Abstract

The prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) is known to be very high in the people of Indian origin. In India, rates are rising and CHD has been predicted to rank first among the causes of death in the Indian population by 2015. The reasons for the increased susceptibility of Indians to CHD are yet to be understood completely. However, studies hinted that clustering of risk variables of the metabolic syndrome (MS) could be responsible for the increasing incidence of CHD in the Indians. Therefore, identification of the components of the MS could be one aspect in the way to curb the increasing incidence of CHD among the Asian Indians. Principal component factor analysis (PCFA) was undertaken to identify the components or factors of the metabolic syndrome (MS) among the middle-aged Bengalee Hindu men of Calcutta, India, and was compared with the findings from other studies. The present cross-sectional study consisted of 212 Bengalee Hindu men aged 30 years and above. Besides anthropometric measures, lipid profile, blood pressure, and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were collected from each participant. Waist-hip ratio (WHR), trunk-extremity ratio (TER), and central fat skinfold ratio (CFSR) were computed accordingly. The lipid pro...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.
