  • Regional differences in the daily consumption of smoked and smokeless tobacco among adults (25-64 years) in Mozambique

    Open AccessJosé Ramón Enjo-Barreiro, Fernando Fontes et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2024Referências: 18

    Within-country differences in the prevalence of tobacco consumption may be expected in Mozambique, as determinants of tobacco use vary considerably countrywide. We compared the daily use of smoked and smokeless tobacco in 2005 and 2014/2015 across Mozambican regions. Two surveys were conducted in Mozambique, in 2005 and 2014/2015, with representative samples of the adult population, following the World Health Organization's STEPwise Approach to N…

Design: Cross-sectional study conducted in 2014/2015, following the WHO Stepwise Approach to Chronic Disease Risk Factor Surveillance (STEPS). …

    Open AccessPatrícia Padrão, Mílton Severo et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2014

    Hypertension, overweight/obesity, smoking and excessive alcohol intake defined the main clusters of cardiovascular risk factors. This should be considered when planning prevention and control strategies for cardiovascular diseases in Mozambique

  • Low prevalence of hypertension with pharmacological treatments and associated factors

    Open AccessHelena Gama, Albertino Damasceno et al.ARTICLERevista de Saúde Pública2013Referências: 22

    OBJECTIVE: To assess the determinants of the lack of pharmacological treatment for hypertension. METHODS: In 2005, 3,323 Mozambicans aged 25-64 years old were evaluated. Blood pressure, weight, height and smoking status were assessed following the Stepwise Approach to Chronic Disease Risk Factor Surveillance. Hypertensives (systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg and/or antihypertensive drug therapy) were eval…

  • Non-communicable diseases in Mozambique

    Open AccessCarla Silva-Matos, Carla Silva‐Matos et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2012

    Mozambique is located on the East Coast of Africa bordering South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania and is one of the poorest countries in the world. Currently NCDs account for 28% of deaths in Mozambique. Risk factors such as tobacco and alcohol use and poor diet are present in both urban and rural settings. Diseases such as hypertension and diabetes affect large proportions of the population, but people are often unaware of their co…

  • Alcohol consumption in Mozambique

    Open AccessJorge Pires, Patrícia Padrão et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2012

    Alcohol consumption was frequent in Mozambique, especially consumption of traditional beverages. Proxy respondents provided valid information on alcohol intake, which may be used to improve the efficiency of household surveys in this setting

    Open AccessNuno Lunet, Carla Araújo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Cultural background, affordability, and availability of different types of tobacco in urban Mozambique need to be considered when developing strategies to control the tobacco epidemic

  • Association between tobacco consumption and alcohol, vegetable and fruit intake across urban and rural areas in Mozambique

    Patrícia Padrão, Carla Silva-Matos et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011Citada por: 3Referências: 41

    BACKGROUND: Smoking, alcohol consumption and unhealthy diet are known to cluster, but evidence from developing countries at the early phases of the tobacco epidemics and with markedly different cultures, lifestyles and forms of tobacco use is scarce. The objective of this study was to quantify the association between tobacco consumption (manufactured cigarettes, hand-rolled cigarettes and smokeless tobacco) and alcohol, fruit and vegetable intake…
