  • Variability in energy expenditure is much greater in males than females

    Open AccessL G Halsey, Vincent Careau et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Evolution2022Citada por: 3Referências: 76

    In mammals, trait variation is often reported to be greater among males than females. However, to date, mainly only morphological traits have been studied. Energy expenditure represents the metabolic costs of multiple physical, physiological, and behavioral traits. Energy expenditure could exhibit particularly high greater male variation through a cumulative effect if those traits mostly exhibit greater male variation, or a lack of greater male v…

  • The associations between alcohol intake and cardiometabolic risk in African-origin adults spanning the epidemiologic transition

    Open AccessDanny Baghdan, Lara R Dugas et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    While several CM risk factors were associated with alcohol consumption, the associations were inconsistent and varied widely across five international cohorts of African-origin. Future studies should focus on understanding the individual site-related effects

  • Gut microbiota, short chain fatty acids, and obesity across the epidemiologic transition

    Open AccessLara R Dugas, Louise Lie et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Registered NCT03378765 Date first posted: December 20, 2017

  • Cardiovascular risk status of Afro-origin populations across the spectrum of economic development

    Open AccessLara R Dugas, Terrence Forrester et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    These data provide a comprehensive estimate of cardiovascular risk across a range of countries at differing stages of social and economic development and demonstrate the heterogeneity in the character and degree of emerging cardiovascular risk. Severe hypercholesterolemia, as characteristic in the US and much of Western Europe at the onset of the coronary epidemic, is unlikely to be a feature of the cardiovascular risk profile in these countries …

  • The social patterning of risk factors for noncommunicable diseases in five countries

    Open AccessSilvia Stringhini, Terrence Forrester et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    In conclusion, the distribution of NCD-RFs was socially patterned in these populations at different stages of the epidemiological transition, but associations between SES and NCD-RFs differed substantially according to risk factor, population, sex, and SES indicator. These findings emphasize the need to assess and integrate the social patterning of NCD-RFs in NCD prevention and control programs in LMICs

  • Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology

    Open AccessThe Lifelines Cohort Study, Adam E Locke et al.ARTICLENature2015

  • Association of car ownership and physical activity across the spectrum of human development

    Open AccessDavid A Shoham, Lara R Dugas et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    PA levels are similar across all study sites except Jamaica, despite very different levels of socioeconomic development. Not owning a car in the US is associated with especially high levels of MVPA. As car ownership becomes prevalent in the developing world, strategies to promote alternative forms of active transit may become important

  • A mixed ecologic-cohort comparison of physical activity & weight among young adults from five populations of African origin

    Open AccessAmy Luke, Pierre Bovet et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    These analyses suggest that persons with greater adiposity tend to engage in less PA, although the associations are weak and the direction of causality cannot be inferred because measurements are cross-sectional. Longitudinal data will be required to elucidate direction of association

  • Comparisons of intensity-duration patterns of physical activity in the US, Jamaica and 3 African countries

    Open AccessLara R Dugas, Pierre Bovet et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    While there is some association for PA with obesity, this relationship is inconsistent across the epidemiologic transition and suggests that PA policy recommendations should be tailored for each environment

  • Protocol for the modeling the epidemiologic transition study

    Open AccessAmy Luke, Pierre Bovet et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    METS will provide insight on the relative contribution of physical activity and diet to excess weight, age-related weight gain and incident glucose impairment in five populations' samples of young adults at different stages of economic development. These data should be useful for the development of empirically-based public health policy aimed at the prevention of obesity and associated chronic diseases

  • Non-exercise Physical Activity in Agricultural and Urban People

    Open AccessJames A Levine, Shelly K McCrady et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2011Citada por: 1Referências: 32

    With evidence that urbanisation is associated with obesity, diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, this article compares daily physical activity between rural and urban dwellers. Specifically, it examines habitual daily activity levels, non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) and energy expenditure in agricultural and urban Jamaicans and urban North Americans. Ambulation was 60 per cent greater in rural Jamaicans than in the urban …

  • Rapid increases in obesity in Jamaica, compared to Nigeria and the United States

    Open AccessRamon Durazo-Arvizu, Ramon A Durazo-Arvizu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    Weight change in sample cohorts from a middle-income country was greater than in cohorts from either of the low- or high-income countries. The steep trajectory of weight gain in Jamaica, relative to Nigeria and the US, is most likely attributable to the accelerating effects of the cultural and behavioral shifts which have come to bear on transitional societies

  • Under- and overreporting of energy is related to obesity, lifestyle factors and food group intakes in Jamaican adults

    Open AccessMichelle A Mendez, Suzanne Wynter et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2004

    Objective: Research in industrialised countries has documented a high prevalence of underreported energy intakes associated with characteristics such as obesity. This paper examines the prevalence, patterns and impact of energy under- and overreporting on diet–obesity relationships in a middle-income developing country. Design: A 70-item food-frequency questionnaire was used. Underreporters had reported energy intakes 2.4 × BMR. Multinomial model…

  • Impaired glucose regulation in adults in Jamaica

    Open AccessLincoln A Sargeant, Michael S Boyne et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2004

    A few individuals classified as normal on FPG will have IGT or diabetes, and an OGTT will be needed to identify them. The yield of IGT detected by screening in Jamaica can be improved by lowering the threshold for IFG or by using clinical information to identify high-risk individuals

  • Reproducibility and validity of a quantitative food-frequency questionnaire among Jamaicans of African origin

    Open AccessMaria Jackson, Susan P Walker et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2001

    Background: An interviewer-administered quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was developed to determine the energy and nutrient intakes of adult Jamaicans of African origin as part of a study of the epidemiology of diabetes and hypertension. Methods: Reproducibility of the questionnaire was investigated in 123 participants aged 25–74 years. The relative validity of the FFQ was assessed against twelve 24-hour recalls administered over 1…

  • Habitual diet in four populations of African origin

    Open AccessLouise I Mennen, Louise Mennen et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2001

    Background: The prevalence of chronic diseases is increasing in West Africa, the Caribbean and its migrants to Britain. This trend may be due to the transition in the habitual diet, with increasing (saturated) fat and decreasing fruit and vegetable intakes, both within and between countries. Objective: We have tested this hypothesis by comparing habitual diet in four African-origin populations with a similar genetic background at different stages…

  • Management of diabetes mellitus in three settings in Jamaica

    Open AccessRainford Wilks, Rainford J Wilks et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2001

    The management of diabetes in Jamaica fell short of international guidelines. Our results also indicate the need to better sensitize health care professionals to these standards in order to reduce the burden of diabetes

  • Estimating African American Admixture Proportions by Use of Population-Specific Alleles

  • The prevalence of hypertension in seven populations of west African origin

    Richard Cooper, Charles N Rotimi et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1997Citada por: 34Referências: 38

    OBJECTIVES: This study was undertaken to describe the distribution of blood pressures, hypertension prevalence, and associated risk factors among seven populations of West African origin. METHODS: The rates of hypertension in West Africa (Nigeria and Cameroon), the Caribbean (Jamaica, St. Lucia, Barbados), and the United States (metropolitan Chicago, Illinois) were compared on the basis of a highly standardized collaborative protocol. After resea…
