Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyse longitudinal relationships between resting heart rate and biological risk factors for cardiovascular disease using data from the longitudinal Amsterdam Growth and Health Study (AGHS). In the AGHS, 98 females and 81 males were measured six times between 1977 and 1991. In 1977, the age of the subjects was 13 years. The variables assessed included resting heart rate, diastolic and systolic blood pressure, high-density serum lipoprotein, total serum cholesterol, the sum of four skinfolds, cardiopulmonary fitness (VO 2 max), habitual physical activity and smoking history. To investigate the longitudinal relationships between resting heart rate and diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, high-density serum lipoprotein, total serum cholesterol, sum of four skinfolds and V O 2 max, generalized estimating equations were used, leading to one standardized longitudinal regression coefficient (beta). Significant univariate relationships were found between resting heart rate and diastolic blood pressure (beta = 0.142; P = 0.00), systolic blood pressure (beta = 0.134; P = 0.00), VO 2 max (beta = -0.091; P = 0.00) and sum of four skinfolds (beta = 0.047; P = 0.021). The relationships between rest...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.
