Increasing trends in adult obesity in Greenland
The prevalence of obesity has increased among Inuit populations across the Arctic, although some studies indicate stabilisation. The Greenlandic Inuit may exhibit distinct obesity patterns due to unique genetic factors and rapid societal transitions. We investigated temporal trends in obesity prevalence among adults in Greenland from 1999 to 2018 by age, sex and place of residence. We analysed data from serial cross-sectional Greenland Population…
Prevalence of overweight and obesity among children in Greenland
To investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children aged 3 to 10 years in Greenland. Further, to describe the prevalence of overweight and obesity according to sex, place of residence and age, including change over time. In a cross-sectional study, we included 4715 children aged 3-10 years, using data from the national electronic medical records. BMI was calculated and children were categorised into age and sex-specific weight …
Evaluation of care and clinical outcomes after the implementation of an electronic medical record system for type 1 diabetes management in Rwanda
Background Electronic medical record (EMR) systems are increasingly used to improve disease management. However, the impact on data quality, quality of care and clinical outcomes for type 1 diabetes (T1D) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has not yet been explored.Objective The aim was to evaluate the effect of implementing an EMR system on the quality of care and clinical outcomes for T1D individuals in Rwanda.Methods The Rwanda Diabetes Association c…
Disregarding the restrictive vial-opening policy for BCG vaccine in Guinea-Bissau
OBJECTIVE: BCG vaccination is frequently delayed in low-income countries. Restrictive vial-opening policies, where a vial of BCG vaccine is not opened for few children, are a major reason for delay. During delays, children are unprotected against tuberculosis (TB) and deprived of non-specific effects of BCG. We assessed the potential effect and cost-effectiveness of disregarding the restrictive vial-opening policy, on TB and all-cause mortality, …
The mortality effects of disregarding the strategy to save doses of measles vaccine
INTRODUCTION: Measles vaccine (MV) may improve health beyond measles protection. To avoid wastage from multi-dose vials, children in Guinea-Bissau are only measles vaccinated when aged 9-11 months and when six or more children are present. We assessed health impacts of providing MV to all measles-unvaccinated children 9-35 months. METHODS: We cluster-randomised 182 village clusters under demographic surveillance in rural Guinea-Bissau to an 'MV-f…
Diabetes in urban Guinea-Bissau; patient characteristics, mortality and prevalence of undiagnosed dysglycemia
BACKGROUND: The burden of diabetes mellitus in Sub-Saharan Africa is growing rapidly, and yet the prevalence and patient characteristics are still largely unknown. OBJECTIVES: We analyzed clinical and demographic characteristics of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients attending a diabetes clinic in Guinea-Bissau from February 2008 to April 2014, and estimated the prevalence and risk factors of unknown-impaired fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and diabetes…
Improving Dietary Behavior Among Ethnic Minority Women in Denmark
The Danish Heart Foundation and the non-governmental organization Neighborhood Mothers have co-developed a culturally adapted intervention seeking to promote healthy dietary behaviour among ethnic minority women. This feasibility study explores the potential of the intervention to reach ethnic minority women using health promotion initiatives. Participants attended instructor courses or cooking events, where culturally adapted, healthy recipes we…
Cost-effectiveness of providing measles vaccination to all children in Guinea-Bissau
BACKGROUND: Measles vaccination is associated with major reductions in child mortality and morbidity. In Guinea-Bissau, to limit vaccine wastage, children are only measles-vaccinated if at least six children aged 9-11 months are present at a vaccination session. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness of providing measles vaccine (MV) to all children regardless of age and number of children present. METHODS: We estimated MV cove…
BCG coverage and barriers to BCG vaccination in Guinea-Bissau
BCG coverage during the first months of life is low in Guinea-Bissau. Providing BCG at monthly vaccination visits removes the risk factors associated with delayed BCG vaccination
