The Composition of a Child's Physical Activity and Their Cardio-Metabolic Health
… was independently associated with selected cardio-metabolic risk factors, and (2) estimate whether replacing time in one domain of physical activity with time in another domain of physical activity was associated with changes in cardio-metabolic risk factors. Methods: 385 children aged 10-13 …

Impact of Prolonged Sitting on Cognitive Function: Implications for Cardio-metabolic Risk
… function, cerebral perfusion, and central cardiovascular hemodynamics; and secondly, to test whether weight or physical activity status alters this response. <strong>Methods:</strong> Participants (N=20, age=26±7; BMI=30±7 kg/m<sup>2</sup>; 7 female) were taken through 3 hrs of sitting …

Dairy products and cardio-metabolic health: aspects from nutritional, molecular and genetic epidemiology
… in the link between types of dairy products and cardio-metabolic health, but inconsistent findings limit the field. In my PhD project, I undertook an epidemiological investigation comprising inter-related but distinct themes evaluating aspects of nutritional, molecular and genetic epidemiology to …

Cardio-metabolic and neuromuscular adaptations following whole-body eccentric resistance training in older adults
… (ECC-RT) is an effective modality to produce cardio-metabolic and neuromuscular benefits for older adults. The present study tested the hypothesis that ECC-RT of several major muscle groups would produce positive changes in cardio-metabolic and neuromuscular parameters in older adults with …

Association of dietary and phosphatidylcholine supplement intake with cardio-metabolic biomarkers among normo- and hyperlipidaemic individuals
… and is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease. Phosphatidylcholine is a component of cellular membranes and plays a vital role in lipoprotein metabolism. Many studies have investigated the effects of phosphatidylcholine on lipid profiles; however, results have been …

INTRODUCTION OF A NOVEL HOME-BASED HIGH-INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING PROGRAMME TO IMPROVE CARDIO-METABOLIC HEALTH IN AT-RISK INDIVIDUALS
… to combat the rising rates of obesity and metabolic disease. The aim of this thesis was to provide evidence that practical high-intensity interval training (HIT) strategies can remove many of the major exercise barriers for obese individuals and people with type 1 diabetes that could …

Determinants of body composition changes over 5.5 years and the associated cardio-metabolic risk factors in free-living black South African women
… the determinants of obesity and the associated cardio-metabolic risk factors in black SA women. The overall aim of this thesis was to examine the determinants of the changes in body composition and the associations with cardio-metabolic risk factors over a 5.5-year follow-up period in a cohort …

Investigating the Relationship between Markers of Ageing and Cardiometabolic Disease
Human ageing is accompanied by characteristic metabolic and endocrine changes, including altered hormone profiles, insulin resistance and deterioration of skeletal muscle. Obesity and diabetes may themselves drive an accelerated ageing phenotype. Untangling the causal web between ageing, obesity …

Determining the prevalence and optimising the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in people living with HIV
… therapy (ART) leading to longevity, cardio-metabolic diseases are emerging health concerns in people living with HIV. This thesis aims to 1) to quantify the burden of metabolic syndrome (MS), which is a constellation of cardio-metabolic risk factors, in people living with HIV …

Dietary bioactives and cardiovascular health
… the efficacy of dietary bioactive compounds on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk markers in adults with mildly elevated blood pressure (BP) through the implementation of two human dietary intervention studies: the Cardio-Rubus (blackberry-polyphenols) and Cardio-Protein (ovalbumin-derived …

Sedentary Behaviour and Health among Young People
… volume, and patterns of sedentary behaviour with cardio-metabolic risk factors in a sample of children and adolescents. Television viewing predicted cardio-metabolic risk factors independent of moderate-to vigorous-intensity physical activity. No associations were observed for the other sedentary …

Microvascular endothelial function in a multi-ethnic group of apparently healthy South African men and women: Implications for testing and the relationship between insulin resistance and microvascular reactivity
Endothelial dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors and precedes structural changes in the blood vessels that occur prior to clinical manifestations. Measuring ethnic differences in microvascular endothelial function will provide insight into the disparate …

Genetic Variations in Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease: A Focus on Gene-Lifestyle Interactions and Mendelian Randomization
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are highly prevalent complex diseases that result from lifestyle and genetic factors. Gene-lifestyle interactions are also believed to contribute to the etiology of these diseases. The aim of this thesis was to investigate gene-lifestyle …

Ethnic specific associations between body composition and metabolic risk and the role of sex hormones and aromatase among black and white South African women
… relationship between body fat distribution and metabolic risk between black and white women. However, the reasons for these differences are not known and may be explained in part by differences in sex hormones. The overall aim of this thesis was therefore to i) examine ethnic-specific …

Immunological, vascular and metabolic actions of androgens
Men have higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) but lower risk of autoimmune disorders than women. The actions of sex steroids may be involved in the sexual dimorphism of these diseases. Although testosterone, the main androgen, seems to protect against autoimmunity, its role in CVD is …

Caratterizzazione cardio metabolica di atleti in età evolutiva e confronto tra èlite e non èlite
The aim of this study was to compare the cardio metabolic responses in young athletes highlighting any differences between the categories elite and non-elite. Furthermore, we wanted to create a database of references for these categories of athletes, given the very poor and outdated present …

Vascular and metabolic profile of 5-year sustained hypertensive versus normotensive black South Africans
… arterial distensibility, increases the risk for cardiovascular events, including stroke and heart failure, as it increases the afterload on the heart, as well as creating a higher pulsatile load on the microcirculation. The stiffness of the carotid artery is associated with cardiovascular events, …
