Abstract

Green tea consumption is gaining attention for its potential health benefits in various populations, including those in Africa. A comparative cross-sectional study design was employed with data collected through structured questionnaires administered to participants aged 60 years and older from both countries. Senegalese seniors showed higher rates of green tea consumption (75%) compared to Egyptian counterparts (45%), indicating a significant cultural and dietary difference. The study highlights the importance of understanding local health practices in diverse African contexts, particularly regarding the integration of traditional remedies into modern lifestyles. Further research should explore the specific nutritional benefits of green tea for Senegalese seniors to inform public health strategies.
