Abstract

The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of physical activity and eating behaviors on precursors of cardiovascular disease-including overweight/obesity, hypertension, low high-density lipoprotein, and impaired glucose tolerance-in pediatric liver transplant (LT) recipients and matched controls. Cross-sectional study of pediatric LT recipients 8 to 30 years, matched to controls from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Dietary intake assessed with 24-hour recall. Physical activity assessed by standardized questionnaires. LT recipients ≥12 years completed a confidential survey on alcohol consumption. LT recipients (n = 90) were 0.9 to 24.7 years post-transplant. LT recipients and controls were equally likely to consume excess carbohydrates (32% vs 34%) and sugar, per age- and gender-specific recommended dietary intake guidelines. LT recipients spent more hours sedentary or on the computer daily and fewer days each week physically active for >60 minutes than controls. More overweight/obese LT recipients spent 3+ hours at the computer than non-overweight LT recipients (49% vs 27%; P = 0.02). Normal weight LT recipients spent more days doing vigorous activity each week (median 5 days, interquartile range 2-6) t...Continue Reading

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.
