Abstract

Obese people are at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) than people with normal body fat. Therefore, the aim of this review was to synthetize the traditional risk factors for CVD. The search was made in Medline and Scielo, using the key-words cardiovascular disease, glucose, triglycerides, lipoproteins, obesity and body fat distribution. The studies showed that high values of glicemia, low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides and, low rate of high-density lipoproteins are the main risk factors associated with central body fat distribution, which seems to be a greater risk factor for CDV than obesity itself. RESUMO Pessoas obesas têm um risco mais elevado para o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares do que pessoas com gordura corporal normal. Portanto, o objetivo desta revisão foi sintetizar os fatores de risco mais tradicionais para as doenças cardiovasculares (DCV). A pesquisa foi feita no Medline e Scielo, usando as palavras-chave doença cardiovascular, glicose, triglicérides, lipoproteínas, obesidade e distribuição da gordura corporal. Os estudos mostraram que altas taxas de glicemia, lipoproteínas de baixa densidade, triglicérides e baixa taxa de lipoproteínas de alta densidade são os principais fatores de risco, para as DCV, associados à distribuição da gordura na região central. Esta gordura parece ser o maior fator de risco para as DCV, associada à glicemia, lipoproteínas de baixa densidade, triglicérides e lipoproteínas de alta densidade, do que a obesidade por si só.

Article
Full-text available
  • Jun 2020
  • LASER MED SCI
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of high-power therapeutic ultrasound in the treatment of abdominal localized adiposity in an isolated manner, with the use of neutral gel comparing ultrasonic application with 5% lipolytic active caffeine gel (phonophoresis). A total of 90 healthy women aged between 18 and 40 years were randomized and divided into two groups. The volunteers underwent anamnesis evaluation, perimetry, bioimpedance, ultrasound examination, and blood tests (complete lipidogram, creatinine, and vitamin D) before and after the end of the 10-session ultrasound protocol (3 MHz, 2 W/cm2, and 30w). Comparisons between groups and pre-post evaluation were performed by a two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance. Values of p < 0.05 indicated statistical significance. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in both groups, for the perimetry (p < 0.001) and measurements of adipose tissue thickness (p < 0.001). The examinations exhibited a significant alteration only of the complete lipidogram, but without significance (p > 0.05). When comparing the groups, no statistically significant difference was identified in any of the analyzed parameters. The high-power ultrasonic therapy is efficient in reducing localized adiposity, regardless of whether it is applied with neutral gel or 5% caffeine gel.

... The fat excess and the central obesity increase the risks to the development of metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular disease in men and women, with outcomes as coronary artery disease (Lima & Glaner, 2006;Oliveira et al., 2004;Pitanga & Lessa, 2005). Moreover, increases of blood pressure, as demonstrated by Covassin et al. (2018), who submitted 26 healthy subjects to weight gain during eight weeks, and the increments of 3.7 kg of body weight and 13.8cm² in visceral fat resulted in the increases at 4 and 1.7 mmHg the 24-hour systolic and mean blood pressure, respectively. ...

Article
Full-text available
  • May 2019
Purpose: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of a multidisciplinary intervention program on cardiovascular risk factors in obese women. Participated 33 obese women, classified by the body mass index-BMI ≥ 30kg/m². Material: The intervention program had a duration of the 12 weeks, and consisted of nutritional and psychological support, as well as physical exercise orientation, with a supervision single weekly session for 60 min, being the participants stimulated to do physical exercise in the other days of the week. Pre-and post-intervention were measured the anthropometrics, as body weight, stature, lean body mass, fat mass, BMI; metabolic, as total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose; hemodynamic parameters, as blood pressure and heart rate; and autonomic cardiac from the heart rate variability, with analyses in the frequency-domain, through the relative power of the low-frequency band (0.04-0.15 Hz) in normal units (LFnu) and relative power of the high-frequency band (0.15-0.4 Hz) in normal units (HFnu). Results: The intervention program promoted significant decrease in the body weight (-2%), BMI (-1.9%), fat mass (-2.1%), triglycerides (-2%), diastolic blood pressure (-10.6%), LFnu (-22.1%) and increase of the HFnu (+53.1%), resulting in a reduction of the LF:HF ratio, reducing the cardiac sympathetic modulation and increasing the parasympathetic modulation. Conclusions: These results suggest that a multidisciplinary intervention program is effective in the beginning of the treatment of obesity and to the reduction of risk factors for cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases.

Effect of replacing pork backfat with Echium oil on technological and sensory characteristics of bologna sausages with reduced sodium content
Article
  • Apr 2019
  • LWT-FOOD SCI TECHNOL
This research evaluated the effect of animal fat replacement by Echium oil in bologna sausages with low sodium content. Three formulations were prepared: Control (100% pork fat), T50 and T100 (50 and 100% pork fat replacement with Echium oil, respectively). The samples were evaluated through physicochemical (sodium content, emulsion stability, proximate composition, water activity, lipid profile, pH, instrumental colour, and instrumental texture), microstructural (scanning electronic microscopy), and sensory (acceptance and CATA) analysis. The replacement of 50% and 100% animal fat (T50 and T100, respectively) did not affect any bologna physicochemical characteristics (p > 0.05), but T100 showed lower (p < 0.05) sensory acceptance. In comparison to the other samples, the CATA results presented different sensory descriptors for T100, such as tasteless, aerated appearance, and fish odour. However, all the formulations can be considered “acceptable”, as all of them showed an acceptance score around 7. Both samples with Echium oil showed lipid profile improvement, a higher ω3 content, and a decreased ω6:ω3 ratio compared with the control. The replacement of fat with Echium oil was technologically feasible for obtaining nutritionally enriching bologna sausages with reduced sodium.

Alterations on health variables of women engaged in a public physical exercise program
Article
  • Jan 2010
The ageing process produce deleterious effects upon health, performance and leanness-obesity which in turn it restrain human functionality. This study analyzed eventual effects of seven months of exercises upon health indicators of women involved at a physical exercise public program. During seven months, 18 women participated in 50 min exercise activities (3x week), at Centro de Esporte e Lazer (Center for Sports and Leisure) Vila Oficinas, Curitiba, PR. Body mass, stature, BMI, WHR, %fat, abdominal strength (AS), flexibility (FLEX), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), estimated VO2max and resting heart rate (RHR) were compared. Statistics consisted of descriptive and Student's dependent t test, p≤0.05. Results showed that only RHR and age were significantly altered. It can be concluded that physical activities were effective to promote a RHR reduction and a VO2 increment both followed by a lower BM and BMI values, although AS, WHR, and flexibility remained steady.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o perfil bioquímico e nutricional de fumantes em tratamento para a cessação tabágica e sua associação com parâmetros antropométricos. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo transversal com amostra de conveniência. Adultos fumantes foram avaliados no início do tratamento no Centro Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa e Intervenção em Tabagismo do Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CIPIT/HU-UFJF). Foram avaliados o índice de massa corporal (IMC), índice de conicidade (IC), circunferência da cintura (CC), percentual de gordura corporal (%GC), glicemia de jejum, cortisol, insulina, colesterol total (TC), colesterol LDL-c, HDL-c, triglicéridos (TG) e síndrome metabólica (SM). RESULTADOS: A maioria dos participantes possuía SM e alto risco cardiovascular. A glicemia de jejum estava alterada em 30,4%. Houve correlação positiva significativa entre IMC e CC (r = 0,90; p = 0,0001), %GC (r = 0,79; p = 0,0001), IC (r = 0,65; p = 0,0001), glicemia (r = 0,42; p = 0,04) e TG (r = 0,47; p = 0,002). O IC também apresentou correlação positiva com insulina (r = 0,6; p = 0,001), glicemia (r = 0,55; p = 0,007), TG (r = 0,54; p = 0,008) e %GC (r = 0,43; p = 0,004). Pacientes com maior tempo de tabagismo tiveram maior risco de desenvolver SM (O = 9,6; p = 0,016). CONCLUSÃO: Os fumantes avaliados tiveram maior risco de desenvolver SM, especialmente aqueles que fumavam por mais tempo, requerendo urgência para a cessação tabágica.

Lipid and glucose profiles in outpatients and their correlation with anthropometric indices
Article
Full-text available
  • Dec 2012
Introduction and objective: Obesity is associated with high rates of dyslipidemia and glucose intolerance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation of anthropometric indices with the lipid and glucose profiles of outpatients. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study assessing anthropometric and metabolic parameters in a sample of 550 individuals. Results: The prevalence of overweight exceeded 80%, with no difference between the sexes. However, 80.9% of women vs. 52.1% of men had waist circumference in the very high risk range (P=000). Glucose and lipid abnormalities were found in over 40% of the sample. In men, no correlation was found between anthropometric indices and metabolic profile. In women, HDL cholesterol was negatively correlated with body mass index waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio. Triglycerides were positively correlated with body mass index, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio and fasting plasma glucose with waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio. After adjustment for age and nutritional status, the correlations only remained significant between HDL cholesterol and anthropometric indices. Conclusions: Among women, the anthropometric indices waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio and body mass index proved good predictors of HDL cholesterol, showing the importance of using these parameters in clinical practice and for screening of cardiovascular risk.

  • ARQ BRAS CARDIOL
Androgenic obesity is associated with a higher risk of metabolic disorders, thus favoring the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and other morbidities. To verify the influence of the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) area, measured by computed tomography (CT), on the metabolic alterations in adult and elderly individuals. CT results and lipoprotein levels, total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides, glycemia and uric acid levels, were obtained from 194 individuals stratified by sex, age group and body mass and analyzed using the tests of correlation and means. The elderly individuals presented higher VAT area, glycemia, uric acid and total cholesterol levels. The most important correlations were observed between VAT area, triglycerides (TG) and VLDL-c (r > 0.5; p < 0.01), in both age groups. The mean VAT area was always higher when TG and glycemia levels were altered, in both age groups. Most tests showed a strong correlation with VAT area, which was considered as risk for metabolic alterations. In elderly individuals, the risk VAT area seems to be higher than that of adult individuals.

  • ARQ BRAS CARDIOL
During childhood and adolescence, physical inactivity, excess weight, and poor nutrition are risk factors for chronic diseases, especially obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Early intervention can prevent the development of these complications. To determine the presence of cardiovascular risk (obesity and hypertension) in schoolchildren and its potential interactions with cardio-respiratory fitness. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in a stratified cluster sample of 1,666 schoolchildren, aged between 7 and 17 years, 873 (52.4%) of them male and 793 (47.6%) of them female. The following variables were evaluated: systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF %), and cardio-respiratory fitness. SBP and DBP were correlated with waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), sum of skin folds (SigmaSF), and cardio-respiratory fitness. A BMI assessment of the students showed that 26.7% of them were overweight or obese, and 35.9% had body fat percentage over moderately high. As to blood pressure, we found that 13.9% and 12.1% of the students were borderline or hypertensive, for SBP and DBP, respectively. There was an association among hypertension, obesity, and cardio-respiratory fitness. There was a significant correlation of SBP and DBP with all variables, and also a weak to moderate correlation with age, weight, height, BMI, and waist circumference. The presence of hypertension associated with obesity and its effects on cardio-respiratory fitness stress the importance of recommending, since childhood, a more active and healthy lifestyle.

The cardiovascular diseases contribute significantly as a death cause in all Brazilian regions, mainly the Southeast. Besides, they constitute one of the main causes of permanence in hospital and are responsible for the main allocation of public resources in hospitalizations in Brazil. Consequently, the economic cost of cardiovascular diseases has increased in the last decades. The risk of someone developing cardiovascular disease is evaluated through analysis of the characteristics increasing that individual's chance to develop the disease. The knowledge of those factors associated to the risk is important in order to establish prevention strategies. This article revises the main risk markers for cardiovascular diseases in adults related to the nutrition, as the anthropometrics, dietary and biochemical. Besides, it emphasizes the impact of these diseases in society, as well as the need to take importance of establishing measures of primary prevention to control them.

Effects of Obesity and Body Fat Distribution on Lipids and Lipoproteins in Nondiabetic American Indians: The Strong Heart Study
Article
Full-text available
  • Jun 2000
Objectives: To examine the relationship between obesity and lipoprotein profiles and compare the effects of total obesity and central adiposity on lipids/lipoproteins in American Indians. Research Methods and Procedures: Participants were 773 nondiabetic American Indian women and 739 men aged 45 to 74 years participating in the Strong Heart Study. Total obesity was estimated using body mass index (BMI). Central obesity was measured as waist circumference. Lipoprotein measures included triglycerides, high-density lipoprotei in (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, apolipoprotein AI (apoAI), and apolipoprotein B (apoB). Partial and canonical correlation analyses were used to examine the associations between obesity and lipids/lipoproteins. Results: Women were more obese than men in Arizona (median BMI 32.1 vs. 29.2 kg/m2) and South Dakota and North Dakota (28.3 vs. 28.0 kg/m2), but there was no sex difference in waist circumference. Men had higher apoB and lower apoAI levels than did women. In women, when adjusted for center, gender, and age, BMI was significantly related to HDL cholesterol (r = −0.24, p < 0.001). There was a significant but weak relation with apoAI (r = −0.14 p < 0.001). Waist circumference was positively related to triglycerides (r = 0.14 p < 0.001) and negatively related to HDL cholesterol (r = −0.23, p < 0.001) and apoAI (r = −0.13, p < 0.001). In men, BMI was positively correlated with triglycerides (r = 0.30, p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with HDL cholesterol (r = −0.35, p < 0.001) and apoAI (r = −0.23, p < 0.001). Triglycerides increased with waist circumference (r = 0.30, p < 0.001) and HDL cholesterol decreased with waist circumference (r = −0.36 p < 0.001). In both women and men there was an inverted U-shaped relationship between obesity and waist with LDL cholesterol and apoB. In canonical correlation analysis, waist circumference received a greater weight (0.86) than did BMI (0.17) in women. However, the canonical weights were similar for waist (0.46) and BMI (0.56) in men. Only HDL cholesterol (−1.02) carried greater weight in women, whereas in men, triglycerides (0.50), and HDL cholesterol (−0.64) carried a large amount of weight. All the correlation coefficients between BMI, waist circumference, and the first canonical variable of lipids/lipoproteins or between the individual lipid/lipoprotein variables and the first canonical variable of obesity were smaller in women than in men. Triglycerides and HDL cholesterol showed clinically meaningful changes with BMI and waist circumference in men. All lipid/lipoprotein changes in women in relation to BMI and waist circumference were minimal. Discussion: The main lipoprotein abnormality related to obesity in American Indians was decreased HDL cholesterol, especially in men. Central adiposity was more associated with abnormal lipid/lipoprotein profiles than general obesity in women; both were equally important in men.

  • Feb 1995
The study, part of the project "Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, lipemic disorders, hypertension, obesity and diabetes mellitus in a population of the metropolitan area of the southeastern region of Brazil", had the following objectives: a) the characterization and distribution among typical human socio-economic groupings, of the prevalence of some particular habits which constitute aspects of life-style-the use of tobacco, the use of alcohol and sedentary activity; b) the establishment of the interrelation between the above-mentioned habits and some lipemic disorders. The prevalence of the habits cited behaved in the following manner: the use of tobacco predominated among men, distributed uniformly throughout the social strata; among the women the average percentage of smokers was 18.9%, a significant difference occurring among the highest socio-economic class, where the average was of 40.2%. The sedentary style of life presented high prevalence, among both men and women with exception of the women of the highest socio-economic level and of the skilled working class. The use of alcohol, as one would expect, is a habit basically practised by the men, without any statistically significant differences between classes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Influência da dieta na concentração sérica de triglicerídeos
Article
Full-text available
  • Jan 2003
INTRODUÇÃO: Elevados níveis de triglicerídeos no soro estão associados com condições patogênicas que aceleram a aterosclerose, além de existirem evidências de que a hipertrigliceridemia é um fator de risco independente para doenças coronarianas, pois contribui para as cardiopatias devido a efeito aterogênico direto das lipoproteínas ricas em triglicerídeos. Variações muito grandes na dosagem do colesterol e triglicérides limitam sua utilização clínica. Estas variações podem ser analíticas, quando relacionadas a metodologia e a procedimentos utilizados pelos laboratórios, e pré-analíticas, quando se referem a fatores intrínsecos do indivíduo. OBJETIVOS: Usando o mesmo método laboratorial, analisaram-se possíveis alterações nos níveis lipídicos dos pacientes a fim de questionar a verdadeira validade de o jejum de 12 horas, anterior à punção, ser suficiente para que se possam realizar dosagens fidedignas com o perfil do paciente. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Foram analisados soros de 29 pacientes, colhidos em dois distintos dias: na segunda-feira e na quinta-feira da mesma semana. RESULTADOS: Podemos observar variações quanto à dosagem de triglicerídeos em diferentes dias da semana, quando os níveis de tal parâmetro, na segunda-feira apresentam-se mais elevados do que na quinta-feira, mesmo que o paciente tenha feito um rigoroso jejum de 12 horas antes de ambas as coletas. O colesterol total, a HDL, a LDL e a VLDL não se mostraram com variação estatisticamente significativas. Discussão: Sendo assim, o jejum recomendado de 12 horas não é suficiente para avaliar o real perfil lipídico do paciente.

  • Sep 2003
OBJETIVOS: Indivíduos obesos são mais predispostos à ocorrência de eventos cardiovasculares que indivíduos com peso normal. Para se avaliar o impacto da obesidade e da distribuição de gordura corporal sobre o risco cardiovascular, avaliamos uma população de indivíduos com sobrepeso ou obesidade. MÉTODOS: Foram feitas medidas do índice de massa corporal (IMC), da relação entre as medidas da cintura e do quadril (RCQ), da pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) e diastólica (PAD) e dos níveis da glicemia de jejum, colesterol total e triglicérides. RESULTADOS: Altas prevalências de intolerância à glicose ou diabetes (21,8%), hipercolesterolenemia (49,1%), hipertrigliceridemia (21,3%) e hipertensão arterial (43,8%) foram observadas nesta população. A prevalência de hipertensão aumentou de 23% no grupo com sobrepeso (IMC 25-29,9 kg/m²) para 67,1% (p<0.05) em pacientes com obesidade grau 3 (IMC > 40kg/m²). Também a prevalência de hipertensão aumentou de 35,7% naqueles com RCQ entre 0,73 e 0,88 para 66,6% naqueles com RCQ >0,97 (p<0,05), independente do IMC, e os valores da PAS se correlacionaram com as medidas da circunferência da cintura (r=0,35; p<0,0001). A PAS, entretanto, mostrou aumentos com o IMC apenas entre hipertensos, elevando-se de 150±12 mmHg naqueles com sobrepeso para 161±18mmHg naqueles com IMC > 40kg/m² (p<0,05). CONCLUSÃO: A obesidade favorece a ocorrência dos fatores de risco cardiovascular, sendo que a distribuição central da gordura corporal se destaca especialmente como fator importante no desenvolvimento da hipertensão arterial.

MÉTODOS: Casuística procedente de amostra probabilística de 25% dos laboratórios não-hospitalares da cidade que usavam o método enzimático para dosagem dos lípides séricos e controle de qualidade da Sociedade Brasileira de Patologia Clínica (93% do total); LDL estimado pela fórmula de Friedewald. Sorteados os meses ímpares de 1995 para o estudo. Critérios para dislipidemias, em mg/dl: colesterol superscript three 240; LDL superscript three 160; HDL <35 e triglicérides superscript three 200. Análise: prevalências, seus intervalos de confiança (IC) a 95% e qui-quadrado (chi²). RESULTADOS: Excluídos uma recusa e um laboratório que arquivava laudos só por 3 meses, foram analisados dados de 24 dos 26 laboratórios amostrados. Dos 7392 adultos, 65,5% eram mulheres. Prevalências estimadas e valores dos IC a 95% para homens, foram: hipercolesterolemia =24,0% (20,5; 27,5); LDL elevado =26,1 (22,4; 29,3); HDL baixo =15,9 (14,2; 17,8) e hipertrigliceridemia =27,6 (25,7; 29,5). Para mulheres: hipercolesterolemia =30,0 (27,8; 32,2), LDL elevado =33,1 (30,8; 35,4); HDL baixo =8,0 (7,1; 8,9) e hipertrigliceridemia =30,4 (29,0; 31,4). Todas as prevalências diferiram significantemente inter-gênero (p, 0,05 a p<0,001). Também foram mais freqüentes nas mulheres os níveis indesejáveis do colesterol e LDL. CONCLUSÃO: As dislipidemias são importante fator de risco para aterosclerose na demanda laboratorial de Salvador em ambos os gêneros. Os resultados subsidiam os médicos para incentivar mudanças no estilo de vida que conduzam seus pacientes a níveis lipídicos desejáveis.

Glucose Metabolism and Regulation: Beyond Insulin and Glucagon
Article
  • Jul 2004
  • Diabetes Spectrum
Insulin and glucagon are potent regulators of glucose metabolism. For decades, we have viewed diabetes from a bi-hormonal perspective of glucose regulation. This perspective is incomplete and inadequate in explaining some of the difficulties that patients and practitioners face when attempting to tightly control blood glucose concentrations. Intensively managing diabetes with insulin is fraught with frustration and risk. Despite our best efforts, glucose fluctuations are unpredictable, and hypoglycemia and weight gain are common. These challenges may be a result of deficiencies or abnormalities in other glucoregulatory hormones. New understanding of the roles of other pancreatic and incretin hormones has led to a multi-hormonal view of glucose homeostasis.
