Validation of cognitive and psychosocial tools in Kenya
The successful adaptation of these assessment tools in Kenya demonstrates the feasibility of implementing rigorous cognitive and psychosocial measurements in low-resource settings. These findings provide a methodological framework for future aging studies in similar contexts across Sub-Saharan Africa
World Health Organization 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour
Objectives To describe new WHO 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Methods The guidelines were developed in accordance with WHO protocols. An expert Guideline Development Group reviewed evidence to assess associations between physical activity and sedentary behaviour for an agreed set of health outcomes and population groups. The assessment used and systematically updated recent relevant systematic reviews; new primary r…
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
Dietary risk factors for non-communicable diseases in Kenya
Dietary risk communication should be targeted to males and people under 45 years of age, especially students. Further research is necessary to understand the knowledge: practice mismatch on unhealthy diets
