We evaluated the proportion of US adults with and without these conditions at (and distance to) recommended levels of LDL-C, non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HDL-C), HDL-C, and triglycerides. Methods We analyzed data from adults aged ≥20 who had fasted for 8 or more hours...
Although women were more likely than men to be at recommended levels for LDL-C and non–HDL-C, HDL-C was more likely to be normal in men. In addition, the proportion with HDL-C ≥60 mg/dL was much lower for men than for women (18% vs 44%, P < .001) (data not shown). A...
A double-blind study demonstrated that 10mg ofmelatoningiven at 8pm for 6 weeks is an effective treatment for tardivedyskinesia, although the magnitude of the effect was only modest. Other natural substances that have been reported to improve tardive dyskinesia includevitamin E,manganeseandvitamin B6....
Apo A-1 was higher in the active men (p = 0.032). No significant differences were found for TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, TC:HDL-C, triglycerides, Apo B, or the Apo B:A-1 ratio. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that physical activity performed according to the recommendations used in this ...
The ratio of HDL- to total-cholesterol has been shown to be significantly lower invegansas compared to lacto-ovo-vegetarians. The recommended minimum ratio of HDL total cholesterol is below 5, optimal being below 3.5 according to the American Heart Association. ...
Methods 105 obese Japanese men were enrolled in this study with a 1-year follow-up. Anthropometric and body composition parameters, i.e. height, body weight, body fat percentage, waist circumference and hip circumference, blood pressure, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol and blood sugar, were ...
After adjusting for behavioural risk factors, demographic factors, and overall diet quality, each additional daily consumption of soft drink was associated with a 0.06 mmol/L decrease in HDL-cholesterol, and a 0.18 unit increase in HbA1c (Table 6). However, there was a soft drink–gender ...
ITT analyses studying the effect on fasting non-HDL-C (primary outcome measure) were also performed with five imputation data sets. Randomization (blocking of 12; SAS proc factex) and statistical analysis were performed using SAS 9.3 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA). Data were blinded for ...
