An anthropometrical related lower body explosive power (LBEP) prediction model among a cohort of adolescents in the North West Province, South Africa: the PAHL study
(Sabinet, 2015)In the prediction of lower body explosive power (LBEP), very few researchers have investigated the possibility of making use of anthropometric variables to compile prediction models. Therefore the purpose of this study was ... -

The relationship between indices of iron status and selected anthropometric cardiovascular disease risk markers in an African population: the THUSA study
(Clinics Cardive, 2011)There is evidence that certain indices of iron status are associated with anthropometric measures, which are used independently as markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study examined whether this association ... -
Structural vascular disease in Africans: performance of ethnic-specific waist circumference cut points using logistic regression and neural network analyses: the SABPA study
(Thieme, 2013)A recently proposed model for waist circumference cut points (RPWC), driven by increased blood pressure, was demonstrated in an African population. We therefore aimed to validate the RPWC by comparing the RPWC and the Joint ...
