	abstract = {Estimating the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and risk factors among the Roma population, the largest minority in Europe, and investigating the role of genetic or environmental/behavioral risk factors in CVD development are important issues in countries where they are significant minority. This study was designed to estimate the genetic susceptibility of the Hungarian Roma (HR) population to essential hypertension (EH) and compare it to that of the general (HG) population. Twenty EH associated SNPs (in AGT, FMO3, MTHFR-NPPB, NPPA, NPPA-AS1, AGTR1, ADD1, NPR3-C5orf23, NOS3, CACNB2, PLCE1, ATP2B1, GNB3, CYP1A1-ULK3, UMOD and GNAS-EDN3) were genotyped using DNA samples obtained from HR (N = 1176) and HG population (N = 1178) subjects assembled by cross-sectional studies. Allele frequencies and genetic risk scores (unweighted and weighted genetic risk scores (GRS and wGRS, respectively) were calculated for the study groups and compared to examine the joint effects of the SNPs. The susceptibility alleles were more frequent in the HG population, and both GRS and wGRS were found to be higher in the HG population than in the HR population (GRS: 18.98 ± 3.05 vs. 18.25 ± 2.97, p<0.001; wGRS: 1.4 [IQR: 0.93-1.89] vs. 1.52 [IQR: 0.99-2.00], p<0.01). Twenty-seven percent of subjects in the HR population were in the bottom fifth (GRS ≤ 16) of the risk allele count compared with 21% of those in the HG population. Thirteen percent of people in the HR group were in the top fifth (GRS ≥ 22) of the GRS compared with 21% of those in the HG population (p<0.001), i.e., the distribution of GRS was found to be left-shifted in the HR population compared to the HG population. The Roma population seems to be genetically less susceptible to EH than the general one. These results support preventive efforts to lower the risk of developing hypertension by encouraging a healthy lifestyle.},

	abstract = {SUMMARY
		Objectives: In Hungary, 37% of women living in poverty were smokers in 2012. There are no valid data of pregnant women’s spontaneous
		smoking cessation.
		Methods: Our retrospective cohort study (2009–2012) targeted the most underdeveloped regions with an estimated 6–8.5% of Roma population.
		The sample (N = 12,552) represented 76% of the target population i.e. women in four counties in a year delivering live born babies. Chi-square
		probe and multivariable logistic regression model (p < 0.05) were used to assess relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and
		spontaneous cessation.
		Results: Prior to pregnancy, the overall smoking rate was 36.8%. That of women in deep poverty and Roma was 49.7% and 51.1%, respectively.
		70.3% of smokers continued smoking during the pregnancy. Among them 80.6% lived in deep poverty. Spontaneous quitting rate was 23.0%. Factors
		correlated with continued smoking included being Roma (OR = 1.95), undereducated (OR = 2.66), living in homes lacking amenities (OR = 1.48),
		and having regularly smoking partner (OR = 2.07). Cessation was promoted by younger age (≤ 18 years) (OR = 0.18), being married (OR = 0.50),
		and the first pregnancy.
		Conclusions: Tailored cessation programmes are needed for Roma, older, low-income, and multiparous women who are less likely to quit on
		their own. Engaging husbands/partners is essential to reduce smoking among pregnant women and second-hand smoke exposure},

METHODS: We compared the results of two paired health interview surveys that we carried out using the same methodology before and after the Decade, on the general Hungarian and Roma populations. RESULTS: Self-perceived health status of younger Roma worsened, while it improved among older Roma. Reported experience of discrimination reduced considerably and health care utilization improved in general. Positive changes in smoking and nutrition, and negative changes in alcohol consumption and overweight were observed. Many of observed changes can plausibly be linked to various government policies, including a quadrupling of public works expenditure, banning smoking in public places, restricting marketing of tobacco products, increasing cigarette prices, and a new tax on unhealthy foods. Liberalization of rules on alcohol distillation coincided with worsening alcohol consumption. CONCLUSIONS: We have shown that Roma remain severely disadvantaged and present an innovative sampling method which can be used to monitor changes in groups where identification is a challenge.},

METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was delivered among Roma minority and local non-Roma population; 83 Roma and 126 non-Roma people were interviewed. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were applied to compare Roma and non-Roma populations. RESULTS: The prevalence of smoking was significantly higher and the support for tobacco control measures was significantly lower in the Roma population. This effect of ethnicity on attitudes toward tobacco control was explained somewhat, but not completely, by the Roma group's higher rate of smoking and lower level of education. CONCLUSIONS: Tobacco control policies are a proven strategy for denormalizing smoking and discouraging initiation. This strategy has important potential for Roma communities because of their high rates of tobacco use. However, this study shows that the Roma are resistant the efforts to limit smoking. Changing these attitudes will require targeted public health interventions that take into account not only the lower educational levels of the Roma, but also their cultural beliefs regarding tobacco.},
