Whole-body vibration exposure and chronic low back pain among heavy machine operators and long-haul truck drivers in Tanzania
Background: The Workers Compensation Fund (WCF) in Tanzania has noted an increased rate of injury claims for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs), particularly chronic low back pain among truck drivers and heavy machine operators. These trends indicate a likelihood of occupational exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV), nevertheless local and contextual evidence is needed to guide policy and decision-making. This study aimed to quantit…
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders and contributing factors among social security workers in Dar es Salaam

Prevalence and determinants of female genital mutilation
The overall FGM prevalence of 53.5% indicates a significant problem. Urgent interventions are needed and should consider significant factors including older age, lower education level, rural residency, women unemployment and poverty
Malaria in under-five children
The study highlights a notable malaria prevalence among under-five (UN5) children in high-risk SSA countries, influenced significantly by factors such as maternal education, Fansidar uptake during pregnancy, socioeconomic status, and residency. These findings underscore the importance of targeted malaria prevention strategies that address these key determinants to effectively reduce the malaria burden in this vulnerable population
