Accuracy of reporting food energy intake: Influence of ethnicity and body weight status in South African women

Author: Mchiza, Z J ; Goedecke, Julia ; Lambert, Estelle Date: 2010 The current study sought to identify characteristics that may be associated with the misreporting of food energy intake (EI) in urban South African women. A total of 198 women (61 black, 76 of mixed ancestry, 61 white) completed a quantified ... Read more
Depot differences in adipose tissue metabolism and function in obese black South African women and changes in response to an exercise training intervention

Author: Nono Nankam, Pamela Arielle Date: 2020 Black South African (SA) women are disproportionally affected by obesity and insulin resistance, which have been associated with depot-specific alterations in adipose tissue function. This thesis aimed to evaluate the differences in fatty ... Read more
Dietary fat modulates the relationship between polymorphisms in the TNFA and IL-6 genes, and obesity and serum lipid concentrations in black and white South Afican women

Author: Joffe, Yael Date: 2013 The primary aim of the thesis was to investigate associations between TNFA (TNFA-308 G>A and -238 G>A) and IL-6 (-174 G>C, IVS3+281 G>T, IVS4+869 A>G) sequence variants and obesity and serum lipid concentrations in black and white SA women. ... Read more
Effects of adipose tissue extracellular matrix components on body fat distribution and insulin sensitivity in black and white South African women

Author: Kotzé-Hörstmann, Liske Date: 2018 The global burden of non-communicable diseases (NCD’s) is unacceptably high and disproportionately affects developing countries such as South Africa (SA). Black SA women have a higher prevalence of obesity and a greater associated risk for ... Read more
Ethnic specific associations between body composition and metabolic risk and the role of sex hormones and aromatase among black and white South African women

Author: Tootla, Mehreen Date: 2015 Background: Previous evidence has demonstrated ethnic differences in the relationship between body fat distribution and metabolic risk between black and white women. However, the reasons for these differences are not known and may be explained ... Read more
Ethnic-specific associations between abdominal and gluteal fat distribution and the metabolic complications of obesity : implications for the use of liposuction

Author: Hayes, Philip Michael Date: 2011 More than three-quarters (77%) of the 40.5 million people living in South Africa are black African, of which more than 40% are urbanised. Black African women living in urban areas have a significantly higher prevalence (62%) of overweight ... Read more
Fasting substrate oxidation in relation to habitual dietary fat intake and insulin resistance in non-diabetic women: a case for metabolic flexibility?

Author: Carstens, Madelaine ; Goedecke, Julia ; Dugas, Lara ; Evans, Juliet ; Kroff, Jacolene ; Levitt, Naomi ; Lambert, Estelle Date: 2013 BACKGROUND: Metabolic flexibility described as "the capacity of the body to match fuel oxidation to fuel availability" has been implicated in insulin resistance. We examined fasting substrate oxidation in relation to dietary macronutrient ... Read more c b
The impact of body fat and its distribution on risk factors for cardiovascular disease in black South African women

Author: Jennings, Courtney L Date: 2008 Obesity and obesity-related diseases are a large global problem in both developed and developing nations. In South Africa, a country currently undergoing epidemiological transition, the prevalence of obesity is high, particularly in urban ... Read more
The impact of obesity and inflammation on metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type two diabetes in black and white South African women

Author: Evans, Juliet P Date: 2011 [T]he overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the ethnic-specific role of inflammation in obesity and related metabolic risk factors associated with T2DM and CVD in apparently healthy black and white premenopausal South African women. Read more
Intra-familial and ethnic effects on attitudinal and perceptual body image: a cohort of South African mother-daughter dyads

Author: Mchiza, Zandile ; Goedecke, Julia ; Lambert, Estelle Date: 2011 BACKGROUND: International studies suggest ethnic differences in obesity prevalence may be due, in part, to differences in body image and body size dissatisfaction between groups. Further, there is evidence to suggest that there is a familial ... Read more c b
The effect of an exercise intervention on insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion and insulin clearance in black obese South African women

Author: Fortuin-De Smidt, Melony Date: 2020 Introduction: Black African populations present with low insulin sensitivity (SI) and hyperinsulinemia, the latter due to high insulin secretion and reduced clearance. In addition, they exhibit lower levels of central and ectopic fat, compared ... Read more
The role of metabolic rate and substrate utilization in the maintenance of body weight, body composition and insulin sensitivity

Author: Clamp, Louise Diana Date: 2019 Obesity treatment requires approaches that target the reduction of body weight and fat mass. The improvement of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity also contribute towards reducing obesity-associated ... Read more
