The Prevalence of Obesity Among Saudi Males in the Riyadh Region
Attendees of 15 health centers in Urban and rural areas in the Riyadh region were screened for obesity during May and June 1994. Systemic selection yielded 1580 Saudi males for analysis. The mean age was 33.6± 13.5 years and body mass index (BMI) was 26.9± 5.7 kg/m2. Only 36.6% of subjects were their ideal weight (BMI< 25 kg/m2), while 34.8% were overweight (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2), 26.9% were moderately obese (BMI 3.0-40 kg/m2) and 1.7% were morbidly obese (BMI> 40 kg/m2). Middle age, lower education and joblessness predicted a higher risk for obesity. Patients living in rural areas had greater BMIs than th...

Metabolic syndrome in Egyptian patients with vitiligo: a case–control study
Conclusion: Vitiligo patients showed a better lipid profile, with higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lower TGs and WC values. In patients with vitiligo, increased insulin levels and insulin resistance may be related to other mechanisms than obesity, such as production of cytokines or autoimmune reaction to melanocytes. Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Exploring the Link Between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and inflammation-Related Medical Conditions: An Epidemiological Examination
This study examined the relation between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and inflammation-related medical conditions using data from the 2013 –2014 New York City Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Using a representative sample of 1,527 residents in New York City, the association between PTSD and 17 inflammation-related medical conditions were examined. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were conducted, adjusting for demographic characteristics and lifetime depression. PTSD was strongly associated with increased odds for hypercholesterolemia, insulin resistance, angina, heart attack, and emphysema with the gr...

Clinical impact of angiotensin I converting enzyme polymorphisms in subjects with resistant hypertension.
Abstract Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism is thought to affect renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity and development of cardiovascular disease; significant associations between I/D polymorphism and atherosclerosis, stroke, nephropathy, and early mortality were already found. We investigated whether Southern Italy resistant hypertensives presented an association between the presence of I and/or D alleles and early vascular damage, inflammation, and insulin resistance. One-hundred-fifty resistant hypertensives were enrolled, studied, and genotyped; carotid intima-media th...

Contribution of Maladaptive Adipose Tissue Expansion to Development of Cardiovascular Disease.
Authors: Jia G, Jia Y, Sowers JR Abstract The overweight and obesity epidemic has led to an increase in the metabolic syndrome and associated cardiovascular disease (CVD). These abnormalities include insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, vascular stiffness, hypertension, stroke, and coronary heart disease. Visceral white adipocyte tissue (WAT) expansion and associated fibrosis/stiffness of WAT promote insulin resistance and CVD through increases in proinflammatory adipokines, oxidative stress, activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, dysregulation of adipocyte apoptosis and autophagy, dysfunction...

Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent, affecting 34% of men and 17% of women. Individuals with OSA experience recurrent cardiometabolic stress when repetitively attempting to breathe against an occluded airway during sleep, leading to nightly episodes of hypoxia, sleep disruption, and surges of the sympathetic nervous system. These physiological perturbations often cause blood pressure and heart rate elevations, endothelial dysfunction, and insulin resistance —mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and neurologic disease. When untreated, OSA is associated with an ...

7 Tips To Lower Diabetes Risk in Menopause During the Holidays
By now, most people have been to a holiday party or two. Lots of food, lots of eggnog and other carb laden alcoholic beverages, and lots of grazing all day long on all the boxes of candy friends and business acquaintances sent to us. It's easy to gain the five pounds most people gain during the holidays, and in the process, raise your blood sugar or glucose levels too high. That's your body letting you know you have prediabetes (higher than normal but still below diabetes levels) or diabetes, and unless you take action soon, your body won't like it. Diabetes silently sneaks up on you and if untreated, slowly weakens your ...

Why Diet Soda Could Actually Prevent You From Losing Weight
Reaching for a diet soda may actually hinder weight loss efforts, a new study done in mice suggests. In experiments, researchers found that the artificial sweetener aspartame, which is found in some diet drinks, may contribute to the development of a condition called “metabolic syndrome,” which involves a cluster of symptoms, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and a large waist size. People with metabolic syndrome face an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The researchers found how aspartame could be linked with metabolic syndrome: Aspartame may stop a key gut enzyme ...

Pre-treatment clinical assessment in head and neck cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary Guidelines.
Authors: Robson A, Sturman J, Williamson P, Conboy P, Penney S, Wood H Abstract This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. This paper provides recommendations on the pre-treatment clinical assessment of patients presenting with head and neck cancer. Recommendations • Comorbidity data should be collected as it is important in the analysis of survival, quality of life and functional outcomes after treatment as well as for comparing results of different treatment regimens and different centres. (R) • Patients with hypertens...

Cardiovascular Consequences of Childhood Secondhand Tobacco Smoke Exposure: Prevailing Evidence, Burden, and Racial and Socioeconomic Disparities: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
CONCLUSIONS: The epidemiological, observational, and experimental evidence accumulated to date demonstrates the detrimental cardiovascular consequences of SHS exposure in children. IMPLICATIONS: Increased awareness of the adverse, lifetime cardiovascular consequences of childhood SHS may facilitate the development of innovative individual, family-centered, and community health interventions to reduce and ideally eliminate SHS exposure in the vulnerable pediatric population. This evidence calls for a robust public health policy that embraces zero tolerance of childhood SHS exposure. PMID: 27619923 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Added Sugars and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Children: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
CONCLUSIONS: Associations between added sugars and increased cardiovascular disease risk factors among US children are present at levels far below current consumption levels. Strong evidence supports the association of added sugars with increased cardiovascular disease risk in children through increased energy intake, increased adiposity, and dyslipidemia. The committee found that it is reasonable to recommend that children consume ≤25 g (100 cal or ≈6 teaspoons) of added sugars per day and to avoid added sugars for children <2 years of age. Although added sugars most likely can be safely consumed in low amounts as ...
