“…All serum samples were obtained in the fasting state. Measurements of lipids (total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C and TG) were carried out at the Special Research Laboratories (SRL Tokyo), where the lipid assay was controlled by the CDC Lipid Standardization Program (33). Serum cholesterol and TG were measured enzymatically.…”

Low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) has long been used as an important predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD), although HDL-C values themselves are influenced by various factors including serum triglyceride (TG) levels, obesity, and life style. In view of the importance of the metabolic syndrome as a risk factor of CAD, changes in HDL-C and other lipid parameters in the Japanese population associated with life style, especially in males, were analyzed in this study based on data obtained in an epidemiological survey carried out in 1990. Smokers had higher TG and lower HDL-C levels than nonsmokers, while BMI and LDL-C were slightly decreased by smoking in middle-aged men (40-59 years old). Increases in both HDL-C and TG due to alcohol consumption were associated with an increase in BMI in younger men aged 20-39. In middle-aged men, significant increases in HDL-C were seen in every quintile of BMI, while the increase in TG levels due to alcohol was small. Middle-aged men engaged in occupations requiring greater physical activity also had higher HDL-C levels in every quintile of BMI. The influence of life style on serum lipid parameters appeared to be mostly expressed as a function of BMI in younger men, while it appeared to be independent of BMI in older men.

“…Lipid measurements were standardized according to the criteria of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Lipid Standardization Program. 15 Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol was computed by the Friedewald formula using the equation (LDL=total cholesterol−[HDL+TG/5]). 16 Fasting cortisol was analyzed by γ radioimmunoassay counter (GC-911) in the Endocrinology Institute.…”

Association of Suboptimal Health Status and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Urban Chinese Workers

Suboptimal health status (SHS) has become a new public health challenge in urban China. Despite indications that SHS may be associated with progression or development of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, there are few reports on SHS investigations. To explore the relationship between SHS and traditional cardiovascular risk factors, a cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 4,881 workers employed in 21 companies in urban Beijing. Blood pressure, glucose, lipid levels (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol, lowdensity lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol and triglycerides), cortisol, and body mass index were measured. SHS score was derived from data collection in the SHS questionnaire (SHSQ-25). Univariate analysis and linear two-level model were used to analyze the association of SHS with the cardiovascular risk factors. Serum cortisol level was much higher among the SHS high-score group than that among the low SHS score group (204.31 versus 161.33 ng/ml, PG0.001). In a linear two-level model, we found correlation between SHS and systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, plasma glucose, total cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol among men, and correlation between SHS and systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and HDL cholesterol among women after controlling for age, education background, occupation, smoking, and physical activity. SHS is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease. SHS should be recognized in the health care system, especially in primary care.

“…Venous blood samples for biochemical analysis were performed at a central laboratory (Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital), which was standardized according to the criteria of the Centers for Disease Control -National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Lipid Standardization Program. 13 Definition Hypertension is defined, according to the WHO guidelines, as systolic blood pressure (SBP) X140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) X90 mm Hg, and/or use of antihypertensive medication or previously diagnosed hypertension. Hypercholesterolemia is defined as fasting serum cholesterol X6.2 mmol/l and/or treatment with lipid-lowering drugs during the previous 2 weeks.…”

Obesity indices and cardiovascular risk factors in Thai adults

Objective: To examine the relationship of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHpR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) with cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes in Thai population. Design: A national cross-sectional survey of cardiovascular risk factors. Subjects: Five thousand and three hundred five Thai adults aged X35 years. Measurements: Body weight, height, waist and hip circumference and cardiovascular risk factors including blood pressure, total plasma cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, triglyceride and fasting plasma glucose were measured. Age-and sex-specific means and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors were calculated and compared among anthropometric measurements. Results: There were increasing trends of severity of cardiovascular risk factors and prevalence of morbidity conditions across increasing levels of BMI, WC, WHpR and WHtR categories. For age group X65 years, WC, WHpR and WHtR provided more consistent association with cardiovascular risk factors than BMI. Area under the curve indicated that measurement of central obesity could predict cardiovascular risk better than BMI. The optimal cutoff points for anthropometric measurements were in line with the Asia-Pacific recommendation; however, similar cutoff point for men and women between 82 and 85 cm was observed. Conclusion: Central obesity indices were slightly better associated with cardiovascular risk factors compared to BMI in Thai adults aged X35 years.
