Association of car ownership and physical activity across the spectrum of human development: Modeling the Epidemiologic Transition Study (METS)

Author: Shoham, David A ; Dugas, Lara R ; Bovet, Pascal ; Forrester, Terrence E ; Lambert, Estelle V ; Plange-Rhule, Jacob ; Schoeller, Dale A ; Brage, Soren ; Ekelund, Ulf ; Durazo-Arvizu, Ramon A ; Cooper, Richard S ; Luke, Amy Date: 21 Feb 2015 Background: Variations in physical activity (PA) across nations may be driven by socioeconomic position. As national incomes increase, car ownership becomes within reach of more individuals. This report characterizes associations between car ... Read more c b
Cardiovascular risk status of Afro-origin populations across the spectrum of economic development: findings from the Modeling the Epidemiologic Transition Study

Author: Dugas, Lara R ; Forrester, Terrence E ; Plange-Rhule, Jacob ; Bovet, Pascal ; Lambert, Estelle V ; Durazo-Arvizu, Ramon A ; Cao, Guichan ; Cooper, Richard S ; Khatib, Rasha ; Tonino, Laura ; Riesen, Walter ; Korte, Wolfgang ; Kliethermes, Stephanie ; Luke, Amy Date: 12 May 2017 Background: Cardiovascular risk factors are increasing in most developing countries. To date, however, very little standardized data has been collected on the primary risk factors across the spectrum of economic development. Data are particularly ... Read more
Comparisons of intensity-duration patterns of physical activity in the US, Jamaica and 3 African countries

Author: Dugas, Lara R ; Bovet, Pascal ; Forrester, Terrence E ; Lambert, Estelle V ; Plange-Rhule, Jacob ; Durazo-Arvizu, Ramon A ; Shoham, David ; Kroff, Jacolene ; Cao, Guichan ; Cooper, Richard S ; Brage, Soren ; Ekelund, Ulf ; Luke, Amy Date: 27 Aug 2014 Background: This difference in how populations living in low-, middle or upper-income countries accumulate daily PA, i.e. patterns and intensity, is an important part in addressing the global PA movement. We sought to characterize objective ... Read more c b
Gut microbiota, short chain fatty acids, and obesity across the epidemiologic transition: the METS-Microbiome study protocol

Author: Dugas, Lara R ; Lie, Louise ; Plange-Rhule, Jacob ; Bedu-Addo, Kweku ; Bovet, Pascal ; Lambert, Estelle V ; Forrester, Terrence E ; Luke, Amy ; Gilbert, Jack A ; Layden, Brian T Date: 06 Aug 2018 Background While some of the variance observed in adiposity and weight change within populations can be accounted for by traditional risk factors, a new factor, the gut microbiota, has recently been associated with obesity. ...

Independent association of resting energy expenditure with blood pressure: confirmation in populations of the African diaspora

Author: Creber, Chloe ; Cooper, Richard S ; Plange-Rhule, Jacob ; Bovet, Pascal ; Lambert, Estelle V ; Forrester, Terrence E ; Schoeller, Dale ; Riesen, Walter ; Korte, Wolfgang ; Cao, Guichan ; Luke, Amy ; Dugas, Lara R Date: 10 Jan 2018 Background: Obesity is a major risk factor for hypertension, however, the physiologic mechanisms linking increased adiposity to elevations in blood pressure are not well described. An increase in resting energy expenditure (REE) is an obligatory ... Read more
The social patterning of risk factors for noncommunicable diseases in five countries: evidence from the modeling the epidemiologic transition study (METS)

Author: Stringhini, Silvia ; Forrester, Terrence E ; Plange-Rhule, Jacob ; Lambert, Estelle V ; Viswanathan, Bharathi ; Riesen, Walter ; Korte, Wolfgang ; Levitt, Naomi ; Tong, Liping ; Dugas, Lara R ; Shoham, David ; Durazo-Arvizu, Ramon A ; Luke, Amy ; Bovet, Pascal Date: 09 Sep 2016 Background: Associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and risk factors for noncommunicable diseases (NCD-RFs) may differ in populations at different stages of the epidemiological transition. We assessed the social patterning of NCD-RFs ... Read more c b
