  • Innovating to increase access to diabetes care in Kenya

    Open AccessGary Shannon, Hassan Haghparast-Bidgoli et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    In the context of the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases in LMICs, cross-sector approaches to improving access to care are increasingly needed. Public-private partnerships such as the BoP are necessary but not sufficient to ensure access to health care for people with diabetes at the base of the economic pyramid in Kenya

  • Prevalence and factors associated with pre-diabetes and diabetes mellitus in Kenya

    Open AccessShukri F Mohamed, Martin Mwangi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    The overall diabetes prevalence in Kenya is consistent with what has been reported in other sub-Saharan African countries. Of concern is the higher prevalence of pre-diabetes and undiagnosed diabetes that can progress to complications in the absence of interventions and the low diabetes awareness and control. This is the first nationally representative study to identify important groups at risk of pre-diabetes and diabetes that can be targeted fo…

  • Predictors of cervical cancer screening among Kenyan women

    Open AccessAnne Ng’ang’a, Mary Nyangasi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Uptake of cervical cancer screening is low despite high awareness. Strategies to improve cervical cancer screening in Kenya should be implemented with messages targeting persons with both risky and non-risky lifestyles especially younger women with no formal education living in rural areas

  • Prevalence and predictors of physical inactivity levels among Kenyan adults (18–69 years)

    Open AccessMuthoni Gichu, Gershim Asiki et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    A modest prevalence of physical inactivity slightly higher than in neighbouring countries was found in this study. Gender, age, education level and wealth index are evident areas that predict physical inactivity which can be focused on to develop programs that would work towards reducing physical inactivity among adults in Kenya

  • Effectiveness of peer support to increase uptake of retinal examination for diabetic retinopathy

    Open AccessNyawira Mwangi, Mark Ng’ang’a et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

  • Individual and household level factors associated with presence of multiple non-communicable disease risk factors in Kenyan adults

    Open AccessFrederick Murunga Wekesah, Loise Nyanjau et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Majority of Kenyan adults possess more than four NCD risk factors; a clear indication of an emerging epidemic of NCDs in this population. Effective and multi-sectoral interventions targeting multiple risk factors in individuals are required to mitigate especially the behavioural and modifiable NCD risk factors in Kenya

  • Dietary risk factors for non-communicable diseases in Kenya

    Open AccessValerian Mwenda, Martin Mwangi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Dietary risk communication should be targeted to males and people under 45 years of age, especially students. Further research is necessary to understand the knowledge: practice mismatch on unhealthy diets

  • Prevalence and predictors of injuries in Kenya

    Open AccessGladwell Gathecha, Gladwell Koku Gathecha et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Our study found that male, heavy episodic drinkers, current smokers and students were associated with various injury types. Our study findings highlight the need to scale up interventions for injury prevention for specific injury mechanisms and target groups. There is need for sustained road safety mass media campaigns and strengthened enforcement on helmet wearing, seatbelt use and drink driving

  • Research for Actionable Policies

    Open AccessSujha Subramanian, Joseph Kibachio et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2017

    ow-to middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected by the rise in prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). According to the World Health Organization, four groups of diseases-cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease and diabetes -comprise 82% of NCD deaths worldwide and three-quarters of the deaths related to NCD occur in LMIC In Sub-Saharan Africa, the World Bank estimates that nearly 46% of all deaths will b…
