The Risk Factors Associated with the Prevalence of Multimorbidity of Anaemia, Malaria, and Malnutrition among Children Aged 6–59 Months in Nigeria
In the last ten years, multimorbidity in children under the age of five years has become an emerging health issue in developing countries. The study of multimorbidity of anaemia, malaria, and malnutrition (MAMM) among children in Nigeria has not received significant attention. This study aims to investigate what risk factors are associated with the prevalence of multimorbidity among children aged 6 to 59 months in Nigeria. This study used two nat…
The Intersection of a Child’s Demographics and Household Socioeconomic Status in the Multimorbidity of Malaria, Anaemia, and Malnutrition among Children Aged 6–59 Months in Nigeria
Multimorbidity of malaria, anemia, and malnutrition (MAMM) is a condition in which an individual has two or more of these health conditions, and is becoming an emergent public health concern in sub-Saharan African countries. The independent associations of a child's demographic variables and household socioeconomic (HSE) disparities with a child's health outcomes have been established in the literature. However, the effects of the intersection of…
Physical Activity in Adults with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder
Adults with severe mental ill health may have specific attitudes toward physical activity. To inform intervention development, we conducted a survey to assess the physical activity patterns, preferences, barriers, and motivations of adults with severe mental ill health living in the community. Data were summarised using descriptive statistics, and logistic regressions were used to explore relationships between physical activity status and partici…
Individual and Contextual Factors Associated with Malaria among Children 6–59 Months in Nigeria
The study identified some individual and contextual predictors of malaria among children in Nigeria. These factors identified in this study are potential areas that need to be considered for policy designs and implementations toward control and total elimination of malaria-related morbidity and mortality among children in Nigeria

Consumer views on a new holistic screening tool for supportive and palliative‐care needs
BACKGROUND: Sheffield Profile for Assessment and Referral for Care (SPARC) was developed in response to concerns that palliative care may not be reaching all people who could benefit from it. Acceptability of the tool is an important step in developing its future use. AIMS: To elicit the views of a wide variety of members of consumer and self-help support groups concerned with health care on the relevance, acceptability and the overall perception…
"Booster" interventions to sustain increases in physical activity in middle-aged adults in deprived urban neighbourhoods
The main study will continue with the original recruitment target of 600 participants but to ensure feasibility, it is necessary to increase recruitment and improve the numbers of those followed-up who have evaluable data. Strategies will include increasing the number of initial invitations sent out and improving the training of research assistants and participants in the positioning of the accelerometer
An evaluation of patient-reported outcome measures in lower limb reconstruction surgery
A comparison of the discriminative and evaluative properties of the SF-36 and the SF-6D index
The health of postnatal women's partners up to 18 months after their baby was born
Background Women's depression may affect partners who may also become depressed thereby reducing their ability to support the mother and care for the new infant, or other children. Compared with depressive symptoms among women, little is known about depression in postnatal men or example how their health status changes over time. Depression may not be recognised because of men's reluctance to disclose personal feelings or their less frequent cont…
A randomised controlled trial and cost-effectiveness evaluation of "booster" interventions to sustain increases in physical activity in middle-aged adults in deprived urban neighbourhoods

Physical activity, quality of life, weight status and diet in adolescents
Health and use of health services
Being a Gypsy or Traveller is associated with even poorer health outcomes than those seen in two other ethnic minority groups resident in England, Pakistani Muslim and African Caribbean, and they in turn have poorer health outcomes than the White residents. More remains to be done to address the health and health service needs of such black and minority ethnic groups
Physical activity among adolescents and barriers to delivering physical education in Cornwall and Lancashire, UK
Despite many positive perceptions of the delivery of PE in schools, it is evident that barriers still exist within that delivery which discourages physical activity. More research is needed to particularly address the complex issues of elitism and the ethos of PA in schools
A pilot survey of socio-economic differences in child-feeding behaviours among parents of primary-school children
Objective Parents’ child-feeding behaviours have been implicated in children’s food choices and weight, but little is known about the social class distribution of parent’s child-feeding behaviours in the UK. The present study compares parents’ self-reported child-feeding behaviours in two socio-economically contrasting areas. Design A cross-sectional survey using the Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire. Mean scores were calculated for five child…
Health status of Gypsies and Travellers in England
Objective: To provide the first valid and reliable estimate of the health status of Gypsies and Travellers in England by using standardised instruments to compare their health with that of a UK resident non-Traveller sample, drawn from different socioeconomic and ethnic groups, matched for age and sex. Design: Epidemiological survey, by structured interview, of quota sample and concurrent age–sex-matched comparators. Setting: The homes or alterna…
