Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
The global obesity epidemic is well established, with increases in obesity prevalence for most countries since the 1980s. Obesity contributes directly to incident cardiovascular risk factors, including dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep disorders. Obesity also leads to the development of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular disease mortality independently of other cardiovascular risk factors. More recent data highlight ab…
Waist circumference as a vital sign in clinical practice: A Consensus Statement from the IAS and ICCR Working Group on Visceral Obesity
Despite decades of unequivocal evidence that waist circumference provides both independent and additive information to BMI for predicting morbidity and risk of death, this measurement is not routinely obtained in clinical practice. This Consensus Statement proposes that measurements of waist circumference afford practitioners with an important opportunity to improve the management and health of patients. We argue that BMI alone is not sufficient …
Importance of Assessing Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Clinical Practice: A Case for Fitness as a Clinical Vital Sign: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Mounting evidence has firmly established that low levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality, and mortality rates attributable to various cancers. A growing body of epidemiological and clinical evidence demonstrates not only that CRF is a potentially stronger predictor of mortality than established risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, high cholesterol, and type 2…
Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2016 Update: A Report From the American Heart Association
Each year, the American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and other government agencies, brings together the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and presents them in its Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update. The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay pu…
Rationale, design, and methods for Canadian alliance for healthy hearts and minds cohort study (CAHHM) – a Pan Canadian cohort study
CAHHM is a prospective cohort study designed to investigate the impact of community level factors, individual health behaviours, and access to health services, on cognitive function, subclinical vascular disease, fat distribution, and the development of chronic diseases among adults living in Canada

Pathophysiology of Human Visceral Obesity: An Update
Excess intra-abdominal adipose tissue accumulation, often termed visceral obesity, is part of a phenotype including dysfunctional subcutaneous adipose tissue expansion and ectopic triglyceride storage closely related to clustering cardiometabolic risk factors. Hypertriglyceridemia; increased free fatty acid availability; adipose tissue release of proinflammatory cytokines; liver insulin resistance and inflammation; increased liver VLDL synthesis …
Short sleep duration is associated with greater alcohol consumption in adults
Sugar-Sweetened Beverages, Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Obesity has recently emerged as a major global health problem. According to World Health Organization estimates, ≈1.6 billion adults worldwide were overweight (body mass index [BMI] ≥25 kg/m2) and at least 400 million were obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) in 2005, numbers that are expected to reach 2.3 billion and 700 million, respectively, by 2015. In the United States, the percentage of overweight and obese adults increased markedly from 47% and 15% in 19…
Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Risk of Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), which include soft drinks, fruit drinks, iced tea, and energy and vitamin water drinks has risen across the globe. Regular consumption of SSBs has been associated with weight gain and risk of overweight and obesity, but the role of SSBs in the development of related chronic metabolic diseases, such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, has not been quantitatively reviewed. RESEARCH …
Metabolic and behavioral vulnerability related to weight regain in reduced-obese men might be prevented by an adequate diet–exercise intervention
Abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome
Pleiotropic QTL on Chromosome 12q23-q24 Influences Triglyceride and High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels: The Heritage Family Study
To determine whether a common quantitative trait locus (QTL) influences the variation of fasting triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, we used a bivariate multipoint linkage analysis with 654 polymorphic markers in 99 white and 101 black families. The phenotypes were investigated under two conditions: at baseline and after a 20-week exercise training intervention. A maximum genome-wide bivariate LOD score of 3…
Eating Behaviors and Indexes of Body Composition in Men and Women from the Québec Family Study
Objective : To put into relationship the dietary and anthropometric profile of men and women with their eating behaviors (cognitive dietary restraint, disinhibition, and susceptibility to hunger) and to assess whether gender and obesity status influence these associations. Research Methods and Procedures : Anthropometric measurements (including visceral adipose tissue accumulation), dietary profile (3‐day food record), and eating behaviors (Three…
Tratamiento de la obesidad: Necesidad De Centrar La Atención en Los Pacientes De Alto Riesgo Caracterizados Por La Obesidad Abdominal
La obesidad visceral se asocia a anormalidades metabólicas aumentando el riesgo de diabetes de tipo 2 y de coronariopatía (CP). El Estudio Cardiovascular de Québec demostró que la tríada metabólica aterogénica (TMA) presente en hombres visceralmente obesos (VO), incrementa 20 veces el riesgo de CP durante un período de 5 años. Fue desarrollado un algoritmo de detección precoz a fin de identificar individuos que podrían ser portadores de estas ano…
Comparison of two techniques for measurement of visceral adipose tissue cross‐sectional areas by computed tomography
Most computed tomography (CT) scanners used today are able to accurately measure adipose tissue (AT) areas at any site of the body. However, first generation CT scanners used by some medical centers are not equipped with appropriate software allowing the measurements of AT areas. The aim of this study was to validate a technique of AT area measurements independent from CT scanner software. Abdominal AT areas were recorded with CT in a sample of 3…
