Burden of prehypertension among adults in Kenya
Approximately one in every two Kenyan adults has prehypertension. This calls for urgent development and roll-out of a national BP screening and control programme. It also provides a strong basis for the formulation of multisectoral national policies that will ensure implementation of evidence-based, low-cost public health interventions geared towards primary prevention of hypertension, especially in population groups that are traditionally consid…
Prevalence and predictors of physical inactivity levels among Kenyan adults (18–69 years)
A modest prevalence of physical inactivity slightly higher than in neighbouring countries was found in this study. Gender, age, education level and wealth index are evident areas that predict physical inactivity which can be focused on to develop programs that would work towards reducing physical inactivity among adults in Kenya
Prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension and their determinants
This study provides the first nationally-representative estimates for hypertension in Kenya. Prevalence among adults is high, with unacceptably low levels of awareness, treatment and control. The results also reveal that men are less aware of their hypertension status hence special attention should focus on this group
Research for Actionable Policies
ow-to middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected by the rise in prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). According to the World Health Organization, four groups of diseases-cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease and diabetes -comprise 82% of NCD deaths worldwide and three-quarters of the deaths related to NCD occur in LMIC In Sub-Saharan Africa, the World Bank estimates that nearly 46% of all deaths will b…
