Serum Gamma-Glutamyltransferase Concentration Correlates with Framingham Risk Score in Koreans
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a novel coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factor, but its use as an independent factor for CAD risk prediction remains unclear in Asian population. This study examined the association between serum GGT concentration and Framingham risk score (FRS) in the Korean population. This cross-sectional study was performed on 30,710 Koreans. Besides FRS, body mass inde...
متن کاملCorrelates and reference limits of plasma gamma-glutamyltransferase fractions from the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND We assessed GGT fractions correlates and their reference values in the Offspring Cohort of the Framingham Heart Study. METHODS Correlates of GGT fractions were assessed by multivariable regression analysis in 3203 individuals [47% men, mean age (SD): 59 (10) years]. GGT fractions reference values were established by empirical quantile analysis in a reference group of 432 healthy su...
متن کاملRelationship between sleep duration and Framingham cardiovascular risk score and prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Koreans
Studies have shown sleep duration to be related to the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and hypertension. However, whether sleep duration is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and the prevalence of CVD irrespective of conventional CV-risk factor, such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, and metabolic syndrome, has not been well established for the Korean population.A total of 23,878 i...
متن کاملIncreased serum gamma-glutamyltransferase activity in patients with metabolic syndrome.
OBJECTIVES Accumulating data indicate that serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity represents a true marker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and has prognostic importance. In this study, we sought to evaluate serum GGT activity in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). STUDY DESIGN We enrolled 232 patients (mean age 60.4 years) from our outpatient cardiology clinic, 117 with...
متن کاملSerum Gamma-Glutamyltransferase Levels are Associated With Concomitant Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Korean Hypertensive Patients
Previous studies suggested that serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels were associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors including hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the general population. We aimed to investigate the relationship between serum GGT levels and CVD risk factors in Korean hypertensive patients. This cross-sec...
