Impact of metabolic disorders on the relation between overweight/obesity and incident myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke in fertile women: a nationwide cohort study

Abstract

The risk of myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke was more strongly associated with the presence of metabolic disorders than with overweight per se in fertile women. Targeting prevention of metabolic disorders might be beneficial to reduce cardiovascular disease in overweight/obese young women.

Cerebral Vasospasms Following Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery for Pituitary Adenoma Resection in the Absence of Post-Operative Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

“…In addition to smoking, chronic hypertension has also been demonstrated to be an important risk factor for vasospasm most likely due to involved atherosclerosis [17]. Diabetes and obesity have been shown to have a strong association with an increased risk of ischemic stroke both independently and synergistically [2,18,19].…”

Stroke in women: Where are we in 2015?

“…Given that in the recent LOOK AHEAD trial, weight reduction failed to reduce CVD including stroke in diabetic women and men followed for a median of 9.6 years despite improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids [18], emphasis on weight reduction does not appear to be a good stroke prevention opportunity for women. Indeed, women are often told to lose weight rather than having risk factors addressed by healthcare providers [19]. Knowledge gap research should address understanding socio-cultural gender differences among healthcare providers with regard to body image and weight.…”

Assessment of triglyceride and cholesterol in overweight people based on multiple linear regression and artificial intelligence model

“…The high dyslipidaemia is an elevation of lipids in the blood, that is, elevation of triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC) and/or fat phospholipids. The elevated serum TG and/or TC are associated with a series of symptomatic vascular disease such as peripheral arterial and coronary artery disease, atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype, hypertension, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance, and [ 4 – 7 ]. High level of TG (>11.3 mmol/L]) can cause acute pancreatitis, the TG level serve as an important indicator to determine the prognosis of patients with acute biliary pancreatitis [ 8 , 9 ].…”
