The role of triglycerides and HDL in predicting insulin resistance in diabetic and non-diabetic young adults in Lephalale, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Insulin resistance (IR) drives early cardiometabolic risk in low-resource settings, yet gold-standard measures are impractical. We assessed routine lipids, triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and the TG/HDL-C ratio, as predictors of IR in 781 adults aged 20–29 years from the Ellisras Longitudinal Study (Lephalale, Limpopo). IR was defined as HOMA-IR ≥2.5. Participants were 51.8% female and 39.1% diabetic. Diabetic pa…
Using the Sitar Method to Estimate Age at Peak Height Velocity of Children in Rural South Africa
Various studies have been conducted on children using the Ellisras Longitudinal Study Survey in South Africa, but none of these has addressed growth variations of children in this rural location. The aim of this paper is to assess the age at peak height velocity using the superimposition by translation and rotation (SITAR) method for both boys and girls in rural South Africa. The study is part of the on-going Ellisras Longitudinal Study, and has …
Hypertension Prevalence and Determinants among Black South African Adults in Semi-Urban and Rural Areas
The burden of hypertension is reported to be on the rise in developing countries, such as South Africa, despite increased efforts to address it. Using a cross-sectional study design, we assessed and compared the prevalence of and risk factors associated with hypertension amongst adults aged ≥18 years in semi-urban and rural communities (1187 semi-urban and 1106 rural). Trained community health workers administered the INTERHEART Risk Score tool a…
Association between Blood Pressure and Birth Weight among Rural South African Children
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between birth weight, underweight, and blood pressure (BP) among Ellisras rural children aged between 5 and 15 years. Data were collected from 528 respondents who participated in the Ellisras Longitudinal Study (ELS) and had their birth weight recorded on their health clinic card. Standard procedure was used to measure the anthropometric measurements and BP. Linear regressio…
Somatotype and blood pressure of rural South African children aged 6–13 years
A significant association exists between BP and BMI, and ectomorphy components even after being adjusted for age, gender and height. The need to manage hypertensive individuals is evident in this sample to combat this chronic disease from an early age. Follow-up studies should investigate the relationship between BP and the dietary intake of these children
