Infectious burden and carotid plaque thickness: the northern Manhattan study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The overall burden of prior infections may contribute to atherosclerosis and stroke risk. We hypothesized that serological evidence of common infections would be associated with carotid plaque thickness in a multiethnic cohort. METHODS Antibody titers to 5 common infectious microorganisms (ie, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus, and herpesvirus 1...

متن کاملLipids and carotid plaque in the Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS)
BACKGROUND Lipids, particularly low-density (LDL) and high-density (HDL) lipoproteins, are associated with increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease, probably due to atherosclerosis. The objective of this cross-sectional analysis was to investigate the relation between blood lipids and carotid plaque. METHODS As part of a prospective population-based study to determine the incidence...
متن کاملAlcohol intake, carotid plaque, and cognition: the Northern Manhattan Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Moderate alcohol intake has been associated with better cognitive performance, implicating vascular and neurodegenerative processes. Few studies to clarify the importance of vascular disease have included direct measures of atherosclerosis or minority populations at higher risk of vascular disease and dementia. METHODS The Northern Manhattan Study includes stroke-free c...
متن کاملInfectious burden and risk of stroke: the northern Manhattan study.
OBJECTIVE To determine the association between a composite measure of serological test results for common infections (Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus 1 and 2) and stroke risk in a prospective cohort study. DESIGN Prospective cohort followed up longitudinally for median 8 years. SETTING Northern Manhattan Study. Patients Randomly selected ...
