OBJECTIVE The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and cardiometabolic abnormalities, the influence of residence area, occupation, and lifestyle on new anthropometric indices, and the relationship between anthropometric indices and cardiometabolic abnormalities in a Chinese community-dwelling population. METHODS The study included 4,868 residents through a large h...

OBJECTIVE Assessing the prevalence of cardiometabolic factors in residents from a community in the north of Valencia city, Venezuela, and establishing clustering patterns for the cardiometabolic alterations. METHODS One hundred people aged 19 to 77 were studied. Weight, height, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, glucose, lipid profile and insulin were all measured. Insulin resistance wa...

BACKGROUND In HIV-uninfected populations, physical activity decreases mortality and inflammation. Inflammation is a potential cause of comorbidities in HIV+ adults, the evidence examining the effect of physical activity on cardiometabolic health is limited. This analysis examines the relationship between physical activity, cardiometabolic health and inflammation. METHODS We conducted a nested...

OBJECTIVE The relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is well known, although the extent to which body weight may act as a confounder or mediator in this relationship is uncertain. The aim of this study was to examine whether the association between CRF and cardiometabolic risk factors is mediated by BMI. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A cross-sectional...

OBJECTIVE The goal of the present study was to examine whether sexual minority young adults are more vulnerable to developing cardiometabolic risk following exposure to stressful life events than heterosexual young adults. METHOD Data came from the National Longitudinal Study for Adolescent Health (Shin, Edwards, & Heeren, 2009; Brummett et al., 2013), a prospective nationally representative ...

BACKGROUND It is not clear whether the association between sedentary time and cardiometabolic risk exists among obese adolescents. We examined the association between screen time (TV and computer time) and cardiometabolic risk in obese Dutch adolescents. METHODS AND FINDINGS For the current cross-sectional study, baseline data of 125 Dutch overweight and obese adolescents (12-18 years) partic...

In this study, the health-related selection hypothesis (that health predicts social mobility) and the social causation hypothesis (that socioeconomic status influences health) were tested in relation to cardiometabolic factors. The authors screened 8,312 United Kingdom men and women 3 times over 10 years between 1991 and 2004 for waist circumference, body mass index, systolic and diastolic bloo...

BACKGROUND Hypertension and obesity are highly interrelated diseases, being critical components of the metabolic syndrome. Despite the growing prevalence of this syndrome in the world population, efficient therapies are still missing. Thus, identification of novel targets and therapies are warranted. An enhanced activity of the hypothalamic renin-angiotensin system (RAS), including the recently...

Obesity has become a global epidemic, and it is major risk factor for other metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes cardiometabolic disease. Dietary protein effective body-weight management. This study aimed to investigate the effect of grilled meat supplemented with cinnamon, green coffee cardamom on serum liver function obese rats. Fourty-two adult male rats weighing approximately (150 ± ...
