Cardiovascular risk in Japanese-Brazilian subjects

Abstract: Objective:To evaluate the prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Japanese--Brazilian subjects. Subjects and methods: One hundred thirty-one residents of the Mombuca community were studied. Statistical analysis was based on the X 2 test, Fisher's Exact test, Student's t test, and ANOVA, at a 5% significance level. Results: The average age was 56.7 years-old; 76.3% had dyslipidemia, 24.4% pre-diabetes (PDM), 10.7% type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 46.6% hypertension, 52.7% abdominal obesity, and… Show more

“…Considering the differences between these two populations with regard to age structure and living conditions, which influence life expectancy, it is worth noting that overweight appears in that Spanish population in later decades compared to the studied Japanese-Brazilian population. Other studies with Japanese-Brazilians also report high overweight and obesity prevalence in young adults [7, 23]. Therefore, this population needs to be sensitized and closely monitored by the health sector because individuals with obesity are three to four times more likely to develop cardiometabolic problems compared to those at normal weight [24].…”

“…One study was conducted only on female participants (27). Eight studies used the NCEP-ATP III criteria for diagnosing metabolic syndrome (27,32,33,(37)(38)(39)(40)(41); three the criteria of the IDF (28,35,36); ten studies used International Diabetes Federation Task Force on Epidemiology and Prevention; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; American Heart Association; World Heart Federation; International Atherosclerosis Society; and International Association for the Study of Obesit (IDF/NHLBI/AHA/WHF/IAS/ IASO) (23-25, 29-31, 34, 42-44); two studies used Joint Interim Statement (JIS) criteria for diagnosing (26,45); one study used NCEP ATP III and IDF criteria (7); one study used modi ed NCEP, IDF and JIS criteria for diagnosing MetS (6); one study did not make clear which criteria it used for the diagnosis of MetS (46). The studies selected in this systematic review comprised 84,522 subjects, 57.5% of whom were women and 42.5% men.…”
