  • Political prioritization of alcohol and sugar-sweetened beverage taxation in Uganda

    Open AccessEric Ssegujja, Henry Zakumumpa et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Uganda faces a rising burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) at a time when pressure to mobilize domestic health financing is increasing.

  • An exploration of stakeholder views and perceptions on taxing tobacco, alcohol and sugar-sweetened beverages in Ghana

    Open AccessArti Singh, Katherine E Smith et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    BACKGROUND: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for nearly 43% of Ghana's all-cause mortality. Unhealthy commodities (such as alcohol, sugar and tobacco) are an important factor in the growing NCD burden in the region of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite health taxes on tobacco, alcohol and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) gaining renewed attention, adoption and implementation in SSA remain limited. This study aims to unpack the contextual p…

  • Framing health taxes

    Open AccessKaung Suu Lwin, Adam D Koon et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Health taxes are effective policy instruments to save lives, raise government revenues and improve equity. Health taxes, however, directly conflict with commercial actors’ interests. Both pro-tax health advocates and anti-tax industry representatives seek to frame health tax policy. Yet, little is known about which frames resonate in which settings and how framing can most effectively advance or limit policies. To fill this gap, we conducted qual…

  • Modelling of salt intake reduction by incorporation of umami substances into Japanese foods

    Open AccessShiori Tanaka, Daisuke Yoneoka et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Our study provides essential information on the potential salt reduction with umami substances. The universal incorporation of umami substances into food items would enable the Japanese to achieve the national dietary goal.

  • Salt intake reduction using umami substance-incorporated food

    Open AccessShuhei Nomura, Shiori Tanaka et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2023

    Objective: Excessive salt intake raises blood pressure and increases the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCD), such as CVD, chronic kidney disease and stomach cancer. Reducing the Na content of food is an important public health measure to control the NCD. This study quantifies the amount of salt reduced by using umami substances, i.e. glutamate, inosinate and guanylate, for adults in the USA. Design: The secondary data analysis was performed …

  • Military coup during Covid-19 pandemic and health crisis in Myanmar

    Open AccessSu Myat Han, Kaung Suu Lwin et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Advertisers, marketers, and researchers all wrestle with finding the personal human presence in text-based online communication. Social features are present, if subtle. Users of online research must work to identify when and how unseen writers are or are not strongly committed to what they have just written, and must work even harder to keep from reading themselves and their own biases into the text being analyzed. Our discussion illustrates how …
