Abstract:

This paper describes some of the current health problems faced by a tropical country whose standard of living and lifestyle is approaching that of many countries in Western Europe. Long-term health problems such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes have become at least as important as infectious diseases. A change in approach to a more proactive style of primary care is needed to allow the contribution of community doctors to be effective. The system of primary care in the Republic of Seychelles is based on the UK model of general practice where recent improvements in education and organiza

Abstract:

ObjectivesGiven the increasing prevalence of obesity and need for effective interventions, there is a growing interest in understanding how an individual’s body image can inform obesity prevention and management. This study’s objective was to examine the use of silhouette showcards to measure body size perception compared with measured body mass index, and assess body size dissatisfaction, in three different African-origin populations spanning the epidemiological transition. An ancillary objective was to investigate associations between body size perception and dissatisfaction with diabetes an

Abstract Context: Compensatory increases in fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) with increasing phosphate intake may adversely impact health. However, population and clinical studies examining the link between phosphate intake and FGF23 levels have focused mainly on populations living in highly industrialized societies in which phosphate exposure may be homogenous. Objective: The objective of the study was to contrast dietary phosphate intake, urinary measures of phosphate excretion, and FGF23 levels across populations that differ by the level of industrialization. Design: This was a cross-sec

Abstract:

Background. We examined body image perception and its association with reported weight-control behavior among adolescents in the Seychelles.Methods. We conducted a school-based survey of 1432 students aging 11–17 years in the Seychelles. Perception of body image was assessed using both a closed-ended question (CEQ) and Stunkard's pictorial silhouettes (SPS). Voluntary attempts to change weight were also assessed.Results. A substantial proportion of the overweight students did not consider themselves as overweight (SPS: 24%, CEQ: 34%), and a substantial proportion of the normal-weight students

Abstract:

Obesity and diabetes are two of the greatest health difficulties the global community is facing; and interventions, which largely focus on aligning individual behaviour to recommended public health standards have shown marginal success.  Medicalizing obesity, food and health generally ignores culturally specific and individual ways of being in the world.  This project explores the semiotic meanings of the desired behaviour changes for obesity and diabetes prevention in Seychelles.  As women are highly focused on within health, body image and food research, this inquiry aims to l

Abstract:

AbstractThe relationship between microbiota, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and obesity remains enigmatic. We employ amplicon sequencing and targeted metabolomics in a large (n = 1904) African origin cohort from Ghana, South Africa, Jamaica, Seychelles, and the US. Microbiota diversity and fecal SCFAs are greatest in Ghanaians, and lowest in Americans, representing each end of the urbanization spectrum. Obesity is significantly associated with a reduction in SCFA concentration, microbial diversity, and SCFA synthesizing bacteria, with country of origin being the strongest explanatory factor.

AbstractCapillary glucose (CG) measured with point-of-care glucometers can provide useful approximation of plasma glucose (PG) in selected circumstances but the validity of measurements has been adequately assessed only for a few glucometers.We assessed the difference between CG measured with a glucometer (Contour Ascensia, Bayer) and PG measured with a standard laboratory method in participants to a population-based cardiovascular survey in the Seychelles (sample size 1227).CG correlated well with PG (r=0.94; p<0.001). The overall difference between PG and CG was –0.55 mmol/L for PG <4.

Precision medicine has brought new hopes for patients around the world with the applications of novel technologies for understanding genetics of complex diseases and their translation into clinical services. Such applications however require a foundation of skills, knowledge and infrastructure to translate genetics for health care. The crucial element is no doubt the availability of genomics data for the target populations, which is seriously lacking for most parts of Africa.
