Abstract

Diverticular disease represents an increasing pathology and healthcare burden worldwide. Our aim was to study the prevalence, extent and distribution of asymptomatic diverticular disease assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a sample of a Western population. Subjects from a population-based cohort study who underwent 3-T MRI were analyzed for the prevalence and extent of diverticula of the colon using an isotropic VIBE-Dixon gradient-echo sequence. The extent of diverticular disease was categorized according to the number of diverticula in each colonic segment. Univariate and adjusted analyses were performed to assess associated characteristics and risk factors. Among 393 subjects included in the analysis (56.4 ± 9.2 years, 57.5% males), 164 (42%) had diverticular disease, with the highest prevalence in the left-sided colonic segments (93% diverticular disease in the descending and sigmoid segment). Subjects with advanced diverticular disease were older (62.1 vs. 54.4 years) and had a higher body mass index (BMI), LDL cholesterol levels and systolic blood pressure (30.2 ± 5.1 vs. 27.8 ± 4.9 kg/m2, 149.8 ± 29.3 vs. 135.2 ± 32.9 mg/dl and 128.2 ± 14.1 vs. 118.4 ± 16.1 mmHg, respectively; all p > 0.003) compared with sub...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
