‘She mustn’t be the mother alone’: Motivators, barriers, and recommendations for men’s engagement with reproductive research in South Africa
There is a notable lack of engagement in reproductive and lifecourse research with and from men, with a disproportionate focus on women. While studies investigating the lack of men’s engagement with services exist, there is little evidence on their engagement with reproductive and lifecourse research. This article qualitatively examines men’s engagement in such research in the Bukhali trial in South Africa. Single, in-depth interviews were conduc…
Navigating relationship dynamics, pregnancy and fatherhood in the Bukhali trial: A qualitative study with men in Soweto, South Africa
These findings suggest that the complex array of factors influencing fatherhood in South Africa continue to play out in this generation, although promising changes are evident
Subjective social status is associated with happiness but not weight status or psychological distress: An analysis of three prospective birth cohorts from low- and middle-income countries
Subjective social status showed small but consistent associations with happiness in birth cohorts independent of life-course SEP
Context Matters—Child Growth within a Constrained Socio-Economic Environment
Communities in major cities in developing countries may experience economic vulnerability, which has detrimental consequences for maternal and child health. This study investigated individual-, household-, and community-level factors associated with child growth and resilience of early-grade learners aged 6 to 8 years. Demographic characteristics, depression scale, child wellbeing, and anthropometric measurements were collected on a sample of 162…
Adolescent growth and BMI and their associations with early childhood growth in an urban South African cohort
OBJECTIVES: The timing and magnitude of adolescent growth may be influenced by ethnicity and early life factors. We aimed to (a) characterize ethnic differences in the magnitude, timing, and intensity of adolescent growth in height, weight, and BMI; (b) assess the effect of early childhood growth on adolescent growth in black children. METHODS: Data were from the Birth to Twenty Plus cohort (Bt20+) in Johannesburg, South Africa (n = 3273). Height…
The prevalence of malnutrition and growth percentiles for urban South African children
The growth percentiles show that young South African urban black females are experiencing general but not central obesity due to a secular change which is faster in weight than height. High levels of undernutrition persist alongside high levels of over-nutrition with adolescence being a critical period for the upsurge in obesity in females. Early intervention is needed to combat the rise in obesity
Rural–urban variations in age at menarche, adult height, leg-length and abdominal adiposity in black South African women in transitioning South Africa
In black South African women, the earlier onset of puberty, and consequently an earlier growth cessation process, may lead to central fat mass accumulation in adulthood
Effect of ethnicity and sex on the growth of the axial and appendicular skeleton of children living in a developing country
Bones in the axial and appendicular skeletons exhibit heterogeneous growth patterns between different ethnic and sex groups. However, the influence of this differential growth on the expression of bone mineral content is not yet established. The aims of the present study were to investigate: 1) whether there are ethnic and sex differences in axial and appendicular dimensions of South African children; and 2) whether regional segment length is a b…
