TL;DR: Childhood measures of LDL-C level and BMI predict carotid IMT in young adults; the prevention implications of these findings remains to be explored.
Childhood Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Carotid Vascular Changes in Adulthood
TL;DR: In this paper, an increasing trend in carotid IMT across quartiles of LDL-C level measured in childhood was observed, with a mean value of 0.761 mm (95% CI, 0.743-0.780 mm) for those at the top quartile vs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma tumour necrosis factor-alpha and early carotid atherosclerosis in healthy middle-aged men.
Tiina Skoog,Wolfgang Dichtl,Susanna Boquist,C. Skoglund-Andersson,Fredrik Karpe,Rong Tang,M. G. Bond,U de Faire,Jan Nilsson,Per Eriksson,Anders Hamsten +10 more
TL;DR: The plasma TNF-alpha concentration is associated with degrees of early atherosclerosis and correlates with metabolic and cellular perturbations that are considered important for the vascular process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alimentary Lipemia, Postprandial Triglyceride-Rich Lipoproteins, and Common Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Healthy, Middle-Aged Men
Susanna Boquist,Giacomo Ruotolo,Rong Tang,Johan Björkegren,M. G. Bond,U de Faire,Fredrik Karpe,Anders Hamsten +7 more
TL;DR: Results provide further evidence for postprandial triglyceridemia as an independent risk factor for early atherosclerosis and suggest that the postpr andial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins is a better predictor of IMT than particle concentrations of individual TRLs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of multiple coronary risk factors on the intima-media thickness of different segments of carotid artery in healthy young adults (The Bogalusa Heart Study)
Elaine M. Urbina,Sathanur R. Srinivasan,Rong Tang,M. Gene Bond,Lyn Kieltyka,Gerald S. Berenson +5 more
TL;DR: The observed deleterious trend of increasing IMT at different carotid segments with increasing number of risk factors in free-living, asymptomatic young subjects underscores the importance of profiling multiple risk factors early in life.
