Prevalence of selected cardiometabolic risk factors among adults in urban and semi-urban hospitals in four sub-Saharan African countries
AIM Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a global challenge but the burden in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries is less well documented than elsewhere. We aimed to describe the key cardiometabolic risk factors in four SSA countries. METHODS A cross-sectional, multi-national, hospital-based study was carried out among adults (> 35 years) across four SSA countries from 12 December 2011 to 7 Feb...
متن کاملAldosterone & Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
886 The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is a dynamic hormonal system. The manner in which the RAAS responds to physiological provocations, such as dietary sodium modulation, characterizes RAAS physiology and abnormalities in RAAS regulation may be associated with cardiometabolic diseases. This is highlighted in the literature that links aldosterone, using single cross-sectional meas...
متن کاملWaist circumference predicts clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in older South Africans.
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN A cross-sectional analytical study to determine the cardiovascular risk factor profile of older residents of fishing villages on the West Coast of South Africa, and to determine which anthropometric measures are associated with risk factors. SUBJECTS A convenient community-based sample of 152 subjects of mixed ancestry aged 55 years and over was recruited door-to-door usi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Genome Wide Association Study Associated Type 2 Diabetes Susceptibility Loci in Sub Saharan Africans
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) for type 2 diabetes (T2D) undertaken in European and Asian ancestry populations have yielded dozens of robustly associated loci. However, the genomics of T2D remains largely understudied in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where rates of T2D are increasing dramatically and where the environmental background is quite different than in these previous studies. Here,...
متن کاملAcute coronary syndrome in young Sub-Saharan Africans: A prospective study of 21 cases
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of death in developed countries. In Africa, the disease continues to rise with varying rates of progression in different countries. At present, there is little available work on its juvenile forms. The objective of this work was to study the epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary aspects of acute coronary syndrome in young Sub-Saha...
