Exploring the liver–kidney axis in the Ghanaian population
Physical activity domains and their associations with psychosocial well-being and cardiometabolic outcomes among Ghanaians in Europe and Ghana
Migrants in Europe report lower physical activity (PA), increasing chronic disease risk. Exercise programs show limited impact; targeting culturally familiar PA domains may be more effective. We compared PA domains (work, transport, recreational) between Ghanaians in Europe and Ghana and assessed associations with psychosocial well-being and cardiometabolic outcomes. Cross-sectional RODAM data included 2,397 Ghanaians in Europe and 2,363 in Ghana…
Incidence, long-term predictors and progression of chronic kidney disease among African migrants and non-migrants
BACKGROUND: Limited longitudinal data exist on chronic kidney disease (CKD) in African populations undergoing epidemiological transitions. We investigated incidence, long-term predictors and progression of CKD among Ghanaians residing in Ghana and Ghanaian migrants in the Netherlands (Amsterdam). METHODS AND FINDINGS: We analysed data from 2183 participants in the transcontinental population-based prospective Research on Obesity and Diabetes amon…
Exploring Stakeholders’ Perceptions of Electronic Personal Health Records for Mobile Populations Living in Disadvantaged Circumstances
(1) Background: Mobile populations living in disadvantaged circumstances often face disrupted continuity of care due to incomplete or inaccessible health records. This feasibility study explored the perceived usefulness of Electronic Personal Health Records (EPHRs) in enhancing access to and continuity of care for mobile populations across Denmark, Ghana, Kenya, and The Netherlands. (2) Methods: A qualitative study using ninety semi-structured in…
The Magnitude and Directions of the Associations between Early Life Factors and Metabolic Syndrome Differ across Geographical Locations among Migrant and Non-Migrant Ghanaians—The Rodam Study
The magnitude and direction of the associations between ELFs and MetSyn differ across geographical locations. Intermediate maternal education was positively associated with MetSyn among urban Ghanaians, while LHR and low paternal education were inversely associated with MetSyn among migrant Ghanaians. Further research into the interplay of genetics, environment and behaviour is needed to elucidate the underlying pathological mechanisms of MetSyn …
Association between Practising Religion and Cardiovascular Disease Risk among Ghanaian Non-Migrants and Migrants in Europe
(1) Background: Sub-Saharan African migrants residing in high-income countries are more affected by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and associated risk factors than host populations for unclear reasons. The aim was to explore the associations of religion and religious affiliations with CVD risk among Ghanaian non-migrants and migrants in Europe. (2) Methods: The 10-year CVD risk was estimated using pooled cohort equations for 3004 participants fro…
Prevalence and determinants of type 2 diabetes among lean African migrants and non-migrants
BACKGROUND: Exposure to adverse conditions earlier in life-course can predispose to type 2 diabetes in adulthood, irrespective of body mass index (BMI). However, the burden of type 2 diabetes in lean Africans is not well understood despite higher exposure to adverse early life conditions. Mirroring ongoing epidemiological transition, we assessed the burden and determinants of type 2 diabetes in a homogenous group of lean Ghanaians residing in rur…
Your health is your wealth
The African migrant communities in Europe face many challenges including poor health outcomes. Migrant community leaders can play a crucial role in addressing the health needs of their community members. In this paper, we described Sub-Saharan African migrant community leaders’ action to improve the health of their faith-based community members in Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Association between socioeconomic position and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Ghanaians in different geographic locations
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diabetes has been shown to be socially patterned but the direction of the association in low-income countries and among migrant populations in Europe has varied in the literature. This study examined the association between socioeconomic position (SEP) and diabetes in Ghanaians in Europe and in Ghana. METHODS: Data were derived from the multicentre Research on Obesity and Diabetes among African Migrants (RODAM) study…
Metaphorical constructions of hypertension among three ethnic groups in the Netherlands
Metaphors people employ to speak about their hypertension open up a space for patients to explain how they understand their hypertension and how they want to live with it even if it means resisting recommendations put forward by their doctors. It is therefore necessary to find metaphors that can work for health care providers and patients that work the best for communication about hypertension and its medical treatment
