Obesity is one of the risk factors of cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia has increased in the last few years, therefore some efforts to reduce the risk is needed. In the current study, efforts are given through 3-week lifestyle modification education, with 3-month total of follow-up (from March to June 2014) and then the impacts on cardiovascular risk profile were observed and seen on 24 sedentary male workers in University of Surabaya with obese II. This study used before-after study design in order to see the impacts of the 3-week lifestyle modification education towards change of knowledge, dietary behavior, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and cardiovascular risk profile through various educational methods (face-to-face session, given recorder of face-to-face session, and combination of both methods). Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon signed test. Result showed an increasing knowledge in face-to-face group (p=0.046). However, there were no significant changes in other variables (dietary behavior based on healthy diet indicator (HDI), BMI, waist circumference, and also cardiovascular risk profile) in all groups between before and after education intervention (p>0.05). In conclusion, lifestyle modification education given for 3 weeks did not reduce the cardiovascular risk profile on sedentary male workers with obese II. Longer term intervention and multicomponent program including behavior therapy may be needed to succeed lifestyle changes and reduce cardiovascular risk.Keywords: Behaviour, cardiovascular risk, education, knowledge, lifestyle modification Pengaruh Edukasi Gaya Hidup terhadap Perubahan Risiko Penyakit KardiovaskularAbstrakObesitas merupakan salah satu faktor risiko penyakit kardiovaskular. Prevalensi obesitas di Indonesia mengalami peningkatan beberapa tahun terakhir, sehingga diperlukan upaya untuk menguranginya. Pada penelitian ini, upaya dilakukan melalui pemberian edukasi gaya hidup yang dilakukan selama 3 minggu, dengan total follow-up sampai dengan 3 bulan dari bulan Maret hingga Juni 2014, kemudian dilihat dan diamati ada atau tidaknya penurunan risiko penyakit kardiovaskular pada 24 orang karyawan pria obese II di Universitas Surabaya. Penelitian ini memiliki rancangan before-after study design untuk menguji pengaruh edukasi gaya hidup yang diberikan selama 3 minggu terhadap variabel pengetahuan, perubahan perilaku, body mass index (BMI), lingkar perut, dan risiko penyakit kardiovaskular melalui berbagai metode pemberian edukasi (tatap muka, rekaman/recorder, dan kombinasi). Analisis dengan Wilcoxon signed test menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan hanya pada subgrup tatap muka (p=0,046). Tidak terdapat perubahan yang signifikan terhadap variabel lainnya (perubahan perilaku berdasarkan healthy diet indicator (HDI), BMI dan lingkar perut, serta risiko penyakit kardiovaskular) pada semua subgrup antara sebelum dan sesudah edukasi (p>0,05). Edukasi gaya hidup yang diberikan selama tiga minggu tidak memberikan penurunan risiko penyakit kardiovaskular pada karyawan pria obese II. Dibutuhkan intervensi jangka panjang dan program multikomponen yang memuat terapi perilaku untuk menyukseskan perubahan perilaku dan menurunkan risiko kardiovaskular.Kata kunci: Edukasi, gaya hidup, pengetahuan, perilaku, risiko kardiovaskular

Aim. To assess the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (RF) and dynamics over 4 years in locomotory crews.Material and methods. One hundred train drivers and assistants aged 25-59 y.o. (mean age — 43,8±10,3 y.) were investigated in-patient with 24 hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring, ultrasound Doppler of brachiocephalic arteries, standard biochemistry. Fifty three persons were assessed prospectively from 2013 to 2017 y.Results. BP increase (essential hypertension of I-II grades with mild or moderate hypertension) was found in 78 persons, with the mean duration — 10,4±4,3 years, and age of onset — 37,0±8,5 y.o. Most commonly, the dyslipidemiaswerefound:hypertriglyceridemiain59%,hypercholesterolemia in 44%. Smokers — 39%, overweight — 37%, obese — 41%. Correlational analysis revealed significant direct correlation of triglycerides with body mass index (r=0,35), with glucose tolerance disorder (r=0,22) and hypertension (r=0,22), however there was negative correlation with smoking status (r=-0,25). In patients with hypertension, aged 25-39 (n=18), comparing to the group with the none (n=22), there were significantly higher: body mass index, cholesterol level, triglycerides level and low density lipoproteideslevelwiththeabsenceofdifferenceinhighdensitylipoproteides, smoking prevalence and family anamnesis of cardiovascular diseases. In prospective follow-up the negative dynamics of lipid profile was found in males of 25-39 y.o., and morphological presentation — lesions in brachiocephalic arteries, at the age 40-49 y. with stabilization of parameters at the age 50-59 y.o. Mean group levels of systolic and diastolic BP at daytime and at night in both timepoints were within normotension range in all groups, corresponding to “non-dipper” type.Conclusion. Most prevalent RF in railway crews were dyslipidemia and obesity. The adequacy of therapy prescribed in all age strata makes it to regard the raise of BP as modifiable RF.

Hfe Mutation

14589 Background: TCS show an increased incidence of treatment-related cardiovascular disease. Standard chemotherapy (CT) may cause tissue damage by inducing free oxygen radicals through release of redox-active iron from body iron stores. HFE mutations associated with altered body iron load may therefore contribute to an increase in CT-induced free oxygen radicals and tissue damage. We investigated whether two HFE mutations (C282Y and H63D) are associated with cardiovascular risk profile in TCS. Methods: From a group of 90 TCS with a known cardiovascular status (JCO 2005; 23: 3718–25), genomic DNA for genotyping was available for 63 TCS (median (range) age at follow-up 35 y (24–54) and median follow-up duration 7 y (3–13)). Two HFE genotype groups were composed: HFE mutation (mut) (n = 19; any mutation C282Y and/or H63D) and HFE wild type (wt) (n = 44). Both groups were compared for cardiovascular risk profile, using Mann-Whitney U Test or Fisher’s Exact Test. Results: Groups had received comparable CT regimens. Body iron stores as reflected by plasma ferritin and transferrin saturation were not different for the HFE mut vs HFE wt group, respectively 104 μg/l (21–413) vs. 90 μg/l (22–569); p = 0.53 and 31% (20–49) vs. 30% (11–59); p = 0.15. Signs of vascular damage estimated by urinary albumin excretion and Von Willebrand factor levels were not significantly different: respectively 8.3 mg/24 h (4–165) vs. 7.7 mg/24 h (3–647); p = 0.90 and 90% (52–296) vs. 102% (28–235); p = 0.25. The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors obesity (BMI > 27.8 kg/m2), metabolic syndrome (NCEP ATP III-criteria) and hypertension (mean 24-h blood pressure >135/85 mmHg) are shown in the table. Conclusion: TCS with a mutation in the HFE gene do not show more signs of cardiovascular damage after CT compared to TCS with wt HFE. However, the data suggest that TCS with a HFE mutation may have more frequently cardiovascular risk factors. Further study in a larger group of TCS is needed to explore this observation.
