Abstract

The article discusses the urgent need for wealthy nations to provide support to Africa and other vulnerable countries in addressing the impacts of climate change. It highlights the disproportionate impact of the climate crisis on Africa, despite the continent contributing very little to global emissions. The article emphasizes that the consequences of the climate crisis, such as poverty, infectious diseases, forced migration, and conflict, have global implications. It calls for increased climate finance, focusing on resilience and health system strengthening, as well as the establishment of a financing facility for loss and damage. The authors argue that addressing the climate crisis is not only a moral imperative but also in the self-interest of all nations. [Extracted from the article]

11. Editorial: COP27 Climate Change Conference: Urgent action needed for Africa and the world

Abstract

The 2022 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paints a dark picture of the future of life on earth, characterised by ecosystem collapse, species extinction, and climate hazards such as heatwaves and floods (1). These are all linked to physical and mental health problems, with direct and indirect consequences of increased morbidity and mortality. To avoid these catastrophic health effects across all regions of the globe, there is broad agreement—as 231 health journals argued together in 2021—that the rise in global temperature must be limited to less than 1.5oC compared with pre-industrial levels. While the Paris Agreement of 2015 outlines a global action framework that incorporates providing climate finance to developing countries, this support has yet to materialise (2). COP27 is the fifth Conference of the Parties (COP) to be organised in Africa since its inception in 1995. Ahead of this meeting, we—as health journal editors from across the continent—call for urgent action to ensure it is the COP that finally delivers climate justice for Africa and vulnerable countries. This is essential not just for the health of those countries, but for the health of the whole world.

Abstract

Smoking is the most well-established cause of chronic airflow obstruction (CAO) but particulate air pollution and poverty have also been implicated. We regressed sex-specific prevalence of CAO from 41 Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study sites against smoking prevalence from the same study, the gross national income per capita and the local annual mean level of ambient particulate matter (PM2.5) using negative binomial regression. The prevalence of CAO was not independently associated with PM2.5 but was strongly associated with smoking and was also associated with poverty. Strengthening tobacco control and improved understanding of the link between CAO and poverty should be prioritised.

Abstract

Ahead of this meeting, we - as health journal editors from across the continent - call for urgent action to ensure it is the COP that finally delivers climate justice for Africa and vulnerable countries. The 2022 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paints a dark picture of the future of life on earth, characterised by ecosystem collapse, species extinction, and climate hazards such as heatwaves and floods.[1] These are all linked to physical and mental health problems, with direct and indirect consequences of increased morbidity and mortality. : Wealthy nations must step up support for Africa and vulnerable countries in addressing past, present and future impacts of climate change†.

Abstract

The article calls for an action to achieve environmental justice in Africa and around the world. Topics mentioned include the impact of climate crisis on the environmental and social determinants of health in Africa, the need to provide support to vulnerable countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and the importance of introducing a financial tool for loss and damage and for mitigation and adaptation.

Abstract

Background: Asthma continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. But, its burden among adult populations in university campuses is not well described.Method: Through a multistage cluster sampling of students and staff of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, we obtained a representative sample, each for students and staff. We administered the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) screening questionnaire to all the respondents. A subgroup did a spirometry test and completed a detailed questionnaire. Asthma was considered “possible”, if a respondent provided affirmative response to symptoms of “wheezing or whistling”, “attack of shortness of breath”, “diagnosed attack of asthma” in the last 12 months or “currently taking medicines for asthma”.Results: From population of 13 750 students and 1428 staff of the university, we systematically sampled 2750 (20%) students and all the staff. Amongst these, 2372 students and 455 staff completed the screening questionnaire. The mean age (SD) of the responders was 21.9 (3.2) and 46.1 (8.9) for students and staff and most of them were men; 58.6% and 65.9%, respectively. While an estimated 2.6% (95% CI: 1.7–3.5) of students had an asthma attack in the preceding 12 months, 14.5% (95% CI: 12.5–16.5) and 25.2% (95% CI: 22.8–27.7) reported shortness of breath and nocturnal cough, respectively. The staff population reported fewer symptoms. The proportion with “possible asthma” was 18.2% (95% CI: 16.0–20.4) for students and 8.0% (95% CI: 5.4–10.7) for staff.Conclusion: The prevalence of asthma is high among students and staff of Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria.

50. Chronic Airflow Obstruction in a Black African Population: Results of BOLD Study, Ile-Ife, Nigeria.

Abstract

Global estimates suggest that Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is emerging as a leading cause of death in developing countries but there are few spirometry-based general population data on its prevalence and risk factors in sub-Saharan Africa. We used the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) protocol to select a representative sample of adults aged 40 years and above in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. All the participants underwent spirometry and provided information on smoking history, biomass and occupational exposures as well as diagnosed respiratory diseases and symptoms. Chronic Airflow Obstruction (CAO) was defined as the ratio of post-bronchodilator (BD) one second Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) to Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) below the lower limit of normal (LLN) of the population distribution for FEV1/FVC. The overall prevalence of obstruction (post-BD FEV1/FVC < LLN) was 7.7% (2.7% above LLN) using Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) equations. It was associated with few respiratory symptoms; 0.3% reported a previous doctor-diagnosed chronic bronchitis, emphysema or COPD. Independent predictors included a lack of education (OR 2-5, 95% Cl; 1.0, 6.4) and a diagnosis of either TB (OR 23.4, 95% Cl: 2.0, 278.6) or asthma (OR 35.4, 95%CI: 4.9, 255.8). There was no association with the use of firewood or coal for cooking or heating. The vast majority of this population (89%) are never smokers. We conclude that the prevalence of CAO is low in Ile-Ife, Nigeria and unrelated to biomass exposure. The key independent predictors are poor education, and previous diagnosis of tuberculosis or asthma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
