It is very transitional lifestyle, meaning folks begin and end the lifestyle every day".
This transitional lifestyle has genomic ramifications, which have been associated with processes of gene loss, HGT, and recombination that specifically affect genes coding for cell membrane formation (outer surface structures), or intermediate metabolism (Zientz et al. 2004; Toft and Andersson 2010).
The framework recognises that nutrition transition and lifestyle changes, occurring in transitional societies, influence a child's nutritional status at different societal levels.
The increased prevalence of overweight and obesity warrants preventive actions, particularly among people in transitional stages associated with lifestyle changes, such as occupational retirement.
This could be explained as Malaysia is undergoing a transitional period of nutrition and lifestyle changes due to industrialization, urbanization and globalization.
The high prevalence of NCDs in the current study is a reflection of the on-going epidemiological transitional changes in South Africa, due to lifestyle changes and expanded ARV roll-out (11, 19, 20).
33 There is a need to further evaluate these findings with larger prevalence surveys, especially in the face of changing socioeconomic and lifestyle factors leading to transitional communities: increased chronic non-communicable disease morbidity in impoverished communities with high existing burdens of infectious diseases.
As revealed in the comprehensive topological structure of the MPN, therefore, the phenotype 'Fast-growing' shows a transitional phenotypic relationship, bridging the different lifestyle-centric phenotype nodes, which is consistent with its phylogenetic and functional positions.
We examined whether these changes are reflected in relative entropy of the genomes of M. tuberculosis, a facultative intracellular pathogen, and M. leprae, an obligate intracellular pathogen considered to be in a transitional state between free living and intracellular lifestyles [ 19, 20].
Young adulthood is a transitional time when health behaviours impact on adult lifestyle habits [ 5].
Immigrants may be at particular risk due to genetic susceptibility to insulin resistance, 11 12 difficult transitional phases, and rapid changes in diet and lifestyle, 13 as well as linguistic, cultural and financial barriers to obtaining proper healthcare.
