Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors and Outcomes in the Twenty-First Century: Findings from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study

Abstract: REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) is a longitudinal study supported by the National Institutes of Health to determine the disparities in stroke-related mortality across USA. REGARDS has published a body of work designed to understand the disparities in prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of coronary heart disease (CHD) and its risk factors in a biracial national cohort. REGARDS has focused on racial and geographical disparities in the quality and access to health care,… Show more

“…According to the International Diabetes Federation -IDF (2005), one quarter of the global adult population has the syndrome. [5][6][7] The MS was originally named Metabolic Syndrome X and there are a large number of criteria for its diagnosis, including the EGIR -European Group for the These criteria for diagnosis include glycemia disorders related to insulin resistance (IR); elevated BMI; elevated triglycerides and low HDL-c (high density lipoprotein); and high blood pressure. 5,[8][9][10] There is consensus in the recent literature that there are at least six criteria that define the presence of MS: obesity, waist circumference (> 102 cm in males or > 88 cm in females), IR (fasting glycemia greater than 100mg/dL), elevated triglycerides (> 150 mg/dL) and low HDL-c (< 40 mg/dL no male sex or < 50 mg/dL in female sex), arterial hypertension (BP > 130⁄85 mm Hg) and a proinflammatory and pro-thrombotic state.…”

“…People who have three or more of the criteria listed above are considered to have the syndrome. 4,7,[11][12][13][14] It is possible to detect MS in people with normal BMI and so obesity can be defined as a risk factor, but is not present in all those with the syndrome.…”

“…Caracteriza-se pela presença de um conjunto de fatores que elevam o risco de desenvolver DM2 e DCV, como obesidade, dislipidemia, pressão arterial elevada, resistência à insulina e estado pró-inflamatório e pró-trombótico [5][6][7][8]. Com objetivo de adotar uma definição unificada para a SM, foi delineada e organizada pela International Diabetes Federation uma definição de consenso.…”

“…Com objetivo de adotar uma definição unificada para a SM, foi delineada e organizada pela International Diabetes Federation uma definição de consenso. Nesse consenso atribuiu-se papel importante à obesidade, aferida pela circunferência abdominal e pelo índice de massa corpórea; à elevação nos valores sanguíneos de glicose (resistência à insulina ou intolerância à glicose) e de triacilglicerídeos; à diminuição nos valores da lipoproteína de alta densidade ligada ao colesterol (HDL-c); e à presença de hipertensão arterial [3,8,9].…”
