Differential white blood cell count and incident heart failure in men and women in the EPIC-Norfolk study.
AIMS Markers of inflammation are associated with increased risk of heart failure, but data on differential white blood cell (WBC) count are lacking. We examined the prospective association between differential WBC count and incident heart failure events. METHODS AND RESULTS Hazard ratios (HRs) (per increase of 1000 cells/μL, 95% confidence interval) of total WBC count and individual component...
متن کاملAssociation of White Blood Cell Count With Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Men and Women
Background: Despite the widespread obesity epidemic in the world, not all obese people are equally susceptible to the complications of obesity. Inflammatory factors play an important role in the complications of obesity. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the association of White Blood Cell (WBC) count with metabolic syndrome in overweight/obese men and women. Methods: This cross-sectiona...
متن کاملPlasma Phospholipid Fatty Acid Concentration and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Men and Women: The EPIC-Norfolk Prospective Study
BACKGROUND The lack of association found in several cohort studies between dietary saturated fat and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk has renewed debate over the link between dietary fats and CHD. METHODS AND FINDINGS We assessed the relationship between plasma phospholipid fatty acid (PFA) concentration and incident CHD using a nested case control design within a prospective study (EPIC-Nor...
متن کاملCirculating secretory phospholipase A2 activity and risk of incident coronary events in healthy men and women: the EPIC-Norfolk study.
OBJECTIVE To assess the association between secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) activity, which encompasses several types of sPLA2, and cardiovascular disease (CAD) in healthy individuals. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated this association in a nested case-control study among the 25,663 participants in EPIC-Norfolk cohort. Cases (n=991) were subjects in whom CAD developed during the 6 years ...
متن کاملThe White Blood Cell and Differential Count
The simplest test is the WBC count and differential. White cells can be counted manually in specially designed chambers (Neubauer) or with automated counters. The latter are widely used, offering the advantage of higher accuracy and speed over manual techniques. To determine the differential, a drop of blood is thinly spread over a glass slide, air dried, and stained with a Romanofsky stain, mo...
