Obesity-Related Metabolic Syndrome: Investigations into Novel Clinical Markers and Possible Causes
Obesity-related metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases risks for degenerative cardiovascular disease (CVD), and has become widespread. Efforts to stem the increase of obesity are inadequate. New approaches to the problem may be required. Novel CVD Risk and Prediction Markers were investigated for use …

Depression and metabolic syndrome across epidemiological transition
Background: Depression and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are growing global health concerns, but limited research focuses on African-origin populations. This study investigates the association between MetS and depression among individuals in Ghana, South Africa (SA), Jamaica, Seychelles, and the United …

Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: From Genome Wide Linkage Scan and Candidate Genes to Genome Wide Association Studies
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are major health problems associated with cardiovascular disease. Both diseases are influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this thesis was to identify genetic risk factors for T2D, particularly T2D associated …
