Cardiovascular mortality in overweight subjects: the key role of associated risk factors.
The role of obesity and overweight as independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease is still debated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of overweight on cardiovascular mortality according to the presence or absence of associated risk factors. This study included 139,562 men and 104,236 women, aged 18 to 95 years, who had a standard health checkup at the IPC Center between 1...
متن کاملOverweight and increased cardiovascular mortality: no French paradox.

متن کاملPulse pressure and cardiovascular mortality in normotensive and hypertensive subjects.
There is now increasing evidence that high pulse pressure, which is an indicator of large artery stiffness, is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality, especially coronary mortality, in different populations. We have recently shown in a large French population that in male subjects aged 40 to 69 years, increased pulse pressure was a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality, ...
متن کاملMetabolic risk factors and markers of cardiovascular and renal damage in overweight subjects.
BACKGROUND The prevalence of overweight and obesity in the United States has dramatically increased. Obesity clusters with a variety of hemodynamic and metabolic disturbances that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. In this study we evaluated whether overweight subjects with hypertension also manifest hemodynamic and metabolic abnormalities compared with individuals of normal weight. ...
متن کاملPressor factors and cardiovascular pressor responsiveness in lean and overweight normal or hypertensive subjects.
Several blood-pressure-regulating factors including exchangeable sodium, blood volume, plasma renin, aldosterone, norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (E) levels, urinary catecholamine excretion rates, and cardiovascular responsiveness to infused NE and angiotensin II (AII) were compared among age-matched subgroups of normal subjects (15 with normal weight, 15 with overweight) and patients with...
