Interrelationships Among the Social Determinants of Health and Self‐Care Practices of Older Persons in Ghana
This study investigates the influence of social determinants of health (SDH) on the self‐care practices of older adults in Ghana using data from the 2021 Ghana Population and Housing Census. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to assess both direct and indirect effects on self‐care practices among individuals aged 60 years and older. Results indicate that healthcare access ( β = 0.93), education ( β = 0.75), economic stability ( β = 0.74…
Gender and Urban–Rural Disparities in Housing, Environmental Sustainability and the Physical Well‐Being of Older Adults in Ghana
Background: The rapid growth in the population of older adults creates challenges such as workforce shortages, higher healthcare costs and poor living conditions. These strain the existing social support systems and the decline in the physical well‐being of older adults. This study examines how gender, urban–rural differences, housing conditions and environmental sustainability impact the physical well‐being of older adults in Ghana. Methods: Usi…
Interrelationships Between the Holistic Wellbeing Quadrants and Social Wellbeing of Older Persons in Ghana
The global population is ageing at an unprecedented rate, with Africa experiencing the fastest growth in the number of older persons (aged 60 and above), followed by Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia. Like other developing nations, such as Zimbabwe, Namibia, India and Indonesia, Ghana is witnessing a rapid rise in its ageing population. It is crucial to understand and address the unique wellbeing needs of Ghanaian older persons. This study ex…
Rural-urban variation in hypertension among women in Ghana
Women from urban and rural areas shed similar chance to be hypertensive in Ghana. Therefore, the health sector needs to target women from both areas of residence (rural/urban) when designing their programmes that are intended to modify women's lifestyle in order to reduce their risks of hypertension. Other categories of women that need to be prioritised to avert hypertension are those who are heading towards the end of their reproductive age, ric…
Effect of sexual violence on planned, mistimed and unwanted pregnancies among women of reproductive age in sub-Saharan Africa
Sexual violence plays a key role in mistimed and unwanted pregnancies. It is, therefore, prudent to develop various assessment techniques to detect sexual violence in unions and refer victims to appropriate services to diminish the risk of mistimed and unwanted pregnancies. Our findings provide a basis for developing and implementing policies and interventions aimed at reducing mistimed and unwanted pregnancies
Women’s healthcare decision-making capacity and HIV testing in sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan African countries intending to improve HIV testing need to incorporate women's healthcare decision-making capacity strategies. These strategies can include education and counselling. This is essential because our study indicates that the capacity of women to make healthcare decisions has an association with decision to test for their HIV status
