Insulin sensitivity and carotid intima-media thickness: relationship between insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular risk study.
OBJECTIVE Despite a wealth of experimental data in animal models, the independent association of insulin resistance with early carotid atherosclerosis in man has not been demonstrated. APPROACH AND RESULTS We studied a European cohort of 525 men and 655 women (mean age, 44 ± 8 years) free of conditions known to affect carotid wall (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia). All subje...
متن کاملAssociation of Insulin Resistance Indexes to Carotid Intima–Media Thickness
OBJECTIVES Accumulating evidence suggests an association between insulin resistance (IR) and cardiovascular diseases The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between indexes of IR and common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), an indicator of vascular damage. METHODS In 847 non-diabetic Caucasians a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test was performed and surrogate indexes of IR were...
متن کاملSnoring and carotid artery intima-media thickness.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS A growing body of evidence indicates that primary snoring (PS) may be the initial presentation of sleep-disordered breathing and can adversely affect an individual's health. Individuals with the sole diagnosis of PS were evaluated to determine if a relationship exists between snoring and thickening of the intima media of the carotid arteries. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional...
متن کاملParkinson's disease and carotid intima-media thickness.
UNLABELLED Reports about the impact of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) on clinical status in Parkinson's disease (PD) are rather controversial. There have been a few studies and inconsistent results regarding the coincidence of Parkinson's disease (PD) and atherosclerotic diseases, such as cerebrovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a known marker for subclinical atherosclero...
متن کاملCarotid Intima-Media Thickness in Master Athletes
BACKGROUND Carotid Intima Media Thickness (IMT) is currently used to assess the relationship between progression of coronary and systemic atherosclerosis. To date, however, the possible impact of regular physical activity (PA) on this parameter has not been well estimated. OBJECTIVES Our study aims to examine this aspect especially in the absence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. PATIENT...
