Exercise, Arterial Modulation and Nutrition in Youth South Africa Study
The Exercise, Arterial Modulation and Nutrition in Youth South Africa (ExAMIN Youth SA) Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The ExAMIN Youth SA study aims to generate new knowledge on the pathophysiology involved in early vascular aging among South African children and to identify early novel biological markers for predicting the subclinical development of hypertension and target organ damage related to cardiovascular disease. This study further implements state-of-the-art biochemical technology to measure a variety of biological markers including multiplex analyses and metabolomics. With the increasing prevalence of childhood hypertension and obesity, this study will be able to address especially behavioural contributors to hypertension development and to subsequently provide a backdrop for school-based primary prevention interventions.
