Abstract

Obese youths may be susceptible to develop the metabolic syndrome (MS) later in life. To study childhood predictors of MS in adulthood. Prospective cohort study including 2,195 subjects, aged 3-18 years at base-line in 1980, who were re-examined in 1983, 1986, and 2001. In adults (aged 24-39 years) in 2001, the prevalence of MS (using the International Diabetes Federation criteria) was 19% in men and 12% in women. Multivariable logistic regression model selected obesity, male sex, high triglycerides, high insulin, high C-reactive protein (CRP), and family history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes, as independent predictors of adult MS. Youth obesity (body mass index (BMI)>80th age- and sex-specific percentile) was the strongest risk factor for MS. During the 21-year follow-up, there was an increasing trend in BMI, insulin, systolic blood pressure, and triglycerides, and a decreasing trend in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in obese subjects who developed MS in adulthood compared to those obese subjects who did not develop MS. Youth determinants of adult MS included obesity, high triglycerides, high insulin, high CRP, and family history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Identifying these risk factors at an early stage ...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
