Prevalence and factors associated with obesity in Rwanda
Obesity is an emerging public health concern in Rwanda, yet nationally representative data on its associated factors remain limited. This study analyzes recent survey data to assess the prevalence of obesity and explore associated demographic, behavioral, and metabolic characteristics. The study analyzed data from the 2022 Rwanda NCD STEPS Survey, a nationally representative cross-sectional study of 5,509 adults aged 18–69 years. Data collection …
Wealth inequalities in childhood stunting in the northern province of Rwanda
Childhood stunting remains a public health challenge, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In Rwanda, it is the highest in the Northern province, with a prevalence of 40.5% in children under five. Given that poverty is a key determinant of stunting, we aimed to investigate wealth inequalities in childhood stunting and to identify its contributing determinants in the province. We included 601 children aged 1 to 36 months. We estimated the concentrati…
Identification of amendable risk factors for childhood stunting at individual, household and community levels in Northern Province, Rwanda – a cross-sectional population-based study
Childhood stunting in the Northern Province of Rwanda is associated with several factors that could lend themselves to interventions, e.g., improved handwashing facilities, improved childcare practices and targeting vulnerable groups such as boys, households with twins or single parents. Additionally, a thorough exploration of identified risk factors through qualitative approaches involving all stakeholders in child and maternal nutrition is warr…
National, regional, and global trends in insufficient physical activity among adults from 2000 to 2022
BACKGROUND: Insufficient physical activity increases the risk of non-communicable diseases, poor physical and cognitive function, weight gain, and mental ill-health. Global prevalence of adult insufficient physical activity was last published for 2016, with limited trend data. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of insufficient physical activity for 197 countries and territories, from 2000 to 2022. METHODS: We collated physical activity reported …

Implementing wound dressing protocol to reduce post cesarean section surgical site infections in Mibilizi District Hospital, Rwanda
Purpose Caesarean section (CS) is one of the most common surgeries in the world. Although the procedure saves lives, it poses important risks such as post-caesarean surgical site infection (PCS-SSI). Basic patient care procedures can prevent PCS-SSI, however, they are not always followed. The purpose of this study is to describe how strategic problem solving (SPS) was used to implement a wound dressing protocol in a district hospital in Rwanda to…
