Correspondence The INTERSTROKE study on risk factors for stroke – Authors' reply
Xianwei Zeng and collagues suggest our analysis of the INTERSTROKE study1 overestimated the population attributable for ten risk factors of stroke due to the selection of variables included. Although we did not include a variable for metabolic syndrome, we did include the key domains for metabolic syndrome, namely obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and apolipoproteins. Our analysis also included a measure of dietary quality, namely modified alternative healthy index (mAHEI). Variables for health education and hormones were not included, because these were not measured, although certain hormones could be measured in future an...

Hypertension in pregnancy and future maternal health.
Abstract Preeclampsia is a specific risk factor chronic of hypertension, of coronary events (Ray et al., 2005), of stroke (Brown et al., 2006), of chronic renal failure (Kattah and Garovic, 2005; McDonald et al., 2003; Williams, 2003) and a specific risk factor of cardio-cerebrovascular mortality (Magnussen et al., 2009). According to Magnusson et al. (2009), the relative long-term risk of developing hypertension is multiplied by 4; the risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome multiplied by 3; the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke multiplied by 2. Cardiovascular risk is particularly important when pregnancy...

Circulating fatty-acid binding-protein 4 levels predict CV events in patients after coronary interventions.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, circulating FABP4 is an independent prognostic predictor for the composite cardiovascular events in the patients with stable CHD after coronary interventions. PMID: 32859455 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical correlates of obesity in an inner-city adult medicine clinic.

Psoriasis and Cardiovascular Disease.
Abstract Psoriasis is a common, chronic and systemic inflammatory disease associated with several comorbidities, such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia and metabolic syndrome, but also with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, like myocardial infarction or stroke. The chronic inflammatory nature of psoriasis has been suggested to be a contributing and potentially independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular comorbidities and precocious atherosclerosis. Aiming at alerting clinicians to the need of screening and monitoring cardiovascular diseases and its risk factors in psori...

Plasma testosterone, obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
Abstract The frequency of diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome rises concurrently with that of body mass index (BMI). In adult men, plasma testosterone level changes evolve inversely to that of BMI. Plasma total testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and free testosterone are significantly lower in adult men with a clinical and biological pattern of metabolic syndrome (MetS) than in those without such a pattern. After adjustment for confounding factors, diabetes type 2 (DT2) remains associated with a significant decrease of plasma testosterone level. The androgenic blockade, used as a treatment for dissem...

Sudachitin, a polymethoxylated flavone, improves glucose and lipid metabolism by increasing mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle
Conclusions: Sudachitin may improve dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome by improving energy metabolism. Furthermore, it also induces mitochondrial biogenesis to protect against metabolic disorders.

Prevalence, components and associated demographic and lifestyle factors of the metabolic syndrome in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Background: Adults with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are twice as likely to die from and three times as likely to have a heart attack or stroke compared with people without the syndrome. About 70-80% of type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) patients are diagnosed with the MetS. Investigating the occurrence of the MetS in type 2 DM patients is critical for cardiovascular disease prevention. We evaluated the prevalence and components of the MetS and its associated clinical and demographic factors in a Ghanaian adult population with DM 2. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 previously diagnosed type 2 ...

Self-reported eating rate and metabolic syndrome in Japanese people: cross-sectional study
Conclusions Results suggest that eating rate is associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome and that this association is largely accounted for by the difference in body mass according to eating rate.

Closing the loop on inflammation and atherothrombosis: why perform the CIRT and CANTOS trials?
Authors: Ridker PM Abstract Inflammation contributes to all phases of the atherothrombotic process, patients with elevated inflammatory biomarkers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) have increased cardiovascular risk, and recent work directly implicates the interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) pathways in atherogenesis. Yet, it remains unknown whether targeted inhibition of inflammation will reduce cardiovascular event rates. To address directly this fundamental hypothesis, our research group has initiated two large-scale, randomized, placebo-controlled trials using targeted anti-inflammat...

Contributions of maternal and paternal adiposity and smoking to adult offspring adiposity and cardiovascular risk: the Midspan Family Study
Conclusions There are modest genetic/epigenetic influences on the environmental factors behind adverse adiposity. Maternal smoking appears a specific hazard on obesity and metabolic syndrome. A possible epigenetic mechanism linking maternal smoking to obesity and metabolic syndrome in offspring is proposed. Individuals with family histories of obesity should be targeted from an early age to prevent obesity and complications.

Food addiction: Definition, measurement and limits of the concept, associated factors, therapeutic and clinical implications.
Abstract Addictions, which are characterized by the inability to control a behavior despite existence of physical or psychological consequences, have biological, psychological and social determinants. Although the possibility of developing an addiction to some psychoactive substances (e.g. alcohol, tobacco, cannabis) and to gambling (i.e., gambling disorder) is now well demonstrated, the possibility to develop a non-drug addiction (i.e., behavioral addiction) to certain behaviors which provide pleasure (e.g. eating, having sex, buying things) is still in debate. The concept of food addiction, which refers to peopl...

94: online management of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk factors: a simple method for awareness and actions
Conclusion: Effective and affordable strategies to control the syndrome could benefit the at risk population. The integration of interactive e-health programs to primary health care practices such as prevention of cardiovascular risk factors offers possibilities for on- time interaction with the target group. The use of web-based approaches is a great interest in the management of patients at high cardiovascular risk, especially in a scenario where the prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes is increasing.
