Below 3.5 to 1:This ratio is considered optimal, putting you at very low risk for heart disease. Healthcare providers prefer to see cholesterol levels in this range, but it is not necessarily unhealthy for your levels to be slightly higher than this. Between 3.5 and 5 to 1:This ratio is...
Thus far, the prevalence of NWCO in the general Chinese population has never been assessed and revealed across a wide time range, let alone by using multiple definitions of NWCO simultaneously (i.e., combinations of BMI and WHtR, BMI and WHtR, BMI and WHR). Moreover, the association ...
An interview is presented with construction industry women employees and executives including Jan Vacca of Harman Group, Connie Crawford of Louis Berger Group and construction worker Katrina Kudzia.

The prevalence of high WC and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was higher in women, while high blood pressure, high triglyceride levels and having at least one metabolic risk factor were more prevalent in men. Individuals in the highest category of normal BMI had significantly ...
Serum LDL-C levels, even within the range currently considered normal, is independently associated with the presence and extent of subclinical atherosclerosis in multiple vascular territories. TRANSLATIONAL OUTLOOK: The high global cardiovascular burden of cardiovascular disease makes effective primordial ...
The upper normoglycemic range has been proposed as a risk factor for degenerative rotator cuff tendon tear (RCT), and insulin resistance has been suggested as a risk factor for tendinopathy. However, no research has established their association with degenerative RCT in the general population. This...
This association could not be explained by a rise in BMI into the overweight or obese range. We observed a persistent association between higher trunk fat and increased risk of ER-positive breast cancer in women who remained in the normal BMI range during the follow-up period. Elevated trunk ...
ESI parameters were optimized and preset for all measurements as follows: Source temperature, 300 °C, Capillary Temp, 350 °C, the ion spray voltage was set at 3000 V, S-Lens RF Level was set at 50% and the scan range of the instruments was set at m/z 200–1800. Reversed ...
Overall, the mean SBP level was 111.3 (10.0) mm Hg, the mean DBP level was 67.5 (8.3) mm Hg, and the median 10-year pooled cohort equations ASCVD risk was 3.0% (interquartile range, 1.1%-6.7%). The proportion of women in each SBP decile decreased with increasing SBP level. There ...
A healthy or normal LDL cholesterol level is less than 100 mg/dL. An LDL level of between 100 and 128 mg/dL is common, but above the optimal range. High LDL is anything at or above 160 mg/dL. If you’re at this level, you should probably be treated with a statin or other choles...
