The Association Between HIV Testing Modality and Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Selected Provinces of South Africa
Despite South Africa being the epicentre of HIV, some progress was made in the fight against HIV, i.e., the implementation of HIV programmes, provision of antiretroviral therapy (ART), etc. However, little is known about the association between HIV testing modalities and ART initiation. This study aimed to determine the association between HIV testing modalities and ART initiation among men who have sex with men (MSM) in selected provinces of Sou…
Impact of Covid-19 on the HIV Treatment Outcomes Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in South Africa After the Implementation of a Differentiated Service Delivery Model: An Interrupted Time Series Analysi…
The impacts of COVID-19 among men who have sex with men (MSM), who face limited access to HIV services due to stigma, discrimination, and violence, need to be assessed and quantified in terms of HIV treatment outcomes for future pandemic preparedness. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on the HIV treatment cascade among MSM in selected provinces of South Africa using routine programme data after the implementation o…
An Assessment of the Relationship between Anthropometric Parameters and Blood Pressure among Polokwane Private School Children
High blood pressure (HBP) among children and adolescents has been associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases later in life. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between body composition and blood pressure among Polokwane private school children. Mean body fat % was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in girls (23.74) than the boys (16.77). There was a significant (P < 0.05) association between systolic blood pressure …
The Relationship between Low 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Cardio-Metabolic Risk Factors among Ellisras Young Adults
Introduction: 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is found in circulating blood and is regarded as an estimate of vitamin D status. Low circulating 25(OH)D levels are associated with a high body mass index (BMI), increased weight and the increased development of adipose tissue. This study aimed to determine the relationship between low 25(OH)D and cardio-metabolic risk factors among Ellisras young adults. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectiona…
The Relationship between Binge Drinking and Metabolic Syndrome Components amongst Young Adults Aged 21 to 31 Years: Ellisras Longitudinal Study
Binge drinking was significantly associated with lower levels of HDL-C. Future studies should investigate the relationship between alcohol abuse and the components of incident MetS in this population
Anthropometric indices for predicting cardiovascular risk factors: Ellisras longitudinal study
The central obesity indices, WC and WHtR, are better predictors of dyslipedemia and hypercholesterolemia, whereas BMI was a better predictor of hypertension among young adults living in rural South Africa between the ages of 18 and 29 years
Association between Blood Pressure and Birth Weight among Rural South African Children: Ellisras Longitudinal Study
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…
