Ghana’s unpreparedness to meet the nutritional need of the steadily growing elderly population made this study delve into the food habits of the elderly. This study focused on the physiological status and food habits of the elderly in the Kwahu- South District of Ghana using the sequential explanatory mixed-method design. The study first exposes the reader to theoretical and empirical surveys pertinent to the topic from a global perspective focusing on Ghana. With the aid of a questionnaire and a focus group discussion guide, the researchers solicited data from 103 respondents, 97 for the quantitative and 6 for the qualitative phase, respectively, who were sampled using simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques. Data collected were analysed using frequency counts and percentages with version 20 of the SPSS for the quantitative aspect, whereas emerging themes were used for the qualitative data. Findings of this study established that difficulty in chewing and swallowing, immobility, gastrointestinal challenges and diminished sensory abilities such as reduced taste and poor eyesight were identified as the physiological characteristics of the elderly. Food taste, texture, and smell are the major organoleptic factors influencing the food choice of the elderly in the study area. Again, psycho-socioeconomic factors like emotions elicited on seeing given foods, perceptions one develops seeing one eating particular foods, cost, and availability of foods emerged as broad determinants of adults’ food habits in this study. The study also found out that foods such as game, fish, egg, plantain, potatoes, fruits, and vegetables ranked high on the list of likes of the elderly over the study period. This study, therefore, recommends that dieticians formulate a standardised dietary plan that considers the physiological characteristics of the elderly to enjoy their meals.","PeriodicalId":341135,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health and Pharmacology","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132786738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the health literacy and preeclampsia knowledge of pregnant mothers attending primary health care centers in Ikenne Local government, Ogun State. Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was conducted among pregnant women attending selected health facilities in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State, using an interview-administered semi-structured questionnaire, validated with Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients ranging from 0.76-0.90. The computed sample size for this study was 380 in which there was a 90% response rate. Data was analyzed with IBM Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 23. Results: The mean age (SE) of the women in the study was 28.21 years. Majority of the participants (75.4%) had a high literacy level. Majority of the participants (65.1%) had a low knowledge score (12.34 ± 3.27). There was a significant relationship between health literacy and knowledge of pre-eclampsia (r = 0.175; r2 = 0.350; p = 0.01) among the participants of this study, and health-seeking behaviors to pre-eclampsia has a statistically significant relationship with health literacy of the women (r = 0.182; r2 = 0.033; p = 0.0001). Conclusion: Findings of the study highlight important predictors of health-seeking behaviors among pregnant women. Health seeking behaviors are predicted by knowledge, health literacy and diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. As a result, it is critical for healthcare providers to ensure that women understand the information they are provided about their health.","PeriodicalId":341135,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health and Pharmacology","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132811969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recurrent strokes make up a significant number of stroke admissions to the emergency room. This condition is largely preventable by identifying and addressing the risk factors involved. Hence, this study examined the non-modifiable risk factors associated with medication adherence among stroke survivors in Lagos state, Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted using a multistage sampling technique, including 386 stroke survivors from 10 stroke rehabilitation facilities in Lagos state. A validated structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square and Binary logistic regression at a significance level of 5%. The participants' mean age was 52.42 ± 12.143. Results showed that participants aged 51-60years were more likely to adhere to their medication than other age groups. The result also showed no association existed between the age of stroke survivors and medication adherence (OR = 1.119, CI = 0.941-1.332, p = 0.549), ethnicity and medication adherence (OR = 1.176, CI 0.89-1.55, p = 0.211), and the gender (OR = 1.147, CI = 0.748-1.761, p = 0.665). However, there is a significant association between number of stroke and medication adherence (OR = 0.699, CI = 0.499-0.980, p = 0.038). This study's findings highlight important gaps in the factors that influence and are associated with medication adherence. Therefore, other non-modifiable factors asides from the ones assessed in this study should be researched.","PeriodicalId":341135,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health and Pharmacology","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125148985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Descriptive statistics were adopted for data analysis and interpretation, while hypothesis testing was done using simple linear regression. Consequently, the findings of the study revealed that press releases, factsheet and social media were publicity tools that significantly enhanced public awareness of Lassa Fever Virus in Cross River State. Therefore, we have recommended that: The Nigerian government (at Federal, State and Local levels), and public health organizations should intensify the use of press releases, factsheets and social media as effective publicity tools for providing factual and credible information about public health challenges to improve public awareness and mobilize members of the public in an effort to combat them in a way that sustainably preserves the public’s health.

The Fulani people are considered to have genetic origin comprising West African, North Africa, and Arabian descent while the Gbagyi people are of the Benue-Congo linguistic family indigenous to the Nigerian FCT. Whereas the Fulani are generally slender the Gbagyi people often have more sturdy appearances phenotypically. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we investigated two phenotypically distinct ethnic groups resident in Northcentral Nigeria to ascertain associations between their blood pressures and anthropometric indices. Results: Hypertension was detected in 24.7% of the combined study populations. The prevalence rates for were 23.2 versus 26.3% for the Fulani and Gbagyi ethnic groups with those differences being statistically insignificant (p=0.498) However there were significant differences in the SBP of 122.15 versus 126.1 mmHg and DBP of 77.21 versus 83.16mmHg between the Fulani and Gbagyi groups respectively. Similarly, there were observed significant differences in the anthropometric measurements in the weight, Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference and Waist to Hip Ratio between the two groups. Conclusion: This study lends support to the association between higher anthropometric indices and mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the general population.
