Risk factor groupings related to insulin resistance and their synergistic effects on subclinical atherosclerosis: the atherosclerosis risk in communities study.
The extent to which groupings of insulin resistance-related cardiovascular risk factors synergize to produce atherosclerosis beyond what is expected from their additive effects is uncertain. The objective of this study was to measure interactions among groupings of the features of the insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) on carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT). This cross-sectional study used ba...

متن کاملThe Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system has been implicated in the development of hypertension. Heart rate variability is a noninvasive tool to quantitatively estimate cardiac autonomic activity and has been used to document decreased cardiac autonomic activity in hypertension. The ability of decreased heart rate variability to predict incident hypertension has not been well studied, and ...

Background and Purpose—The relationship between physical activity and stroke is inconclusive according to the 1996 US Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between physical activity and ischemic stroke risk among 14 575 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study participants aged 45 to 64 years free of self-reported stroke and c...
متن کاملSubclinical hypothyroidism and risk to carotid atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess whether subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is associated with carotid atherosclerosis, as well as dyslipidemia, and arterial hypertension. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study included 69 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed SCH, and 30 matched healthy controls. Body mass index (BMI), TSH, fT4, antibodies to thyroid peroxidase (TPOabs), lipids, blood...
