The association of urinary cadmium with sex steroid hormone concentrations in a general population sample of US adult men
Urinary cadmium levels were not associated with sex steroid hormone concentrations in a large nationally representative sample of US men
Markers of Inflammation and Cardiovascular Disease
In 1998, the American Heart Association convened Prevention Conference V to examine strategies for the identification of high-risk patients who need primary prevention. Among the strategies discussed was the measurement of markers of inflammation.1 The Conference concluded that “many of these markers (including inflammatory markers) are not yet considered applicable for routine risk assessment because of: (1) lack of measurement standardization, …
Association between dietary patterns and plasma biomarkers of obesity and cardiovascular disease risk
C-Reactive Protein and Other Markers of Inflammation in the Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease in Women
BACKGROUND: Since inflammation is believed to have a role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular events, measurement of markers of inflammation has been proposed as a method to improve the prediction of the risk of these events. METHODS: We conducted a prospective, nested case-control study among 28,263 apparently healthy postmenopausal women over a mean follow-up period of three years to assess the risk of cardiovascular events associated with ba…
Plasma lipids and other cardiovascular risk factors in Costa Rican adolescents
This study assessed plasma lipids and other cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents in a developing Latin American country and compared those risk factors to those of adolescents in the United States of America, where the risk of heart disease is high. In a cross-sectional study, data were collected from September 1998 to April 1999 on 161 Costa Rican adolescents between the ages of 12 and 20. A general questionnaire was used to collect demogr…
Serum Lipids, Neuroendocrine, and Cardiovascular Responses to Stress in Men and Women with Mild Hypertension
In this study, we examined the relation between serum lipid levels, gender, and cardiovascular and neuroendocrine stress reactivity in patients with mild hypertension. Ninety-nine individuals (62 men, 37 women) with mild hypertension performed four mental stress tasks: mental arithmetic, public speaking, cold stress, and a computer videogame. Cardiovascular reactivity scores were computed by subtracting the minimum resting blood pressure (BP) and…
