  • Sars-CoV-2 seroepidemiology in Cape Town, South Africa, and implications for future outbreaks in low-income communities

    Open AccessHannah Hussey, Helena Vreede et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In low- and middle-income countries where SARS-CoV-2 testing is limited, seroprevalence studies can help describe and characterise the extent of the pandemic, as well as elucidate protection conferred by prior exposure. We conducted repeated cross-sectional serosurveys (July 2020 –November 2021) using residual samples from patients from Cape Town, South Africa, sent for routine laboratory studies for non-COVID-19 conditions. SARS-CoV-2 anti-nucle…

  • Multimorbidity patterns in South Africa

    Open AccessRifqah Abeeda Roomaney, Brian Van Wyk et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: South Africa has the largest burden of HIV worldwide and has a growing burden of non-communicable diseases; the combination of which may lead to diseases clustering in ways that are not seen in other regions. This study sought to identify common disease classes and sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with each disease class. Methods: Data were analyzed from the South African Demographic and Health Survey 2016. A latent…

  • Multimorbidity Patterns in a National HIV Survey of South African Youth and Adults

    Open AccessRifqah Abeeda Roomaney, A E Van Luik et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    As the South African population continues to age, the prevalence of multimorbidity is likely to increase which will further impact the health care system. The prevalence of multimorbidity in the population was relatively low but reached up to 20% in the oldest age groups. The largest disease cluster was the combination of diabetes and hypertension; followed by HIV and hypertension. The gains in improving adherence to antiretrovirals amongst treat…

  • Predictors of silicosis and variation in prevalence across mines among employed gold miners in South Africa

    Open AccessD H Knight, Rodney Ehrlich et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    In surveillance of silicosis in working gold miners time since first exposure remains a powerful predictor. Age appears to be an independent predictor, while the detection of radiological silicosis in short-service miners requires attention. Public risk reporting by mines should include factors bearing on silicosis prevalence, specifically dust concentrations, with independent verification. Studies of silicosis and tuberculosis in ex-miners are n…

  • Analysing the socioeconomic determinants of hypertension in South Africa

    Open AccessAnnibale Cois, Rodney EhrlichARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    In countries undergoing epidemiological transition, effects of socioeconomic status on blood pressure may vary by gender. In women, factors other than those listed above may have substantial role in mediating the association and merit investigation

  • Problem drinking as a risk factor for tuberculosis

    Open AccessAnnibale Cois, Rodney EhrlichARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    In a cross-sectional national survey of the adult population of a middle income country with high tuberculosis burden, problem drinking was associated with a two fold increase in the odds of past TB diagnosis after controlling for a large number of socio-economic and biological confounders. Within the limitations of a cross-sectional study design with self-reported tuberculosis status, these results adds to previous evidence of a causal link betw…
