    (Faculty of Medical sciences University of calabar, 2023-08-30) Odeigah, LO; Agede, OA; Ogunjemilua, SB; Obalowu, IA; Mutalub, YB
    Objectives: Increase in body mass index (BMI) increases the risk of developing high blood pressure (BP). Several studies also indicate that high BP is associated with age. Controversies have been found regarding the association of BMI with high BP and age. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the association between BP, BMI, and age. Material and Methods: Using the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR 131103) Study on the Effects of Mindfulness on Lifestyle Behavior and BP, prospectively gathered data were retrospectively analyzed. A randomized controlled study was conducted. Using the statistical MedCalc program, the patient demographic data – including their age, BMI, and BP – were statistically examined. Statistical significance was determined using a 0.05 P-value. Results: Of the 37 participants, 43.3% had a normal BMI. One-fourth (40.5%) of the people were obese. 13.5% and 32.4% of the people had normal systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP, respectively. Age, SBP, or DBP did not significantly correlate with BMI. Nevertheless, there was a positive and substantial correlation between BMI, age, SBP, DBP, weight, and height. Conclusion: According to the study’s findings, there are no appreciable positive connections between BMI and either SBP or DBP, or age. However, the weakly positive relationships between SBP and DBP and age suggest that regular BP monitoring is necessary.

    Correlation between Body Mass Index and Lipid Profile among Healthy Adults: Analysis of ICPSR-based data
    (East African Medical Association, 2023) Odeigah, LO; Agede, OA; Ogunjemilua, SB; Obalowu, IA; Mutalub, YB
    Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased in the majority of developing countries notwithstanding the considerable incidence of undernutrition. The elevated lipid levels associated with obesity may lead to a variety of metabolic and cardiovascular problems. The purpose of this study is to determine the association between body mass index and lipid profiles in healthy adults (BMI). Methods: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, its risk factors, and the related lifestyle in adult Myanmar citizens were examined in the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research Study (ICPSR146521) using data that had been obtained prospectively. The patient's lipid profiles, and demographic data were statistically analyzed using the statistical MedCalc tool. Statistical significance was determined using a 0.05 p-value. Results: A total of 32 subjects, ranging in age from 18 to 90, were examined. Of the individuals, 48.34% were of normal weight, 32.12% were obese, and 19.54% were overweight. 79.66% of the participants who were obese belonged to the class 1 category. A high TG level, a high LDL level, a high total cholesterol level, and a low HDL level were present in 33.11%, 58.28%, 40.40%, and 6.29% of the individuals, respectively. Conclusion: Body mass index had a positive correlation with TG levels and a negative correlation with age. As a result, as BMI rises, TG levels rise as well, but BMI falls as age rises. Age and TC levels have a positive correlation; as a result, TC levels rise with age.

    FEMALE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION IN WOMEN ATTENDING THE LENTIVIRAL CLINIC AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN TEACHING HOSPITAL, ILORIN, NIGERIA
    (NIGERIAN JOURNAL OF FAMILY PRACTICE, 2021) Odeigah, L O; Fawibe, AE; Bolarin, MT; Obalowu, IA; Mutalub, YB; Williams, FE
    Introduction: Sexual dysfunction in HIV positive women is common and it is often associated with psychosocial distress. Not much scientific attention has been focused on this important aspect of the life of the HIV-positive woman especially in Nigeria and in the West African sub-region at large, where issues pertaining to sexuality are hardly ever discussed due to cultural restrictions and taboos. Objectives: To determine the prevalence, psychological status, and socio demographic/clinical factors associated with sexual dysfunction in HIV-positive women at the lentiviral clinic of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State. Methods: This was a hospital based cross-sectional study conducted over a six month period. Data were collected from 370 respondents using a structured questionnaire. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12) was used to assess their psychological status while the modified Female Sexual Function Index Questionnaire (FSFI) was used to assess female sexual dysfunction. Questionnaire was interviewer administered and the data was analyzed using Epi-info 2011 package. Results: It showed that the prevalence of Sexual Dysfunction in HIV positive women was sixty one percent (61%). Thirty five percent (35%) of the respondents had significant psychological distress. The presence of psychological distress was significantly associated with Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). There was no association between FSD and religion, ethnicity, duration of marriage or presence of other chronic diseases. Increasing age, multiple sex partners, non-disclosure of HIV status, stigma, on-going stressful event, being underweight or obese were significantly associated with FSD. High level of education, being married, monogamy, WHO clinical stage I disease and higher CD4 count were associated with better sexual functioning. Conclusion: This study brings to the fore the need for physicians and healthcare workers who render comprehensive care as frontline doctors to acquire skills needed to attend to and alleviate the sexual problems of women in an African setting.

    Interplay between Lipid Profile and Weight-Related Outcomes in Healthy Overweight Adults: In-sights from Comprehensive Analyses
    (Faculty of Basic Medical and Clinical Sciences, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, 2023-08-28) Odeigah, LO; Agede, OA; Ogunjemilua, SB; Obalowu, IA; Mutalub, YB
    Background: The escalating prevalence of overweight and obesity has heightened concerns about cardiovascu-lar health. The intricate interplay between lipid profile variables and weight-related outcomes plays a pivotal role in shaping cardiovascular risks among individuals with excess body weight. This study investigates the associa-tions between lipid profile variables and weight-related indicators in a cohort of healthy, overweight adults, shedding light on potential implications for cardiovascular risk management. Methods: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, risk factors, and related lifestyle in adult Myanmar citizens were examined in the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research Study (ICPSR146521) using prospective data. The patient's lipid profiles and demographic data were statistically analyzed using the statistical MedCalc tool. Statistical significance was determined using a 0.05 p-value. Results: Results demonstrate that while BMI is influenced by multiple factors beyond lipid profile variables, waist circumference exhibits moderate association with these variables. Notably, triglycerides significantly cor-related with waist circumference, suggesting a potential role in visceral fat accumulation. Additionally, the study highlights the impact of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels on body weight, indicating that higher HDL levels are associated with lower body weights among healthy overweight adults. Conclusion: This study provides comprehensive insights into the complex relationship between lipid profile variables and weight-related outcomes among healthy, overweight adults. These findings underscore the im-portance of weight management strategies for cardiovascular health and suggest potential avenues for targeted interventions. By understanding the interplay between lipid profiles and obesity, clinicians and public health professionals can develop more effective strategies to mitigate cardiovascular risks in this demographic.

    Pattern of adverse drug reactions reported at zonal Pharmacovigilance Centre, Ilorin, North-central Nigeria: a 15year review
    (East African Medical Association, 2022-05) Agede, OA; Odeigah, LO; Mutalub, YB; Obalowu, IA; Aiyetoro, SO; Jimoh, AAG
    Background: Drugs have the potential to cause adverse drug reactions (ADRs). ADRs causes a great burden on healthcare system in terms of increasing morbidity and mortality with significant economic consequences. ADRs requires active monitoring and in sub-Saharan Africa, ADRs are either not reported or under reported which poses a great challenge. This study was conducted with the aim of understanding the pattern and occurrence of ADRs, the sociodemographic distribution, organ system affected, implicated drugs for the ADRs and clinical outcome. Method: This study is a 15year retrospective study that analyzed the ADRs reported to Zonal Pharmacovigilance Center, Ilorin, North-central Nigeria. A total of 280 patients reported 301 adverse drug reactions between 2005 and 2020 to the ZPC and the ADRs reported were analyzed. Results: The age group most commonly affected by ADRs was 31-40 years with affectation of both gender. The organ system mostly affected was the skin and patients presented with pruritus and skin rash. The most common suspected drug for the ADRs were antiretroviral drugs. Most of the ADRs were mild and most patients recovered fully. Conclusions: ADRs were under-reported in this study. Most were mild in nature and affected patients recovered fully. It is important to understand the pattern and occurrence of ADRs for the safety of patients and to reduce it burden on healthcare system. This can be achieved by effective monitoring and sensitization of health care workers.
