Modifiable Risk Factors for Increased Arterial Stiffness in Outpatient Nephrology
Arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality. Arterial stiffness increases with age. However, modifiable risk factors such as smoking, BP and salt intake also impact on PWV. The finding of modifiable risk factors may lead to the identification of treatable factors, and, thus, is of interest to practicing nephrol...
متن کاملSerum lipoprotein (a) as an atherosclerosis risk factor in men with androgenic alopecia
Background: The association between coronary artery disease and androgenic alopecia has been demonstrated, but few studies have focused on the mechanism of this association. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile in male pattern alopecia.Methods: In this case control study, 45 male patients with androgenic alopecia who were aged from 20 to 50 years and 45 men with a norma...
متن کاملAnorexia of Aging: A Modifiable Risk Factor for Frailty
Anorexia of aging, defined as a loss of appetite and/or reduced food intake, affects a significant number of elderly people and is far more prevalent among frail individuals. Anorexia recognizes a multifactorial origin characterized by various combinations of medical, environmental and social factors. Given the interconnection between weight loss, sarcopenia and frailty, anorexia is a powerful,...
متن کاملIs dietary Acid a modifiable risk factor for nephropathy progression?
[11] , endothelin [10] , and aldosterone [10] . Together, these studies suggest that patients with reduced GFR but no metabolic acidosis nevertheless have acid retention that might mediate nephropathy progression. Reducing acid retention with less acid-producing diets that lower net endogenous acid production (NEAP) might slow nephropathy progression in patients with reduced GFR even without me...
متن کاملAssessing Diet as a Modifiable Risk Factor for Pesticide Exposure
The effects of pesticides on the general population, largely as a result of dietary exposure, are unclear. Adopting an organic diet appears to be an obvious solution for reducing dietary pesticide exposure and this is supported by biomonitoring studies in children. However, results of research into the effects of organic diets on pesticide exposure are difficult to interpret in light of the man...
