Jesús Millán,Xavier Pintó,Anna Muñoz,Manuel Zúñiga,Joan Rubiés-Prat,Luis Felipe Pallardo,Luis Masana,Alipio Mangas,Antonio Hernández-Mijares,Pedro González-Santos,Juan F. Ascaso,Juan Pedro-Botet +11 more
TL;DR: Future recommendations regarding the diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemia should include the lipoprotein ratios with greater predictive power which, in view of the evidence-based results, are none other than those which include HDL cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosing Insulin Resistance by Simple Quantitative Methods in Subjects With Normal Glucose Metabolism
TL;DR: Three indirect indexes used to predict insulin sensitivity or IR were calculated, and metabolic syndrome was diagnosed using the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria and results were correlated with those of the MMAMG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cuantificación de insulinorresistencia con los valores de insulina basal e índice HOMA en una población no diabética
TL;DR: Los mejores indicadores clinicobioquimicos de insulinorresistencia son los valores de glucemia en ayunas, el indice of masa corporal (IMC) y the trigliceridos plasmaticos.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: AO, expressed as WC, appears to be a good indicator of risk for IR and the MS, particularly in non-obese subjects (BMI<30), whereas those for the MS are IR, WC, and age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of HDL cholesterol levels and the total/ HDL cholesterol ratio as a risk factor for coronary heart disease in molecularly defined heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia
José T. Real,Felipe J. Chaves,I. Martinez-Usó,A.B. Garcia-Garcia,Juan F. Ascaso,Rafael Carmena +5 more
TL;DR: In familial hypercholesterolaemia subjects of similar age, gender, body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and genetic factors that could influence coronary heart disease risk, plasma HDL cholesterol values and total/HDL cholesterol ratios are two important coronary risk factors.
