This study is aimed at understanding (1) the experiences of gender identity and roles among MSM in Ghana and (2) how these experiences of gender shape daily urban life in Ghanaian social interactions, including interpersonal interactions in healthcare settings. We conducted a qualitative description using secondary data generated from focus groups and in-depth interviews with adult MSM and health care workers in Accra and Kumasi, Ghana. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. We identified five factors that describe the experiences of gender roles, identities, and relations and identified one theme regarding the influence of gender on MSM daily life. First, understandings of gender roles were influenced by local binary gendered expectations regarding (1) appearance and presentation, (2) physical characteristics and personality traits, and (3) household and community responsibilities. The experience of gender identity was informed by perceptions of its (4) relationship to or (5) independence from physical anatomy. In Ghana, men's gender nonconformity and its linkages to discrimination are complex, context dependent, and evolving.

Phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) is a validated biological age measure incorporating chronological age and biomarkers from blood samples commonly used in clinical practice that can better reflect aging-related morbidity and mortality risk. The heterogeneity of age-related decline is not random, as environmental exposures can promote or impede healthy aging. Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) is a composite index accounting for different facets of the social, economic, and demographic environment grouped into four themes: socioeconomic status, household composition and disability, minority status and language, and housing and transportation. We aim to assess the concurrent and combined associations of the four SVI themes on PhenoAgeAccel and the differential effects on disadvantaged groups. We use electronic health records data from 31,913 patients from the Mount Sinai Health System (116,952 person-years) and calculate PhenoAge for years with available laboratory results (2011-2022). PhenoAge is calculated as a weighted linear combination of lab results, and PhenoAgeAccel is the differential between PhenoAge and chronological age. A decile increase in the mixture of SVI dimensions was associated with an increase of 0.23 years (95% CI 0.21, 0.25) in PhenoAgeAccel. The socioeconomic status dimension was the main driver of the association, accounting for 61% of the weight. Interaction models revealed a more substantial detrimental association for women and racial and ethnic minorities with differences in leading SVI themes.

Adjusting for incident characteristics, chemical agents are predicted to cause hospitalization or death in 4% of cases, compared to 13% for conducted energy devices, 16% for impact weapons, and 37% for police canines.

Data aggregated at these levels may obscure critical disparities among populations experiencing high rates of drug-related mortality (DRM), especially in densely populated urban areas. Our research was centered on Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), OH, which ranks 15th in the USA for drug-related mortality. This study built on recent efforts that adopted a finer geographical lens by examining DRM rates at the census tract level. Our investigation used Cuyahoga County census tracts with high and low DRM rates and compared them with Cuyahoga County census tracts with high and low levels of opportunity as developed by a publicly available, statewide opportunity index. Analyzing DRM data from 2014 to 2022, we found that the odds of an individual experiencing DRM in low-opportunity areas were quadruple the odds for someone in high-opportunity zones. Our findings highlight the critical need for more granular geographic analysis in urban areas, where heterogenous socioenvironmental conditions appear to correlate with significant heterogeneity in the ways in which residents experience the risk of dying from a drug overdose. By focusing on smaller areas, this approach provides a clearer understanding of the DRM landscape that could facilitate the prioritization of more targeted, culturally centered, public health interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":49964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Health-Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"445-458"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12031699/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142774213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
