Heritability of cardiovascular health across three generations in South Africa: the Birth to Twenty-Plus cohort

2022-03-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> Cardiovascular disease is increasing in many low-middle income countries, including those in Africa. To inform strategies for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in South Africa, we sought to determine the broad heritability of phenotypic markers of cardiovascular risk across three generations. <h4>Design</h4> A cross-sectional study conducted in a longitudinal family cohort. <h4>Setting</...
