Abstract

The study investigated the effects of aqueous extract of Cissus populnea stem on selected reproductive hormones and haematology of treated rats. Ten albino rats, averaging 190 g in weight, were divided into two groups of five. Group A (control) received 50mg/g body weight of commercial feed and distilled water, while Group B received 50mg/g body weight of the extract, commercial feed, and water daily using a plastic syringe. After 30 days of treatment, the rats were sacrificed using a mixture of acetone and chloroform. Blood and testes were collected to observe the extract's effects on hormones and haematology. The testes/body weight ratio showed no significant differences (P > 0.05). However, hormone profile results indicated significant (p < 0.05) increases in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, and a significant (P > 0.05) decrease in prolactin in the treated rats. Haematological analysis revealed significant (p < 0.05) increases in red blood cell count, lymphocyte percentage, white blood cell count, packed cell volume, and platelet count, but significant (P > 0.05) decreases in mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, and neutrophil percentage. The study concluded that Cissus populnea extract positively affects reproductive hormones and haematology, boosting the sexual reproductive hormones in the treated rats.

Abstract

Background: Malaria remains a major public health concern in Nigeria, with university students in endemic areas particularly vulnerable due to varying socioeconomic conditions. This study investigates the influence of socioeconomic factors on malaria prevalence among students of Kogi State University, Anyigba, Nigeria.Aims: The study aimed at assessing the socioeconomic determinants of malaria prevalence among students in Anyigba, Kogi State. To also examine the relationship between students' socioeconomic status and malaria incidence. To identify key environmental and behavioral factors contributing to malaria exposure, and to recommend policy and health interventions tailored to student populations in malaria-endemic areas.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was adopted. Stratified random sampling was used to select participants across variables such as age, gender, income, and housing types. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using logistic regression to determine significant predictors of malaria prevalence.Results: The findings revealed a high malaria prevalence among low-income students and those living in shared accommodations. Key determinants of malaria incidence included low income, poor housing conditions, and limited access to healthcare services. Notably, students with poor access to healthcare had a malaria prevalence of 68%, compared to 33% among those with better access.Conclusion: Socioeconomic factors significantly influence malaria prevalence in the student population. Financial constraints, inadequate housing, and poor healthcare access increase vulnerability to infection. An integrated malaria control approach is recommended, including university-led awareness campaigns, improved sanitation in student accommodations, and enhanced collaboration with local healthcare providers.

Abstract

Background: This study investigates the relationship between nutritional outcomes and economic vulnerability among elderly populations in rural Nigeria, analysing the effects of market liberalization, agricultural reforms, and policy changes on nutritional status in light of sustainable development goals of Nigeria.Aims and scope: To examine how economic reforms impact the nutritional security of senior citizens (60 years and older) living in rural Ogbomoso North, with focus on the relationship between economic indicators and nutritional outcomes during periods of major economic transition.Methods: A cross-sectional mixed-methods study was conducted with 310 elderly participants (60 years of age and older) during a period of major economic reforms, examining both economic indicators and nutritional status.Results: Prevalence rates showed 32.7% overweight, 18.3% obesity, and 10.5% underweight among participants. Obesity was more prevalent in women (22.1%) compared to men (14.5%). The study revealed that 65% of participants modified their food choices based on market prices rather than nutritional value, particularly during periods of economic instability.Conclusion: The nutritional security of elderly populations in rural Nigeria is significantly impacted by socioeconomic factors and economic reforms. The findings highlight the need for coordinated policy approaches that integrate economic sustainability initiatives with nutritional interventions to protect vulnerable elderly populations during economic transitions.

Abstract

Nutritional status is a serious public health problem because it is associated with an increased risk of mortality and morbidity. This problem is caused by caregivers' feeding habits, which can affect the nutritional status of toddlers. The impacts that arise if not handled properly will pose a risk of stunted growth and development of toddlers. This research analyses the relationship between feeding behaviour and nutritional status in toddlers. The research design uses correlation analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The independent variable is feeding behaviour, and the dependent variable is the nutritional status of toddlers. This research was conducted in December 2024 in the Dawe Kudus Community Health Center Work Area. A total sample of 71 caregivers was selected using random sampling techniques. The research instruments used the Child Feeding Questionnaire, digital scales, and microtois. Data analysis used the Spearman Rank (rho) test. The research results showed a statistically significant relationship between feeding behaviour and the nutritional status of toddlers, with a value of p = 0.003 (p < 0.05). This feeding behaviour contributes to improving the nutritional status of toddlers, so there is a need for further intervention to improve caregiver behaviour in feeding so that the nutritional status of toddlers is optimal.

Abstract

Background of study: Malawi produces groundnuts for consumption, trade, and animal feed. Microbiological quality, nutrient composition, physical properties, in groundnut flour sold in Malawian markets had not been identified and studied extensively. Therefore, their nature and extent of distribution needed to be documented as the basis for intervention programs in Malawi.Aims and scope of paper: To assess Microbiological Quality, Nutrient composition, and Physical Characteristics in Groundnut Flour sold in Local markets in Central and Southern Regions of Malawi.Methods: In the Central, 16 samples were purchased of 32 while in the Southern region, 22 samples were purchased of 39 respectively. Samples were stored in a deep freezer at 4 OC for 26 days pending analysis. Later samples were analyzed using multiple standard methods and the data were analyzed using SPSS.Result: 18.42% of samples contained E. coli ranging from 0 to 30 cfu/g, and 13.16% contained Salmonella ranging from 0 to 70 cfu/g, and these exceeded the permissible limits for Malawi and the International Commission on Microbiological Standards for Foods. The limit for Malawi is 10,000 cfu/g, while the ICMSF is 500,000 cfu/g.  They contained protein (30.67%), carbohydrate (37.87%), fat (43.90%), and ash (3.43%). They were light in color with L* (49.79-59.88).Conclusion: The results indicated that the groundnut flour studied was susceptible to microbial contamination, hence, hygienic monitoring before marketing is required. Policy enactment for sanitary practices, and enforcement of standards to reduce the menace of microbes and avoid food-borne diseases among the populace is required.

Abstract

Background of study: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease often experienced by the elderly, characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways. Good asthma control is important to prevent recurrence. Physical activity contributes to improving lung function and reducing inflammation, thus helping to better control asthma.Aims and scope: identify the relationship between physical activity and asthma control in the elderly.Method: This research is quantitative using descriptive correlation and cross-sectional approaches. The sample of this study had 58 respondents at Puskesmas Rawat Inap Simpang Tiga and Puskesmas Rejosari who used purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using two questionnaires, the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) to assess physical activity levels and the Asthma Control Test (ACT) to evaluate asthma control. Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate analysis using Chi-square test.Results: The majority of respondents had heavy physical activity as many as 39 people (67.2%), and light physical activity as many as 19 people (32.8%), and uncontrolled asthma as many as 40 people (69%) and partially controlled asthma as many as 18 people (31%). The results of statistical tests showed a relationship between physical activity and asthma control in the elderly with a p-value of 0.029 < 0.05.Conclusion: The heavier the intensity of physical activity, such as intense exercise, heavy physical labor, or fast running, the more difficult it is for the elderly to control asthma. In contrast, light physical activity is more recommended as it has the potential to support better asthma control.

Abstract

Background: The nutritional status of toddlers serves as a key marker of their overall health and development, influencing cognitive abilities, immune function, and long-term productivity. Exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months is essential for supporting and enhancing nutritional well-being during early childhood. Nevertheless, public understanding of the critical benefits of exclusive breastfeeding is still limited.Aims: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of toddlers in the working area of Dawe Public Health Center, Kudus Regency.Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 71 mothers with toddlers were selected through random sampling. Exclusive breastfeeding served as the independent variable, while the toddler’s nutritional status was the dependent variable, measured using the Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS) growth chart. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires and document analysis, and the results were analyzed using the chi-square statistical test.Results: The results of the analysis revealed a statistically significant association between exclusive breastfeeding and toddlers' nutritional status, as evidenced by a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). This suggests that toddlers who were exclusively breastfed were more likely to exhibit better nutritional outcomes.Conclusion: A significant correlation exists between exclusive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of toddlers. Consequently, it is essential to enhance health education efforts for mothers regarding the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding. In addition, ongoing support from healthcare providers is crucial to increase awareness and promote better exclusive breastfeeding practices within the community.
