Codesign with citizens to prevent cardiometabolic diseases in disadvantaged neighbourhoods: an interview study on needs and priorities among stakeholders in Sweden.

Objectives: Cardiometabolic diseases are a global health concern, affecting socioeconomically disadvantaged groups more adversely. Effective public health interventions targeting preventable risk factors like physical inactivity and unhealthy diets are needed. Codesign with citizens presents a promising opportunity for developing context-relevant and population-relevant interventions, with high chances of adoption by the target population.

'I've just heard that there are people who feel like they need to exercise': a photo-elicitation study of values and priorities influencing physical activity in a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhood in Uppsala, Sweden.

Objective: People living in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Sweden engage less in physical activity compared with the general population, contributing to an elevated risk of cardiometabolic diseases. To inform targeted and effective public health interventions, understanding residents' lived experiences is essential. This study sought to understand the values and priorities associated with physical activity by people living in a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhood in Region Uppsala, Sweden, informing a public health intervention to prevent cardiometabolic diseases and promote healthy and active living.

Prevalence and social determinants of anxiety and depression among adults in Ghana: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.

Introduction: Anxiety and depression pose a significant global health challenge, especially affecting adults in low-income and middle-income countries. In many low-income and middle-income countries, including those in sub-Saharan Africa, social determinants such as access to affordable health services, conflict, food insecurity, and poverty may be associated with the prevalence of anxiety and depression, further contributing to health disparities. To mitigate the burden of anxiety and depression in sub-Saharan Africa, it is essential to develop country-level tailored mental health policies and strategies.
