TL;DR: The optimal WC cut-point for identifying men at increased cardiometabolic risk is lower (⩾81.2 cm) than current guidelines recommend, and similar to that in women in SSA, and Prospective studies are needed to confirm these cut-points based on cardiometric outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overfatness, stunting and physical inactivity are determinants of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1activity, fibrinogen and thrombin-antithrombin complex in African adolescents.
TL;DR: Fibrinogen was significantly higher in girls than in boys, in overfat than in lean children and in stunted than in the nonstunted children (even after adjustment for fat percentage), and C-reactive protein, sex and height for age were predictors of fibrinogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight in grade 1-learners: The NW-CHILD Study
TL;DR: The prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight need improvement amongst school beginners, especially in Quintile 1–3 type schools but also amongst black learners living in the NWP of SA as it can have significant hampering effects on the future development and well-being of children.
Journal ArticleDOI
School environment, socioeconomic status and weight of children in Bloemfontein, South Africa.
TL;DR: A coexistence of underweight and overweight was found and gender and parental occupation were identified as being predictors of nutritional status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substitution of sedentary time with light physical activity is related to increased bone density in U.S. women over 50 years old. An iso-temporal substitution analysis based on the National health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

TL;DR: The substitution of 30 min of sedentary time with an equal amount of light physical activity appears a possible primary prevention method to reduce osteoporosis and related increases in risk of fracture, mortality, and health care costs in women over 50 years old.
