A comparison of indices of glucose metabolism in five black populations: data from modeling the epidemiologic transition study (METS)

Author: Atiase, Yacoba ; Farni, Kathryn ; Plange-Rhule, Jacob ; Luke, Amy ; Bovet, Pascal ; Forrester, Terrence G ; Lambert, Vicki ; Levitt, Naomi S ; Kliethermes, Stephanie ; Cao, Guichan ; Durazo-Arvizu, Ramon A ; Cooper, Richard S ; Dugas, Lara R Date: 15 Sep 2015 Background: Globally, Africans and African Americans experience a disproportionate burden of type 2 diabetes, compared to other race and ethnic groups. The aim of the study was to examine the association of plasma glucose with indices of ... Read more c b
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
Association of variants at BCL11A and HBS1L-MYB with hemoglobin F and hospitalization rates among sickle cell patients in Cameroon

Author: Wonkam, Ambroise ; Bitoungui, Valentina J Ngo ; Vorster, Anna A ; Ramesar, Raj ; Cooper, Richard S ; Tayo, Bamidele ; Lettre, Guillaume ; Ngogang, Jeanne Date: 2014 BACKGROUND: Genetic variation at loci influencing adult levels of HbF have been shown to modify the clinical course of sickle cell disease (SCD). Data on this important aspect of SCD have not yet been reported from West Africa. We investigated ... 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
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
