The Role of n-3 Fatty Acids in Cardiometabolic Risk
… were compared of fish oil and krill oil on cardiometabolic profiles of a cohort of men with metabolic syndrome, using anthropometric measurements, biochemical markers of cardiovascular health and assessments of food intake. Krill oil and fish oil at the doses used showed no overall …

CARBOHYDRATES, LIPIDS AND BIOMARKERS OF TRADITIONAL AND EMERGING CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK FACTORS
… fats (SFA) have differential effects on cardiometabolic (CM) risk by examining potential links between these macronutrients and surrogate markers of CM risk. This broad aim was approached by two studies. The first study undertook a secondary analysis of the National Diet and Nutrition …

Soft Tissue Composition, Cardiometabolic Risk, and Bone Development in Young Girls
… concern as excess adiposity increases the risk for developing metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes in adulthood. Far less attention has been focused on the effects of obesity during childhood on bone development. Obesity and skeletal fragility have been …

Epidemiological studies of the aetiological associations between nutritional biomarkers and cardiometabolic risk factors in Cameroon
… associations of these biomarkers with metabolic risk factors exploring the possibility of both linear and non-linear associations and adjusting for a wide range of potential confounders. Circulating folate and carotenoids, which are associated with intake of fruits and vegetables, showed an …

Functional validation of human rare missense variants associated with body fat distribution and cardiometabolic risk
… body fat distribution and with protection from cardiometabolic disease, while a variant in gene PNPLA2 (p.N252K) was associated with an adverse phenotype (1). To understand the roles of these genes, initial loss-of-function studies were carried out using siRNA-mediated knockdown in 3T3-L1 …

Comparison of Anthropometric Measurements of Abdominal Obesity as Predictors of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: NHANES 2011-2014
… been well established that screening tools for cardiometabolic diseases are less useful among obese populations as risk of these diseases is already high. However, research is lacking in regard to efficient screening tools for cardiometabolic diseases among normal weight and overweight …

Combined associations of diet quality, physical activity, and their changes over time with cardiometabolic risk and mortality
… each been shown to be inversely associated with cardiometabolic diseases (CMD), their risk factors, and mortality. However, their combined impact on health outcomes has been less explored, particularly when considering their changes over time. To draw public health messages that can be widely …

Associations of the Limb Fat to Trunk Fat Ratio With Markers of Cardiometabolic Risk in Elderly Men and Women
… trunk fat (LF/TF) is associated with markers of cardiometabolic risk in elderly men and women. However, it is unknown if LF/TF is associated with cardiometabolic risk beyond that explained by LF and TF independently. Objective: To determine if LF/TF is associated with markers of cardiometabolic …

Cardiometabolic risk in 10 to 11 year old children : the impacts of physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition and lifestyle education
… body composition and lifestyle education on cardiometabolic (CM) risk in 10-11 year old children. This broad aim was approached using three studies. Studies 1 and 2 were cross sectional observational studies, and study 3 was a clustered randomised control trial, with intervention effects …

A longitudinal study of fat mass accrual from adolescence through to emerging adulthood and its impact on cardiometabolic risk later in life
… linked with cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk (CMR) at every stage of life. The prevalence of OWO nearly doubles in Canadians between childhood/adolescence and adulthood, suggesting that normal weight (NW) status is not stable through the life course and that there is a period in adulthood …

The Relationship between Cardiometabolic Disorders and Schizophrenia: From Early-Life Origins to the Development of a Cardiometabolic Risk Prediction Algorithm for Young People with Psychosis
… considers the theme of comorbidity between cardiometabolic disorders and schizophrenia by focussing on three key aspects: the nature of association between cardiometabolic disorders and schizophrenia; the potential for common underlying biological mechanisms for the comorbidity; and the …

Cardiovascular Risk, Remote Ischemic Postconditioning, and Endothelial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
… heart disease. However, certain animal models of cardiometabolic risk factors such as dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension suggest the beneficial effects of rIpost to lessen reperfusion injury may be diminished. These findings have not been studied in clinically relevant humans. The aim of …

A comparative evaluation of surrogate measures of adiposity as indictors of cardiometabolic disease
… diabetes, and those at increased obesity-related cardiometabolic risk. In particular, it aimed to determine how useful surrogate measures of adiposity might be to identify high-risk patients within a clinical setting. Using a cross-sectional sample of 2,047 middle-aged men and women, the main …
