Westernization of Chinese adults and increased subclinical atherosclerosis.
Cardiovascular event rates are much lower in China compared with developed countries. "Westernization" of diet and lifestyle in the Chinese, however, may lead to an increased prevalence of atherosclerosis-related diseases. Because carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, we examined IMT and vascular risk profile in community-based groups of rural Chinese,...
متن کاملComparison of Predictive Value of Cardiometabolic Indices for Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Chinese Adults
OBJECTIVES Metabolic disturbances are well-known risk factors for atherosclerosis, but it remains unclear which cardiometabolic components are the predominant determinants. This study aimed to compare and identify the key determinants of carotid atherosclerosis in asymptomatic middle-aged and elderly Chinese. METHODS A community-based cross-sectional study including 3,162 apparently healthy r...
متن کاملSubclinical atherosclerosis in northern and southern China: the Chinese paradox
BACKGROUND The incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) is higher in Northern than that in Southern China, however differences in traditional CHD risk factors do not fully explain this. No study has examined the differences in subclinical atherosclerosis that may help explain the differences in incidence. This study examined these differences in subclinical atherosclerosis using coronary compu...
متن کاملAssociation between Metabolic Components and Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Korean Adults
BACKGROUND Many studies have attempted to develop relatively simple and easy noninvasive measurements of atherosclerosis (NIMA), and each NIMA assesses different atherosclerotic properties. We, therefore, investigated the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) components and different NIMAs. METHODS This study included 1,132 Korean subjects over 20 years of age who had visited a Health...
متن کاملRacial/Ethnic differences in subclinical atherosclerosis among adults with diabetes: the multiethnic study of atherosclerosis.
R ecent findings from the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) (1) are consistent with previous reports that non-Hispanic white (white) adults have a greater presence and quantity of coronary artery calcium (CAC) than non-Hispanic black (black), Hispanic, and ChineseAmerican (Chinese) adults (2–5). It is not known whether previously reported racial/ethnic differences in atherosclerosis p...
