The American Heart Association has outlined seven modifiable cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics. However, the sex and age disparities in the association between those CVH metrics and ischemic heart disease (IHD) prevalence are unclear. Our study sought to examine the possible sex and age variations in the association between CVH metrics and IHD prevalence using an Australian nationally representative survey. We used the core sample of the 2011–2012 Australian Health Survey, and 7499 adults with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and total cholesterol values were included. We used Poisson regression analysis to measure the associations between individual metrics and IHD prevalence. Our study used both stratification and interaction analyses to compare the magnitude of associations between sex and age groups. Then, we calculated the population attributable fractions to measure the contribution of each metric to IHD prevalence. In addition, we applied logistic regression analysis to examine the influences of ideal CVH metrics number on IHD prevalence and used stratification and interaction analyses. Body mass index, physical activity, blood pressure, and FPG have greater effects on IHD prevalence in young adults compared to older adults. We failed to detect the sex variations in CVH metrics and IHD prevalence. The ideal CVH metrics number was inversely correlated to IHD prevalence and it has similar effects in four subgroups. These CVH metrics do not explain the sex and age disparities in IHD prevalence and the topic need further explorations.

Introduction: Cardiovascular health behaviors refer to the activities done by individuals to prevent recurrence, minimize risk factors, improve survival, reduce recurrent events, control cardiovascular disease, and help prevent further complications. Illness perception may determine these behaviors. This study is aimed to identify level of illness perception, cardiovascular health behaviors and illness perception predicting cardiovascular health behaviors among patients with ischemic heart disease. Methods: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Altogether 114 samples were selected using convenience sampling technique. Data was collected by using pretested semi-structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Illness perception was at moderate level (M= 148.05, SD= 12.86) which represented a moderate threatening perception. The score of cardiovascular health behaviors was at a high level (M=92.14, SD=10.72). Conclusions: The findings showed that illness perception can be a predictor of cardiovascular health behaviors.

Advanced Glycation

Nonenzymatic reactions between glucose and proteins yield advanced glycation end products (AGE) such as pentosidine. AGE accumulate in diabetic patients, alter the structure and function of tissue proteins, stimulate cellular response, and have thus been implicated in diabetic tissue damage. The present study was undertaken to assess the factors determining plasma total pentosidine level in diabetic patients and the possible relation between plasma pentosidine level and diabetic complications. In diabetic patients, including patients with renal failure, plasma pentosidine levels, assessed by HPLC assay, were correlated with serum creatinine (P < 0.0001). In patients with normal renal function, pentosidine levels were correlated with blood glucose control (hemoglobin Alc: P = 0.0028; fructoselysine: P = 0.0133), serum creatinine (P = 0.029), patient age (P = 0.0416), duration of diabetes (P = 0.0431), and total cholesterol (P = 0.0056) and LDL-cholesterol (P = 0.0208). Multiple regression analysis revealed an independent influence of hemoglobin Alc and serum creatinine on pentosidine levels (r2 = 0.216, P = 0.0026). Pentosidine levels were higher in patients with than in those without hypertension (P = 0.043) or ischemic heart diseases (P = 0.0061). No such differences were observed between patients with and without albuminuria or retinopathy. Multiple regression analysis revealed an independent influence of plasma pentosidine on the presence of hypertension (r2 = 0.129, P = 0.0382) and of plasma pentosidine and HDL-cholesterol on the presence of ischemic heart disease (r2 = 0.326, P = 0.0012). The present study demonstrated that plasma pentosidine level was significantly influenced by the quality of glycemic control and renal function. Pentosidine level was also correlated with hypertension and ischemic heart disease, and might be taken as a biomarker of diabetic cardiovascular risk.
