of J. Matiegka (1921).
 RESULTS: A total of 20, 32, 33, and 15% of the women were of the leptosomal, mesosomal, megalosomal, and indefinite somatotypes. Compared with the absolute content of the bone component in girls with the leptosomal somatotype, that of girls with the mesosomal somatotype almost did not change, that of girls with the megalosomal somatotype had increased by 1.2 times (p 0.05), and that of girls with the indefinite somatotype had increased by 1.1 times (p 0.05). The percentage of the bone component of the body in girls with the leptosomal somatotype was lower by 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5 times (all p 0.05) than that in girls with the mesosomal, megalosomal, and indefinite somatotypes, respectively. In women in the first period of adulthood, the percentage of leptosomal somatotypes was 1.4 times lower than that of the mesosomal, megalosomal and indeterminate somatotypes (all p 0.05), respectively. In women in the second period of adulthood, the percentage of leptosomal somatotypes was 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 times lower than that of the mesosomal, megalosomal, and indefinite somatotypes (all p 0.05), respectively.
 CONCLUSION: The absolute mass of the bone component of the body had minimal values in girls and women of mature age of leptosomal somatotypes (6.07.1 kg) and maximum values in megalosomal somatotypes (6.69.2 kg). In women of the second period of adulthood, in comparison with girls, its percentage in representatives of all somatotypes decreases (by 1.11.2 times).

Prevalence of Vaginal Candidiasis among women and Diagnosis of Candida species from vaginal infection in Kirkuk city

Vaginal candidiasis is a common complaint among women of different age groups in any society whether or not they are sexually active. Although it is both treatable and mild, when left untreated, The study was set to detect Candida organisms in women vaginal. A prospective study of women vaginal swabs collected from Gynecological Clinic in Azadi teaching Hospital and some privet clinical in Kirkuk city and a total of two hundred (200) women swab were analysed for microscopy and culture, from May 2014 to April 2015. Data on epidemiologic indices were collected from the patients, using structured interviewer-administered questionnaires. fifty- seven positive cultures were obtained, constituting 28.5% (n = 57) in a total of 200 women vaginal samples. A total of 28.5% (n= 57) isolates were detected which comprises four different Candida species, namely Candida albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei and C. kefyre respectively as well as isolated Cryptococcus lorynti with frequency of occurrence of 23%, 2%, 1.5%, o.5% and 1.5% respectively. The isolates were related to age, the age range of 26-35 years had the highest incidence (35%), followed by age range of 36-45 years (29.5%) and 56-88 years had the least (2%) percentage of occurrence. The isolates were also related to used contraceptives, copper-T contraceptives and combined oral contraceptives 41.5% was the most common methods used by recurrent vaginitis patients while the male condom contraceptives users had lower cure (26.5%). The distribution of vaginal candidiasis according antibiotic using was highest in women take antibiotic with 64.4% of the total 200 cases, while the women don’t take antibiotic was recorded lowest occurrence (35.5%). The result shows that Candida species has assumed the role of the most common cause of vaginitis, with Candida albicans as the most prevalent species. vaginal candidiasis was common in the young adults o age range of 26-35 years, contraceptive , broad spectrum antibiotic users ,other diseases and operation .We therefore recommend prevention, early diagnosis and prompt treatment of vaginal candidiasis especially among the risk groups in order to avert its complications.

Women's Smoking as an Important Problem of Public Health

Today, smoking has become a pandemic not only in the medical aspect, but also psychological, economic and social. This problem is especially acute today for the female part of the world's population, as the female body is more susceptible to the negative effects of nicotine. Women's refusal to smoke will reduce the risk of developing diseases and improve their health. The aim of the article is to explore women's motivation to tobacco smoking and quitting this addiction. We conducted a sociological survey among female smokers who visit beauty salons in order to find out the prevalence of smoking among women and assess their motivation to quit this addiction. The survey involved 150 women of different age groups. It was determined that solving the problem of tobacco smoking among female smokers requires taking into account their individual and age characteristics in order to correctly select the motivational factors for smoking cessation. It was found that despite active preventive measures taken by public health bodies in every country of the world, the rates of smoking among women, mainly of reproductive age, are increasing, which poses a threat to human health in general and requires revision and improvement of approaches to counteracting the involvement of women in the use of tobacco products. Based on the results of the research, practical recommendations have been developed to improve the smoking counteraction system in the direction of individual work undertaken by public health professionals with women, taking into account their motivation to smoking and quitting it.

Sero-prevalence of hepatitis B infection among antenatal patients at tertiary care hospital - A prospective study

Hepatitis B infection in a neonate leads to chronic forms of the infection in 90% of the cases associated with the high risk of complications. This is due to transplacental transmission of HBV to the neonates. Early intervention can prevent the infection in the neonates or prevent them to succumb to a chronic infection. The present study aims to explore the seroprevalence of the HBsAg in the blood samples from healthy pregnant women patients.: A total of 200 blood samples were collected from pregnant women attending anti-natal clinic at ZMCH Dahod. HbsAg ELISA and rapid antigen test (HEPA CARD) were used to detect the surface antigen of hepatitis B virus.The age wise distribution of hepatitis B infection in pregnant women using HBsAg specific ELISA shows a total prevalence of 5.26% of hepatitis B infection among pregnant women of different age groups. The prevalence of hepatitis B infection among women of age groups 18-27 years to be 4.76%, followed with 6.89% in age group 28-37 years. The present study shows a prevalence range of 4% to 5.26% of hepatitis B infection among antenatal women.

Гендерные и возрастные особенности больных с хронической сердечной недостаточностью в реальной клинической практике

Aim: to assess and describe gender- and age-specific characteristics of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Patients and Methods: in this retrospective study with a prospective component the authors analyzed medical records of 197 patients with CHF, including: CHF stage and functional class, co-morbidities, and echocardiography (Echo) findings. Twenty four (21, 28) months after discharging patients from the hospital, telephone follow-up calls were made to the patients and/or their relatives, and medical documentation of the medical information system was reviewed to assess the vital status of patients or the causes of lethal outcomes. For evaluating the obtained results, patients were divided into groups by gender and age. The middle-aged group comprised of males (45 to 59 years) and females (45 to 54 years) — 18 (9.1%) patients. The group of elderly persons included males (60 to 74 years) and females (55 to 74 years) — 69 (35.1%) patients. The senile group consisted of persons aged 75 years and over — 110 (55.8%) patients. Results: the median and interquartile range of patient age were 74.7 (68, 82) years. In the groups of middle-aged and elderly persons there were more men than women (р=0.001), while women prevailed in the senile group (р<0.001). The diagnosis of HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) was established more frequently in males than in females, and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.006). There were no statistically significant differences between male and female patients as regards the prevalence of HF with moderately reduced LVEF (HFmrEF). HF with preserved LVEF (HFpEF) was diagnosed more frequently in females than in males, and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.007). Using pair-wise comparison of LVEF in women of different age groups, it was shown that HFmrEF was more prevalent in middle-aged than in elderly (р=0.024) or senile (р=0.011) patients. The prevalence of HFpEF was higher in senile than in middle-aged women (р=0.012). No statistically significant differences in LVEF were found between the male patients of different age groups. There were no significant differences between males and females of middle-aged and elderly groups as regards the prevalence of co-morbidities. However, among senile persons co- morbidities were found more frequently in women than in men, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: more than half of the patients with CHF were senile persons. Most patients with CHF in the elderly group were males, and in the senile group — females. It is necessary to consider gender and age-specific characteristics in the management of CHF patients, risk stratification and in the selection of adequate therapy.

Research on Body Image Anxiety among Women in the Social Media Environment

With the rise of social media platforms and the pervasive influence of idealized body standards, women are increasingly exposed to images and messages that perpetuate unrealistic beauty ideals. This study aims to explore the impact of social media on women's body image perception and its subsequent effects on their mental health and well-being. A comprehensive literature review is conducted to gather insights from existing research, followed by an analysis of primary data collected through surveys and interviews with women of different age groups. The findings reveal that the social media environment exerts significant pressure on women to conform to narrow beauty standards, leading to increased body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and heightened levels of anxiety. The paper concludes with recommendations for individuals, social media platforms, and society at large to mitigate the negative impact of social media on women's body image and promote a more inclusive and positive online environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AMONG WOMEN: A SAMPLE STUDY OF WOMEN AT SUMMER HILL, SHIMLA

The study was conducted to find out the level of awareness among women as the environmental degradation touching such alarming proportions it is felt that we all must be pro-active in preserving it. With this object, it was decided to find out a target group and analyze its awareness about the environmental concerns. The effort was to look for a group whose awareness would impact not only itself but a large number of people around. Teachers could be one such group, the other could be students. The search ultimately narrowed down to women, whose awareness of the environmental concerns would be beneficial for the entire family. Besides, she is the one who could inculcate the positive attitude about the issue among the children right from childhood, which would go a long way in preserving the environment. Therefore, we prepared a questionnaire to test environmental awareness among women of different age groups staying at Summer Hill, Shimla.

Аналіз ступенів ризику наявності новоутворів у молочних залозах жінок зрілого і літнього віку за даними скринінгової мамографії

The purpose of the study was to find out the frequency of manifestation of pathological changes in the mammary glands during screening mammographic examination in a randomized sample of mature and elderly women. Materials and methods. According to the results of the processing of a randomized sample of archival anonymized mammograms of 100 women (50 – mature and 50 – elderly) who underwent a screening or preventive examination, the state of breast condition was assessed according to the BI-RADS scale in accordance with the degree of risk of the presence of mammary gland neoplasms, using the following assessment categories: 0 – incomplete study (additional examination is required); 1 – negative (no neoplasm detected); 2 – benign changes. Results and discussion. It was established that among mature and elderly women undergoing screening or preventive mammographic examinations, in 19% only age changes in the mammary gland were verified. Benign changes in the form of calcifications, calcified vessels, axillary or intramammary lymph nodes without metastatic signs of degeneration, which correspond to category 2 on the BI-RADS scale, were found in one mammary gland or bilaterally in 72% of the examined individuals. 28% of examined mature and elderly women need additional examination to verify the diagnosis. It was established that among mature and elderly women, according to mammography data, categories 1 and 2 on the BI-RADS scale are more often manifested on the right, category 0 – on the left, and the frequency of manifestation of changes corresponding to category 0 on the BI-RADS scale among the elderly increases comparing to mature. Studying the frequency of detection of pathological changes in mammary gland during screening examinations in randomized samples can become a theoretical basis for forecasting the dynamics of mammary gland incidence in women of different age groups, identifying risk groups and developing preventive measures for mammary gland pathology of various genesis and methods of its early diagnosis. Conclusion. Among mature and elderly women undergoing screening or preventive mammographic examinations, only age-related changes were verified in the mammary glands in only 19%, and changes which are verified as benign or require additional examination were detected in 81%. According to the results of mammography, 28% of examined mature and elderly women need additional examination to verify the diagnosis. Among mature and elderly women in a randomized sample, according to mammography data, categories 1 and 2 on the BI-RADS scale are more often manifested on the right, category 0 – on the left. The frequency of manifestation of changes corresponding to category 0 on the BI-RADS scale among the elderly increases compared to the mature

Association between Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Women's Infertility, NHANES 2013-2016.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widely used in consumer products. However, the role of PFAS in infertility is still poorly understood. A total of 788 women from the 2013-2016 nationally representative NHANES were included to explore the association between PFAS exposure and self-reported infertility. Six PFAS, including PFDE, PFNA, PFHxS, n-PFOA, n-PFOS, and Sm-PFOS, were detected by online SPE-HPLC-TIS-MS/MS. We used the generalized linear regression model (GLM), generalized additive models (GAM), and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) to assess the single effects, non-linear relationships, and mixed effects on women's infertility, respectively. The prevalence of self-reported infertility was 15.54% in this study. In GLM, n-PFOA showed a negative association with self-reported infertility in women for the Q3 (OR: 0.396, 95% CI: 0.119, 0.788) and Q4 (OR: 0.380, 95% CI: 0.172-0.842) compared with Q1 (p for trend = 0.013). A negative trend was also observed in n-PFOS and ∑PFOS (p for trend < 0.05). In GAM, a non-linear relationship was revealed in Sm-PFOS, which exhibits a U-shaped relationship. The BKMR model indicated that there might be a joint effect between PFAS and women's infertility, to which PFNA contributed the highest effect (PIP = 0.435). Moreover, age stratification analysis showed a different dose-response curve in under and above 35 years old. Women under the age of 35 have a more noticeable U-shaped relationship with infertility. Therefore, the relatively low level of mixed PFAS exposure was negatively associated with self-reported infertility in women in general, and the impact of PFAS on infertility may vary among women of different age groups. Further studies are needed to determine the etiological relationship.

A Histopathological Study of Endometrial Biopsy Samples in Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the most common health issue in women,defined as any bleeding pattern that differs in frequency, duration, and amount. Endometrial sampling and its histopathological examination is the first-line test in patients presenting with AUB.The aim of this study was to analyze the histopathological patterns of endometrium in women with AUB and to find the predominant histopathologic pattern in the different age groups of women with AUB. The study wasconducted at the Indira Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Puducherry, from January 2019 to December 2020. Endometrial biopsies of patients with AUB, in whom gestational causes were ruled out, were included in this study. Out of the 160 cases analyzed, the maximum number of biopsies were from the age group of 41-50 years; the majority of patients presented with complaints of menorrhagia. The bleeding pattern was significantly associated with age groups (p=0.00). Of 160 cases, 104 cases were related to functional causes. The association of functional and organic causes with age group was not significant (p=0.67 and p=0.99, respectively). The most common histological pattern was the normal cyclical pattern showing proliferative (56) and secretory phase (30) in 86 cases. Of 42 cases of endometrial hyperplasia, 9 cases had atypical hyperplasia. The endometrial polyp was the other common organic lesion observed. Only two cases of endometrial carcinoma were reported during the present study period. Although a regular cyclical pattern is observed commonly, endometrial sampling should be considered in the peri- and post-menopausal age groups wherein the incidence of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma is more common.

Gender and Religious Identity: Intersecting Axes of Discrimination in The Breadwinner Animated Movie (2017)

This study, entitled “Gender and Religious Identity: Intersecting Axes of Discrimination in The Breadwinner Animated Movie (2017)”, highlights the importance of conceptualizing gender discrimination related to religious identity as inherently shaped by society. Using intersectional theoretical perspectives - the narrative and cinematography elements and gender studies – this study examines how gender and religious identity are inextricably linked to portray the main character’s experiences of discrimination. The analysis begins with narrative and illustrative data showing how the main character’s background as a daughter and Muslim results in multiple layers of discrimination. Her gender and religious affiliation substantially influence the discrimination. Moreover, bias varies for men and women of different age groups. The main character experiences more discrimination as a teenage girl than her disguised character as a teenage boy. Women are significantly more likely to face gender discrimination than men, but girls are enormous. Hence, this concurrent examination of the main character’s gender and religious identity reveals that she is characterized by high rates of discrimination throughout her childhood, in a way teenage boys are not. The main character’s experience of discrimination highlights the importance of conceptualizing gender and religious identity as intersecting axes of discrimination.

Anaemia a Clue for Prospective Risk for Hypothyroidism among Women of Different Age Groups

Anaemia a Clue for Prospective Risk for Hypothyroidism among Women of Different Age Groups

Cardiovascular risk factors and underlying pathology and prevalence of lipid plaques in women with acute coronary syndromes in different age groups

Abstract Background An incidence of cardiovascular events increases with age in women. The relationship between cardiovascular risk factors, and the underlying pathology and the prevalence of lipid plaques has not been systematically studied in different age groups in women presented with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Purpose We investigated the underlying pathology and the prevalence of lipid plaques in culprit lesions by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in women with different risk factors. Methods A total of 382 women who underwent pre-intervention OCT imaging were included. The underlying pathology and the prevalence of lipid plaques in the culprit lesion was compared between women with and without cardiovascular risk factors (i.e. hypertension, smoking, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, family history and chronic kidney disease) in three different age groups (<60 yr, 60–70 yr, >70 yr). Results The relative prevalence of plaque erosion was higher in younger women (<60 yr) and decreased with age (from 51% to 28%, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of lipid plaques between women with and without risk factors, except a higher prevalence of lipid plaques in current smokers compared to non-smokers (79% vs. 63%, p=0.003). In women with hyperlipidemia, the prevalence of lipid plaques was modest in young ages (<60 yr), but increased steeply with age (p<0.001). The increasing age trend for lipid plaque was also observed in women with hypertension (p=0.03) and current smokers (p=0.01). In women with diabetes mellitus and family history, the prevalence of lipid plaques was high even in young ages (<60 yr) and did not increase with age. Conclusion The prevalence of plaque erosion was higher in younger women (<60 yr) and decreased with age. Current smokers had significantly higher prevalence of lipid plaque. Patients with diabetes and positive family history had a higher prevalence of lipid plaque at young age. The prevalence of lipid plaques increased with age particularly in women with hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: Foundation.

Comparison of Physical Function among Elderly Japanese Women with and without Low Bone Mass and Low Muscle Mass: A Cross-Sectional Study of Older Women Who Engage in Regular Physical Activity.

A decline in physical function is common among elderly people who have lost both bone and muscle mass. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between low bone and muscle mass and physical function in elderly women of different age groups who exercise regularly. The analysis included 299 elderly women. Low bone mass was determined by a T-score of −2.5 or less, and low muscle mass was determined by a skeletal muscle mass index of <5.7 kg/m2. Physical function was measured by grip strength, knee extension strength, standing ability, gait function, and balance function. The participants were divided into four groups based on bone and muscle mass (healthy, low bone mass, low muscle mass, and low bone and muscle mass groups), and their physical functions were compared. There were no statistically significant differences in physical function between the low bone and muscle mass and the healthy groups. There were also no statistically significant differences in physical function among the four groups in the late elderly stage (75 and older). Elderly women who exercise regularly are less likely to experience a decline in physical function, even if they have reduced bone and muscle mass.

Awareness and knowledge of uterine fibroid among women in Kerala, India

Uterine fibroid is a common pelvic tumor seen in women of reproductive age causing complications and affecting the quality of life of women. Despite the fact that fibroids are ubiquitous and have a major impact, public awareness of uterine fibroids is exceedingly low. Hence, the study aims to determine the amount of awareness present about uterine fibroid among women in Kerala. In order to assess the knowledge, an online based survey was carried out among women (n=417) for a period of six months. For that we had prepared a questionnaire which was divided into 2 parts, part 1 contains sociodemographic details of the participants, while the next part consisted of 21 questions which evaluates the knowledge of women towards uterine fibroid. The contact numbers or mail ID of women of different age groups were collected from certain women’s social groups and the prepared questionnaire has been sent to women through social medias such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Gmail and the responses were collected. This study concluded that, approximately 66.4% of women are aware of uterine fibroid, while the rest have various misconceptions, and thus awareness must be spread about it. Various measures such as educational programs and camps must be conducted in rural areas to improve the awareness of uterine fibroid among women which help in early management and thereby preventing the complications of the disease.
