Correlation between body fat components and coronary heart disease risk scores

Correlation between Body Fat Mass and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

The study analyzes the impact of a body fat mass onto body composition, as muscle mass, water mass, and bone mass of a body, and also onto such physical parameters, as the basal metabolic ratio (BMR), metabolic age, a bioimpedance in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The research included 58 people, of them 32 patients with NAFLD. There were studied anthropometrical indica...

Literature-Based Genetic Risk Scores for Coronary Heart Disease

Multilocus genetic risk scores for coronary heart disease prediction.

OBJECTIVE Current guidelines do not support the use of genetic profiles in risk assessment of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, new single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with CHD and intermediate cardiovascular traits have recently been discovered. We aimed to compare several multilocus genetic risk score (MGRS) in terms of association with CHD and to evaluate clinical use. APPROACH...

Prevalence of major coronary heart disease risk factors in Iran

Background and aims: Coronary heart diseases (CHDs) contribute to mortality, morbidity, disability, productivity and quality of life. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of major risk factors for CHD in the provinces of Iran. Methods: This study reported pre-existing data and was of secondary, descriptive type. Prevalence of non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors was def...

Relationship Between Fat, Cholesterol and Coronary Heart Disease

In order to evaluate the relationship between dietary fats and cholesterol with the incidence of heart disease and the potential for heart disease risk reduction, one must recognize the enormous impact of cardiovascular disease on the health of the population. In the United States, cardiovascular disease afflicts over 65 million individuals and accounts for almost one million deaths each year. ...
