  • Developing implementation strategies for the framework and strategy for disability and rehabilitation in South Africa

    Open AccessNaeema A R Reis, Sonti Pilusa et al.ARTICLEAfrican Journal of Disability2026

    Background: The expiry of South Africa’s Framework and Strategy for Disability and Rehabilitation (FSDR) created an opportunity to critically assess its effectiveness, strengths and limitations to inform the development of a new disability and rehabilitation policy. Objectives: As the primary gap in the FSDR related to weak implementation rather than policy intent, this study aimed to develop evidence-informed implementation strategies. Findings …

  • Factors associated with the uptake of Intermittent Preventive Treatment (IPTp-SP) for malaria in pregnancy

    Open AccessGodwin Okeke Kalu, John M Francis et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Pregnancy-associated malaria is preventable and curable with intermittent preventive treatment with Sulfodoxine-Pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP). However, despite the effectiveness of IPTp-SP against malaria in pregnancy, the uptake among pregnant women in Nigeria remains very low. Thus, this study aimed to establish the factors associated with the uptake of at least one dose and optimal doses of IPTp-SP among pregnant women aged 15 to 49 years living in …

  • Demographic, socio-economic and behavioural correlates of BMI in middle-aged black men and women from urban Johannesburg, South Africa

    Open AccessRafael Lapesa Melgar, Lisa K Micklesfield et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2018

    The sex difference in BMI and the prevalence of overweight and obesity between black South African men and women from Soweto, as well as the sex-specific associations with various demographic, socio-economic and behavioural factors, highlight the need for more tailored interventions to slow down the obesity epidemic

  • Different adiposity indices and their association with blood pressure and hypertension in middle-aged urban black South African men and women

    Open AccessPedro T Pisa, Lisa K Micklesfield et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    All body composition parameters were associated with hypertension and FM/FFSTM ratio showed the strongest relationship. It was reassuring that WC remains a useful measure of central adiposity that can be used as a risk indicator for hypertension if more sophisticated measures are not available. Furthermore, our data in part, implies that reducing abdominal adiposity in aging adults could contribute to reducing the risk of elevated blood pressure …

  • Childhood adiposity trajectories are associated with late adolescent blood pressure

    Open AccessRichard J Munthali, Juliana Kagura et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    We identified three (3) and four (4) distinct BMI trajectories in boys and girls, respectively. The overall prevalence of elevated blood pressure (BP) was 34.9 % (39.4 % in boys and 30.38 % in girls). Boys and girls in the early onset obesity or overweight BMI trajectories were more likely to have higher BP values in late adolescence. Compared to those in the normal weight BMI trajectory, girls in early onset obesity trajectories had an increased…
