Background: Physical activity reduces cardiovascular risk, partly via direct effects on the arterial wall. We hypothesized that vascular function responses would be modality-specific, sex-dependent, and express a high degree of heritability. Methods: We recruited 90...
Physical activity affects the vasculature through mechanisms related to nitric oxide bioavailability, oxidative stress, and inflammation; with endothelial function at the centre of this triad. In a South African setting, with the prevalence of hypertension and...
Few studies have examined risk-reducing interventions in spouses of coronary artery bypass patients. This study examined the effects of the Partners Together in Health (PaTH) intervention versus usual care on cardiovascular risk factors. Spouses in the experimental...
Background Lower levels of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) have been associated with increased cardiometabolic risk among children. However, little is known about the independent and combined associations of PA and SB as well as different types of...
