What Do Mothers Know About Nutrition? Impacts on Childhood Nutrition Outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa
Effectiveness of Social Prescribing for Mental Health Across Care Intensity Needs
Social prescribing is an innovative approach that aims to improve health and wellbeing by addressing nonmedical needs through community‐based supports and services. This approach can be delivered through link workers, who work closely with participants to understand their needs and connect them to appropriate services. While social prescribing shows potential for cost savings and improved care quality, further research is needed to understand its…
Childcare engagement among older adults in Australia and subsequent physical, psychosocial, and behavioral health outcomes
BACKGROUND: While intergenerational caregiving is increasingly prevalent among older individuals, longitudinal evidence on its associations with multidimensional health outcomes remains limited. PURPOSE: This study examined the associations between childcare engagement in older adults and various health and behavioral outcomes at follow-up. METHODS: We analyzed data from a cohort of >12 000 (range: 12 124-12 896) community-dwelling adults aged 70…
Social Activities and Risk of Dementia in Community-Dwelling Older People
This study provides evidence of social activities influencing dementia risk. Further investigations are required to uncover the mechanisms driving these observed relationships
Gender-specific aspects of socialisation and risk of cardiovascular disease among community-dwelling older adults
BACKGROUND: Gender influences cardiovascular disease (CVD) through norms, social relations, roles and behaviours. This study identified gender-specific aspects of socialisation associated with CVD. METHODS: A longitudinal study was conducted, involving 9936 (5,231 women and 4705 men) initially healthy, community-dwelling Australians aged 70 years or more from the ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) study and ASPREE Longitudinal Stu…
Double burden of malnutrition and its associated factors among women in low and middle income countries
The prevalence of underweight, overweight, and obesity was high among women of reproductive age in LMICs. Underweight, overweight, and obesity are influenced by sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral-related factors. This study shows that, in order to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2, a multifaceted intervention approach should be considered to prevent both forms of malnutrition in women of reproductive age. This can be achieved by…
Effectiveness of social prescribing for chronic disease prevention in adults
Understanding the rural–urban disparity in acute respiratory infection symptoms among under-five children in Sub-Saharan Africa
This study found that rural children were highly affected by ARIs in SSA. To reduce the excess ARIs in rural children, public health interventions aimed at impoverished households, home births, and unvaccinated and malnourished children are crucial
Prevalence and associated factors of HIV testing among reproductive-age women in eastern Africa
The pooled prevalence of HIV testing in eastern Africa was higher than most previous studies. Age of respondent, residence, wealth index, marital status, educational level, HIV knowledge, stigma indicator, risky sexual behavior, women who visit a health facility, multiple sexual partnerships, early initiation of sex and community illiteracy level were significantly associated with HIV testing. There should be an integrated strategic plan to give …
Complete basic childhood vaccination and associated factors among children aged 12–23 months in East Africa
In East Africa, full basic childhood vaccine coverage remains a major public health concern with substantial differences across countries. Complete basic childhood vaccination was significantly associated with maternal age, maternal education, husband education, media exposure, preceding birth interval, number of ANC visits, PNC visits, place of delivery, child-size at birth, parity, wealth index, country, and community poverty. Public health int…
Spatial distribution and determinants of household iodized salt utilization in Ethiopia
Household iodized salt utilization had significant spatial variation across the country. Both household and community level variables were found to be associated with household iodized salt utilization in Ethiopia. Therefore, increasing the education level, wealth status and community media exposure is recommended to improve iodized salt utilization in a country. A targeted intervention is also needed for those regions with low household iodized …
Exploring spatial variations and factors associated with skilled birth attendant delivery in Ethiopia
Skilled birth attendant delivery had spatial variations across the country. Areas with non-skilled birth attendant delivery and mothers who had no formal education, not health insured, mothers from poor households and communities, Primiparous women, mothers from remote areas, and mothers from communities with higher childcare burden could get special attention in terms of allocation of resources including skilled human power, and improved access …
Individual and community level factors associated with anemia among lactating mothers in Ethiopia using data from Ethiopian demographic and health survey, 2016; a multilevel analysis
In this study the prevalence of anemia among lactating mothers was high. It was affected by both individual and community level factors. Therefore, focusing on family planning services especially on modern contraceptive methods, iron supplementation during pregnancy, child spacing, and improving community literacy could decrease anemia during lactation
Factors associated with zinc utilization for the management of diarrhea in under-five children in Ethiopia
Background Zinc has a tremendous advantage to save the life of children. It reduces the mean duration of diarrhea and mortality due to diarrhea. Besides, it reduces the severity of the initial episode, and also it prevents future diarrhea episodes. But there is low utilization of zinc for the management of diarrhea in under-five children in Ethiopia and there is a paucity of literature regarding the factors associated with the utilization. Method…
Trends and Spatio-temporal variation of female genital mutilation among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia
Female genital mutilation practice has shown a remarkable decrease over time in Ethiopia. Public health programs targeting rural, non-educated, unemployed, and those women with no access to media would be helpful to maintain the decreasing trend of FGM practice. The significant Spatio-temporal clustering of FGM was observed across regions in Ethiopia. Public health interventions must target the identified clusters as well
