Investigating the relationship between poor nutrition in early-life and markers of metabolic disorders in young people within the General Population Cohort in rural Uganda (The DEPROMACE study)
REFNo: HS2757ES
The overall aim of this study is to investigate children exposed to undernutrition (low-birth weight and stunting) for a reduction in pancreas and kidney function capacity by assessing their glucose changes following an oral glucose test and BP response to changes in dietary salt intake
The primary study objectives are:
1. To identify children in the general population who have evidence of early childhood malnutrition.
2. To identify the social and cultural factors associated with early childhood nutrition within this population.
3. To compare the relative glucose area under the curve (AUC) comparing subjects who have history of low birth weight and undernutrition in early-life to those with normal birth weight, normal weight and height below 5 years.
4. To compare blood pressure changes following salt-challenge tests between subjects with history of low birth weight and undernutrition in early-life and those with normal birth weight, normal weight and height below 5 years.

Urban green spaces as a potential climate change adaptation strategy for climate-sensitive health outcomes: a case study of Kampala, Uganda RefNo:SPH-2023-389
REFNo: HS3041ES
In this study, generally, we will investigate the association between residential surrounding greenness and climate-sensitive health outcomes among adult urban residents of Kampala, Uganda. More specifically, we will assess the following:
1. The association between residential surrounding greenness and hypertension among urban residents of Kampala
2. The association between residential surrounding greenness and depressive disorder among urban residents of Kampala
3. The association between residential surrounding greenness and anxiety disorder among urban residents of Kampala
4. The mediating role of outdoor air pollution, physical activity, and outdoor temperature in the association between residential surrounding greenness and climate-sensitive health outcomes (hypertension, depressive and anxiety disorders).
