hypercholesterolemia/potato

OBJECTIVE We asked whether under-reporting of energy and cigarette smoking were associated with choice of foods and dietary composition amongst subjects with hypercholesterolaemia who had received dietary instruction to lower serum cholesterol. METHODS Dietary intake was assessed with a 4-day

The evidence about the effect of dietary patterns on blood cholesterol from cohort studies was very scarce. The study was to identify the association of dietary patterns with lipid profile, especially cholesterol, in a cohort in north China. Using a 1-year food frequency questionnaire, we assessed

Introduction: Limited studies are available regarding the relationship between Food Quality Score (FQS) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate the association of FQS with CVD risk factors in women. Methods: This cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND Although a relationship between diet and mortality is well recognized, there is little information on the extent to which different food sources contribute to survival in elderly people. OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of individual food groups on mortality in institutionalized elderly

OBJECTIVE To report a case of significant additive gastrointestinal effects with concomitant use of orlistat and an olestra-containing snack food. METHODS A 16-year-old African American girl with type 2 diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension was participating in a pilot study that tested

BACKGROUND In individuals at high cardiovascular risk, such as patients with hyperlipidaemia, low dietary fat intake is used to reduce this risk. The aim of the present study was to identify determinants of (saturated) fat intake in hyperlipidaemic patients. METHODS Cross sectional study in a lipid

Semipurified diets produce a marked hypercholesterolemia in rabbits and tend to elevate the level of plasma cholesterol in rats. They also decrease rates of oxidation of [26-14C]cholesterol to respiratory 14CO2 and excretion of label in fecal lipid, compared with commercial feed. In both species,

Rabbits become hypercholesterolemic when transferred from commercial feed to a low fat, cholesterol-free semisynthetic diet. The role of different dietary components in mediating this effect was investigated by varying the composition of the semisynthetic diet and of the commerical feed. Addition of
