Background: Globally hypertension is stabilising, but in sub-Saharan Africa the incidence of hypertension remains on an
increase. Although this might be attributed to poor healthcare and ineffective antihypertensive ...
A health profile associated with excessive alcohol use independently predicts aortic stiffness over 10 years in black South Africans
(Wolters Kluwer, 2017)
Objective: Black populations exhibit higher arterial stiffness than whites and suffer a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular disease. It is therefore important to identify modifiable health behaviours predicting large ...
Evaluating several biomarkers as predictors of aortic stiffness in young and older Africans, not consuming alcohol based on self-report
(Elsevier, 2018)
Aims
Black populations from sub-Saharan Africa have a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease, which places significant strain on public health systems. Aortic stiffness is a prominent risk factor for cardiovascular ...
