  • Using multiple correspondence analysis to identify behaviour patterns associated with overweight and obesity in Vanuatu adults

    Open AccessAndrew Van Horn, Charles A Weitz et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2019

    Objective The present study evaluates the use of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), a type of exploratory factor analysis designed to reduce the dimensionality of large categorical data sets, in identifying behaviours associated with measures of overweight/obesity in Vanuatu, a rapidly modernizing Pacific Island country. Design Starting with seventy-three true/false questions regarding a variety of behaviours, MCA identified twelve most sign…

  • Coming to grips with economic development: Variation in adult hand grip strength during health transition in Vanuatu

    Open AccessKathryn M Olszowy, Michael A Little et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2018Cited by: 1References: 34

    OBJECTIVES: To determine whether (1) maximal handgrip strength (HGS) is associated with inter-island level of economic development in Vanuatu, (2) how associations between island of residence and HGS are mediated by age, sex, body size/composition, and individual sociodeomographic variation, and (3) whether HGS is predictive of hypertension. MATERIAL AND METHODS: HGS was collected from 833 adult (aged 18 and older) men and women on five islands r…

  • Ownership of consumer electronics is associated with measures of adiposity during health transition in Vanuatu

    Open AccessCheng Sun, Alysa Pomer et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2017

    OBJECTIVE: The Republic of Vanuatu, like many developing nations, is undergoing a rapid health transition. Our previous study identified several behavioral risk factors for the rising prevalence of obesity. Unexpectedly, daily time spent using television and radio was revealed as a protective factor for obesity in 2007. In this study, we sought to explore associations between ownership of consumer electronics (CE) and measures of adiposity in Van…

  • Secular change in adult stature associated with modernization in Vanuatu

    Open AccessKathryn M Olszowy, Cheng Sun et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2017

    OBJECTIVE: To determine whether: (1) there is a secular increase in adult stature in Vanuatu, and (2) whether adult stature is positively associated with modernization in Vanuatu. METHODS: This study reports on stature measurements collected on 650 adult (age > 17 years) men and women from four islands of varying economic development in Vanuatu. Measurements were collected as part of the Vanuatu Health Transitions Research Project in 2007 and 201…

  • Impact of modernization on adult body composition on five islands of varying economic development in vanuatu

    Open AccessKathryn M Olszowy, Alysa Pomer et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2015

    OBJECTIVE: The Republic of Vanuatu, similar to other South Pacific island nations, is undergoing a rapid health transition as a consequence of modernization. The pace of modernization is uneven across Vanuatu's 63 inhabited islands, resulting in differential impacts on overall body composition and prevalence of obesity among islands, and between men and women. In this study, we investigated (1) how modernization impacts body composition between a…
