Individuals with diabetes were twice as likely to have hypertension, 7.0 times more likely to be aware, 3.3 times more likely to be on antihypertensive medication, and 2.4 times more likely to be controlled on medication. Women and individuals reporting lower salt use were more likely to be aware and treated for hypertension. Applying the 2017 AHA/ACC hypertension guidelines showed only 1 in 4 adults had normal BP. As with HIV, similarly intensive efforts are now needed in the region to improve non-communicable disease diagnosis and management.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:59:16 AEDT ]]> Asset-based and citizen-led

Africa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20739 0.1). Males and females consuming green leafy vegetables 5-7 days/wk had 38% (P = 0.04) and 50% (P = 0.007) reduced odds of developing EC, respectively, compared with consumption ≤1 day/wk. A similar reduction in odds was observed with fruit consumption. Principal component factor analysis revealed 3 distinct dietary patterns. In females, high vs. low consumption of Pattern 1 (sorghum, green leafy vegetables, green legumes, fruits, meat) was inversely associated with EC development (OR = 0.54; 95% CI: 0.34-0.89), whereas for Pattern 2 (maize, wild greens-imifino, dry beans) the odds were elevated (OR = 1.67; 95% CI: 1.04-2.67). Compared with low adherence, high adherence to Pattern 3 (wheat-based products) reduced the odds by 35% for both sexes. This study provides further evidence on the role of diet in minimizing EC risk in this population.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:00:23 AEDT ]]> Prevalence of HIV and chronic comorbidities among older adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:21760 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:07 AEDT ]]> Guest editorial (International Journal of Social Welfare) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:5685 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:48:39 AEDT ]]> South Africa: impact of HIV/AIDS on food demand https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:6523 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:45:48 AEDT ]]> Prevalence, circumstances and consequences of non-fatal road traffic injuries and other bodily injuries among older people in China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia and South Africa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:25685 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:23 AEDT ]]> Psychiatry, mental institutions, and the mad in apartheid South Africa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:23186 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:29 AEDT ]]> The incidence of bilharzia in the Durban area https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:34147 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:17:28 AEST ]]> Some medical aspects of bilharzia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:34160 Mon 23 Sep 2019 11:49:56 AEST ]]> The pathology of ureteric bilharziasis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:34146 S. haematobium.

A cross-sectional analysis from the WHO-SAGE Wave 2 Salt & Tobacco study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35027 9 g/day. Results: Median daily sodium excretion was equivalent to 6.3 g salt/day (range 1–43 g/day); 35% had urinary sodium excretion values within the desirable range (<5 g salt/day), 37% had high values (5–9 g salt/day) and 28% had very high values (>9 g salt/day). Median UIC was 130 µg/L (IQR=58–202), indicating population iodine sufficiency (≥100 µg/L). Both UIC and UIE differed across salt intake categories (p<0.001) and were positively correlated with estimated salt intake (r=0.166 and 0.552, respectively; both p<0.001). Participants with salt intakes of <5 g/day were not meeting the Estimated Average Requirement for iodine intake (95 µg/day). Conclusions: In a nationally representative sample of South African adults, the association between indicators of population iodine status (UIC and UIE) and salt intake, estimated using 24-hour urinary sodium excretion, indicate that low salt intakes may compromise adequacy of iodine intakes in a country with mandatory iodisation of table salt. The iodine status of populations undergoing salt reduction strategies needs to be closely monitored to prevent re-emergence of iodine deficiency.]]> Mon 03 Jun 2019 14:03:50 AEST ]]> Including older adults in development goals: is subjective wellbeing the answer?

There was no statistically significant difference in titers between groups: geometric difference in mean titers 1.13 mIU mL-1 (95% CI 0.85, 1.51; P = 0.39) and 1.38 mIU mL-1 (95% CI 0.90, 2.11, P = 0.14) for unadjusted and adjusted analyses, respectively. This study demonstrated that a sun protection intervention study could be performed in a developing-world pediatric vaccination setting. Although the sun protection intervention around the time of vaccination was not associated with a higher antibody level, given the potential importance of such an effect, a larger study should be considered.]]> Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:35:33 AEDT ]]> Tobacco and alcohol as risk factors for oesophageal cancer in a high incidence area in South Africa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:24595 14 g of tobacco per day were observed to have over 4-times the odds of developing OC (males OR = 4.36, 95% CI 2.24-8.48; females OR = 4.56, 95% CI 1.46-14.30), with pipe smoking showing the strongest effect. Similar trends were observed for the alcohol-related variables. The quantity of ethanol consumed was the most important factor in OC development rather than any individual type of alcoholic beverage, especially in smokers. Males and females consuming >53 g of ethanol per day had approximately 5-times greater odds in comparison to non-drinkers (males OR = 4.72, 95% CI 2.64-8.41; females OR = 5.24, 95% CI 3.34-8.23) and 8.5 greater odds in those who smoked >14 g tobacco daily. The attributable fractions for smoking and alcohol consumption were 58% and 48% respectively, 64% for both factors combined. Conclusion: Tobacco and alcohol use are major risk factors for OC development in this region. Impact: This study provides evidence for further reinforcement of cessation of smoking and alcohol consumption to curb OC development.]]> Fri 01 Apr 2022 09:30:03 AEDT ]]>
