“…This is possible with the HeartScore management tool with the update provided by the guidelines on CV disease prevention in clinical practice issued by the Fourth Joint European Task Force. 21 Moreover, the age spectrum of the studied population in the Framingham study 19 (in which FRS is based) was 30-74 years whereas in the SCORE project 20 (in which HS is based) was 40-64 years. Thus, it is recommended to use these algorithms only in patients of these age spectrums.…”

Cardiovascular risk factor(s) prevalence in Greek hypertensives. Effect of gender and age

et al. 2011

The aim of this study was to determine cardiovascular (CV) risk factors (RFs) and target organ damage clustering in 21280 Greek hypertensives stratified by gender and age. Glycemic and lipid profile were determined, left ventricular mass index, estimated gromerular filtration rate (eGFR), 10-years CV risk according to Framingham risk score (FRS) and HeartScore (HS) were calculated. Only 10.2% of patients had no concomitant RFs, 53.1% had one (48.8% dyslipidemia, 3.4% smoking, 0.9% diabetes), 32.9% had two (26% dyslipidemia and smoking, 6.6% dyslipidemia and diabetes, 0.3% smoking and diabetes) and 3.7% had all four traditional RFs. Obesity was present in 30%, metabolic syndrome in 38%, low eGFR in 24% and left ventricular hypertrophy in 49%. Mean FRS risk was 35% for males, 24.1% for females whereas in high risk (420%) were 68.7 and 50.7%, respectively (Po0.0001). Mean HS risk was 8.4% for males, 6.2% for females whereas in high risk (45%) were 48.6 and 36.2%, respectively (Po0.0001). Age was correlated to pulse pressure, eGFR, left ventricular mass index and CV risk (Po0.0001). Ageing increased the risk difference between genders for total (P ¼ 0.001) but not for fatal events (P ¼ nonsignificant). In conclusion, as RFs cluster in hypertensives, CV risk calculation should guide treatment decisions.

Objective. This study evaluated the effect of moderate weight loss on the incidence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in middle-aged overweight and obese women, without clinical and radiologic knee OA at baseline. Methods. A total of 353 women (87%) with followup data available were selected from the Prevention of Knee Osteoarthritis in Overweight Females study, which evaluated the preventive effect of a diet and exercise intervention and of oral glucosamine sulfate on the incidence of knee OA. This was an exploratory proof-of-concept analysis, which compared the incidence of knee OA between women who reached the clinically relevant weight loss target of 5 kg or 5% of body weight after 30 months and those who did not reach this target. Results. The weight loss group showed a significantly lower incidence of knee OA according to the primary outcome measure, which was composed of the American College of Rheumatology criteria (clinical and radiographic), Kellgren/Lawrence grade ‡2, and joint space narrowing ‡1.0 mm (15% versus 20%; odds ratio 0.5, 95% confidence interval 0.3-0.9). Moreover, the weight loss also positively affected several health measures, such as blood glucose level, body fat percentage, and blood pressure. Conclusion. A reduction of ‡5 kg or 5% of body weight over a 30-month period reduces the risk for the onset of radiographic knee OA in middle-aged overweight and obese women. Because of the slow progression of the disease, a longer followup period will be necessary before the number of prevented cases of knee OA by moderate weight loss becomes clinically more relevant.

“…Waist circumference was measured to the nearest centimeter and classified into two groups: (1) normal or elevated (men <102 cm, women <88 cm), and (2) high risk (men ≥102 cm, women ≥88 cm). International definitions [23,24] were used for the risk factor cutoff points (see Table 1). …”

Perceived Sufficiency of Physical Activity Levels Among Adults at High Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: The FIN-D2D Study

Poskiparta, M. (2012). Perceived sufficiency of physical activity levels among adults at high risk of type 2 diabetes. The FIN-D2D study. International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 21 (1), 99-108. doi:10.1007/s12529-012-9285-7 2012 Final Draft International Journal of Behavioral MedicinePerceived sufficiency of physical activity levels among adults at high risk of type 2 diabetes. The FIN-D2D study Purpose. This study assessed the determinants of perceived physical activity levels (PALs) among adults at high risk of diabetes, and the associations with self-reported physical activity. Methods. In total, 10,149 adults participated in the FIN-D2D lifestyle intervention at baseline. Opportunistic screening was used in identifying high risk individuals. Physical activity and perceived PAL sufficiency were assessed and compared. Key risk factors for diabetes and psychosocial and demographic characteristics were analyzed as determinants using logistic regression. Results. PAL sufficiency was rated realistically by 73% of men and 75% of women. Perception of sufficient PAL was more likely among individuals with a smaller waist circumference, a higher level of perceived fitness, and no exercise intention. In men, a higher age, and in women, a lower education, and a lower occupational status, also Powered by Editorial Manager® and Preprint Manager® from Aries Systems Corporationincreased the likelihood of perceiving PAL as sufficient. Out of all the participants, 65% of men and 66% of women were inactive. Among the inactive participants, 20% (men) and 16% (women) overestimated their PAL sufficiency. In both genders such overestimation was predicted by dyslipidemia, a lower waist circumference, a higher level of perceived fitness, and no exercise intention; also (among men) by a higher age and a family history of diabetes, and (among women) by a lower occupational status, and a lower BMI. Conclusions. In diabetes prevention, it is important to recognize the groups that perceive their PAL as sufficient, since they may not see increased PAL as a tool for decreasing their risk of diabetes.Response to Reviewers: Dear Editor and Reviewer #1, Thank you for your comments regarding our manuscript. We are pleased to hear the manuscript is ready to be accepted with minor changes. We have made the corrections as suggested, please see below;1) The last referee comment (item 9) about content and presentation of Associate Editor -could the authors please add the total N of participants in each category of each independent variable, for both men and women, to Table 2 (i.e., two new columns preceding the % columns, indicating the number of participants in each category).Authors' comment: We have now added new columns with the total N of participants (men and women) in each category.To be more reader-friendly, we have now also defined family history of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, waist-circumference in the footnotes of each table.
