Abstract Coping with dementia requires an integrated approach encompassing personal, health, research, and community domains. Here we describe “Walking the Talk for Dementia,” immersive initiative aimed at empowering people dementia, enhancing understanding, inspiring collaborations. This involved 300 participants from 25 nationalities, including care partners, clinicians, policymakers, researchers, advocates a 4‐day, 40 km walk through Camino de Santiago Compostela, Spain. A 2‐day symposium...
Background Population ageing in Africa will increase the burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias within next few decades. Despite potential for discovery novel genetic risks African populations, there is still a paucity dementia research among indigenous Africans. Objective We aimed to investigate knowledge attitudes elderly population Nigeria about genetics. Methods One hundred clinic attendees (aged ≥60 years) recruited at University College Hospital, Ibadan, were surveyed...
Falls are a devastating consequence of Parkinson's disease (PD) and due to motor imbalance. However, the frequency falls their risk factors among Nigerians with PD is not known despite significant increase in cases country. To assess fall Nigerian patients.Using an analytical design compare falling versus non-falling patients, 81 patients were assessed for clinical factors, falls, candidate according Tinetti Balance Gait, Unified Disease Rating Scale subsection 1, Timed Up Go Tests....
Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying diseases in ancestrally diverse populations is a critical step towards realization of global application precision medicine. The African and admixed enable mapping complex traits given their greater levels diversity, extensive population substructure, distinct linkage disequilibrium patterns.Here we perform comprehensive genome-wide assessment Parkinson's disease (PD) 197,918 individuals (1,488 cases; 196,430 controls) ancestry, characterizing...
Introduction Stroke is a prominent cause of death, disability, and dementia in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The Investigative Research Education Network works collaboratively with stroke survivors individuals serving as community controls to comprehensively characterize the genomic, sociocultural, economic behavioral risk factors for SSA. Purpose In this paper, we aim to: i) explore attitudes, beliefs, practices related Ghana Nigeria using process qualitative description; ii) propose actions...
Clinical disease registries are useful for quality improvement in care, benchmarking standards, and facilitating research. Collaborative networks established thence can enhance national international studies by generating more robust samples credible data promote knowledge sharing capacity building. This report describes the methodology, baseline data, prospects of Nigeria Parkinson Disease Registry.This registry was November 2016. Ethics approval obtained all sites. Basic anonymized...
Background It is crucial to assess genomic literacy related stroke among Africans in preparation for the ethical, legal and societal implications of genetic revolution which has begun Africa. Objective To knowledge, attitudes practices (KAP) West about studies. Methods A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted patients stroke-free controls recruited across 15 sites Ghana Nigeria. Participants' knowledge heritability stroke, willingness undergo testing perception potential benefits...
Abstract The relationship between APOE polymorphisms and Parkinson’s disease (PD) in black Africans has not been previously investigated. We evaluated the association polymorphic variability self-declared cognition 1100 Nigerians with PD 1097 age-matched healthy controls. Cognition was assessed using single item question (item 1.1) of MDS-UPDRS. genotype allele frequencies did differ controls ( p > 0.05). No allelic or genotypic observed age at onset PD. In PD, ε 4/ 4 conferred a two-fold...
Abstract Stroke, a significant neurological condition, often results in stroke survivors who are older adults relying on family caregivers, including children and spouses, leading to increased challenges for caregivers. This study investigates the experiences of caregivers caring adults, focusing context management. Participants were purposively sampled, three focus group discussions involving (n = 18) had experienced strokes conducted. Conversations recorded, translated, transcribed,...
Data on non-motor symptoms (NMS) in black Africans with Parkinson's disease (PD) are sparse.To describe the profile of NMS Nigeria PD Registry (NPDR) cohort and explore relationship between motor phenotype.We conducted a cross-sectional study frequency burden NMS, based scale (NMSS) Chaudhuri method respectively our cohort. Baseline demographics, characteristics (Hoehn Yahr stage, MDS-UPDRS total score Part III score), phenotype (based Stebbin et al's algorithm), levodopa equivalent daily...
