OBJECTIVE
To describe body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and waist-hip ratio in a Palestinian West Bank village population, and to assess the associations of these variables to blood pressure and serum lipids.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study.
METHODS
Community-based study in a prototypic
Hypertriglyceridemia is defined as an abnormal concentration of triglyceride in the blood and has been associated with atherosclerosis, even in the absence of hypercholesterolemia. This case report is of 40-year-old man diagnosed to have hypertriglyceridemia who attended for routine screening in our
BACKGROUND
Majority of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are more likely to die of cardiovascular complications before reaching end stage renal disease. The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) recommends that all CKD patients should be evaluated for dyslipidemia and for treatment
This study compared the ability of anthropometric parameters to predict Metabolic Syndrome (MetS).Eleven anthropometric parameters: waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), a body shape index (ABSI), body roundness We investigated 190 healthy, unrelated and randomly selected, north-west Indian Punjabis (M:102; F:88) for paraoxonase (PON1) polymorphism by dual substrate method and also determined lipid variables i.e., total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low density lipoprotein
BACKGROUND
Adiponectin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, has both metabolic and antiinflammatory properties. Although multiple studies have described the relationship between adiponectin and obesity in several human populations, no large studies have evaluated this relationship in
OBJECTIVE
To compare the prevalence of components of the metabolic syndrome, including hypertension, abnormal glucose metabolism, dyslipidemia, central obesity, and overall obesity, between a rural and an urban Palestinian West Bank community.
METHODS
A total of 500 rural and 492 urban men and women
BACKGROUND
Lipid abnormalities are common in patients with hypertension. The prevalence of isolated lipid abnormalities is not known in normotensive and hypertensive population of north-west India.
METHODS
We studied the prevalence of isolated low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (IL-HDLC),
We have studied 116 patients in the West of Scotland receiving isotretinoin for acne vulgaris at a dose of 1 mg/kg per day. No clinical evidence of adverse effects resulting from lipid elevations were seen in the short term. Cholesterol levels rose during the first 6 weeks of therapy, and thereafter
Menopause is a condition where women had not experienced menstruation for 12 consecutive cycles. At menopause period, there is alteration in women reproductive cycle where estrogen decreased and lipid status altered.This study is aimed to understand the This study aimed to find out the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor clustering in a rural adult population of West Bengal, India.
This cross-sectional study was carried out among 1007 participants (645 males and 362 females) aged ≥20 years in a rural community. All participants
The reported associations between birth weight and childhood cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors have been inconsistent. In this study, we investigated the relationship between birth weight and CVD risk factors at 11 years of age. This study used longitudinally linked data from three
Lipoprotein typing was undertaken in apparently healthy women (419) and men (103) in whom measurements of fasting total cholesterol, triglycerides, and cholesterol content of the major lipoprotein fractions were made. In the female group (30 to 59 years) there was a significant rise in total
