Consumption of Monounsaturated Fatty Acids Is Associated with Improved Cardiometabolic Outcomes in Four African-Origin Populations Spanning the Epidemiologic Transition

Author: Mehta, Supal ; Ruth Dugas, Lara ; Choo-Kang, Candice ; Bovet, Pascal ; Forrester, Terrence ; Bedu-Addo, Kweku ; Lambert, Estelle Vicki ; Plange-Rhule, Jacob ; Riesen, Walter ; Korte, Wolfgang ; Luke, Amy Date: 16 Jul 2021 Long-chain omega-3 PUFAs, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are of increasing interest because of their favorable effect on cardiometabolic risk. This study explores the association between omega 6 and ... 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
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
