  • Navigating the nutritional paradox

    Open AccessMukhtar Ijaiya, Seun Anjorin et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In 2015, the United Nations member states endorsed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to chart a path towards a better future for all. Childhood malnutrition, particularly wasting, remains a critical global health challenge, disproportionately affecting children under five in low- and middle-income countries. This study evaluates the impact of achieving selected Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets on reducing childhood malnutritio…

  • A multilevel analysis of the determinants of HIV testing among men in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessMukhtar Ijaiya, Adedotun Anibi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Sub-Saharan Africa, the epicenter of the HIV epidemic, has seen significant reductions in new infections over the last decade. Although most new infections have been reported among women, particularly adolescent girls, men are still disadvantaged in accessing HIV testing, care, and treatment services. Globally, men have relatively poorer HIV testing, care, and treatment indices when compared with women. Gender norms and the associated concept of …

  • Assessing Africa’s child survival gains and prospects for attaining SDG target on child mortality

    Open AccessSunday A Adedini, Seun Anjorin et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    This study assessed Africa’s child survival gains and prospects for attaining Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) target 3.2. We analysed multiple country-level secondary datasets of 54 African countries and presented spatial analysis. Results showed that only 8 out of the 54 African countries have achieved substantial reductions in under-5 mortality with an under-five mortality rate (U5MR) of 25 deaths per 1,000 live births or less. Many countri…

  • Neighbourhood effect and inequality in access to essential health services among mother–child paired samples

    Open AccessSeun Anjorin, Elvis Anyaehiechukwu Okolie et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2024

    The study showed evidence of inequality in access to EHS due to neighbourhood effects in 26 LMICs. This evidence suggests that increased focus on the urban poor might be a important for increasing access to EHS and achieving the universal health coverage (UHC) goals

  • Income and education disparities in childhood malnutrition

    Open AccessMukhtar Ijaiya, Mukhtar A Ijaiya et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    The prevalence of childhood malnutrition varies among low-income, high-income, and no maternal education-maternal education groups. This study highlights the need for a country-specific approach to addressing childhood malnutrition, with policies and interventions tailored to each country's specific context

  • HIV research output in African Countries between 1986–2020

    Open AccessMukhtar Ijaiya, Adebanjo Olowu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    HIV literature has grown exponentially since it was named the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Bibliometric analysis is a practical approach for quantitatively and qualitatively assessing scientific research. This work aims to describe HIV research output in Africa by country from 1986 until 2020. We conducted a search of the PubMed database in June 2021 for a 35-year period spanning 1986 to 2020. We comparatively weig…

  • Household Air Pollution and High Blood Pressure

    Open AccessMustapha S Abba, Chidozie Nduka et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Background: Hypertension is a significant public health problem in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to examine the association between household air pollution (HAP) and blood pressure using data from the 2016 Albania Demographic Health and Survey (DHS). Methods: We computed the odds ratio (OR) for the prevalence of hypertension between respondents exposed to clean fuels (e.g., electricity, liquid petroleum gas, natural g…

  • Disparities in pregnancy-related deaths

    Open AccessSanni Yaya, Seun Anjorin et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Maternal mortality remains a public health problem despite several global efforts. Globally, about 830 women die of pregnancy-related death per day, with more than two-third of these cases occurring in Africa. We examined the spatial distribution of maternal mortality in Africa and explored the influence of SDoH on the spatial distribution. METHODS: We used country-level secondary data of 54 African countries collected between 2006 an…

  • Anaemia among under‐five children

    Open AccessSeun Anjorin, Sanni YayaARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2021

    Prevalence of child marriage has remained high in many parts of Africa despite its multisectoral adverse effect. As it is now being suggested to have intergeneration impact, we examined if marriage at or after 18th birthday is associated with the risk of anaemia among under-five children. Cross-sectional data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) conducted between 2010 and 2018 in 15 African countries as of August 2020 were used. Maternal age…

  • Influence of contextual socioeconomic position on hypertension risk in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessMustapha S Abba, Chidozie Nduka et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    This study revealed that individual compositional and contextual measures of socioeconomic status were independently associated with the risk of developing hypertension. Therefore, prevention strategies should be implemented at the individual level and the socioeconomic and contextual levels to reduce the burden of hypertension

  • Undernutrition, polygynous context and family structure

    Open AccessSeun Anjorin, Olalekan Abdulrahman Uthman et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Contextual factors, especially where people live, has been linked to various health outcomes, therefore, there is an increasing focus on its implication for policies and implementation of health interventions. Polygyny is a widespread practice in sub-Saharan Africa that also reflects socioeconomic and sociocultural features. This study investigated the association between polygynous context and risk of undernutrition. METHODS: Recent …

  • Intimate partner violence, contextual factors and under-5 mortality

    Open AccessSanni Yaya, Seun Anjorin et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Under-5 mortality remains a public health concern in low-income and middle-income countries. Africa contributes about one-fifth of the burden of global under-5 mortality; intimate partner violence (IPV) and polygyny, which are highly prevalent on the continent, have been linked to under-5 mortality at the individual level. This study examined the relationship between IPV and polygyny as contextual factors and the experience of under-5…
