Coronary artery disease risk among obese metabolically healthy young men

Heart disease risk among metabolically healthy obese men and metabolically unhealthy lean men.

Diabetes risk among overweight and obese metabolically healthy young adults.

OBJECTIVE To determine diabetes incidence over time among obese young adults without metabolic risk factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Incident diabetes during a median follow-up of 6.1 years was assessed among 33,939 young men (mean age 30.9 ± 5.2 years) of the Metabolic, Lifestyle and Nutrition Assessment in Young Adults cohort who were stratified for BMI and the number of metabolic abnor...

Fatty liver disease determines the progression of coronary artery calcification in a metabolically healthy obese population

OBJECTIVES Metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotype describes an obese state with a favorable metabolic profile. However, the prognosis of this subpopulation remains controversial. We aimed to examine whether MHO phenotype is associated with progression of atherosclerotic activity, reflected as the changes in coronary artery calcification (CAC) over time. If so, we sought to determine the ro...

Comparison of Novel Coronary Artery Disease Risk Factors between Obese and Normal Adolescent

Background: Coronary artery disease is considered as the most common cause of death in all societies including Iran. This study seeks to compare the new risk factors of coronary-artery diseases in obese adolescents and control group.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, amongst the obese adolescents registered in the nutrition clinic of Ghaem Hospital, 80 individuals were selected. As the con...

Healthy Men and in Men with Coronary Artery Disease

T HE INCREASE of pulse wave velocity with age is well established1-3 and reflects a loss of the elastic properties of the arterial wall.4 The age trends of pulse wave velocity vary for different arteries.2 8 In view of early localization of atherosclerotic changes in the abdominal aorta, we have compared age trends of the aortic pulse wave velocity, measured by impedance plethysmography in norm...
