Development of a Tool to Increase Physical Activity among People at Risk for Diabetes in Low-Resourced Communities in Cape Town
Targeted lifestyle interventions, including physical activity (PA), have been proven to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. South Africa's unique context, complex environment and varied cultures and ethnicities require tailored interventions. Our objective was to develop a context-appropriate tool for the South African Diabetes Prevention Programme's PA lifestyle component in order to enable people at risk of developing diabetes to adopt PA. …
Findings from Community-Based Screenings for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in at Risk Communities in Cape Town, South Africa: A Pilot Study
Completed and ongoing implementation activities globally advocate for community-based approaches to improve strategies for type 2 diabetes prevention. However, little is known about such strategies in the African region where there are higher relative increases in diabetes prevalence. We reported findings from the first 8-month pilot phase of the South African diabetes prevention program. The study was conducted across eight townships (four black…
Development and validation of a short questionnaire to assess sodium intake
Objectives To develop and validate a short food-frequency questionnaire to assess habitual dietary salt intake in South Africans and to allow classification of individuals according to intakes above or below the maximum recommended intake of 6 g salt day −1 . Design Cross-sectional validation study in 324 conveniently sampled men and women. Methods Repeated 24-hour urinary Na values and 24-hour dietary recalls were obtained on three occasions. Fo…
A food-based dietary strategy lowers blood pressure in a low socio-economic setting: A randomised study in South Africa
Objective To assess the impact of a food-based intervention on blood pressure (BP) in free-living South African men and women aged 50–75 years, with drug-treated mild-to-moderate hypertension. Methods A double-blind controlled trial was undertaken in eighty drug-treated mild-to-moderate hypertensive subjects randomised to an intervention ( n 40) or control ( n 40) arm. The intervention was 8-week provision of six food items with a modified cation…
