Aim. To carry out a comparative assessment of cardiometabolic risk factors in men and women aged 18–44 years.Methods. The cross-sectional study included 251 patients divided into 2 groups. Group 1 consisted of 124 men; group 2 had 127 women in it. All participants of the study underwent anamnesis collection, blood pressure measurement, and assessment of anthropometric parameters, physical examination, biochemical and immunological tests.Results. The most significant gender differences were noted in the levels of leptin and adiponectin, fibrinogen and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1, angiotensin II and interleukin-10 in the blood serum with no differences in cardiometabolic risk factors, including glucose and lipid metabolism.Conclusion. The revealed features of changes in adipokines and cytokines, indicators of hemostasis and vasoconstrictors in men and women expand the current knowledge about the role of some pathophysiological mechanisms in the development of cardiovascular pathology at a young age in the context of cardiometabolic risk concept.
Public health strategies for the detection, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) can be implemented at many levels as follows: from individual behavioral alterations to population-based strategies that affect different national and cultural communities. Despite the fact that the priority of primary prevention is treating hypertension and hyperlipidemia, great importance is given to improving behavioral and biological risk factors. Dietary modification, exercise and smoking cessation are specific interventions that can be targeted to reduce CVD risk at both the individual and population levels. Following a healthy lifestyle can potentially change factors such as overweight/obesity, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. The aim of this review was to present and summarize new data on the primary cardiovascular prevention with a focus on improving behavioral risk factors considered in the current guidelines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
