The contribution of maternal glucose to birth weight is smaller in Uganda (sub-Saharan Africa) than in Afro-Caribbean or white ethnicity mother–child pairs from outside Africa
INTRODUCTION: Glucose is a major determinant of fetal growth, but its relative contribution in different ethnic groups or populations is not fully understood. The Hyperglycaemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) Study established a relationship between glucose and birth weight in multiple ethnic groups. However, the HAPO Study did not include any cohorts from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where 17% of the world population lives. This study aims to…
Brain MRI and cognitive function seven years after surviving an episode of severe acute malnutrition in a cohort of Malawian children
Objective To assess differences in cognition functions and gross brain structure in children seven years after an episode of severe acute malnutrition (SAM), compared with other Malawian children. Design Prospective longitudinal cohort assessing school grade achieved and results of five computer-based (CANTAB) tests, covering three cognitive domains. A subset underwent brain MRI scans which were reviewed using a standardized checklist of gross ab…
Patterns of adult body mass in sub-Saharan Africa
The burden of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular risk factors among adult Malawians in HIV care
Among patients in HIV care 26.6% had hypertension and/or diabetes. Close to two-thirds of hypertension diagnoses was stage I and of those few had an indication for antihypertensive pharmacotherapy. According to our criteria, 13.0% of HIV patients in care required drug treatment for hypertension and/or diabetes
