Abstract

The present study was conducted to clarify whether body mass index (BMI [kg/m(2)]) classifications (i.e., without excess weight, overweight, and obese) modify the rate of progression of arterial stiffening, a cardiovascular risk factor associated with weight gain. A 3-year observational study was conducted in 2,080 healthy middle-aged Japanese men (aged 42+/-10 years). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was measured at the beginning and end of the study period. In overweight subjects (30>BMI>or=25), the estimated annual rate of increase of baPWV (ARbaPWV) in subjects with weight gain (>or=5% weight gain; ARbaPWV, 21.8+/-4.4 cm/s/year) was significantly higher than in those without weight gain (<5% weight gain; ARbaPWV, 12.5+/-1.6 cm/s/year), after adjustments for changes in blood pressure and other variables (p<0.05). This change was not observed in subjects without excess weight (BMI<25) or in obese subjects (BMI>or=30). The increase in the ARbaPWV associated with weight gain in the overweight group was also higher than that in the without excess body weight or obese groups. Our study revealed that the BMI classifications modified the annual rate of increase in arterial stiffening associated with weight gain. Weight ga...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

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.

Cardiovascular Risk Prediction

Cardiovascular risk prediction models based on classical risk factors identified in epidemiological studies are useful in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in individuals. Here is the latest research.
