Effects of community health worker–led interventions on cardiometabolic outcomes in vulnerable populations
Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) disproportionately affect vulnerable populations worldwide. Community health worker (CHW)–led interventions may reduce risk and improve preventive care, but their effectiveness remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated their effectiveness on cardiometabolic outcomes in vulnerable groups. A comprehensive search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Library was …
Unmasking the contemporary burden of hypertension in Lagos, Nigeria
Hypertension remains the leading modifiable risk factor for global morbidity and mortality, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In Nigeria, prevalence and control rates remain poor, yet contemporary city-level data are limited. To determine the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension among adults screened during a community-based blood pressure screening campaign in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2023.…
Association between triglyceride-glucose index and estimated 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in Nigerian non-diabetic hypertensives
The Triglyceride Glucose (TyG) index is a new and sensitive marker of Insulin Resistance (IR). Its relationship with a 10-year cardiovascular risk (CVD) in hypertensives in Nigeria is currently unknown. This was a cross-sectional study involving 1,430 adult Nigerians with hypertension. The TyG index of subjects was divided into quartiles (Q1-Q4), and its association with 10-year CVD risk using Framingham 10-year Cardiovascular Risk Score was expl…
