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…
O3-3.2 Low vitamin D status and risk of type 2 diabetes
Introduction Low vitamin D status has been associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes in cross-sectional studies. The evidence from prospective studies is limited. The aim was to examine the association between vitamin D status and risk of type 2 diabetes and markers of glucose homeostasis in a prospective cohort study. Methods The study is part of the INTER99 study, based on a random sample of the general population of Copenhagen, Denmark. T…
Familial predisposition and susceptibility to the effect of other risk factors for myocardial infarction
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To assess if familial predisposition to myocardial infarction (MI) is an indicator of increased susceptibility to the effect of other established risk factors. The study assessed whether a family history of MI modifies the effect of arterial blood pressure, plasma cholesterol, high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, % triglycerides, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, height, smoking habits, alcohol intake, physical activi…
Life expectancy in Danish women and men related to smoking habits
Studies reporting increased mortality in smokers are abundant but only a few have directly estimated survival prospects of smokers in terms of lost years of life or probability of living until retirement. None of these have included large numbers of heavily smoking women. A study of mortality in Danish women is particularly informative because the female smoking epidemic started early in Denmark and both prevalence of smoking and mortality from s…
Cardiovascular risk factor profile in subjects with familial predisposition to myocardial infarction in Denmark
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To identify possible modifiable mediators of familial predisposition to myocardial infarction (MI) by assessing the risk factor profile in individuals without MI in relation to parental occurrence of MI. DESIGN AND METHODS: Cross sectional survey of the general population. The odds of an adverse cardiovascular risk factor profile in subjects reporting parental occurrence of MI versus subjects not reporting parental occurrence we…
