Obesity, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk.
Obesity, a highly prevalent condition, is heterogeneous with regard to its impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Epidemiological observations and metabolic investigations have consistently demonstrated that the accumulation of excess visceral fat is related to an increased risk of CVD as well as several metabolic and inflammatory perturbations. In the past decade, data from several studi...
متن کاملInflammation and Infection Do Not Promote Arterial Aging and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors among Lean Horticulturalists
BACKGROUND Arterial aging is well characterized in industrial populations, but scantly described in populations with little access to modern medicine. Here we characterize health and aging among the Tsimane, Amazonian forager-horticulturalists with short life expectancy, high infectious loads and inflammation, but low adiposity and robust physical fitness. Inflammation has been implicated in al...
متن کاملMalnutrition-inflammation score independently determined cardiovascular and infection risk in peritoneal dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND The malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS) is an indicator of malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome and an outcome-predictor in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. However, its utility in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and its association with the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) have not yet been examined. METHODS All chronic stable PD outpatients in the PD center of N...

متن کاملCarotid Artery Imaging: Insights Into Inflammation and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Patients With HIV Infection
A s patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) live longer because of advances in antiretroviral therapy, the importance of identifying and preventing non—AIDS-related causes of death has increased. Whether HIV infection, per se, increases risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains an open question, because patients with HIV tend to have higher prevalence of powerful traditional CVD ris...
