Association between body mass index and cardiovascular disease mortality in east Asians and south Asians: pooled analysis of prospective data from the Asia Cohort Consortium

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the association between body mass index and mortality from overall cardiovascular disease and specific subtypes of cardiovascular disease in east and south Asians.Design Pooled analyses of 20 prospective cohorts in Asia, including data from 835 082 east Asians and 289 815 south Asians. Cohorts were identified through a systematic search of the literature in early 2008, followed by a survey that was sent to each cohort to assess data availability.

Protective Effect Of Aabresham (Bombyx Mori) Against Atherosclerosis

“…Our study coincides with the results of P. Jeemon and K. S. Reddy. 17 Almost 12% (24) subjects under study were found to had a positive family history of cardiovascular diseases and the remaining 72% (36) subjects had no family history of CVD. Our study demonstrated the same results as by Arvind K et al 18 suggested that family history may have a "dose-dependent" effect, where individuals with more robust family histories of CHD are at greater risk of developing CVDs.…”

Obesity Prevalence and its Associated Risk Factors in Women of Ha’il Region in Saudi Arabia

“…The inconsistent association of BMI and CVD has been previously reported. High BMI was found to be weak risk factor for mortality from cardiovascular disease in south Asians [17] . Fluctuating body weight rather than obesity has been associated with risk of stroke and increased mortality [18] .…”

Clinical profile of patients undergoing coronary angiography with special reference to complications of coronary angiography

“…5 Studies conducted in other parts of the world also show similar evidences. [6][7][8][9] Commonest complication of CAG in our study group is haematoma. 15% patients had haematoma out of 100 patients.…”
