Objectives To determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in adult patients with drug-resistant hypertension, a common problem tertiary care facility. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting University hypertension clinic. Patients and methods Adults defined as clinic blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg, while taking sensible combination three or more antihypertensive drugs, titrated to maximally recommended doses. Each 41 participants completed an overnight polysomnographic study all...
The optimal range of sodium intake for cardiovascular health is controversial.We obtained morning fasting urine samples from 101,945 persons in 17 countries and estimated 24-hour potassium excretion (used as a surrogate intake). We examined the association between urinary composite outcome death major events.The mean was 4.93 g per day 2.12 day, respectively. With follow-up 3.7 years, occurred 3317 participants (3.3%). As compared with an 4.00 to 5.99 (reference range), higher (≥ 7.00 day)...
Higher levels of sodium intake are reported to be associated with higher blood pressure. Whether this relationship varies according or potassium and in different populations is unknown.We studied 102,216 adults from 18 countries. Estimates 24-hour excretion were made a single fasting morning urine specimen used as surrogates for intake. We assessed the between electrolyte pressure, measured an automated device.Regression analyses showed increments 2.11 mm Hg systolic pressure 0.78 diastolic...
The association between intake of fruits, vegetables, and legumes with cardiovascular disease deaths has been investigated extensively in Europe, the USA, Japan, China, but little or no data are available from Middle East, South America, Africa, south Asia.We did a prospective cohort study (Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology [PURE] 135 335 individuals aged 35 to 70 years without 613 communities 18 low-income, middle-income, high-income countries seven geographical regions: North America...
The precise relationship between sodium and potassium intake cardiovascular (CV) risk remains uncertain, especially in patients with CV disease.To determine the association estimated urinary excretion (surrogates for intake) events established disease or diabetes mellitus.Observational analyses of 2 cohorts (N = 28,880) included ONTARGET TRANSCEND trials (November 2001-March 2008 from initial recruitment to final follow-up). We 24-hour a morning fasting urine sample (Kawasaki formula). used...
BackgroundSeveral international guidelines recommend the consumption of two servings fruits and three vegetables per day, but their intake is thought to be low worldwide. We aimed determine extent which such related availability affordability.MethodsWe assessed fruit vegetable using data from country-specific, validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires in Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study, enrolled participants communities 18 countries between Jan 1, 2003, Dec...
To evaluate the relation between intake of ultra-processed food and risk inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Prospective cohort study.21 low, middle, high income countries across seven geographical regions (Europe North America, South Africa, Middle East, south Asia, East China).116 087 adults aged 35-70 years with at least one cycle follow-up complete baseline frequency questionnaire (FFQ) data (country specific validated FFQs were used to document dietary intake). Participants followed...
Background and objectives: Although 24-h urinary measure to estimate sodium potassium excretion is the gold standard, it not practical for large studies. We compared estimates of from a single morning fasting urine (MFU) using three different formulae in healthy individuals. Methods: studied 1083 individuals aged 35–70 years general population 11 countries. A MFU specimen were obtained each individual. subset 448 repeated measures after 30–90 days. The Kawasaki, Tanaka, INTERSALT used...
Most data regarding the association between glycemic index and cardiovascular disease come from high-income Western populations, with little information non-Western countries low or middle incomes. To fill this gap, are needed a large, geographically diverse population.
BackgroundHypertension is considered the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but its control poor worldwide. We aimed to assess availability and affordability of blood pressure-lowering medicines, association with use these medicines pressure in countries at varying levels economic development.MethodsWe analysed availability, costs, data recorded from 626 communities 20 participating Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study. Medicines were available if they...
Cohort studies report inconsistent associations between fish consumption, a major source of long-chain ω-3 fatty acids, and risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Whether the vary those with without vascular is unknown.To examine whether consumption CVD or mortality differ individuals disease.This pooled analysis individual participant data involved 191 558 from 4 cohort studies-147 645 (139 827 7818 CVD) 21 countries in Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study 43 413 patients...
