Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events worldwide, and little is known about its association with sleep quality (SQ) among Africans. We evaluated the association of SQ with hypertension among adults in Ibadan, Nigeria. In Ibadan and its suburbs, we identified 3635 participants in the door-to-door Community-based Investigation of the Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases (COMBAT-CVDs) study.

However, the scale is yet to be validated among indigenous African populations such as in Nigeria. This study validated the factor structure and evaluated the reliability of a previously developed SQS among community-based adults in Ibadan, Nigeria.

- This study developed a Sustainable Diet Index (SDI) to assess the sustainability of diets among adults in Ghana and Ghanaian migrants in Europe, focusing on factors like health, climate impact, cultural values, and cost.
- Using data from 3,169 participants aged 25-70, the SDI ranged from 0 to 16 and utilized various dietary metrics, showing an overall mean SDI of 8.0.
- Results indicated that higher SDI scores were linked to older age, female gender, non-smoking, and alcohol abstinence, with the highest SDI found in London (9.1), suggesting that living in Europe generally leads to more sustainable dietary practices compared to rural Ghana.
Article Synopsis
- * The research involved 1,793 individuals, including adenoma patients and healthy controls from a health check-up at a Korean hospital, analyzing their fish and meat consumption through dietary questionnaires.
- * Results indicated that while there wasn't a clear link between general meat consumption and adenoma prevalence, higher fish intake correlated with a lower risk of high-risk colorectal adenomas, particularly more significantly in men.
