Introduction. There is an increasing interest in the association between erectile dysfunction (ED) and cardiovascular risk factor. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with insulin resistance, increased cardiometabolic risk, and coronary artery disease. Our aim was to investigate relationships between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) as a cardiometabolic risk factor and erectile dysfunction.Method. We selected 30 erectile dysfunction patients without comorbidities and 30 healthy individuals. IIEF-5 score was applied to all patients, and IIEF-5 score below 22 was considered as erectile dysfunction. EFT was measured by echocardiography.Results. Body mass index (BMI) was higher in ED patients than those without ED (28.19 ± 4.45 kg/m2versus23.84±2.36 kg/m2,P = 0.001, resp.). Waist circumstance (WC) was higher in ED patients than those without ED (106.60±5.90versus87.86 ± 14.51,P = 0.001, resp.). EFT was higher in ED patients compared to non-ED patients (0.49 ± 0.09 cm versus0.45 ± 0.03 cm,P = 0.016, resp.). There was positive correlation among BMI, WC, and EFT. There was negative correlation between EFT and IIEF-5 score (r : -0.632,P = 0.001).Conclusion. EAT, BMI, and WC as cardiometabolic risk factors were higher in erectile dysfunction patients.

Objective: Cardiometabolic risk factors have been extensively studied in adults, but to a lesser extent in adolescents. We assessed potential cardiometabolic risk factors in a large cohort of adolescent blood donors. Methods: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA 1c ), blood pressure (BP), and total cholesterol were measured in 10,756 blood donors aged 16-19 years at school blood drives conducted by Carter BloodCare, a large North Texas blood center. Borderline values were defined as HbA 1c 5.7-6.4%, BP (systolic/diastolic) 120-139/80-89 mm Hg, and total cholesterol 170-199 mg/dL. Elevated values were defined as HbA 1c ≥6.5%, BP ≥140/90, and total cholesterol ≥200 mg/dL. Subjects were classified into one of three subcohorts: (A) no borderline or elevated values (“healthy” subcohort); (B) one borderline value; (C) either two borderline values or one elevated value. The subcohorts were further stratified as shown in the Table. Results: Of the 10,756 blood donors, 35.2% had one borderline cardiometabolic risk factor, and 17.9% had either two borderline or one elevated risk factor. There were more girls than boys in the “healthy” subcohort (p<0.0001). Girls had a higher prevalence of borderline or elevated total cholesterol (p<0.0001), whereas boys had higher prevalence of borderline or elevated BP (p<0.0001). Other differences between subcohorts are summarized in the Table. Conclusion: More than half of adolescents in this study had at least one cardiometabolic risk factor that was either borderline or elevated. Blood donation programs can serve as highly efficient and cost-effective gateways for cardiometabolic risk screening in adolescents, with potential for the development of targeted interventions aimed at promoting healthy behaviors early in life, specifically among those at increased risk.

Abstract BackgroundAccumulating data have highlighted the prominence of supplementation as an effective approach for vitamin D deficiency. But individuals vary in their response to vitamin D supplementation. In this study, the effect of cardiometabolic risk factors were evaluate on magnitude of response to vitamin D supplementation by using novel statistical analysis, artificial neural networks(ANNs).Methods608 participants aged between 12 to 19 years old were assed in this prospective interventional study. Nine vitamin D capsules containing 50000IU vitamin D/weekly were given to all participants over the 9 week period. The change in serum 25(OH)D level was calculated as the difference between post-supplementation and basal levels. Suitable ANNs model were selected between different algorithms in the hidden and output layers and different numbers of neurons in the hidden layer. Then, the major determinants in predicting response to vitamin D supplementations were identified (Trial registration: IRCT201509047117N7; 2015-11-25; Retrospectively registered)ResultsSigmoid in both hidden and output layers with 4 hidden neurons had acceptable sensitivity, specificity and accuracy area under the ROC curve in our study. Baseline serum vitamin D (30.4%), waist to hip ratio (10.5%), BMI (10.5%), systolic blood pressure (8%), heart rate (6.4%), and waist circumference (6.1%) were the greatest importance in predicting the response in serum vitamin D levels. ConclusionWe provide the first attempt to relate anthropometric specific recommendations to attain serum vitamin D targets. With the exception of cardiometabolic risk factor, the relative importance of other factors and the mechanisms by which these factors may affect the response requires further analysis in future studies.

Abstract Objectives To assess the effect of breakfast egg intake, vs. energy-matched carbohydrate (CHO)-based foods, on insulin sensitivity and markers of cardiometabolic health in adults at-risk for type 2 diabetes. Methods Overweight or obese adults with prediabetes and/or metabolic syndrome were included in this randomized crossover study consisting of two 4-wk dietary intervention periods, separated by a ≥4 wk washout. During each intervention, subjects consumed study products containing either 2 eggs/d for 6 d/wk (12 eggs/wk) or energy-matched CHO-based foods for breakfast. Percent changes from baseline were assessed for insulin sensitivity; CHO metabolism; lipid metabolism, including lipoprotein lipids, subfactions and particle sizes; high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP); and blood pressures (BP). Results Overall, 30 subjects (11 male; 19 female) with mean age of 53.5 ± 1.9 y and body mass index (BMI) of 31.9 ± 0.7 kg/m2 provided evaluable data. Median low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) decreased by 6.0% from a baseline of 119 mg/dL after 4-wk intake of the CHO breakfast foods, which was larger than the 2.9% reduction during the egg condition (P = 0.023 between diets). Mean systolic blood pressure was reduced significantly more during the egg condition vs. the CHO condition (2.7% vs. 0.0%, respectively, P = 0.018) from a baseline value of 127 mmHg. None of the other cardiometabolic risk factor parameters showed significant differences in response between diet conditions. Conclusions Intake of 12 eggs/wk for breakfast, vs. energy matched CHO-based foods, did not adversely affect the cardiometabolic risk factor profile in men and women at risk for diabetes.
