"Perceived neighborhood walkability" and physical activity in four urban settings in South Africa by Isiagi, Moses

“…The Spearman’s correlations ranged from (rs = -0.43, p=0.00 to rs = 0.79, p=0.00). For construct validity of the NEWS -Africa instrument against self-reported physical activity, only three scales were related to walking for transport: Neighbourhood surroundings scale (rs= -0.34, p=0.01), Safety from Traffic scale (rs =0.34, p< 0.05) and people in the low-SES and combined SES perceived public bus/ train stops to be nearer than they actually were (rs =-0.50, P< 0.05). …”

To investigate whether VEGF and KDR polymorphisms are associated with chronic Achilles tendinopathy and self-reported measurements of tendon pain by Brazier, Christina Daniela

“…Results: Although the VEGFA and KDR variants were not associated with AT, either independently, as inferred haplotypes or via allele interactions, (i) the VEGFA rs699947 CC genotype was significantly associated with decreased risk of bilateral AT, (ii) the A-G VEGFA inferred haplotype constructed from rs699947 and rs2010963 was associated with increased risk of bilateral AT, (iii) the KDR rs2071559 AA genotype was significantly associated with increased risk of a history of multiple (two or more) AT, (iv) the G-T and A-A KDR inferred haplotypes constructed from rs2071559 and rs1870377 were associated with decreased risk and increased risk of multiple and/or bilateral AT, respectively, and (v) the C-G and A-A VEGFA rs699947 and KDR rs2071559 allele-allele interactions were significantly associated with decreased and increased risk of bilateral or multiple injuries respectively. …”
