Although metabolic disturbances are often observed in obese patients, increased accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (AT) has been shown to be more closely associated with high fasting triglyceride (TG) and insulin levels as well low HDL cholesterol concentrations than excess body fatness per se. Interestingly, the concentration plasma TGs an important determinant magnitude duration postprandial TG response. Yet little is known about respective contributions obesity versus AT variation...
OBJECTIVE: Age-related differences in body fat and, more specifically, the accumulation of abdominal visceral adipose tissue (AT) were examined as potential covariates age-related difference metabolic profile predictive cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk observed young, compared with middle-aged, premenopausal women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Body composition, AT distribution, plasma lipoprotein-lipid levels, glucose tolerance, and insulin concentrations assessed a sample 122 young women...
The aim of this study was to determine the contribution physical activity and abdominal obesity variation in inflammatory biomarkers incident coronary heart disease (CHD) a European population. In prospective case–control nested Prospective Investigation into Cancer Nutrition-Norfolk cohort, we examined associations between circulating levels or C-reactive protein, myeloperoxidase (MPO), secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2), lipoprotein-associated (Lp-PLA2), fibrinogen, adiponectin, waist...
Eating behaviour traits are associated with body weight variations in adults. The Three-Factor Questionnaire (TFEQ) measures cognitive restraint, disinhibition and hunger, as well their corresponding subscales, e.g. rigid flexible control. TFEQ has not been widely used adolescents to investigate eating weight. aim of the present study was assess whether were BMI male female adolescents. Sixty (thirty females thirty males; mean age 15·0 ( sd 2·4) years) from Québec Family Study completed 3 d...
Freshly isolated human adipocytes showed specific uptake of 125I-labeled high density lipoprotein (HDL2 and HDL3), a portion which could be released by subsequent incubation with excess unlabeled ligand. To study the mechanism HDL binding, sucrose gradient-purified adipocyte plasma membranes were incubated radioiodinated particles under equilibrium conditions in absence (total binding) or presence (nonspecific 100-fold Specific binding HDL2 HDL3, calculated subtracting nonspecific from total...
Differences in cardiovascular risk factors across Europe provide an opportunity to examine the impact of adiposity on frequency diabetes and disease (CVD).The International Day for Evaluation Abdominal obesity (IDEA) study evaluated prevalence abdominal obesity, elevated body mass index (BMI), other cardiometabolic among primary care patients. predicted increased risk, despite socio-economic, demographic, factor differences. Cardiovascular was at least two-fold more frequent Eastern vs....
To further understand the factors involved in regulation of high plasma triglyceride (TG) or low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, three groups male subjects (normal TG with HDL-C normal and levels) were compared a sample normolipemic men levels. Mean age was 34 years (range, 20-42 years), none had levels > 4.0 mmol/l familial hypercholesterolemia. Both higher body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip circumferences ratio, ratio abdominal to femoral adipose tissue...
One difficulty in performing meta-analyses of observational cohort studies is that the availability confounders may vary between cohorts, so some cohorts provide fully adjusted analyses while others only partially analyses. Commonly, association an exposure and disease either are restricted to with full confounder information, or use all but do not adjust for confounding. We propose using a bivariate random-effects meta-analysis model information from available still adjusting potential...
To determine the effect of obesity on size distribution fat cell populations in human adipose tissue, omental tissue biopsies were obtained from lean, moderately obese, and massively obese patients. The distributions adipocytes lean tissues examined by scanning electron microscopic method bimodal, consisting very small cells mature cells, contrast to collagenase-derived isolated that showed only large cells. population represented 21 26% total number both groups. In contrast, preparations...
Many measures have been proposed to summarize the prognostic ability of Cox proportional hazards (CPH) survival model, although none is universally accepted for general use. By contrast, little work has done stratified CPH model; such would be useful in analyses individual participant data from multiple studies, multi-centre and single study analysis where stratification used avoid making assumptions hazards. We chosen three developed unstratified model (Schemper Henderson's V , Harrell's...
