Comparison of homocysteinemia and MTHFR 677CT polymorphism with Framingham Coronary Heart Risk Score.
OBJECTIVE The Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk Score is an important clinical tool. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare plasma homocysteine levels and polymorphism 677CT MTHFR with this score to determine the utility of these new biomarkers in clinical practice. METHODS Plasma homocysteine levels determined by chemiluminescence and polymorphism 677CT MTHFR, detected by ...
متن کاملFramingham risk score and prediction of lifetime risk for coronary heart disease.
We investigated whether the Framingham risk score, which was designed to estimate the 10-year risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), differentiates lifetime risk for CHD. All subjects in the Framingham Heart Study examined from 1971 to 1996 who were free of CHD were included. Subjects were stratified into age- and gender-specific tertiles of Framingham risk score, and lifetime risk for CHD was e...
متن کاملObesity Phenotype and Coronary Heart Disease Risk as Estimated by the Framingham Risk Score
There are conflicting data as to whether general or abdominal obesity is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk. This cross-sectional study involved 4,573 subjects aged 30 to 74 yr who participated in the Fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2008. Obesity phenotype was classified by means of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), and partici...
متن کاملCoffee consumption and coronary heart disease risk using the Framingham risk score.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although concerns regarding the influence of coffee consumption on human health have accompanied the massive increase in coffee consumption, the effects of coffee intake on the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) remain controversial. Therefore, we evaluated the association between coffee consumption and CHD risk as estimated using the Framingham risk model in Korean...
متن کاملPrediction of Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease Using Framingham Risk Score in Korean Men
BACKGROUND Currently, there is sparse data available on the relationship between coronary heart disease (CHD) and its risk factors estimated by the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) in Korea. This is particularly true when looking at risk factors of CHD associated with the FRS after adjustment for other covariates especially in healthy subjects. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We conducted a prospec...
