Cholesterol Levels

Introduction: Stroke risk factors are related to the circumstances of a person's health status, namely hypercholesterolemia (excess cholesterol levels) and hypertension (high blood pressure).Methods: A correlative descriptive analytic observational study using cross sectional approach. The number of samples taken is as many as 62 people using the Slovinformula..Statistical analysis uses Sperman Rank Test and Linear regression test.Results: The results of this study indicate that the total cholesterol level of patients from 62 samples found that normal cholesterol levels amounted to 29 people (46.8%) consisting of 12 people (19.4%) with SH and 17 people ( 27.4%) with SNH and high cholesterol levels totaling 33 people (53.2%) divided into 7 people (11.3%) with SH and 26 people (42%) with SNH. There is a significant correlation between blood cholesterol levels with stroke incidence in statistical tests with p value 0,004 (p<0,05), there is a significant correlation between hypertension and stroke events withp value 0,031(p<0,05)there is no significant correlation between blood cholesterol levels and hypertension in statistical tests withp value 0,129 (p>0,05) and by using Linear regression test obtained that the correlation between blood cholesterol levels with a value of mean value hypertension  0.453 and mean 0.994 so that the most dominant with the incidence of stroke was hypertension.Conclusions: Have nothing to do with hypertension, it can be concluded here that stroke is caused by hypertension. The Suggestion is hypertension’s not only caused by cholesterol levels but there are other triggers that cause it.

Background: Several studies have reported elevated blood cholesterol levels among persons who regularly smoke cigarettes and lowered blood cholesterol levels among persons quitting smoking. Other studies have also shown that smoking lowers high density lipoprotein level, resulting in an increased risk of coronary heart disease. Smoking also leads to increase in LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The objective was to study serum lipid profile in smokers and non-smokers.Methods: A cross sectional comparative study was carried in 100 subjects. The subjects were divided into two groups. First group consisted of 25 nonsmokers and second group of 75 smokers. The group of 75 smokers was again divided into three equal sub groups of 25 each depending upon the duration and intensity of smoking. Concentration of serum total cholesterol and HDL was determined by Zak’s method. Concentration of serum LDL and VLDL cholesterol was determined by Friedwald’s formula. Concentration of serum triglyceride level was determined by enzymatic end point peroxidase coupled method.Results: All the values of lipid profile i.e., total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL were found to be significantly higher among the smokers compared to the non-smokers. HDL value was significantly lower among smokers. As the degree of smoking increased from mild to heavy smokers, the values of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and VLDL increased. The degree of smoking was inversely proportional to HDL values i.e., the HDL value decreased as the smoking degree increased.Conclusions: Thus, it can be said based on the present study that smoking affects and deranges the lipid profile of the person.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which functional ability was associated with dietary intake in community-living seniors with some activity limitation. In this cross-sectional survey, 145 seniors were recruited from 15 recreation, day programs or seniors' apartment complexes. Dietary intake was assessed with a food frequency questionnaire and evaluated for adequacy with a Diet Score. An Activity Score was derived from 15 questions on basic and instrumental activities of daily living. Demographic, health, psychosocial, functional and behavioural factors that could influence diet intake were measured with standardized, validated scales. Diet Score was significantly and positively associated with income, hearing, education, satisfaction with use of time, number of medications and age. Activity Score, the belief that health affects activity level, shopping behaviour and smoking were negatively and significantly associated with Diet Score. Many factors influence the dietary intake of seniors, including extent of functional limitations. This analysis suggests that the most dependent seniors living in the community consume better diets than those seniors with few limitations; this finding is probably a result of informal and formal support services for these functionally dependent seniors.

The restriction of sodium intake, one of the pillars of antihypertensive treatment, has been associated with the increase in cholesterol levels. Given this, we hypothesize that a sodium intake restriction may increase cholesterol levels in hypertensive women. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of sodium intake, sociodemographic, lifestyle and anthropometric variables on the blood cholesterol levels of hypertensive women. This was a cross-sectional study with hypertensive and nondiabetic women aged 20 to 59 years, recruited from the primary healthcare units of Maceio, Alagoas, in the Brazilian Northeast. Sodium intake was estimated by the 24-hour urinary excretion of sodium; and blood cholesterol was estimated by capillary blood. Age (years), education level (<4 or ≥4 years), race (white or nonwhite), smoking and alcohol consumption were evaluated. The weight, height and waist circumference were measured and body mass index, conicity index and waist-to-height ratio were quantified. The percentage of body fat was measured using a tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance device. The relationship between blood cholesterol and other variables was assessed by multiple regression analysis. A significance level of 5% was used in the final model. This study included 165 hypertensive women. In linear regression, blood cholesterol wasdirectly proportional to age (p<0.001), education level (p=0.01) and race (p=0.04). These variables, as well assodium intake (p = 0.07) and conicity index (p = 0.12), were included in the multiple regression analysis. Sodium intake (p=0.03) and age (p=0.001) were related, in an inverse and a direct way, respectively, to the blood cholesterol in the hypertensive women studied.

Aim: to estimate the associations between employment status, functional and cognitive status, physical health, and geriatric syndromes in women aged 55–64. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study included 250 women aged 55 to 64 years. Sociodemographic factors, functional and cognitive status, health status, risk factors for chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCD), and presence of NCD were analyzed. The prevalence of changes indicative of geriatric syndromes was estimated. Results. The study included 250 women aged 55–64 years (mean age 59.3 ± 2.9 years). Risk factors (RF) for NCD were identified in all subjects. Abdominal obesity and lipid metabolism disorders (increased blood cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterol levels) were the most common RFs for NCD. The incidence of dyslipidemia as RF NCD was 94%. CVD, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, gastrointestinal tract (GIT), varicose veins of the lower extremities, and endocrine pathology prevailed in NCD. In women aged 55–64 years, aging increases the likelihood that a woman will not work by 2.5 times, using ≥two assistive devices — 2 times, the presence of urinary incontinence/ leakage — 2.3 times, probable depression — 2.7 times. Conclusion: geriatric syndromes are primarily associated with a decrease in functional activity in women aged 55-64 years; this association is associated with socio-demographic, economic factors, and health status (the presence of FRs for NCD and NCD themselves).

Working Correlation

When using repeated measures linear regression models to make causal inference in laboratory, clinical and environmental research, it is often assumed that the Within Subject association of differences (or changes) in predictor value across replicates is the same as the Between Subject association of differences in those predictor values. But this is often false, for example with body weight as the predictor and blood cholesterol the outcome i) a 10 pound weight increase in the same adult more greatly a higher increase in cholesterol in that adult than does ii) one adult weighing 10 pounds more than a second reflect increased cholesterol levels in the first adult as the weigh difference in i) more closely tracks higher body fat while that in ii) is also influenced by heavier adults being taller. Hence to make causal inferences, different Within and Between subject slopes should be separately modeled. A related misconception commonly made using generalized estimation equations (GEE) and mixed models (MM) on repeated measures (i.e. for fitting Cross Sectional Regression) is that the working correlation structure used only influences variance of model parameter estimates. But only independence working correlation guarantees the modeled parameters have any interpretability. We illustrate this with an example where changing working correlation from independence to equicorrelation qualitatively biases parameters of GEE models and show this happens because Between and Within Subject slopes for the predictor variables differ. We then describe several common mechanisms that cause Within and Between Subject slopes to differ as; change effects, lag/reverse lag and spillover causality, shared within subject measurement bias or confounding, and predictor variable measurement error. The misconceptions noted here should be better publicized in laboratory, clinical and environmental research. Repeated measures analyses should compare Within and Between subject slopes of predictors and when they differ, investigate the reasons this has happened.

Moderating Role

Abstract. Background: According to the strain theory of suicide, strains, resulting from conflicting and competing pressures in an individual's life, are hypothesized to precede suicide. But social support is an important factor that can mitigate strains and lessen their input in suicidal behavior. Aims: This study was designed to assess the moderating role of social support in the relation between strain and suicidality. Methods: A sample of 1,051 employees were recruited in Beijing, the capital of China, through an online survey. Moderation analysis was performed using SPSS PROCESS Macro. Social support was measured with the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and strains were assessed with the Psychological Strains Scale. Results: Psychological strains are a good predictor of suicidality, and social support, a basic need for each human being, moderates and decreases the effects of psychological strains on suicidality. Limitations: The cross-sectional survey limited the extent to which conclusions about causal relationships can be drawn. Furthermore, the results may not be generalized to the whole of China because of its diversity. Conclusion: Social support has a tendency to mitigate the effects of psychological strains on suicidality.

Abstract. Applicant job pursuit intentions impact the composition of an organization’s applicant pool, thereby influencing selection outcomes. An example is the self-selection of women and men into gender-congruent jobs. Such self-selection contributes to a lack of gender diversity across a variety of occupations. We use person-job fit and the role congruity perspective of social role theory to explore job pursuit intentions. We present research from two cross-sectional survey studies (520 students, 174 working adults) indicating that at different points in their careers women and men choose to pursue gender-congruent jobs. For students, the choice was mediated by value placed on the job’s associated gender-congruent outcomes, but for working adults it was not. We offer suggestions for practitioners and researchers.
