Cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity in Luo, Kamba, and Maasai of rural Kenya
BACKGROUND: Although habitual physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) and cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) are now well-established determinants of metabolic disease, there is scarcity of such data from Africa. The aim of this study was to describe objectively measured PAEE and CRF in different ethnic populations of rural Kenya. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was done among 1,099 rural Luo, Kamba, and Maasai of Kenya. Participants were 17-6…
Abdominal obesity has the highest impact on metabolic profile in an overweight African population
WC and VAT thickness were the strongest anthropometric predictors for the metabolic profile in overweight adult Kenyans. WC is useful in clinical practice for the diagnosis of metabolically unhealthy fat accumulation in an African setting
Dietary patterns, food and macronutrient intakes among adults in three ethnic groups in rural Kenya
Objective To compare dietary patterns and food and macronutrient intakes among adults in three ethnic groups in rural Kenya. Design In the present cross-sectional study, dietary intake was estimated in adult volunteers using two non-consecutive interactive 24 h recalls. Dietary patterns were assessed from the number of meals and snacks per day and from the food items and major food groups registered, and their contribution to energy intake (EI) w…
Obesity and regional fat distribution in Kenyan populations
Abdominal visceral and subcutaneous fat thickness was higher with urban residency. A high prevalence of overweight and obesity was found. The Maasai had the highest overall fat accumulation
