- A study was conducted to determine the prevalence and correlates of insomnia among older adults, using established international diagnostic criteria.
- This research analyzed data from 16 studies involving over 18,000 participants, revealing a pooled insomnia prevalence rate of 19.6%, influenced by factors such as sample size, age, and study quality.
- Key findings indicated that insomnia is notably associated with being female, and the presence of mental health issues like depression and anxiety, as well as physical health problems, particularly cardiovascular and respiratory conditions.
Few data to date exist on pediatric hypertension (PH) prevalence and risk factors in semi-urban areas in Cameroon, and they are believed to be the same as urban areas. These data are needed to design targeted preventive strategies and contribute to reducing the burden of PH in Cameroon and countries with equivalent standards of care. The authors conducted a cross-sectional study, from November, 2017 to June, 2018, in primary and secondary schools, from semi-urban (Bamboutos, West Region) and urban (Mfoundi, Center Region) settings in Cameroon, including children and adolescent aged between 3 and 19 years, recruited on a stratified probability sampling.
