Kidney function, electrocardiographic findings, and cardiovascular events among older adults.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with cardiovascular (CV) disease and mortality. It is not known whether cardiac rhythm disturbances are more prevalent among individuals with CKD or whether resting electrocardiogram findings predict future CV events in the CKD setting. Data were obtained from the Cardiovascular Health Study, a community-based study of adults aged >/=65 yr. After exclu...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic manifestations: electrolyte abnormalities.
Because myocyte depolarization and repolarization depend on intra- and extracellular shifts in ion gradients, abnormal serum electrolyte levels can have profound effects on cardiac conduction and the electrocardiogram (EKG). Changes in extracellular potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels can change myocyte membrane potential gradients and alter the cardiac action potential. These changes can ...
متن کاملNutritional status of elderly Chinese vegetarians.
AIM To study the nutritional status of elderly Chinese vegetarians. SUBJECTS AND METHOD Dietary intake (using the 24-h recall method), anthropometric indices and some nutritional laboratory parameters were studied in 131 elderly Chinese vegetarian women with a mean age of 81 years. Data from age- and sex-matched omnivore subjects from previous elderly surveys were used for comparison. RESUL...
متن کاملSelf-objectification, feminist activism and conformity to feminine norms among female vegetarians, semi-vegetarians, and non-vegetarians.
Recent research has suggested that vegetarians may be at an increased risk for developing disordered eating or body image issues when compared to non-vegetarians. However, the results of such studies are mixed, and no research has explored potential connections between vegetarianism and self-objectification. In the current study, the authors examine factors that predicted body surveillance, bod...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic abnormalities and reclassification of cardiovascular risk: insights from NHANES-III.
BACKGROUND We aimed to assess the additive value of electrocardiogram (ECG) findings to risk prediction models for cardiovascular disease. METHODS Our dataset consisted of 6025 individuals with ECG data available from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey-III. This is a self-weighting sample with a follow-up of 79,046.84 person-years. The primary outcomes were cardiovascular mo...
