ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) and progressive pancreatic β-cell dysfunction have been identified as the two fundamental features in the pathogenesis of obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. We aimed to investigate correlations between anthropometric indices of obesity ...

Abstract Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients should receive cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment. For this purpose CV risk calculators are available. In addition, parameters of vascular function can be measured and used for risk prediction. Aim of the present study was to assess the associatio...

RESUMO: Objetivo: Identificar áreas e fatores de risco para a mortalidade causada por doenças cardiovasculares (DC) associados à poluição do ar proveniente da alta exposição ao tráfego. Métodos: Estudo transversal da mortalidade por DC em 2.617 indivíduos de 45 a 85 anos residentes na zona ...
Abstract Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is especially prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Objective: To evaluate the role of CKD and metabolic syndrome (MS), which is a cluster of risk factors for CVD, as predictors of CVD. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional study...
The life expectancy of patients with schizophrenia (SCH) is 11 to 20 years less than the general population. There is an association between SCH and various diseases and chronic conditions, highlighting the cardio-metabolic diseases. This association has been attributed to the use of antipsychotics, howe...
Summary Objective: To characterize the maximum P-wave duration (Pmax) and P-wave dispersion (PWD) according to blood pressure (BP) and uric acid (UA) levels in geriatric patients. Method: An analytical study was performed in 83 patients aged over 60 years treated at the Family Medical Office 5 of the A...
ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested in the literature that periodontal disease (PD) is associated with cardiovascular risk. The objective of this study was to appraise the relationship between periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) and traditional cardiovascular risk facto...
