Cardiometabolic disorders and vitamin D deficiency are becoming increasingly more prevalent across multiple populations. Different studies have suggested a potential association between abnormal vitamin D levels and multiple pathological conditions including cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. We aimed to evaluate the association between vitamin D levels, using 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) as...

original article   change in the form of doing the task in some occupations such as farming has led to overweight and obesity as a threatening factor for farmer's health. this study aimed to compare the anthropometric indices of obesity and fatness as the predictors of cardiometabolic disorders among rural farmers in the northern part of iran. this cross-sectional study was carried out in 2012 ...

RATIONALE Growing evidence suggests that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution contributes to risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. There is uncertainty about who are most susceptible. Individuals with underlying cardiometabolic disorders, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity, may be at greater risk. PM2.5 pollution may als...

BACKGROUND all cardiometabolic disorders become more common with age. Frailty and increased vulnerability to adverse outcomes are also common with aging. Even so, how commonly elderly people who are affected by cardiometabolic disorders are also frail remains unclear. OBJECTIVES (i) to evaluate the prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders in relation to frailty. (ii) To estimate to which exten...

Westernized countries face a growing burden of cardiovascular diseases including acute complications of coronary atherosclerosis. Cardiovascular diseases often associate with metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance and obesity. Emerging clinical and experimental studies suggest that inflammation is central to the development of these cardiometabolic disorders. A proinflammatory subset of...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of chocolate consumption with the risk of developing cardiometabolic disorders. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials and observational studies. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, CINAHL, IPA, Web of Science, Scopus, Pascal, reference lists of relevant studies to October 2010, and email contact w...

Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a glycoprotein traditionally implicated in bone remodelling, has been recently related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Human studies show a positive relationship between circulating OPG, vascular damage, and CVD, and as such OPG has emerged as a potential biomarker for CVD. This review focuses on the relationship between circulating OPG and different endocrine cardiometa...
