Testosterone and acute stress are associated with fibrinogen and Von Willebrand factor in African men: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2013)
Background: Low testosterone, acute and chronic stress and hypercoagulation are all associated with hypertension
and hypertension-related diseases. The interaction between these factors and future risk for coronary ...
Retinal vessel calibres and haemostasis in black and white South Africans: the SABPA study
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)
Objectives: Retinal arteriolar narrowing associates with hypertension development and indicates increased cardiovascular risk. Evidence on whether the retinal vessel "calibres are related to the haemostatic system is ...
Cornell product relates to albuminuria in hypertensive black adults independently of blood pressure: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2015)
Evidence of the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and urinary albumin excretion is contradictory and limited in black adults in whom hypertensive heart disease is common. We aimed to investigate the ...
Low testosterone and hyperkinetic blood pressure responses in a cohort of South African men: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
Hypertension (HT) and the metabolic syndrome are major problems in Africa. The role of sex hormones in the cardiovascular profile of black Africans in South Africa has not been studied. Our objective was to study the ...
The relationship of nitric oxide synthesis capacity, oxidative stress, and albumin-to-creatinine ratio in black and white men: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2016)
Inadequate substrate availability and increased
nitric oxide synthase inhibitor levels attenuate nitric oxide
(NO) synthesis, whereas increased vascular oxidative
stress may lead to inactivation of NO. We compared
markers ...
Sex hormones associated with subclinical kidney damage and atherosclerosis in South African men: the SABPA study
(Kluwer, 2012)
Background: Hypertension and increased blood glucose are associated with subclinical kidney damage, atherosclerosis and with low testosterone values. Low testosterone in men is often accompanied by increased levels of ...
Iron loading, alcohol and mortality: a prospective study
(Elsevier, 2019)
Background & aims
The relationship between total body iron and cardiovascular disease remains controversial and information absent in black sub-Saharan Africans in whom alcohol consumption tends to be high. The level of ...
Retinal vessel caliber and its relationship with nocturnal blood pressure dipping status: the SABPA study
(Springer Nature, 2016)
Adverse changes in retinal microvasculature caliber are associated with incident hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke. The absence of a nocturnal dipping in arterial pressure may induce changes throughout the ...
Carotid cross-sectional wall area is significantly associated with serum leptin levels, independent of body mass index: the SABPA studyent of body mass index: the SABPA study
(Japanese Society of HypertensionNature Publishing Group, 2012)
Hypertension and obesity are serious health burdens in sub-Saharan Africa. Urbanized Africans seem to be more susceptible to the development of these diseases than Caucasians. Current research suggests that leptin may be ...
Vitamin K dependent protection of renal function in multi-ethnic population studies
(Elsevier, 2016)
Background: Following activation by vitamin K (VK), matrix Gla protein (MGP) inhibits arterial calcification, but
its role in preserving renal function remains unknown.
Methods: In 1166white Flemish (mean age, 38.2 years) ...
