Abstract : Various risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, chronic elevated blood sugar levels, increased blood fat levels that not controlled and the lack of sporting activity are directly proportional to the increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). But people generally do not realize that these risk factors closely related to unhealthy lifestyles inherent in public behavior, including the family environment. Lack of family awareness about  risk of CVD patterns become an important point in the risk factor control strategies through the dissemination and application of a pilot project in a targeted area. This program aims to encourage families built to be able to control or reduce behaviors or habits that lead to CVD risk behavior. In Higher Education program funded IbM we try to apply the smart card on the family built that called logbook for monitoring indicators of risk behavior includes, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose monitoring and blood fat, diet and exercise and smoking habits. This program is facilitated by local cadres who previously had trained  on CVD risk factors during cadre training program in Rampal Celaket Public Health Services working area has been done in 2013. Then family discipline built for the implementation of an advanced program "One card for my neighbor" will be evaluated. Evaluation of the results of the program indicate that the socialization of the healthy heart control card has been given to the family target is not directly proportional to the discipline of monitoring indicators of risky behaviors. This results still far from the expectation, considering the risk factors for CVD inherent in the life behavior is still not a priority needs and yet to be felt as actual symptoms that adversed family.Keywords : cardiovascular disease, risk, regulation Abstrak: Berbagai faktor resiko seperti merokok, hipertensi, peningkatan kadar gula darah kronis, peningkatan kadar lemak darah yang tidak terkontrol dan kurangnya aktivitas olah raga berbanding lurus dengan peningkatan prevalensi cardiovascular disease (CVD). Namun masyarakat pada umumnya tidak menyadari bahwa faktor resiko tersebut erat kaitannya dengan pola hidup tidak sehat yang melekat pada perilaku masyarakat termasuk lingkungan keluarga. Kurangnya kesadaran keluarga akan pola kebiasaan beresiko CVD menjadi poin penting dalam penyusunan strategi pengendalian faktor resiko melalui sosialisasi dan aplikasi pilotproject dalam suatu area binaan. Program ini bertujuan mendorong keluarga binaan untuk dapat mengendalikan atau berupaya mengurangi perilaku atau kebiasaan yang mengarah pada perilaku beresiko CVD. Dalam program IbM yang didanai DIKTI ini kami mencoba mengaplikasikan kartu cerdas pada keluarga binaan yang disebut sebagai logbook untuk pemantauan indikator perilaku beresiko meliputi, lingkar perut, tekanan darah, pemantauan gula darah dan lemak darah, pola makan dan olahraga serta kebiasaan merokok. Program ini difasilitasi oleh kader setempat yang sebelumnya telah dierikan pelatihan tentang faktor resiko CVD pada program pelatihan kader wilayah kerja PKM Rampal Celaket yang telah dilakukan pada tahun 2013. Kemudian akan dievaluasi kedisiplinan keluarga binaan untuk pelaksanaan program lanjutan “Satu kartu untuk tetangga-Ku”. Evaluasi hasil program menunjukkan bahwa sosialisasi kartu kendali jantung sehat yang telah diberikan pada keluarga binaan tidak berbanding lurus dengan kedisiplinan pemantauan indikator perilaku beresiko dengan hasil yang masih jauh dari harapan mengingat faktor resiko CVD yang melekat pada perilaku hidup masyarakat masih belum menjadi prioritas kebutuhan dan belum dirasakan adanya gejala aktual yang merugikan keluarga.Kata kunci :cardiovascular disease, resiko, regulasi

Objective. To examine the relationship between depressive symptoms and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in a group of African American individuals.Design. A nonrandom sample of 253 (age 43.7 ± 11.6 years; 37% male) African American individuals was recruited by advertisements. Data were obtained by validated questionnaires, anthropometric, blood pressure, and blood sample measurements.Results. Regression analyses were performed to assess the relationship between depressive symptoms and CVD risk factors controlling for socioeconomic status indicators. These analyses demonstrated that those with higher levels of depressive symptoms had larger waist-to-hip ratios, higher percent body fat, higher triglycerides, and were more likely to be smokers.Conclusions. It has been well documented that higher levels of depressive symptoms are associated with higher CVD risk. However, this evidence is derived primarily from samples of predominantly Caucasian individuals. The present investigation demonstrates that depressive symptoms are related to CVD risk factors in African American individuals.

In this study was to determine knowledge of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and to explore related factors among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) who have not been diagnosed with CVD. This descriptive study was conducted with 175 adults. Data were collected individual identification form and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Knowledge Level (CARRF-KL) scale. A negative correlation was found between age and CARRF-KL score. A significant difference was found between educational status and CARRF-KL score. The individuals described their health status as good, managed their condition with diet and exercise, received information from nurses, adults with DM in their family and those with no DM complications had significantly higher scores in CARRF-KL. The knowledge of an individual with DM about CVD risk factors should be assessed, CVD risks should be identified at an early stage, and individuals at risk should be subjected to screening.

Vascular injury mobilizes bone marrow–derived proangiogenic cells into the circulation, where these cells can facilitate vascular repair and new vessel formation. We sought to determine the relationship between a new biomarker of circulating bone marrow–derived proangiogenic cell activity, the presence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors, and clinical outcomes. Circulating proangiogenic cell activity was estimated using a reproducible angiogenic colony-forming unit (CFU-A) assay in 532 clinically stable subjects aged 20 to 90 years and ranging in the CVD risk spectrum from those who are healthy without risk factors to those with active CVD. CFU-A counts increased with the burden of CVD risk factors ( p < 0.001). CFU-A counts were higher in subjects with symptomatic CVD than in those without ( p < 0.001). During follow-up of 232 subjects with CVD, CFU-A counts were higher in those with death, myocardial infarction, or stroke than in those without (110 [70–173] vs 84 [51–136], p = 0.01). Therefore, we conclude that circulating proangiogenic cell activity, as estimated by CFU-A counts, increases with CVD risk factor burden and in the presence of established CVD. Furthermore, higher circulating proangiogenic cell activity is associated with worse clinical outcome in those with CVD.

Introduction: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the association between cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and dinner consumption in a nationally representative sample of Iranian adolescents. Methods: The present study was conducted on 5642 adolescents aged 10-18 years old in 27 provinces in Iran. The subjects were included applying by multistage random cluster sampling. Participants who ate ≥5 dinners during a week were considered as a dinner consumer. Results: Among 5642 subjects, 1412 (25%) did not consume dinner. Dinner consumers were less likely to be overweight or obese (P < 0.001) and abdominally obese (P < 0.001) as well as to have an abnormal level of HDL-C (P = 0.02). Dinner skipper youths had a higher risk for overweight or obesity (odds ratio [OR]: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.39-1.89) and abdominal obesity (OR: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.36-1.85) which remained significant after adjusting confounding factors (P <0001). No relationship was observed between dinner consumption and the rest of the CVD risk factors, neither in crude nor in adjusted models. A higher proportion of dinner-consumer adolescents had no CVD risk factors in comparison to dinner-skipper subjects (31.1% vs. 28%). Conclusion: Eating dinner might be inversely associated with some CVD risk factors among Iranian adolescents. Further prospective studies will need to prove this theory.

Non-communicable diseases (NSDs) are responsible for two-thirds of all deaths globally, whereas cardiovascular disease (CVD) alone counts for nearly half of them. To reduce the impact of CVD, targeting modifiable risk factors comprised in metabolic syndrome (e.g., waist circumference, lipid profile, blood pressure, and blood glucose) is of great importance. Beneficial effects of fish consumption on CVD has been revealed over the past decades, and some studies suggest that fish consumption may have a protective role in preventing metabolic syndrome. Fish contains a variety of nutrients that may contribute to health benefits. This review examines current recommendations for fish intake as a source of various nutrients (proteins, n-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, iodine, selenium, and taurine), and their effects on metabolic syndrome and the CVD risk factors. Fatty fish is recommended due to its high levels of n-3 fatty acids, however lean fish also contains nutrients that may be beneficial in the prevention of CVD.

CV events among T2DM patients are major contributors to high healthcare utilization and cost. Healthcare utilization and costs among T2DM patients with established CVD and CVD risk factors in a large US database were explored. T2DM patients aged ≥40 years were identified from the HealthCore Integrated Research Environment from 1/1/2007 to 4/30/2011 and followed from first T2DM diagnosis (index date) until loss of eligibility or death. Established CVD [Group 1] included patients with MI, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, or revascularization in the year prior to index. CVD risk [Group 2] included patients with older age (men ≥55 y, women ≥60 y) and prior diagnosis for either dyslipidemia or hypertension. Per person year (PPY) utilization and cost following T2DM diagnosis were calculated as the total number of events/cost divided by total number of person years of follow-up. There were 177,140 Group 1 (mean age: 68 y; 57% men) and 191,441 Group 2 (mean age: 66 y; 57% men) patients who met the selection criteria. During the 12, 24, 36, and 48 months following index, a higher proportion of Group 1 vs Group 2 patients had ≥1 inpatient visit (35%, 50%, 61%, 69% vs 16%, 27%, 36%, 44% respectively) and ≥1 ED visit (6.2%, 17%, 29%, 41% vs 2.9%, 9%, 18%, 28% respectively). T2DM patients have high healthcare utilization and costs. Those with established CVD have higher PPY event rates (Figure 1) and costs (Figure 2), compared with patients with CVD risk factors. Inpatient hospitalizations and outpatient visits are key cost drivers in this T2DM population.

Emerging research indicates that nuts are a source of health-promoting compounds demonstrating cardioprotective benefits. However, most studies have assessed the effect of single nuts rather than a nut mixture. The objective of this study was, therefore, to examine the effect of mixed-nut consumption on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in overweight and obese adults. In a randomized, parallel-arm, controlled trial, 48 participants consumed isocaloric (250 kcal) amounts of pretzels or mixed-nuts. Body weight (BW) (p = 0.024), BMI (p = 0.043), and insulin levels (p = 0.032) were significantly lower in the nut group compared to the pretzel group. Mixed-nut consumption also significantly reduced glucose (p = 0.04) and insulin (p = 0.032) levels after 4 and 8 weeks compared to baseline, respectively. Lactate dehydrogenase of the nut group was significantly lower than the pretzel group (p = 0.002). No significant differences were detected between groups for triglycerides, LDL-C, and HDL-C. However, pretzel consumption increased triglycerides (p = 0.048) from 4 weeks to 8 weeks. Moreover, LDL-C increased (p = 0.038) while HDL-C transiently decreased (p = 0.044) from baseline to 4 weeks. No significant lipid changes were detected within the nut group. Our results suggest that supplementing the diet with mixed-nuts could improve CVD risk factors by improving BW and glucose regulation in comparison to a common carbohydrate-rich snack without promoting the negative effects on lipids detected with pretzels.

Overall potato consumption is positively associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as measures of adiposity. However, few studies have explicitly stated the preparation method of potatoes, which may impact these associations. We examined cross-sectional associations between self-reported dietary intake of boiled potatoes and levels of body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, and blood lipids among 43,683 participants in the HUNT Study, Norway in 2006–2008. All estimated associations were adjusted for possible imbalance in age, sex, physical activity, smoking, intake of other foods and alcohol between categories of boiled potato consumption. Overall, there were no large differences in mean levels of CVD risk factors between categories of boiled potato consumption. Compared to the reference group of individuals who consumed boiled potatoes less than once/week, those who reported eating boiled potatoes every day had slightly higher prevalence of high waist circumference (odds ratio [OR] 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05–1.29), high triglycerides levels (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.07–1.34), and metabolic syndrome (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.03–1.33). In summary, consumption of boiled potatoes showed weak and small associations with the CVD risk factors under study, but the cross-sectional design prevents us from drawing any firm conclusions.

AbstractCardiovacular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among older adults and is often accompanied by functional decline. It is unclear what is driving this co-occurrence, but it may be behavioral, environmental and/or genetic. We used a family-based study to estimate the phenotypic and shared genetic correlation between CVD risk factors and physical and cognitive functional measures. Participants (n = 1,881) were from the Long Life Family Study, which enrolled families based on their exceptional longevity (sample mean age = 69.4 years, 44% female). Cardiovascular disease risk factors included carotid vessel measures [intima-media thickness and inter-adventitial diameter], obesity [body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference], and hypertension [systolic and diastolic blood pressures]. Function was measured in the physical [gait speed, grip strength, chair stand] and cognitive [digital symbol substitution test, retained and working memory, semantic fluency, and trail making tests] domains. We used SOLAR to estimate the genetic, environmental, and phenotypic correlation between each pair adjusting for age, age2, sex, field center, smoking, height, and weight. There were significant phenotypic correlations (range |0.05–0.22|) between CVD risk factors and physical and cognitive function (all P < 0.05). Most significant genetic correlations (range |0.21–0.62|) were between CVD risk factorsand cognitive function, although BMI and waist circumference had significant genetic correlation with gait speed and chair stand time (range |0.29–0.53|; all P < 0.05). These results suggest that CVD risk factors may share a common genetic-and thus, biologic-basis with both cognitive and physical function. This is particularly informative for research into the genetic determinants of chronic disease.
