Prevalence and associated risk factors for elevated blood pressure in young adults in South Africa
No full textBackground: Sub-Saharan Africa has been shown to have a high prevalence of hypertension (58% in rural black South Africans) with an accelerated course ending in end-stage renal disease. We sought to determine whether the prevalence of elevated blood pressure (EBP) in early adulthood was associated with any risk factors and/or renal target-organ damage in young adulthood, which could prevent development of these cardiorenal sequelae.Methods: Data including risk factors for hypertension and markers of kidney damage were collected from young adults (n = 933; age 28 years; 52% female) participating in the Birth to Twenty Plus (BT20) cohort in Soweto, South Africa. Blood pressure was measured on one occasion.Results: Fifty-four per cent of the study sample had EBP with more men affected (62%) than women (47%) (p < 0.001). Body mass index (BMI), hyperuricaemia and albuminuria had significant associations with EBP in men. In women, BMI, hyperuricaemia and a self-reported history of gestational hypertension had significant associations.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the pathophysiology of EBP in young adults differs between the genders and highlights a number of modifiable factors in its development
The new utilitarians? Studies in the origins and early intellectual associations of Fabianism
Full text linkThis thesis concerns the intellectual origins and early
associations of Fabianism. It concentrates on the period of
the 1880's and early 1890's during which time the Fabian Society
was founded and its basic doctrines were formed. Its principals
are the small group of intellectuals who played the major role
in working out its basic theories.
The thesis is arranged as a series of studies of five
thinkers or schools of thought with whom the Fabians had
important intellectual associations. Each of the five studies
seeks both to supplement and supply a revision of the received
account of the formative influences and intellectual traditions
which shaped the development of Fabian Socialism. The importance
of Comte and the English Positivists, Marx, J. S. Mill and the
Utilitarians upon the formation of Fabian thought is a matter
of existing recognition, whereas the apparently paradoxical
influence of Herbert Spencer has been previously neglected, to
the detriment of a proper understanding of the early development
of Fabianism. A recognition of Spencer's importance requires
a reappraisal not a rejection of the generally received view of
the Fabians as the 'New Utilitarians.'
Fabian theory emerged out of a process of blending and
modifying the traditions of Radicalism, Positivism and Socialism.
The emergence of that theory was conditioned by the experience
of middle class intellectuals facing new social and economic
uncertainties in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
It is as intellectuals who see themselves as practical men that
the Fabians most clearly emerge as the 'New Utilitarians'

Early life factors and longitudinal blood pressure trajectories are associated with elevated blood pressure in early adulthood: BT20 Cohort
No full textMultiple perinatal and early life risk factors have been implicated in the development of hypertension. The BT20 (Birth to Twenty Plus) cohort in urban Soweto, South Africa, previously showed a prevalence of elevated blood pressure (EBP) that ranged from 22.4% at 5 years of age to 34.9% at 18 years of age. We sought to determine the prevalence of EBP at 23 years of age within this cohort and whether this could be linked to any maternal and early life factors and childhood and adolescent blood pressure trajectories. Blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were completed on cohort participants aged 23 years (n=1540; 49% men). Early life and maternal factors were obtained from previous data. Thirty-six percent of participants had EBP of whom 63% were men (P<0.001). The only association with maternal or early life factors was greater linear growth from birth to 2 years of age, which conferred a 19% increased risk (odds ratio, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.01–1.41). Women had a 77% lower risk of EBP (odds ratio, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.16–0.34) per SD. Participants within the highest systolic and diastolic blood pressure trajectories (where blood pressure was elevated early and remained elevated) were at significantly increased risk of EBP in early adulthood. For those in the highest systolic trajectory, this resulted in a 4-fold increased risk and for those in the highest diastolic trajectory, a 5-fold increased risk. These findings suggest that risk for EBP in adulthood may be set in childhood and adolescence
