Genomic and environmental risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases in Africa
There is an alarming tide of cardiovascular and metabolic disease (CMD) sweeping across Africa. This may be a result of an increasingly urbanized lifestyle characterized by the growing consumption of processed and calorie-dense food, combined with physical inactivity and more sedentary behaviour. While the link between lifestyle and public health has been extensively studied in Caucasian and African American populations, few studies have been con…
Determinants of body mass index by gender in the Dikgale Health and Demographic Surveillance System site, South Africa
BACKGROUND: The study was conducted in the Dikgale Health and Demographic Surveillance System (DHDSS) site where we have observed increasing obesity levels, particularly in women, despite evidence of high physical activity (PA) and a relatively low daily energy intake. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the socio-demographic, behavioural and biological determinants of body mass index (BMI) in adult residents permanently residing in the DHDSS. …
Regional and sex-specific variation in BMI distribution in four sub-Saharan African countries
BACKGROUND: African populations are characterised by diversity at many levels including: demographic history, genetic ancestry, language, wealth, socio-political landscape, culture and behaviour. Several of these have a profound impact on body fat mass. Obesity, a key risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, in the wake of the epidemiological and health transitions across the continent, requires detailed analysis together with other…
Spatial and temporal clustering of mortality in Digkale HDSS in rural northern South Africa
BACKGROUND: Mortality data are frequently presented at the overall population level, possibly obscuring small-scale variations over time and space and between different population sub-groups. OBJECTIVE: Analysis of mortality data from the Dikgale Health and Demographic Surveillance System, in rural South Africa, over the period 1996-2007, to identify local clustering of mortality among the eight villages in the observed population. DESIGN: Mortal…

Dietary intake and barriers to dietary compliance in black type 2 diabetic patients attending primary health-care services
Objective: To determine the dietary intake, practices, knowledge and barriers to dietary compliance of black South African type 2 diabetic patients attending primary health-care services in urban and rural areas. Design: A cross-sectional survey. Dietary intake was assessed by three 24-hour recalls, and knowledge and practices by means of a structured questionnaire ( n =133 men, 155 women). In-depth interviews were then conducted with 25 of the p…
