LDL-P (LDL particle number) measures the actual number of LDL particles (particle concentration, nmol/L). It appears that LDL-P may be a stronger predictor of cardiovascular events than LDL-C. Low LDL-P is a much stronger predictor of low risk than low LDL-C. In fact, about 30 – 4...
Non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C) is a fraction that can be easily calculated from a traditional lipid panel. The value is strongly associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Over the years, LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) has been the most commonly used lipid variable to predict risk (1)...
Then, if you are walking a mile a day, this calculated value is multiplied by the number of minutes it takes you to walk that one mile. Below, we’ve created a chart that uses these METs values for various walking speeds and conditions to calculate the approximate number of calories burne...
You take your triglycerides and you divide it by your HDL and if that number is under 1.0, hello, you are rocking it with lowering your cardiovascular risks no matter what your LDL and total cholesterol is. That’s a new way to look at things, and people don’t understand that there’...
Sometimes, cardiorespiratory fitness is expressed in METs, a measure of metabolic energy. (METs are calculated by taking your VO2 max score and dividing it by 3.5.) One MET is the amount of oxygen a person uses while seated and at rest. If your exertion level rises to two METS, that me...
Studies have shown that there is a disruption of sleep patterns, a reduction in physical activity, as well as a change in the number and meals.5 Indeed, in the Moroccan cultural habits, the fasting period of the day is broken by a feasting period with high caloric content of meals6. ...
s cells manufacture proteins based on their epigenetic state, the proteins are dispersed in the blood, some of these are received by other cells and affect the epigenetic state of those cells. This is a feedback loop with a whole-body reach, and it is a good candidate for a clock ...
The figure is calculated by subtracting the quantity of indigestible carbs (insoluble fibre and a few sugar alcohols) from total carbs. However, this calculation is never dependable or an actual science. “Ketogenic” is a term for a low-carb diet (like the Atkins diet). ...
Colleague Thomas W. Wakefield , MD, added, “Just stopping inflammation alone will not inhibit thrombosis. You have to target the interaction between inflammation and thrombosis, which is why we think P- selectin or leukocyte-derived microparticles would make good therapeutic targets." ...
The main finding of this study is that an exercise intervention implemented in a community setting with high-applicability exercise strategies, developed with low-cost material resources, and taking advantage of the local sports infrastructures, resulted in significant health benefits for the participants...
