Advancing AI and data science for health in Africa: Education, collaboration, and applications for global health priorities
Background: Africa faces a shortage of health data scientists. Despite bearing 25% of the global disease burden, it has only 3% of the world's healthcare workforce and even less health data science expertise. As artificial intelligence and data science transform global healthcare, from disease surveillance to precision medicine, this capacity gap poses a significant threat to Africa's ability to address its health challenges and harness its growi…

Background Mpox is a re-emerging zoonotic disease and an ongoing global health concern. In Malaysia, sporadic cases have been reported from July 2023 onward, yet mpox knowledge outside healthcare populations remains insufficiently described. This study assessed mpox knowledge and attitudes, and examined associated factors among purposively sampled tertiary-educated adults aged 18–44 years residing in Selangor, Malaysia, who had previously heard o…
Assessing heat exposure and its effects on farmer health, harvest yields, and nutrition: A study protocol for Burkina Faso and Kenya
Rising temperatures in Africa present an increasing threat to agricultural productivity and public health, particularly among subsistence farming communities reliant on rain-fed agriculture. Heat exposure can impair farmers' work capacity, disrupt harvests, and heighten health risks, especially for young children vulnerable to undernutrition. The Heat to Harvest (H2H) study investigates how environmental heat exposure influences farmers' physiolo…
Acceptability of cool roofs: A qualitative study in Nouna, Burkina Faso
Providing communities with technical information regarding how the cool roof functions and can be maintained may support uptake via acceptability. Desirability of the roof may be achieved via a combination of highlighting the indoor cooling of the roof as reported by users, sharing of results with the community so that they have an insight into the effects of the roof, and feedback regarding the products useability and durability

BACKGROUND: Accurate assessments of current and future fertility-including overall trends and changing population age structures across countries and regions-are essential to help plan for the profound social, economic, environmental, and geopolitical challenges that these changes will bring. Estimates and projections of fertility are necessary to inform policies involving resource and health-care needs, labour supply, education, gender equality,…
Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease…
BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…
Global incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys), and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territor…
BACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to im…
The state of health in the European Union (EU-27) in 2019: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease study 2019
There was a clear trend towards improvement in the overall health status of the EU but with differences between countries. EU health policymakers need to address the burden of diseases, paying specific attention to causes such as mental disorders. There are many opportunities for mutual learning among otherwise similar countries with different patterns of disease
The effects of climate change-induced flooding on harvest failure in Burkina Faso: Case study
Background: Climate change leads to more frequent and severe extreme weather events including floods, heatwaves, heavy rainfalls, and droughts. In contrast to the majority of research on weather extremes in sub-Saharan Africa, which focus primarily on how a lack of rainfall causes droughts, this paper aims to elucidate the effect of flooding on harvest failure in rural Burkina Faso. Methods: = 180) on whether any of their fields had been inundate…
Widening the lens of population-based health research to climate change impacts and adaptation: The climate change and health evaluation and response system (CHEERS)
Background: Climate change significantly impacts health in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), exacerbating vulnerabilities. Comprehensive data for evidence-based research and decision-making is crucial but scarce. Health and Demographic Surveillance Sites (HDSSs) in Africa and Asia provide a robust infrastructure with longitudinal population cohort data, yet they lack climate-health specific data. Acquiring this information is essential for…
Developing Climate Change and Health Impact Monitoring with eHealth at the South East Asia Community Observatory and Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, Malaysia (CHIMES)
Background: Malaysia is projected to experience an increase in heat, rainfall, rainfall variability, dry spells, thunderstorms, and high winds due to climate change. This may lead to a rise in heat-related mortality, reduced nutritional security, and potential migration due to uninhabitable land. Currently, there is limited data regarding the health implications of climate change on the Malaysian populace, which hinders informed decision-making a…
