BACKGROUND
Peripheral artery disease (PAD), an important component of the cardiovascular triad, has been linked with obesity as one of the risk factors for its development. The risk posed by obesity however varies depending on the indices measured.
METHODS
We compared the relationship of measures of
Background: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) present a high prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome, as well as diseases related to cardiovascular dysfunction. However, whether obesity influences walking capacity and
BACKGROUND
Our objectives were to determine whether obesity is associated with a greater functional decline compared with the ideal body mass index (BMI) among persons with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and to determine the associations between weight gain and loss and functional declines in
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to identify any relationship between obesity and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in diabetic subjects.
METHODS
Male and female diabetic subjects aged 50-89 years. Body mass index (BMI) was used to estimate total body weight and the waist-to- hip ratio (WHR) as well as waist
OBJECTIVE
To recognize the correlation between lower-extremity functional status and obesity in patients with type-2 DM with PAD complication (with and without peripheral arterial disease).
METHODS
the study was a cross-sectional study conducted at Outpatients Clinic of Internal Medicine, Dr.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between organochlorine (OC) pesticides and the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
RESULTS
This study included 2032 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2004), in which the
Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disorders, including peripheral arterial disease. This review outlines the evidence for a 6-step process for the management of obesity, starting with identifying the degree and type of obesity, followed by target setting, life style and behavioural
BACKGROUND
Cardiac events are the predominant cause of late mortality in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). In these patients, mortality decreases with increasing body mass index (BMI). COPD is identified as a cardiac risk factor, which preferentially affects underweight individuals.
OBJECTIVE
Obesity is an independent cardiovascular risk factor, but its prognostic role in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is not well defined. Accordingly, we assessed the impact of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) on cardiovascular risk in a homogeneous cohort of
OBJECTIVE
To determine which metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors are associated with the change in ankle brachial pressure index and incident peripheral arterial disease over 9 years, and whether these associations differ between healthy weight and overweight & obese
Background peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common complication in patients undergoing dialysis, which reduces the quality of life and increases the risk of mortality. Recent literature has documented an association between increased visceral fat (VF) content and a proatherogenic factors in
BACKGROUND
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a leading cause of morbidity in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Recent evidence suggests that abdominal obesity (AO) may play a role in PAD. However, the association between AO and PAD has not been thoroughly studied in HD patients.
METHODS
The present
Background We conducted an analysis of data from the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study to assess the independent association of obesity with peripheral artery disease ( PAD ) and critical limb ischemia ( CLI ). Methods and Results All black and white ARIC participants without
BACKGROUND
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the aortoiliac segment is found in nearly a half of patients with PAD. The aim of this study was to estimate the influence of obesity and fat distribution on the occurrence of aortoiliac PAD in middle-aged men.
METHODS
This case-control study included
OBJECTIVE
This systematic review aimed to summarise published evidence that has assessed the association of obesity with major cardiovascular events (CVEs) (non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, cardiovascular death) in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
