Journal ArticleDOI
Socio-economic differentials in peripheral biology: Cumulative allostatic load
TL;DR: Evidence linking socio‐economic status (SES) to “downstream” peripheral biology to multiple major biological regulatory systems over the life course is examined, followed by evidence of the resulting cumulative, overall burdens of physiological dysregulation seen among those of lower SES.
Journal ArticleDOI
The metabolic syndrome: common origins of a multifactorial disorder
TL;DR: It is suggested that ectopic fat accumulation (such as visceral and hepatic fat accumulation) and the proinflammatory state are central to the development of the MetS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of dyslipidemia and associated risk factors among Turkish adults: Trabzon lipid study
TL;DR: Dyslipidemia was positively associated with marital status, parity, cessation of cigarette smoking and current cigarette use, and alcohol consumption, and negatively associated with the level of education, household income, and physical activity.

TL;DR: Adherence to Mediterranean diet is modeslty associated with a better insulin sensitivity, lower levels of total cholesterol and higher levels of systolic blood pressure in overweight and obese subjects, suggesting that compared to general population, the beneficial effect of this diet in cardiovascular system of excess body weight people is limited.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The high prevalence of dyslipidemia among Turkish adults and its associations with other cardiovascular risk factors was positively associated with age, body mass index, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, and blood pressure, and negatively associated with altitude.

TL;DR: Dairy therapy remains the first line of treatment of high blood cholesterol, and drug therapy is reserved for patients who are considered to be at high risk for CHD, and the fundamental approach to treatment is comparable.

TL;DR: The most effective therapy prescribed by the most careful clinician will control hypertension only if patients are motivated, and empathy builds trust and is a potent motivator.

TL;DR: In those older than age 50, systolic blood pressure of greater than 140 mm Hg is a more important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor than diastolic BP, and hypertension will be controlled only if patients are motivated to stay on their treatment plan.

Age-specific relevance of usual blood pressure to vascular mortality: a meta-analysis of individual data for one million adults in 61 prospective studies.
TL;DR: Throughout middle and old age, usual blood pressure is strongly and directly related to vascular (and overall) mortality, without any evidence of a threshold down to at least 115/75 mm Hg.

Prevalence of the Metabolic Syndrome Among US Adults: Findings From the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
TL;DR: These results from a representative sample of US adults show that the metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent and the large numbers of US residents with the metabolic Syndrome may have important implications for the health care sector.
