“…Atherosclerosis is a common systemic vascular condition that increases the risk of life‐threatening cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including coronary artery disease and ischemic stroke 1, 2. Studies demonstrated that carotid atherosclerosis (CA) had a strong relationship with the new occurrence of ischemic stroke, particularly for asymptomatic individuals with other risk factors, including smoking, low physical activity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or hyperlipidemia 3, 4.…”

BackgroundCarotid atherosclerosis (CA) is a reflector of generalized atherosclerosis that is associated with systemic vascular disease. Data are limited on the epidemiology of carotid lesions in a large, nationally representative population sample. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of CA detected by carotid ultrasonography and related risk factors based on a national survey in China.Methods and ResultsA total of 107 095 residents aged ≥40 years from the China National Stroke Prevention Project underwent carotid ultrasound examination. Participants with carotid endarterectomy or carotid stenting and those with stroke or coronary heart disease were excluded. Data from 84 880 participants were included in the analysis. CA was defined as increased intima–media thickness (IMT) ≥1 mm or presence of plaques. Of the 84 880 participants, 46.4% were men, and the mean age was 60.7±10.3 years. The standardized prevalence of CA was 36.2% overall, increased with age, and was higher in men than in women. Prevalence of CA was higher among participants living in rural areas than in urban areas. Approximately 26.5% of participants had increased IMT, and 13.9% presented plaques. There was an age‐related increase in participants with increased IMT, plaque presence, and stenosis. In multiple logistic regression analysis, older age, male sex, residence in rural areas, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia were associated with CA.Conclusions CA was highly prevalent in a middle‐aged and older Chinese population. This result shows the potential clinical importance of focusing on primary prevention of atherosclerosis progression.

SummaryBackground: Reports about the relationships between specific insulin concentration and coronary heart disease risk are controversial.Hypothesis: The objective of this study was to examine the association between insulin level and the severity of coronary atherosclerosis.Methods: The study population consisted of 507 consecutive patients (376 men and 131 women) who underwent coronary angiography for suspected or known coronary atherosclerosis. The patients' habits of smoking and drinking were investigated, and anthropometric measurements including body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, as well as plasma measurements including lipids and blood glucose were taken. The true insulin level was measured using a highly sensitive two-site sandwich ELISA. The severity of coronary atherosclerosis was defined by the Gensini score system. The statistical methods including Kruskal-Wallis test, chi-square analysis, Spearman correlation analysis, and multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis were employed to explore the relationship between specific insulin level and coronary atherosclerosis.Results: When the Gensini score was examined as a categorical variable classified by tertile values, subjects with a high
