Prevalence, time trends and associated factors of adult overweight and obesity in 36 countries in the WHO African region from 2003 to 2022
BACKGROUND: We investigated the prevalence, temporal trends and associated factors of overweight and obesity among adults in the WHO African region. METHODS: We analysed individual-level data from 54 nationally/sub-nationally representative STEPS surveys conducted between 2003 and 2022 among adults aged 18-69 years. Prevalence estimates were weighted and age-standardised. Time trends were estimated using a Bayesian spatiotemporal modelling approa…
Use of traditional medicine and control of hypertension in 12 African countries
BACKGROUND: Use of traditional medicine (TM) is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa as a treatment option for a wide range of disease. We aimed to describe main characteristics of TM users and estimate the association of TM use with control of hypertension. METHODS: We used data on 2128 hypertensive patients of a cross-sectional study (convenience sampling), who attended cardiology departments of 12 sub-Saharan African countries (Benin, Cameroon, Co…
Falsified and substandard cardiovascular drugs in Africa
ince 20 years, Africa has witnessed an exponential rise in cardiovascular risk factors. Today, if all people with hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa were treated effectively, about 250 000 deaths would be prevented annually [1]
Association between individual and neighbourhood socioeconomic factors and masticatory efficiency
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of evidence on the impact of socioeconomic factors on masticatory efficiency. The present study investigates the relationship between individual and neighbourhood socioeconomic factors (main exposure) and the number of masticatory units (MUs) used as surrogate of the masticatory efficiency (main outcome). METHODS: In this cross-sectional study nested in the Paris Prospective Study 3, 4270 adults aged 50-75 and recruite…
