Health and demographic surveillance sites in Ethiopia
Health and demographic surveillance sites (HDSS) provide sampling frames to conduct longitudinal studies. This review aims to provide a comprehensive characterization of HDSS in Ethiopia and assess its potential as a robust infrastructure for longitudinal studies on aging-related and other health outcomes. We searched databases including PubMed for peer-reviewed articles, HDSS reports, strategic papers, and other pertinent literature, and extract…
Association between neighborhood environment and self-reported and objectively measured physical activity in Hispanic families
Our findings may underscore the importance of neighborhood aesthetics and traffic safety for PA engagement in children. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm our observations, and to untangle potential mechanisms linking neighborhood environment and PA in understudied populations such as Hispanics
Sex-difference in the association between social drinking, structural brain aging and cognitive function in older individuals free of cognitive impairment
Among older adults who report alcohol drinking, there is a positive association between higher average daily alcohol consumption and accelerated brain aging despite the fact that drinkers had better cognitive performance compared to zero drinkers. In women only, accelerated brain aging is associated with worse performance in language cognitive domain. Older adult women seem to be vulnerable to the negative effects of alcohol on brain structure an…
Longitudinal association between fitness and metabolic syndrome
Fitness may be a predictor of longitudinal metabolic health, and potentially also mediates previously reported longitudinal associations between physical activity and metabolic health. More research is needed to confirm these observations, and to also explore underlying mechanisms
A tool to assess fitness among adults in public health studies – Predictive validity of the FFB-Mot questionnaire
Our results suggest that the FFB-Mot to assess fitness in adults has predictive validity for health-related outcomes as indicated by significant correlations, albeit some effect sizes are small. The FFB-Mot may be used as one-time assessment of self-reported fitness, or for repeated testing to assess change of self-reported fitness over time and in different settings (e.g., public health research)
Association between physical activity and longitudinal change in body mass index in middle-aged and older adults
PA, particularly at moderate-vigorous intensity, is associated with slower decline in longitudinal BMI trajectories. This implies that engaging in PA may be beneficial for healthy body weight regulation in middle and late adulthood
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in a Low-Income Country in Sub-Saharan Africa
A worsening trend of critical shortages in senior health care workers across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in sub-Saharan Africa has been documented for decades. This is especially the case in Ethiopia that has severe shortage of mental health professionals. Consistent with the WHO recommended approach of task sharing for mental health care in LMICs, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is an empirically validated psychologic…
