Baroreceptor sensitivity, cardiovascular responses and ECG left ventricular hypertrophy in men: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)Aim. Research has shown a significant relationship between hypertension and attenuated baroreceptor sensitivity (BRS), which in turn reflects alterations of autonomic control of the cardiovascular system. The objective of ... -
Determining cut-off values for neck circumference as a measure of the metabolic syndrome amongst a South African cohort: the SABPA study
(Springer-Science, 2012)The aim was to determine receiver operating characteristic (ROC) neck circumference (NC) cut offs best associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a South African cohort. We included 409 urban Africans and Caucasians ... -
Differences in MetS marker prevalence between black African and Caucasian teachers from the North West Province: Sympathetic activity and ambulatory blood pressure in Africans (SABPA) study
(Medpharm, 2011)Background: The aim of this study was to compare metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence between black and Caucasian Africans using different definitions, and secondly, to determine the association between MetS, anthropometric ... -
Examining waist and neck circumferences as screening tools for metabolic syndrome in a sub-Saharan Caucasian cohort at three year follow-up: the SABPA prospective cohort
(MedPharm Publications, 2014)Objectives: Waist circumference (WC) cut-off points specific to sub-Saharan Caucasians do not exist with which to identify metabolic syndrome. Neck circumference (NC), as an additional measure, was previously found to be ... -
Exploring soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor and its relationship with arterial stiffness in a bi–ethnic population: the SAfrEIC–study
(Elsevier, 2012)Introduction: Elevated soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) indicates an inflammatory state caused by conditions such as HIV and cancer. Recently suPARwas identified as an indicator of ... -
Extracellular matrix biomarker, Fibulin–1 and Its association with Soluble uPAR in a Bi-ethnic South African population: the SAfrEIC study
(Elsevier, 2015)Background Fibulin-1 and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) emerged as mediators in the development of sclerotic disease. SuPAR along with C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin delineate ... -
Nocturnal blood pressure, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol and carotidIntima-media thickness: the SABPA Study
(Elsevier, 2013)Background: Research demonstrated a significant relationship between elevated nocturnal blood pressure and sym-pathetic hyperactivity. The study aimed to investigate possible associations between norepinephrine ... -
