Article Synopsis
- PFAS are man-made chemicals found in many industries that pose environmental and public health risks, but monitoring them in Africa is hindered by a lack of mass spectrometry (MS) instruments.
- The review highlights that few African countries have adequate access to MS, leading to significant underreporting of PFAS data and related health issues.
- To improve monitoring efforts, the study calls for financial support for MS instruments, the establishment of regional centers of excellence, and investment in training programs for effective PFAS management.
Dementia prevention in Africa is critically underexplored, despite the continent's high prevalence of modifiable risk factors. With a predominantly young and middle-aged population, Africa presents a prime opportunity to implement evidence-based strategies that could significantly reduce future dementia cases and mitigate its economic impact. The multinational Africa-FINGERS program offers an innovative solution, pioneering culturally sensitive, multidomain interventions tailored to the unique challenges of the region.
