Background and Purpose— The association between obesity atherosclerotic disease is controversial. In the present analysis, we evaluated whether common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) area, 2 markers of preclinical atherosclerosis, were increased in obese subjects. Methods— More than 5000 middle-aged women (n=5062; age, 30 to 69 years) living area Naples, Southern Italy, recruited for a prospective, currently ongoing study on etiology cardiovascular cancer female population (the Progetto...
EPIC-Italy is the Italian section of a larger project known as EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition), prospective study on diet cancer carried out in 10 European countries. In period 1993-1998, completed recruitment 47,749 volunteers (15,171 men, 32,578 women, aged 35-65 years) 4 different areas covered by registries: Varese (12,083 volunteers) Turin (10,604) Northern part country; Florence (13,597) Ragusa (6,403) Central Southern Italy, respectively. An...
The present study was aimed at evaluating in patients with type 2 diabetes: (1) the glycaemic response to four starchy foods based on wheat, typical of Italian diet; (2) importance some food characteristics relation their effects postprandial glucose response. Seventeen diabetes (eleven men and six women) participated study. All consumed, random order alternate days, 50 g available carbohydrate provided by 90 white bread and, according a randomised procedure, an equivalent amount one ( n 8)...
To compare the effects of a nigh-carbohydrate diet on blood glucose and plasma lipids in NIDDM patients with either mild or severe intolerance.A crossover design 15-day intervention was used. Eighteen were separated into two groups basis hypoglycemic treatment (diet, n = 9, plus glibenclamide, 9) assigned to high-carbohydrate/low-fiber containing 60% energy from carbohydrate 20% fat low-carbohydrate/low-fiber 40% then crossed over other for 15 more days.The high-carbohydrate produced...
A large number of studies have investigated the factors correlated to age at natural menopause in several populations. However, information on genetics and life-style influencing onset different populations is current scientific interest. Specifically, for Italian women there are no population-based data. The EPIC-Italy collaboration a source data this kind; moreover, geographical distribution cohorts (recruited northern, central southern Italy) an added value as regards interest these...
Abstract Aims To assess the effectiveness of intermittent-scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) system in preventing severe hypoglycemic episodes and improving parameters quality life. Methods Four hundred T1D individuals were enrolled a prospective real-word study with an intermittently scanned device during 12-months follow-up. The primary endpoint was incidence events. Results 82% subjects naïve to use (group A) 18% already wearing B). cumulative hypoglycemia (SH) at 12 months...
The aim of this study was to explore the characteristics doctor-patient relationship from GP's point view.We performed a cross-sectional 1-day in family practice. Thirty-three GPs volunteered fill questionnaire at end each 20 consecutive consultations on an index day. Six hundred and sixty-one patients (out 665) participated study. Descriptive frequencies GPs' judgements about personal experiences during consultations, predictors global satisfaction score patient encounters were analysed.The...
Objective. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent cardiovascular (CV) risk factor in both sexes. We studied if a diagnosis of LVH on electrocardiogram (ECG) was associated with 'high CV condition' among 40- to 69-year-old individuals cared for by GPs.
OBJECTIVES: An analysis was performed to determine the risks and benefits of a 10-year hormone replacement therapy regimen that had been applied all women at 50 years age in 8 countries. METHODS: Cumulative mortality with without over 20 estimated, both current predicted total disease-specific secular trends influence generational cohort effect taken into account. RESULTS: In countries high ischemic heart disease frequency predictable relative predominance rates breast cancer for next years,...
Illiterate people are at high risk for inappropriate drug use. We aimed enabling diabetic patients who were illiterate and/or migrants to understand diet and drugs prescription through the use of Icons. evaluated two communication tools among 40 migrant unable read speak Italian had medical prescriptions either by being assisted a health care provider or looking study tools. Ninety-six percent subjects with 46% usual plus operator's aid understood (P<0.01). At follow up, 90% vs 60% still...
Background: Thyroid hormones are crucial for metabolism in all tissues humans, including the nervous system and muscles, could thus affect handwriting, which is synthesis of complex fine movements. Hyperthyroidism, characterized by symptoms such as tremor weakness, although this has not been studied yet. The aim study was to evaluate handwriting characteristics before after therapy hyperthyroid Graves' disease (GD). Methods: Twenty-two patients (15 women, 7 men) with untreated GD (median...
Background EPIC-Italy cohort study recruited subjects who voluntarily accepted to participate in the project. From self-selected bases of population sample, some bias could derive data interpretation when risk estimation for cancer disease related life-style factors is principal concern. Knowledge sampling important better directing results. Methods We investigated characteristics volunteer cohorts and compared them with those randomly selected Multipurpose ISTAT Surveys realized same period...
