Prevalence and determinants of insulin resistance among middle-aged adults in rural northern Ghana
Lifestyle, adiposity, CIMT right and lipid markers contribute to driving IR levels and that these factors are gender-specific in this northern rural Ghanaian population
Genomic and environmental risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases in Africa
There is an alarming tide of cardiovascular and metabolic disease (CMD) sweeping across Africa. This may be a result of an increasingly urbanized lifestyle characterized by the growing consumption of processed and calorie-dense food, combined with physical inactivity and more sedentary behaviour. While the link between lifestyle and public health has been extensively studied in Caucasian and African American populations, few studies have been con…
Socio-demographic and behavioural determinants of body mass index among an adult population in rural Northern Ghana
BACKGROUND: Obesity and associated cardiometabolic diseases are increasing in urban sub-Saharan Africa due to a complex epidemiological and nutritional transition. Related data on rural communities is scarce. OBJECTIVES: The study characterized the socio-demographic and behavioural factors influencing body mass index (BMI) among adults in rural Northern Ghana Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study involving adults aged 40-60 years resi…
Regional and sex-specific variation in BMI distribution in four sub-Saharan African countries
BACKGROUND: African populations are characterised by diversity at many levels including: demographic history, genetic ancestry, language, wealth, socio-political landscape, culture and behaviour. Several of these have a profound impact on body fat mass. Obesity, a key risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, in the wake of the epidemiological and health transitions across the continent, requires detailed analysis together with other…
