Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal trends in major cardiovascular risk factors in the Czech population between 1985 and 2007/8. Czech MONICA and Czech post-MONICA
Renata Cifkova,Zdenka Škodová,Jan Bruthans,Věra Adámková,M. Jozifova,M. Galovcova,Peter Wohlfahrt,Alena Krajčoviechová,Rudolf Poledne,Petr Stavek,Věra Lánská +10 more
TL;DR: The striking improvement in CV risk factors documented between 1985 and 2007/8 most likely contributed to the decrease in CV mortality in the Czech Republic.
Journal ArticleDOI
The decrease in C-reactive protein concentration after diet and physical activity induced weight reduction is associated with changes in plasma lipids, but not interleukin-6 or adiponectin.
Alena Dvoráková-Lorenzová,P. Suchanek,Peter J. Havel,Petr Stavek,Karasová L,Zdenĕk Valenta,Jaroslav Tintĕra,Rudolf Poledne +7 more
TL;DR: The decrease in hsCRP concentration after weight reduction does not appear to be mediated by decreases in circulating IL-6 or adiponectin concentrations; however, change inhsCRp concentration is related to changes in waist circumference and lipid metabolism, reflected by plasma triacylglycerol and FFA levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the effects of atorvastatin or fenofibrate on nonlipid biochemical risk factors and the LDL particle size in subjects with combined hyperlipidemia.
Vojtech Melenovsky,Jan Malik,Dan Wichterle,Jan Simek,Alexandra Pisarikova,Jan Škrha,Rudolf Poledne,Petr Stavek,Richard Ceska +8 more
TL;DR: Both atorvastatin and fenofibrate had similar beneficial effects on LDL particle size and on oxidative stress, and should be considered during selection of a particular lipid-lowering modality.
Journal ArticleDOI
APOE polymorphism and its effect on plasma C-reactive protein levels in a large general population sample
Jaroslav A. Hubacek,Anne Peasey,Hynek Pikhart,Petr Stavek,Ruzena Kubinova,Michael Marmot,Martin Bobak +6 more
TL;DR: This study provides robust evidence of an association between plasma hsCRP and the APOE genotype, an association not explained by history of cardiovascular disease nor its risk factors.
Journal Article
Which index best correlates with body fat mass: BAI, BMI, waist or WHR?
TL;DR: The BAI index is not a universally valid index that could be used in the place of the BMI index in a Caucasian population; indeed, it would not accurately reflect body fat mass and thus could lead to an increased risk of obesity.
