Budgetary Impact of Including the Urinary Genomic Marker Cxbladder Detect in the Evaluation of Microhematuria Patients.

Introduction: Current AUA guidelines mandate a risk-stratified approach for the evaluation of microhematuria. Urine genomic tests with high negative predictive value could further reduce unnecessary diagnostic testing and morbidity, but the economic impact is unknown. This study modeled the financial impact of Cxbladder Detect on microhematuria evaluations.

Physical Behaviors and Their Association With Adiposity in Men and Women From a Low-Resourced African Setting.

Background: We first explored the associations between physical behaviors and total and regional adiposity. Second, we examined how reallocating time in different physical behaviors was associated with total body fat mass in men and women from a low-income South African setting.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included a sample of 692 participants (384 men and 308 women) aged 41-72 years.

Physical behaviors and their association with type 2 diabetes mellitus risk markers in urban South African middle-aged adults: an isotemporal substitutionapproach.

Introduction: To examine the associations between physical behaviors and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk markers in middle-aged South African men and women.

Research Design And Methods: This cross-sectional study included middle-aged men (n=403; age: median (IQR), 53.0 (47.

Physical Activity Behaviors of a Middle-Age South African Cohort as Determined by Integrated Hip and Thigh Accelerometry.

Purpose: Descriptive studies of objectively measured physical activity behaviors in African populations are rare. We developed a method of combining hip and thigh accelerometery signals to quantify and describe physical behaviors in middle-age South African men and women.

Methods: We integrated signals from two triaxial accelerometers worn simultaneously during free-living, in a subsample of the Middle-age Soweto Cohort ( n = 794; mean (SD) age, 53.
