Coronary risk factors in women in the United Kingdom
Coronary heart disease (CHD) has traditionally been regarded as a male disease and, because of this, the magnitude of the problem in women is often overlooked. Yet, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CHD in particular, remains, next to cancer, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women. …

Comparisation of different methods of categorization for physical activity on coronary heart disease risk factors
… and those who are more active have a reduced risk of developing many chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the amount, type and intensity of PA deemed to be sufficient to achieve good health remains unclear. Different methods have been used to categorise activity …

Adiposity and Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury: Relationships With Activities of Daily Living, Secondary Complications, and Subjective Well-Being
… thesis was to examine coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors and secondary complications in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). In particular, this thesis was organized around the central theme of adiposity, which is a prevalent complication following SCI. Study 1 focused on …

The major risk factors for coronary artery disease in the Coloureds of the Cape Peninsula : The CRISIC Study
A cross-sectional study of risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) in a random sample of 976 coloured people revealed a population greatly at risk of CHD. The major reversible risk factors were very common: 57% of men and 41% of women smoked, 17,2% of men and 18,4% of women were hypertensive …

Genomics of lipid metabolism: Identification of genetic determinants of lipid metabolites and the effect of perturbations of lipid levels on coronary heart disease risk factors
Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and global mortality rates are expected to continue to rise over the coming decades. In Pakistan in particular, chronic diseases are responsible for 50% of the total disease burden. Circulating lipids are …

Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors in Schoolchildren Aged 12 to 13 Years of Differing Socio-Economic Status
… years were assessed for coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors. Rural (school 1) and valley (school 2) comprehensive schools (age range 11 to 18 years) were selected to represent differing socio-economic status (SES). Informed written consent was sought from head teachers, parents, and …

Associations of Persistent Organic Pollutants Exposure with Coronary Heart Disease and Hearing Loss
… chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease (CHD) and hearing loss, potentially through inflammatory pathways. Inflammation is a key biological mechanism in the development of CHD, and several traditional CHD risk factors are also associated with hearing loss. We examined the cross-sectional …

Effects of dietary fat saturation on lipoprotein metabolism in rodents and humans
… data suggested no additional adverse effects on CHD risk factors compared with Hi-LM diet.</p> <p> Carbohydrates are generally considered a safe replacement for SFA. We used a hamster model to evaluate the extent to which the amount and type of SFA affect lipoproteins. Diets were formulated such …

Characteristics of Milk and Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese from Cows Fed Extruded Soybeans and Niacin
… of the dairy market. Coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors played a major role in setting these new dietary guidelines. Greater than 500,000 deaths are blamed on CHD each year in the United States (Ney, 1991). Atherosclerosis is a disease in which lipids and cholesterol accumulate on the …

Zinc adequacy in the UK population
… revised DRVs to NDNS data demonstrated that the risk of inadequate zinc intake for many subgroups of the UK population was higher than estimates of risk made on the basis of the existing DRVs. ‘Inadequate Zn intake’ was associated with a poorer quality diet and the selection of a diet of low Zn …

Lipoprotein(a) and the risk of vascular disease
… its relationship with coronary heart disease (CHD) has not been characterized in sufficient detail. Whether Lp(a) causes CHD is not clear. Furthermore, the role of apo(a) isoform variation and other sources of Lp(a) heterogeneity (e.g., level of oxidized phospholipids) in Lp(a)-disease …

Physiological Adaptations to the Metabolic Syndrome Following Exercise Training and Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation
Despite reduced levels of coronary heart disease (CHD), mortality statistics remain a worldwide concern. Interacting risk factors appear to underlie CHD development, of which insulin resistance may be a central theme. This may be particularly relevant to higher mortality levels evident in British …
