Kenya is experiencing a rising burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) due to epidemiological and demographic shifts, along with increasing risk factors. Ideal cardiovascular health (iCVH), defined b...
Data from the 2015 Kenya STEPwise survey on non-communicable disease risk factors, including 4,500 adults aged 18-69, were analysed. iCVH was assessed using 2022 AHA criteria based on seven factors: n...
The mean CVH score in Kenya was 78.6% (95% CI: 77.9,79.2%), higher in females (79.3%), rural areas (79.5%), and non-drinkers (79.6%) than in males (77.9%), urban residents (77.0%), and alcohol drinker...
Less than half of Kenyan adults have iCVH, with poorer CVH status among older adults, urban residents, and alcohol users. Targeted public health interventions could mitigate the CVD burden and enhance...
Tungiasis is a highly neglected tropical skin disease caused by the sand flea, Tunga penetrans, the female of which burrows into the skin, causing pain and itching. The disease occurs throughout South...
We conducted the first nationally representative survey of tungiasis, including nine counties covering the major ecological zones of Kenya. A stratified multistage random sampling was used to select 2...
The overall prevalence of tungiasis in the first survey was 1.35% [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.15-1.59%], and 0.89% in the second survey. The prevalence ranged from 0.08% (95% CI: 0.01-0.59%) in T...
Tungiasis is widely but heterogeneously distributed across Kenya. School-based surveys offer an efficient strategy for mapping tungiasis distribution....
Poor-quality, substandard and falsified, medicines pose a significant public health threat, particularly in low-middle-income countries. A retrospective study was performed on Kenya's Pharmacovigilanc...
Despite global, regional, and national efforts to address intimate partner violence (IPV), physical IPV persists as a significant challenge in Kenya. This study employs geospatial analysis to examine ...
The study used a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study design based on the 2022 Kenya demographic and health survey. Analyses were conducted using Stata version 17.0 and ArcMap version 10.8. S...
The study found 28.8% (10,477) of the surveyed women reported experiencing physical intimate partner violence. The spatial analysis identified significant clusters in the southwest and central regions...
Spatial variations in intimate partner violence risk for women in Kenya underscore the need for targeted government interventions. Focusing on hotspot regions, especially among women with the poorest ...
Public procurement related expenditure is approximately fifty to seventy percent of the national budget of developing countries and accounts for almost a third of the gross domestic product. Cognizant...
Climate change poses an immediate threat to tropical soils with changes in rainfall patterns resulting in accelerated land degradation processes. To ensure the future sustainability of arable land, it...
In urban and rural areas of Turkana County, Kenya, we found that 2% of household members of patients with Plasmodium falciparum infections were infected with P. vivax. Enhanced surveillance of P. viva...
Differentiated service delivery models are implemented by HIV care programs globally, but models for pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV (PPWH) are lacking. We conducted a discrete choice ex...
Five public health facilities in western Kenya....
PPWH were enrolled from April to December 2022 and asked to choose between pairs of hypothetical clinics that differed across 5 attributes: clinic visit frequency during pregnancy (monthly vs. every 2...
Among 250 PPWH (median age 31 years, 42% pregnant, 58% postpartum, 20% with a gap in care), preferences were for pregnancy visits every 2 months (β = 0.15), postpartum visits with infant immunizations...
PPWH prefer fewer clinic visits than currently provided within the standard of care in Kenya, supporting the need for implementation of differentiated service delivery for this population....
People with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) smoke at much higher rates than the general population, resulting in higher risk for tobacco-related morbidity and mortality. The efficacy of smoking ces...
We conducted a randomized, 2 × 2 factorial design trial based in Nairobi, Kenya, to evaluate the efficacy of bupropion versus placebo, and a culturally tailored behavioral cessation therapy, called Po...
Between June 2020 and August 2023, 300 participants were randomly assigned. Most participants were men (71.4%) who were moderately dependent on nicotine (Fagerström Test of Cigarette Dependence, mean ...
Both bupropion and PSF cessation counseling were effective in promoting abstinence from smoking at 36 weeks. The combined intervention was associated with higher abstinence rates than either therapy a...
The epidemiology and circulation patterns of various rhinovirus types within populations remains under-explored. We generated 803 VP4/VP2 gene sequences from rhinovirus-positive samples collected from...
