ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the association of the neck circumference with cardiometabolic risk factors and the Framingham risk score. Methods The study was a cross-sectional population-based one with 948 adults (522 women) aged 20–59 years. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, body composition, behavioral, biochemical, and hemodynamic factors were evaluated. The association between neck circumference, anthropometric variables, body composition and cardiometabolic risk factors was evaluated by multiple linear regression, adjusted for sociodemographic and behavioral factors. Results Are presented as β coefficients, standard errors, and 95% confidence intervals with a 0.05 significance level. The neck circumference was positively associated with triglycerides, insulin resistance index, uric acid, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, C-reactive protein, waist circumference, body mass index and total body fat estimated by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The neck circumference and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were negatively associated, even after adjustment for sociodemographic and behavioral factors. Individuals with a neck circumference below the cut-off point to predicting cardiometabolic risks, 39.5cm for men and 33.3cm for women, had lower probability of having a coronary event in 10 years compared to those with a neck circumference above the cut-off point. Conclusion Neck circumference is an alternative measure to estimate body fat and as an additional marker to screen for cardiovascular risk diseases.

Subclinical Cvd

Introduction: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) has been identified as an independent predictor of coronary events, suggesting the potential use of CAC for risk assessment in asymptomatic individuals. However, ionizing radiation exposure associated with CAC CT scans remains a concern. If elevated risk for developing subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) could be identified based on less invasive risk assessment, such as the Framingham risk score, intensified prevention and screening services could be provided to this targeted population. Hypothesis: This study aims to assess the association between the Framingham risk score in early adulthood and subsequent subclinical CVD measured by CAC. Additional risk factors including demographics, socioeconomic status and health behaviors were tested in terms of their capabilities to enhance prediction of subclinical CVD beyond the Framingham risk score. Methods: This study used the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) data, with a total of 5,115 Caucasian and African American males and females. Information collected at examination year 10 was used to calculate the Framingham risk score. CAC was measured ten years later (examination year 20). Participants’ demographics, health behaviors (alcohol consumption, BMI, and exercise), socioeconomic status and medical needs at year 10 were identified as potential risk factors associated with the subsequent presence of CAC beyond the Framingham risk score. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the adjusted association between CAC, Framingham risk score and proposed risk factors. Model comparison was estimated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and Akaike information criterion (AIC). Results: By year 20, CAC was present in 19% of the CARDIA population. The Framingham risk score in young adulthood was strongly associated with the subsequent presence of CAC ten years later, regardless of race and gender. Overall, 42% of the CARDIA participants with elevated Framingham risk scores at year 10 had CAC at year 20, compared to 16% of participants with normal scores. The Framingham risk score may underestimate the risk of CAC for males compared to females (Negative Predictive Value: 75% vs. 91%). Beyond the Framingham risk score, the subsequent presence of CAC was associated with being overweight or obese in all populations, at-risk alcohol consumption in African American males, and having high school level or lower education and financial hardship in African American females. Conclusions: Our findings support the potential use of the Framingham risk score as a screening tool for subsequent subclinical atherosclerosis in a young adult population. However, other gender-specific risk factors beyond the Framingham risk score such as obesity also may be important to better predict subclinical CVD risk, especially in male populations.

Starting Point

We hypothesized that risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) would be associated with worse health perceptions in prison inmates. This study included 362 inmates recruited from four medium security prisons in Kentucky. Framingham Risk Score was used to estimate the risk of developing CVD within the next 10 years. A single item on self-rated health from the Medical Outcomes Survey–Short Form 36 was used to measure health perception. Multinomial logistic regression showed that for every 1-unit increase in Framingham Risk Score, inmates were 23% more likely to have rated their health as fair/poor and 11% more likely to rate their health as good rather than very good/excellent. These findings demonstrate that worse health perceptions may serve as a starting point for discussing cardiovascular risk factors and prevention with inmates.

Abstract Background Nephritis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a factor contributing to early development of atherosclerosis (AS). Objectives The aim of the study is to determine differences in cardiovascular risk factors and AS in SLE pts with and without lupus nephritis (LN). Methods The study included 162 females, age 35 [26–43] years (median [interquartile range 25–75%])) with SLE (ACR,1997). We divided SLE pts on two groups, comparable in age: the 1st group is the pts with LN (n=84, 52%), the 2nd - without LN (n=78, 48%). We considered traditional factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD): (smoking, family history of CVD, blood pressure, cholesterol (total, HDL, LDL) and triglyceride (TG) levels, body mass index, diabetes mellitus) and SLE-related factors (age at onset, duration, clinical features, SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K) and the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics damage index (SLICC/DI), treatment with steroids); intima-media thickness (IMT) and the 10-year risk for coronary events. Carotid intima-media wall thickness of common carotid arteries was measured by high resolution B-mode ultrasound. The 10-year risk for coronary events was estimated by the Framingham risk equation. Results Median SLE duration was 8,0 [2,3–17,0] years, SLEDAI 2K – 8 [3–16], SLICC/DI score – 2 [0–3], duration of prednisone treatment – 72 [26–141] months. SLE pts from the 1st group had higher prevalence of hypertension (61% vs 36%, p<0,01), systolic blood pressure (130 [110–150] vs 120 [110–130]mm Hg, p<0,01), diastolic blood pressure (80 [70–95] vs 70 [70–80] mm Hg, p<0,05), TG concentration (136 [98–184] vs 100 [61–162] mg/dl, p<0,01), Framingham Risk Score (5 [1–30] vs 1 [1–27]%, p<0,05), SLEDAI-2K (12 [5–19] vs 4 [2–10], p<0,ehz745.08501), SLICC/DI score (2 [0–4] vs 0 [0–2], p<0,01), prednisone therapy duration (95 [26–192] vs 44 [14–98] months, p<0,05), prednisone cumulative dose (34,4 [13,6–82,5] vs 15,7 [6,2–35,2] g, p<0,001), mean IMT (0,73 [0,65–0,83] vs 0,67 [0,61–0,75] mm, p<0,01), than the pts from the 2nd group. There is no difference in CVD frequency in these groups (17% vs 8%, p=0,084). Conclusions SLE patients with and without LN had no difference in frequency of clinical manifestations of AS (CVD), but had a greater value of mean IMT, Framingham Risk Score and a higher incidence of both traditional (hypertension, TG concentration) and SLE-related (disease activity, prednisone therapy) risk factors for AS.

BackgroundThe aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors and establish the proportion of people with psychosis meeting criteria for the metabolic syndrome (MetS). The study also aimed to identify the key lifestyle behaviours associated with increased risk of the MetS and to investigate whether the MetS is associated with illness severity and degree of functional impairment.MethodBaseline data were collected as part of a large randomized controlled trial (IMPaCT RCT). The study took place within community mental health teams in five Mental Health NHS Trusts in urban and rural locations across England. A total of 450 randomly selected out-patients, aged 18–65 years, with an established psychotic illness were recruited. We ascertained the prevalence rates of cardiometabolic risk factors, illness severity and functional impairment and calculated rates of the MetS, using International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and National Cholesterol Education Program Third Adult Treatment Panel criteria.ResultsHigh rates of cardiometabolic risk factors were found. Nearly all women and most men had waist circumference exceeding the IDF threshold for central obesity. Half the sample was obese (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2) and a fifth met the criteria for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Females were more likely to be obese than males (61% v. 42%, p < 0.001). Of the 308 patients with complete laboratory measures, 57% (n = 175) met the IDF criteria for the MetS.ConclusionsIn the UK, the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with psychotic illnesses is much higher than that observed in national general population studies as well as in most international studies of patients with psychosis.
