STUDY OBJECTIVES
- To estimate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and associated cardiometabolic and infectious risk factors in this population
- To provide aetiological insights into the variation in cardiometabolic and infectious risk factors in adults using both population genetic and
The increasing rate of obesity in youth has reached epidemic proportion in the United States. African Americans share an overwhelming burden of this disorder and its complications.1 Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in black girls and women2 and is associated with insulin resistance in populations
1. To assess the impact of exercise on biomarkers related to obesity, insulin-related pathways, inflammation, hormones, and microRNAs.
2. The primary aim of this study is to compare the effect of 2 types of exercise interventions (supervised and self-directed compared to control) on biological
The specific hypothesis of this proposal is that the combination of Valsartan/Aliskiren will provide incremental reduction in blood pressure when compared to traditional blockade of Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS) with ramipril. As an exploratory analysis, we propose that the blood
It is generally accepted that type 2 diabetes (T2D) arises from the progression of insulin resistance (IR), with hyperinsulinemia (HI) as a compensatory response. The possibility that HI can precede and contribute to insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome (MS) has been suggested but not
The postprandial state is a proinflammatory and proatherogenic condition. Increasing evidence support the contention the elevated triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins (TGRL) are atherogenic. Hypertriglyceridemia is a characteristic of the metabolic complications during human immunodeficiency
African-American women experience disproportionately high rates of conditions related to insulin resistance, specifically type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In Africa, T2D and CVD have also become leading causes of death for women. Early recognition of risk and the
This study is designed to investigate in blacks the relationship of risk for diabetes and heart disease from obesity plasma glucose and triglyceride concentrations and the triglyceride related risk factors of small dense low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and central
African Americans have a higher prevalence of vascular disease than Caucasians. Vascular disease can lead to heart attacks, strokes and even amputations. Insulin, a hormone which is secreted by the pancreas, affects not only glucose and fat metabolism but also vascular disease. Impairment of insulin
The project is designed to achieve five specific aims: (1) To determine the feasibility of attracting African Americans into Health Promotion Research studies;(2) To determine whether clinically recorded information can be used as a guide for recruitment inclusion in Health Promotion Studies from an
BACKGROUND:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and disability in postmenopausal women. Menopause alters serum lipids and lipoproteins to produce a more atherogenic lipid profile that may contribute significantly to the increased risk for the development of CVD over
The overall nature of this study is to conduct an investigation into the metabolic effects of acute high fructose versus high glucose feeding in people of Black African (BA) compared to age and BMI-matched control subjects of White-European (WE) origin . The research question of our study is: do
This study is a feasibility trial with an embedded process evaluation of the HEAL-D intervention compared with usual care. The study will use a randomised controlled trial (RCT) design, with individual patients as the unit of randomisation, evaluating the HEAL-D programme against usual care. The RCT
