As part of the Dutch Nutrition Surveillance System, cardiovascular risk factors and food consumption (24 h recall) as well as haematological, Fe and vitamin status (A, B6, C) were assessed in 126 Dutch boys aged 10–11 years (response 71 %). Body mass index (BMI) and the sum of four skinfolds were strongly associated (r0.85,P< 0.01) and 8% of the boys were overweight (BMI > 20.1 kg/m2). Elevated serum total cholesterol levels (> 4.4 mmol/l) were observed in 38 %; total cholesterol and low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were strongly associated (r0.88,P< 0.001). Intake of fat was high (38 % of energy) and too much fat was saturated (polyunsaturated: saturated 0.44, guideline: 0.5–1.0), whereas intake of carbohydrate (49% of energy) and dietary fibre was low. About 12% of the boys had insufficient Fe stores (plasma ferritin < 12.0 μg/l) and the mean Fe intake (9.0 mg/d) was below recommended daily allowance (10.0 mg/d). Plasma ferritin was, however, not associated with haematological indices and no frank anaemias were observed. No marginal values were observed for vitamins A, B6and C status. In conclusion, the main nutritional risks in boys aged 10–11 years are cardiovascular risk factors and Fe nutrition.

Statistical Heterogeneity

Background: The concept that venous thromboembolism (VTE) and atherosclerosis are two distinct entities has recently been challenged. Patients with spontaneous VTE had more asymptomatic carotid atherosclerotic lesions and a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease than patients with VTE secondary to known risk factors and controls. However, no clear relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and VTE has ever been determined. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the potential association between well known cardiovascular risk factors and VTE. Methods: Medline and EMBASE databases were searched to identify studies that evaluated the prevalence of major cardiovascular risk factors in VTE patients and in controls. The studies were selected using a priori defined criteria and each study was reviewed by two authors who abstracted data on study characteristics, study quality and outcomes. Odds Ratio (OR) or weighted mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated and pooled using a random-effects model. Statistical heterogeneity was evaluated using the I 2 statistic. Results: Twenty-one case-control and cohort studies with a total of 63.552 patients met the inclusion criteria. Compared to controls, the risk of VTE was 2.33 for obesity (95% CI 1.68 –3.24), 1.51 for hypertension (1.23–1.85), 1.42 for diabetes (1.12–1.77), 1.18 for smoking (0.95–1.46), and 1.16 for hypercholesterolemia (0.67–2.02). Weighted mean HDL cholesterol levels were significantly lower in VTE patients compared to controls, whereas no difference was observed in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels. Significant heterogeneity among studies was detected in all subgroups, except for diabetes. Higher quality studies were more homogeneous and, except for hypertension, the significant associations remained unchanged. Discussion: Common cardiovascular risk factors are associated with an increased risk of VTE. This association between VTE and atherothrombosis has obvious clinical implications with respect to screening, risk factor modification and future therapy. Future prospective studies could investigate underlying mechanisms of this two-way relation.

Individualized Approach

Cardiovascular disease poses a major challenge for the 21st century. Although good control of blood pressure and type 2 diabetes and reducing low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels can improve cardiovascular outcomes, a substantial residual risk remains existed after treatment in most patient populations. Recently, many efforts have been directed at finding the important role of low high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, high triglycerides, especially triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and lipoprotein (a) in the metabolism of atherosclerotic plaque formation Therefore, based on the recent evidence, identification and treatment of these risk factors may play a role in optimizing therapeutic strategy, particularly in high risk subjects along with conventional treatment. In clinical practice, adequate attention should be paid when screening and managing residual cardiovascular risk factors in dyslipidemia in term of individualized approach. The ongoing trials will give more answers to elucidate this important area.

Background:Behcet’s disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis affecting all types and sizes of blood vessels. Heart rate variability (HRV) reflects sympathetic -parasympathetic imbalance in the autonomic NS regulation. Low HRV values are known as independent risk factor of death and non-fatal cardiovascular events in both - survivors of a myocardial infarction and in asymptomatic population.Objectives:The aim of this study is to evaluate HRV in BD pts vs healthy controls.Methods:The study group included 74 BD pts (53males/21females) with disease duration of 9,0 (5,0;15,0)/9,0 (7;20) years, and the control group - 32/15 age-matched healthy m/f. The following HRV parameters from 24h ECG ambulatory recording were assessed: MeanNN and time-domain variables, adjusted by MeanNN (SDNNn%, SDNNin%, RMSSDn%). Additionally, all traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as systolic blood pressure (SPB), smoking status, BMI values, dyslipidemia profile, ultrasonographic values of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), and levels high sensitive CRP (hsCRP) as a marker of inflammation were evaluated.Results:In BD patients HRV values (RMSSDn%) were significantly lower compared to healthy controls (table 1).Table 1.HRV parameters in BD patients and control groupParametersMalesFemalesBD (n=53)Control (n=32)BD (n=21)Control (n=15)Age, years30 (24; 36)30 (26; 35)32 (26; 37)28 (24; 31)MeanNN, ms810 (732; 849)782 (732; 835)776 (708; 830)764 (694; 832)SDNN n (%)16,9 (13,6; 19,4)17,2 (16,3; 21,1)13,1 (11,3; 5,3)12,2 (10,7; 14,6)SDNNi n (%)6,8 (5,1; 8,1)6,8 (5,0; 8,3)7,1 (6,1; 7,7)5,2 (4,9; 5,7)RMSSD n (%)2,1 (1,5; 2,3)**4,1 (2,7; 5,2)**1,7 (1,4; 3,7)*2,8 (2,2; 3,9)*Data are presented in median values and interquartile range, *p<0,05, **p<0,005 vs controls.There was a significant negative correlation in BD patients between HRV (SDNNin%) and age (r= -0,4; p=0,00), disease duration (r= -0,3; p=0,00), BMI (r= -0,2; p<0,01), cholesterol levels (r= -0,3; p=0,00), LDLP (r= -0,3; p=0,00) and increased IMT (r= -0,2; p=0,04), and also between HRV (RMSSD%) and age (r= -0,2; p=0,04), disease duration (r= -0,2; p=0,01), cholesterol levels (r= -0,3; p=0,00), HDLP (r= -0,2; p=0,04); a positive correlation was established between HRV (SNNN%) and smoking (r= -0,2; p=0,04). The control group showed positive correlation between HRV (SNNN%) and increased IMT (r= 0,4; p=0,01).Conclusion:HRV reduction reflects impaired sympathetic -parasympathetic regulation in BD pts, associated with pts’ age, disease duration and presence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors: BMI, increased cholesterol levels, LDLP, and such asymptomatic manifestation of atherosclerosis as increased IMT.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Background: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease, resulting in the promotion of low-fat diets that emphasize the need to lower LDL cholesterol levels. We investigated the relationship between dietary carbohydrate intake and cardiovascular risk factors according to LDL cholesterol levels in Korean adults who typically consumed high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets.Methods: A total of 25,925 Korean adults were selected from the 2007-2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Dietary carbohydrate intake was grouped into quintiles and cardiovascular risk factors included obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Multiple logistic regression models were used to examine association between carbohydrate intake and cardiovascular risk factors by sex and LDL cholesterol levels.Results: Subjects with LDL cholesterol ≥130 mg/dL had significantly less energy and fat intake than those with LDL cholesterol <130 mg/dL both in men and women. In men, a higher carbohydrate intake was related to increased prevalence of atherogenic dyslipidemia and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol regardless of LDL cholesterol levels. Meanwhile, dietary carbohydrate intake was positively associated with low HDL cholesterol but inversely associated with hypercholesterolemia only in women with LDL cholesterol <130 mg/dL.Conclusions: High carbohydrate intake in Korean adults is associated with low HDL cholesterol or atherogenic dyslipidemia regardless of LDL cholesterol levels. Carbohydrate intake should be carefully recommended according to the lipid profiles of individuals for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease.

Introduction. High normal blood pressure (HNBP) is reported to result in arterial hypertension (AH), especially when associated with various risk factors. Still only few studies on HNBP prevalence in Russian population have been carried out. Objective. To study the prevalence of HNBP and its association with age, gender, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) in adult population of 12 regions of Russia. The study is based on data obtained in ESSE-RF (Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases in Different Regions of Russian Federation) study. Materials and methods. The analysis of data obtained in ESSE-RF study, which included 21 887 patients aged 25-64 years, was performed. The group of patients not taking antihypertensive and/or statin therapy (n=12 897, 41 % male, 59% female) was selected for the analysis. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to blood pressure (BP) levels. The first group included 7095 patients with normal BP, the second group included 2415 patients with HNBP (130-139/85-89 mmHg), the third - 3387 patients with AH. A detailed analysis of CVRFs was performed, including family history, obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM), ischemic heart disease (IHD), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and cholesterol levels, and glucose level. Results. The prevalence of HNBP was 19% (22% in male population, 16% in female). The prevalence rates were higher in younger age male groups (< 45 years); in female groups the prevalence rates correlated with age. The patients with HNBP had more CVRFs than ones with normal BP. According to multivariant analysis, HNBP was associated with obesity with odds ratio (OR) from 1.32, (95% confidence interval [CI]), to 1.7 (95% CI); gender with OR from 1.54 (95% CI) to 3.89 (95% CI); high LDL and cholesterol levels, and high glucose levels. No direct relation between HNBP and positive family history, DM or IHD was found. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that HNBP is a relevant issue in Russia that requires further research. It also illustrates the necessity of targeting the individuals with HNBP in order to control CVRFs.
