Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been shown to reduce mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). The long-term clinical success of PCI is defined as the persistent relief of signs and symptoms of myocardial ischemia for more than 6 months after the index
Low-carbohydrate diets are based on an alternative theory of obesity where dietary carbohydrate, particularly unprocessed sugars, causes hyperinsulinemia, leading to insulin resistance, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. In this model, carbohydrate is viewed as a "metabolic poison" and therefore
Diet rich in saturated fats and sugars have been associated with obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia and fatty liver disease. Especially high serum lipid levels are directly connected to the progression of cardiovascular disorders, which are the leading cause of death all over the world.
BACKGROUND
Previous studies show a high prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in South African (SA) Asian Indians, with the emergence of premature coronary artery disease in young Indian subjects.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of CV risk factors in this population.
METHODS
This was
BACKGROUND
We studied the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Indians from a low-income community and evaluated the relationship between physical behavior patterns and anthropometric measures and the presence of MetS.
METHODS
The modified WHO STEPS questionnaire was used to collect data
Background: Obesity, often associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, is a metabolic disease that can result in dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia. Many reports describe the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties of the
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Date seeds are widely used in Moroccan traditional medicine for treating obesity and related diseases.
Aim of the study: Two date seed varieties (Jihel and Majhoul) were assessed for their phenolic
BACKGROUND
Given the limited data regarding the impact of obesity on treatment outcomes after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for the definitive treatment of prostate cancer, the authors sought to evaluate the effect of obesity as measured by body mass index (BMI) on biochemical disease
Local parks and walkable neighborhoods are commonly cited as elements of the urban environment that promote physical activity and reduce obesity risk. When those vulnerable to obesity-related diseases live in neighborhoods without these qualities, it works against environmental justice goals that
Obesity is socially stigmatized in the U.S., especially for women. Significant research has focused on the role that the social and built environments of neighborhoods play in shaping obesity. However, the role of obesity in shaping neighborhood social structure has been largely overlooked. We test
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to test the hypothesized role of shared body size norms in the social contagion of body size and obesity.
METHODS
Using data collected in 2009 from 101 women and 812 of their social ties in Phoenix, Arizona, we assessed the indirect effect of social norms on shared body mass index
The aim of the present study was to determine serum concentrations of visfatin in obese women in comparison to normal-weight controls. Study subjects were 21 obese women without additional disease (age, 29.0+/-4.9 years; body mass index, 37.1+/-6.1 kg/m2) and 16 healthy, normal-weight women (age,
OBJECTIVE
To review the long-term effects of the diabetic pregnancy on the offspring among the Pima Indians of Arizona.
METHODS
Studies published by the Phoenix Epidemiology and Clinical Research branch of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, since the inception of
Endotherms must expend more energy to digest colder food, so they acquire more calories by eating food at a higher temperature than eating the identical food cold. A recent study shows that ownership of a microwave is associated with a small increase in BMI and obesity. The same logic applies to
