Abstract Background: Tobacco is a leading preventable cause of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Studies characterizing the prevalence of tobacco use in low-income countries are lacking. This study describes the prevalence of tobacco use in Burkina Faso and its associated factors. Methods: Data from the 2013 Burkina Faso World Health Organization (WHO) Stepwise approach to Surveillance (STEPS) were analyzed. The prevalence of any tobacco product use, cigarette smoking, and other tobacco use was calculated. Logistic regression analyses identified factors associated with tobacco use. Overall, 4,691 people were included in this analysis. Results: The prevalence of any tobacco use was 19.8% (95% CI: 18.4–21.2). Tobacco use was higher for men (29.2% [27.0–31.5]) than women (11.8% [10.3–13.4]). The prevalence of smoked tobacco was 11.3% (10.3–12.4), with a significantly higher prevalence among men (24.5% [22.1–27.0]) than women (0.1% [0.01–0.3]). The overall prevalence of other tobacco use was 8.9% (7.4–10.7), with lower values for men (5.6% [4.1–7.2]) compared to women (11.7% [9.4–14.1]). Tobacco smoking among men was significantly associated with an increased age and alcohol consumption. The analysis of risk factors for other tobacco use stratified by gender showed that age, education, residence, and alcohol consumption were significantly associated with consumption for women, and age and alcohol consumption for men. Conclusion: Tobacco use is common in Burkina Faso. To effectively reduce tobacco use in Burkina Faso, a comprehensive tobacco control program should consider associated factors, such as gender, age, and alcohol consumption.

Abstract Background Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are alarmingly increasing in low-income countries. Yet, very limited is known about the prevalence and risk factors associated with MetS in Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among adult outpatients (N = 325) at St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The study was conducted in accordance with STEPwise approach of the World Health Organization. MetS was defined using modified National Cholesterol Education Program’s Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results The overall prevalence of MetS was 20.3%. Among the 325 participants, 76.9% had at least one MetS components. Reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was the most common MetS component at 48.6%, followed by elevated blood pressure at 36.3%, and elevated fasting glucose at 32.6%. Older age (odds ratio [OR] = 4.15; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.43–12.04), Amhara ethnicity (OR = 2.36; 95%CI = 1.14–4.88), overweight status (OR = 2.21; 95%CI = 1.03–4.71), higher income (OR = 3.31; 95%CI = 1.11–9.84) and higher education levels (OR = 2.19; 95%CI = 1.05–4.59) were risk factors for MetS. Conclusion The disease burden of MetS among Ethiopians is high, and is associated with age, weight, income, education and ethnicity. Comprehensive screening and assessment of MetS is needed along with effective preventive and treatment strategies in low-income countries, such as Ethiopia.

Abstract Background: Lifestyle modifiable risk factors are a leading preventable cause of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Amongst them, alcohol and tobacco consumption are the most important. Studies characterizing the prevalence of alcohol consumption in low-income countries are lacking. This study describes the prevalence of alcohol use in Burkina Faso and its associated factors separately for urban and rural residents.Methods: Data from the 2013 Burkina Faso World Health Organization (WHO) Stepwise approach to Surveillance (STEPS) were analyzed. The prevalence of alcohol consumption over the last 30 days were recorded and recoded into categories according to WHO recommendations: low alcohol consumption (<40g alcohol/day for men, <20g for women), mid alcohol consumption (between 40 and 59.9g/day for men and between 20 and 39.9g for women) and a heavy consumption (>60g/day for men and 40g for women). Logistic regression analyses identified factors associated with alcohol consumption use. Results: In the whole population 3,559 (75.8% [72.5 – 78.7]) were not consuming any alcohol, 614 (12.9% [10.9 – 15.3]) had a low alcohol consumption, 399 (8.5% [7.1 – 10.1]) a mid alcohol consumption and 120 (2.7% [2.0 – 3.7]) a high consumption. Age was associated with alcohol intake with a gradient effect, older people having a higher risk (AOR = 2.31 [1.68 – 3.17] for the 55 – 64 years old compared to 25 – 34 group). Tobacco consumption was also significantly associated with alcohol intake with a gradient effect, those with higher tobacco consumption being at higher risk of abusive alcohol intake. When analyzing the risk of having abusive consumption in those consuming alcohol, we found a highly significant gender effect, with males having an increased risk (AOR = 2.53 [1.38 – 4.68]).Conclusion: Our data showed an important burden of alcohol consumption in Burkina Faso with a strong relationship with age, gender and tobacco consumption and disparities across the different regions of Burkina Faso. To effectively reduce alcohol consumption in Burkina Faso, a comprehensive control program should consider these associated factors.

Abstract Background The childhood vaccination program (EPI) is claimed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be the most cost-effective intervention to reduce child mortality. Therefore, in low-income countries governments and health authorities invest in vaccination programs to reach herd immunity. However, despite the resources allocated to the EPI, epidemics preventable through vaccines are still reported in these countries. In Cameroon, the Foumbot district in the West region has witnessed measles epidemics since 2010 and in 2013 a polio outbreak was reported. Methods The design of this study is a cross-sectional survey. A total of 160 mothers of children between the ages of 12 to 23 months were selected by simple random sampling technique. Pre-tested structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data was analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Results The outcome of this survey shows that 60% of the children studied were completely vaccinated, 37.75% were partially vaccinated, and 1.25% had not received any vaccine. The logistic regression analysis shows that a poor knowledge of infectious diseases (OR=0.3) was a significant predictor of partial and no vaccination status in children. Conclusion Parents’ decision-making for EPI was based on the information and experiences available in the community. Therefore, parents who are poorly educated on VPDs and living in a community with missing information and misinformation about vaccination will probably not complete the EPI. Public health authorities should invest in health education programs with the goal of developing skills for health- seeking behavior in individuals and communities.

Abstract BackgroundThe prevalence of Diabetes has been rising more rapidly in middle and low-income countries. In Africa, World Health Organization projections anticipate Diabetes Mellitus to be the seventh leading cause of death in 2030. Alcohol consumption intervene mainly in diabetes evolution, in such a way that it can interfere with self-care behaviors which are important determinants of diabetes prognosis. In this study, we evaluate factors associated with alcohol consumption among persons with Diabetes in Kampala so as to inform management policies and improve comprehensive diabetes care.MethodologyA cross-sectional study was conducted systematically among 290 adults with diabetes, attending diabetic clinics at Mulago National Referral hospital and St Francis hospital Nsambya. Data was entered and analyzed in the EPI-INFO version 7 and STATA 13 software. Modified Poisson regression was used to identify factors associated with alcohol consumption among persons with diabetes. All tests were two-sided and the significance level for all the analyses was set to p < 0.05.Results23.45% of persons with Diabetes are taking alcohol [95%CI: 18.9–28.7%]. Of these, 11.3% [95%CI: 8.1–15.6%] consumed alcohol hazardously last year due to stress (58.8%). Divorced, separated and Widow patients (Adj PR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.21–0.83), Protestant (Adj PR: 0.44, 95%CI: 0.24–0.82); Muslim (Adj PR: 0.30%CI: 0.14–0.62); and Pentecostal (Adj PR: 0.32, 95%CI: 0.15–0.65) were less likely to consume alcohol. Diabetic patients who spend more than five years with diabetes were more likely to consume alcohol (Adj PR: 1.90, 95%CI: 1.25–2.88)ConclusionThe prevalence of alcohol consumption among persons with Diabetes in Kampala is high. The majority of persons with Diabetes consume alcohol hazardously due to stress. Having spent less than five years with diabetes, being widow, Protestant, Muslim and Pentecostal are associated with less consumption of alcohol. Regular screening for stress must be done among persons with Diabetes and affected individuals should be supported to reduce their stress. Sensitization message regarding alcohol consumption among persons with Diabetes should be targeting never married patients and patients who have spent more than five years with diabetes; also religion should be considered as an important avenue for health education in the community.
