While existing studies in Cape Verde have explored the use of traditional medicine in treating and managing infectious and parasitic diseases, such as malaria, little is known about its use among adults living with hypertension. Given the high prevalence of hypertension in Cape Verde, it is imperative to understand whether those living with the condition use traditional medicine. As such, we assess the factors associated with traditional medicine use among adults living with hypertension in the archipelago nation of Cape Verde.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We analyzed the 2020 WHO STEPS survey for Cape Verde. With a sample size of 1,008 men and women, we performed descriptive analysis as well as bivariable and multivariable logistic regression in STATA 18. Variables were selected into the multivariable logistic regression through a stepwise approach.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The results indicate that 35.7% (95%CI: 31.5-40.2) of adults living with hypertension used traditional medicine. Women had more than twice the odds of using traditional medicine compared to men (AOR = 2.08, 95%CI: 1.48-2.92). Individuals aged 50 years and older had higher odds of using traditional medicine than those aged 18-29 years (AOR = 2.20; 95%CI: 1.01-4.81). Furthermore, those who did not consume alcohol had significantly higher odds of using traditional medicine compared to those who did (AOR = 1.48, 95%CI: 1.10-1.99).

It is shaped by demographic and behavioral factors including sex, age, alcohol consumption, and hypertensive crisis. These findings highlight the importance of routine clinical engagement and patient centered discussions regarding traditional medicine use among individuals with hypertension to support safe and coordinated disease management.</p>","PeriodicalId":15969,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health, Population, and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13312776/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147816185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An intersecting analysis of public health nutrition (PHN) and political pledges is limited globally, and in the context of Türkiye. METHODS: This study aimed to analyze the emphasis given by political parties and alliances to policies related to public health nutrition (PHN) in their publicly available documents and to identify whether their proposals reflect a broad understanding of nutrition-related public health issues. This study employed a qualitative research design utilizing the content analysis method. Publicly available pledges including election declarations, party programs, and formal website-based documents were analyzed in the study. The website-based documents were analyzed through qualitative content analysis via MAXQDA (Version 2022.8) software. This study consisted of two distinct analyses. The first analysis was conducted through themes of nutrition security, food supply, food safety, sustainable agriculture, and cultural sensitivity. In the second analysis, documents were analyzed in relation to specific four Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) namely Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), Goal 5 (Gender Equality), and Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), all of which are relevant to PHN. RESULTS: Overall, the documents were coded 1209 times in the first analysis on PHN, while were coded 941 times in the second analysis on SDGs. The main opposition Nation Alliance (NA) had the most coded documents followed by the ruling People’s Alliance (PA). After sustainable agriculture, the majority of policies were produced in the theme of food security, followed by food safety, food supply, and cultural sensitivity respectively. For SDGs, Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) was the most coded theme followed by Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), Goal 5 (Gender Equality), and Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) respectively. The category of sustainable nutrition has not been used in the documents of any party or alliance. Moreover, the dietitian profession legislation has been proposed by only two alliances. DISCUSSION: Parties/alliances remained inadequate in offering pledges in relation to PHN and related SDG goals.
