The effects of an acute bout of whole-body vibration on pulse wave velocity in individuals with SCI
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality in the spinal cord injured (SCI) population. Reduced arterial compliance is a cardiovascular risk factor and whole body vibration (WBV) has be en shown to improve arterial compliance in able-bodied individuals. The study investigated the effect …

The Relationship between Resting Metabolic Rate and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in the Obesity
… Based on the theory that obesity has a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, we studied whether obesity presents lower RMR after adjusting weight and height. And we also examined the relationship between RMR and cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: The study population consisted of 39 women …

Fetuin-A als Risikomarker bei Patienten mit Niereninsuffizienz : Nephelometrie als neues Nachweisverfahren bei Risikokollektiven
The cardiovascular mortality rate in the dialysis population is dramatically increased compared to the population without renal failure. This increased mortality rate occurs because of so called "accelerated artherosclerosis", which is partially attributed to the increased calcium-phosphate-product …

Modelling multiple disease risk factors for microsimulation studies
… and compare health policies to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. This requires simulating realistic trajectories of multiple risk factors for a synthetic population. A variety of methods have been used to model the progression through time of multiple disease risk factors, such as blood …
