    Abstract Objectives: To investigate first, the level, distribution, patterns and prevalence of seven-day, objectively-measured physical activity (ambulation) in a rural health and demographic surveillance system (HDSS) site in South Africa, across demographic, temporal and anthropometric measures, within a sample of adolescent and adult participants from a defined ethnic group. Second, to investigate the strength and direction of association between levels of adiposity and physical activity (ambulation).
    Data description: The data collected comprises anonymized, individual-level, seven-day pedometry data from a cross-sectional, conveniently sampled survey conducted in 2005-2007. The data includes daily steps and daily activity energy expenditure, basic demographic and temporal information (age, sex, village, day, season) and anthropometric measures (stature, body mass, waist and hip circumference, skinfold thickness) and resting heart rate and blood pressure. Given that this data set was of the first large-scale surveys of objectively-measured physical activity in a South African sample, it could be useful for inclusion in future ecological studies investigating the trend of physical activity over time in the South African population. In addition, this objectively-measured data could provide a useful triangulation point for the interpretation and validation of surveys conducted using self-report measures, especially within rural communities.

    Abstract: Objectives: To investigate free-living, accelerometry-derived step cadence and walking strategy parameters in 263 adult women (19-56 years) within a rural African setting. Participants were categorised into weight groups: Under-to-Normal Weight (UW/NW: < ...

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate free-living, accelerometry-derived step cadence and walking strategy parameters in 263 adult women (19-56 years) within a rural African setting. Participants were categorised into weight groups: Under-to-Normal Weight (UW/NW: < 25 kg/m
    Results: Average step volume was 13,568 steps/day, and > 85% of participants were classified as active-to-highly-active. Overall, ≈ 45% of daily steps was accumulated in the low-to-moderate intensity range. Peak cadence indices were higher in the UW/NW group (p ≤ 0.0112). For both groups, 75% of steps were accumulated in bouts > 15 min, and 95% of bouts were accumulated at 1-39 steps/min. The UW/NW group employed a more varied step cadence, and higher cadences contributed more to step accumulation than the OW/OB group (p ≤ 0.05). There were no significant group differences in bout length strategy parameters (p ≥ 0.0861). Despite no difference between the weight groups in step volume, there were differences in some step cadence indices which reflect higher step intensities, and in cadence strategies chosen to accumulate steps.

    Abstract Abstract Objectives To investigate free-living, accelerometry-derived step cadence and walking strategy parameters in 263 adult women (19–56 years) within a rural African setting. Participants were categorised into weight groups: Under-to-Normal Weight (UW/NW: < 25 kg/m2), Overweight-to-Obese (OW/OB: ≥ 25 kg/m2). From the minute-by-minute uni-axial accelerometry data, outcomes describing physical activity intensity, step volume, step cadence and step bouts were extracted. In addition, walking pattern parameters for step bout length and step cadence were determined. Results Average step volume was 13,568 steps/day, and > 85% of participants were classified as active-to-highly-active. Overall, ≈ 45% of daily steps was accumulated in the low-to-moderate intensity range. Peak cadence indices were higher in the UW/NW group (p ≤ 0.0112). For both groups, 75% of steps were accumulated in bouts > 15 min, and 95% of bouts were accumulated at 1–39 steps/min. The UW/NW group employed a more varied step cadence, and higher cadences contributed more to step accumulation than the OW/OB group (p ≤ 0.05). There were no significant group differences in bout length strategy parameters (p ≥ 0.0861).

    Abstract A 60-year-old woman presented with a depressed lesion at the site of her first COVID-19 (Astra Zeneca) vaccine injection. The lesion was diagnosed as a case of injection related localized lipoatrophy as markers of autoimmune disease were negative and biopsy differentiated it from localized involutional lipoatrophy. This case of localized lipoatrophy was likely due to inadvertent subcutaneous injection of the COVID-19 vaccine with a 16 mm long needle.

    Abstract The metabolic processes that link Alzheimer's disease (AD) to elevated cholesterol levels in the brain are not fully defined. Amyloid beta (Aβ) plaque accumulation is believed to begin decades prior to symptoms and to contribute significantly to the disease. Cholesterol and its metabolites accelerate plaque formation through as-yet-undefined mechanisms. Here, the mechanism of cholesterol (CH) and cholesterol 3-sulfate (CS) induced acceleration of Aβ
