C-reactive protein, cardiovascular risk, and renal disease in a remote Australian Aboriginal community.
Rates of cardiovascular and renal disease in Australian Aboriginal communities are high, but we do not know the contribution of inflammation to these diseases in this setting. In the present study, we sought to examine the distribution of C-reactive protein (CRP) and other markers of inflammation and their relationships with cardiovascular risk markers and renal disease in a remote Australian A...
متن کاملHomocysteine, renal disease and cardiovascular disease in a remote Australian Aboriginal community.
BACKGROUND Rates of renal and cardiovascular disease are high among Aboriginal Australians living in remote communities. Nutritional problems, in particular low folate levels, are also common. This suggests that increased homocysteine concentrations might be widespread, and a possible contributor to the high rates of cardiovascular disease. AIMS To examine homocysteine concentrations, and the...
متن کاملPrediction of cardiovascular disease risk using waist circumference among Aboriginals in a remote Australian community
BACKGROUND Elevated waist circumference (WC) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Aboriginals in Australia are at higher risk of CVD compared to non-Aboriginals. We examined the association between waist circumference and CVD, and developed a model for projecting absolute risk of cardiovascular disease using WC and age in one high risk Australian Aboriginal community. ...
متن کاملStrongyloides seroprevalence before and after an ivermectin mass drug administration in a remote Australian Aboriginal community
BACKGROUND Strongyloides seroprevalence is hyper-endemic in many Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, ranging from 35-60%. We report the impact on Strongyloides seroprevalence after two oral ivermectin mass drug administrations (MDAs) delivered 12 months apart in a remote Australian Aboriginal community. METHODS Utilizing a before and after study design, we measured S...
متن کاملPoint-of-care testing of HbA1c and blood glucose in a remote Aboriginal Australian community.
OBJECTIVES To assess the accuracy of point-of-care (POC) measurements of capillary blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA(1c)) levels in a remote Aboriginal community with high diabetes prevalence. DESIGN Cross-sectional study comparing POC capillary glucose and HbA(1c) results with those from corresponding venous samples measured in a reference laboratory. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING...
