Background Limited longitudinal data exist on chronic kidney disease (CKD) in African populations undergoing epidemiological transitions. We investigated incidence, long-term predictors and progression of CKD among Ghanaians residing Ghana Ghanaian migrants the Netherlands (Amsterdam). Methods findings analysed from 2183 participants transcontinental population-based prospective Research Obesity Diabetes Migrants cohort, followed for approximately 7 years. incidence its to end-stage (ESKD)...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are known to begin early in life, but limited data on the relationship of obesity and hypertension with other CVD factors, such as endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, chronic low-grade inflammation is available children. In this cross-sectional study involving 6-9 years old school children aged from Eastern Cape Province South Africa between obesity/hypertension for CVDs was investigated. General anthropometric parameters were measured,...
Monitoring of children at heightened risk cardio–metabolic diseases raises the need for accurate assessment obesity. A standardized approach measuring subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) by bright-mode ultrasound was evaluated in relation to body indices and anthropometry a cross-sectional sample 76 South African (7–10 years) 86 adolescents (13–17 assess risk. SAT higher girls as compared boys (children: 50.0 ± 21.7 mm > 34.42 15.8 mm, adolescents: 140.9 59.4 79.5 75.6 p < 0.001) up four...
The assessment of obesity in sub-Saharan Africa relies on cut-offs established from western populations. This study assessed anthropometric indices to determine optimal cut-off values for screening the South African adolescent population. A cross-sectional involving 1144 (796 females and 348 males) adolescents aged 11-17 years Eastern Cape Province was conducted. Anthropometric parameters were measured. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis performed assess sensitivity specificity...
Abstract Background Limited longitudinal data exist on chronic kidney disease (CKD) in African populations undergoing epidemiological transitions. We investigated incidence, long-term predictors, and progression of CKD among Ghanaians residing rural- urban-Ghana, Ghanaian migrants the Netherlands (Amsterdam). Methods analysed from 2183 participants transcontinental population-based prospective RODAM-cohort, followed for approximately seven years. incidence its to end-stage renal (ESRD) were...
although studies have shown a relationship between albuminuria and oxidative stress in adults, limited information on the subject is available children. The aim of this study was to assess South African children ancestry.a cross-sectional involving 6-9 years old randomly selected rural urban schools Eastern Cape Province Africa conducted. Anthropometric measurements were done urine samples collected for determination titres albumin, creatinine, 8-hydroxy-2-deoxy-guanosine (8-OHdG)...
