An evaluation of metabolic risks for coronary death in the Asia Pacific region.
TLDR
Specific cut-points for metabolic risk factors are not generalizable between populations and a multivariable definition of the metabolic syndrome including all risk factors as continuous variables improves CHD risk discrimination substantially.About:

Epidemiology of metabolic syndrome in Asia.
TL;DR: Prospective data show that the metabolic syndrome not only increases the risk of coronary artery disease but also cerebrovascular disease in Asians, and Macronutrient composition and the quality of the diet are associated with therisk of metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing and validating risk prediction models in an individual participant data meta-analysis
TL;DR: An IPD meta-analysis offers unique opportunities for risk prediction research by allowing separate model intercept terms for each study (population) to improve generalisability, and by using ‘internal-external cross-validation’ to simultaneously develop and validate their model.

Xilin Yang,Wing-Yee So,Gary T.C. Ko,Ronald C.W. Ma,Alice P.S. Kong,Chun-Chung Chow,Peter C.Y. Tong,Juliana C.N. Chan +7 more
TL;DR: Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the association between LDL cholesterol and cancer was V-shaped, whereby both low and high levels of LDL cholesterol were associated with elevated risk of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic syndrome and incidence of liver and breast cancers in Japan
TL;DR: The NCEP-ATPIII 2001 criteria were superior to the other four proposed criteria for predicting the incidence of cancer, and high blood glucose was a significant associated factor for all sites and liver cancers, whereas the metabolic syndrome was found to be a significantassociated factor for breast cancer.

Body Composition in Asians and Caucasians: Comparative Analyses and Influences on Cardiometabolic Outcomes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed differences in body fat content and distribution between East Asians, South Asians, and Caucasians and found that Asians have a greater predisposition towards adiposity at higher BMI than in Caucasians.

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.

Role of Insulin Resistance in Human Disease
TL;DR: The possibility is raised that resistance to insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and hyperinsulinemia are involved in the etiology and clinical course of three major related diseases— NIDDM, hypertension, and CAD.

TL;DR: Abnormal lipids, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, abdominal obesity, psychosocial factors, consumption of fruits, vegetables, and alcohol, and regular physical activity account for most of the risk of myocardial infarction worldwide in both sexes and at all ages in all regions.

Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome and its relation to all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in nondiabetic European men and women.
TL;DR: The overall prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in nondiabetic adult Europeans is 15%, slightly higher in men than in women, and nondiabetic persons with the metabolic Syndrome have an increased risk of death from all causes as well as cardiovascular disease.
