The aim of work is to exposure how disbalance of male sex hormones in the period of the age-specific reorganization affects development of atherosclerosis and vascular disorders by the example of ischemic stroke, establishment of correlation between hormonal dysfunction by the example testosterone and lipid metabolism according to the somatic type in the critical period of ischemic stroke. The pilot analysis of level of sex hormones by the example testosterone, lipids and body mass index confirms that there is correlation between these indices. Rising of body mass index is accompanied by reduction of sex hormone concentration, but for all that levels of cholesterol and atherogenic fraction are increased.

Fertility Disorder

The aim of this study was to determine if body mass can be considered a risk factor for infertility, and if we can find any correlations between the age values and the FSH and estradiol values, and between the BMI values and the FSH and estradiol values. Our whole sample contains 100 patients splinted in two groups (pregnant patients N1=57 subjects, 57%, and not � pregnant patients N1=43 subjects,43%). In the first part we conducted our analysis on the whole group and after that we focused the analysis on the two groups and we made some comparisons between the groups. We obtained a medium, extremely significant correlation in all scenarios between the age and the FSH values. This is the best association from all the cases which we tested. In all twelve cases we have a positive correlation (r ] 0). As well, we obtained that a BMI value higher than 25can be considered a risk factor for obtaining a pregnancy (p[0.05, RR ] 1, OR]1) . Our study shows that women who have weight problems have much less chances of conceiving a baby, even if they ovulate normally. The risk of infertility increases proportionally to the extra pounds. Irregular ovulation in women is the most common fertility disorder due to obesity disease.

AbstractObjectivesThe combination of sleep duration, television (TV) time and body mass index (BMI) may be related to the alteration of cardiometabolic risk. However, there are few studies that use these variables grouped, and showing the moderating role of age. This study aimed to verify if the combination of sleep duration, TV time and BMI is associated with cardiometabolic risk and the moderating role of age in this relationship in youth.MethodsCross-sectional study conducted with 1411 adolescents (611 male), aged 10–17 years. Sleep duration, TV time and BMI were assessed and grouped into eight categories. Cardiometabolic risk was assessed by a continuous metabolic risk score, including the following variables: low HDL-cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, dysglycemia, high systolic blood pressure, high waist circumference and low cardiorespiratory fitness. Generalized linear models were used to test moderation of age in the relationship between the eight categories of sleep duration/television time/BMI with cardiometabolic risk.ResultsCardiometabolic risk factor showed association with all overweight or obesity independent of sleep time and TV time. Age moderated the relationship between sleep duration/television time/BMI with cardiometabolic risk. This association was stronger in younger adolescents (11 and 13 years), indicating that individuals with inadequate sleep, prolonged TV time and overweight/obesity present higher cardiometabolic risk values when compared to 15-year-old adolescents.ConclusionOverweight/obesity, independently of sleep duration and TV time, is the main risk factor for cardiometabolic disorders in adolescence. When moderated by age, younger adolescents that presented the combination of risk factors had higher cardiometabolic risk.

AbstractAlthough the obesity paradox is an important modifiable factor in cardiovascular diseases, little research has been conducted to determine how it affects post-stroke cognitive function. We aimed to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and domain-specific cognitive outcomes, focusing on the subdivision of each frontal domain function in post-ischemic stroke survivors. A total of 335 ischemic stroke patients were included in the study after completion of the Korean-Mini Mental Status Examination (K-MMSE) and the vascular cognitive impairment harmonization standards neuropsychological protocol at 3 months after stroke. Frontal lobe functions were analyzed using semantic/phonemic fluency, processing speed, and mental set shifting. Our study participants were categorized into four groups according to BMI quartiles. The z-scores of K-MMSE at 3 months differed significantly between the groups after adjustment for initial stroke severity (p = 0.014). Global cognitive function in stroke survivors in the Q1 (the lowest quartile) BMI group was significantly lower than those in Q2 and Q4 (the highest quartile) BMI groups (K-MMSE z-scores, Q1: − 2.10 ± 3.40 vs. Q2: 0.71 ± 1.95 and Q4: − 1.21 ± 1.65). Controlled oral word association test findings indicated that phonemic and semantic word fluency was lower in Q4 BMI group participants than in Q2 BMI group participants (p = 0.016 and p = 0.023 respectively). BMI might differentially affect cognitive domains after ischemic stroke. Although being underweight may negatively affect global cognition post-stroke, obesity could induce frontal lobe dysfunctions, specifically phonemic and semantic word fluency.

Background: Present rise in the incidence of obesity has led to several opposing reports regarding the association between obesity and stroke outcomes. The objective of this study was to investigate a proposed paradoxical relationship between body mass index (BMI) and functional status in ischemic stroke patients at time of hospital discharge. Methods: Saint Francis Hospital Comprehensive Stroke Center patient databases were utilized in identifying 948 patients eligible for retrospective chart review over a period of 15 months. Subjects were divided into 4 groups according to BMI: underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m 2 ), normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m 2 ), overweight (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m 2 ), and obese (BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m 2 ). Covariates, such as age, gender, prior to event modified Rankin scale (mRS), stroke recurrence, and smoking, were considered. Functional status and disability of stroke patients was scored via mRS at hospital discharge. Ordered logistic regression, Pearson’s chi-squared test, and Pearson’s r correlation were used for analysis to assess the association of BMI and functional status in ischemic strokes. Results: Of 948 eligible subjects, 49.9% were female and mean (SD) age was 69.4 (14.5) years. According to BMI, 22 (2.3%) were underweight, 247 (26.1%) normal weight, 319 (33.7%) overweight, and 360 (37.9%) obese. After adjusting for covariates, ischemic stroke patients with an increased BMI (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.96-0.99) were not associated with increased disability risk upon discharge. Obese (16.2%) and overweight (14.1%) patients discharged with a mRS of 0 (back to baseline) or 1 more frequently compared to normal weight (6.1%) and underweight (0.21%) patients ( P <0.001). Furthermore, an inverse association between BMI status and disability was significantly evident ( r = -0.17, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Obese and overweight stroke patients discharge with a lower risk of disability than normal weight and underweight patients, supporting the existence of the “obesity paradox” in stroke. An inverse association between obesity status and functional outcome was identified and remained significant regardless of covariates.
