  • Obesity epidemic has emerged among Nigerians

    Open AccessSally N Akarolo-Anthony, Walter C Willett et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    About two-thirds of urban, professional, high socio-economic status Nigerian adults are either overweight or obese. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among this population of adult Nigerians, is as high as it is in the United Kingdom. Female gender and older age were independent predictors of overweight and obesity; while middle or high socio-economic status were independently associated with obesity

  • Prevalence and correlates of leisure-time physical activity among Nigerians

    Open AccessSally N Akarolo-Anthony, Clement A Adebamowo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    More than 80% of urban, professional Nigerian adults do not meet the WHO recommendations of physical activity. Urbanized Africans in this study population had low levels of leisure-time physical activity, independent of age, sex and body-mass index. This has major implications for the prevalence of non-communicable diseases in this population

  • Age-specific prevalence of human papilloma virus infection among Nigerian women
