  • Factors associated with pregnancy termination in women of childbearing age in 36 low-and middle-income countries

    Open AccessDjibril M Ba, Yue Zhang et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Lack of access to safe, affordable, timely and adequate pregnancy termination care, and the stigma associated with abortion in low-middle income countries (LMICs), pose a serious risk to women’s physical and mental well-being throughout the lifespan. Factors associated with pregnancy termination and their heterogeneity across countries in LMICs previously have not been thoroughly investigated. We aim to determine the relative significance of fact…

  • Prevalence and determinants of meeting minimum dietary diversity among children aged 6–23 months in three sub-Saharan African Countries

    Open AccessDjibril M Ba, Paddy Ssentongo et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Background: Dietary diversity is an indicator of nutritional adequacy, which plays a significant role in child growth and development. Lack of adequate nutrition is associated with suboptimal brain development, lower school performance, and increased risk of mortality and chronic diseases. We aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of meeting minimum dietary diversity (MDD), defined as consuming at least five out of eight basic food gr…

  • Village-level climate and weather variability, mediated by village-level crop yield, is associated with linear growth in children in Uganda

    Open AccessPaddy Ssentongo, Djibril M Ba et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    INTRODUCTION: To investigate total annual precipitation, precipitation anomaly and aridity index in relation to linear growth in children under 5 in Uganda and quantify the mediating role of crop yield. METHODS: We analysed data of 5219 children under 5 years of age who participated in the 2016 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey. Annual crop yield in kilograms per hectare for 42 crops at a 0.1° (~10 km at the equator) spatial resolution square …

  • Non-iodized salt consumption among women of reproductive age in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessDjibril M Ba, Paddy Ssentongo et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: To identify countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) that have not yet achieved at least 90 % universal salt iodization and factors associated with the consumption of non-iodized salt among women of reproductive age. Design: A cross-sectional study using data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). The presence of iodine in household salt (iodized or non-iodized), which was tested during the survey process, was the study outcome. Multi…
