Spatial analysis of the prevalence of obesity and overweight among women in Ghana

Killian Asampana Asosega et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore spatial disparities in overweight/obesity prevalence among women in Ghana. The prevalence was high among educated, wealthy, and urban-dwelling women. Clustering of overweight/obesity was observed in Greater Accra, Central, Western and Ashanti regions. The spatial lag model showed that women's age and household wealth were significant factors contributing to spatial differences in body size.

Worldwide trends in hypertension prevalence and progress in treatment and control from 1990 to 2019: a pooled analysis of 1201 population-representative studies with 104 million participants

Bin Zhou et al.

Summary: Global prevalence of hypertension doubled from 1990 to 2019, with significant improvements in detection, treatment, and control rates. In 2019, 59% of women and 49% of men with hypertension were previously diagnosed, while treatment rates were 47% for women and 38% for men, with control rates at 23% for women and 18% for men. Disparities exist across countries, with some middle-income nations now outperforming high-income countries in hypertension management.
