“…In Liberia, Ghana, Nigeria and Burkina Faso cardiovascular diseases also accounted for a high proportion of the medical admissions: between 16 and 37%. [19][20][21][22] The CFR in these hospitals, 20-29%, was similar to that found in Mamba Point Hospital. In West African countries, stroke contributed to 11-17% of the deaths with a fatality rate of 34-69%.…”

“…[23][24][25] While heart failure is the most common heart disease, ischaemic heart disease is extremely rare in sub-Saharan countries. 14,17,19,22 Toxicity of traditional medicinal herbs may have played an important role in some of the liver and renal failures leading to death, but it was impossible to ascertain this aetiology.…”

“…Nigeria, with an approximate population of 160 million, has an estimated proportional mortality attributable to CVD of 12 %, mainly among adult population who presented at the secondary health care facilities in the cities (11,12) . In 2008, the estimated mortality due to a combination of CVD and diabetes was put at 435·9/100 000 and 475·7/100 000 for males and females, respectively (11) .…”

Nutrition transition goes with industrialisation that fosters human development which is usually desirable, especially in developing nations. However, the health consequences of this development include high rates of preventable non-communicable diseases which are usually undermined in the quest for industrialisation. The goal of the present paper is to provide evidence-based information that will promote healthy lifestyle including healthy consumption pattern among urban dwellers. Relevant local and international literature was accessed and reviewed to harvest evidence-based information through the use of validated review guide in addition to observation from the field experience. Industrialisation promotes creation of more job opportunities and this facilitates proliferation of fast-food eateries in the cities. However, it was also observed that many of the available workplaces in urban areas are not health-promoting because employees have poor access to preventive health information and sensitisation to healthy lifestyle has been poorly considered. Ironically, weight gain among urban workers which may be linked with increased intake of high-energy foods and low participation in physical activities as a result of accessibility to many energy saving devices have been highlighted as some of the pull-pull factors that attract many people to the cities. Using the concept of health promoting workplace, the workforce in urban areas can be trained as agent of change in health-promoting lifestyle. Consumption of healthy indigenous foods through aggressive promotion of its health potentials should be seriously advocated through the use of existing structure of urban fast-food vendors who constitute a strong stakeholder in nutrition transition.

“…[1][2][3][4][5] The epidemiological transition impelling the developing world towards more non-communicable diseases, and especially cardiovascular disease, has been attributed to westernisation, reduced physical activity, obesity and the growing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. 1 Although the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is at present less than in the developed world, an enormous rise in the near future, and also that most of the increase will come from developing nations (especially Africa), has been predicted.…”
