OBJECTIVE UK Indian adults have higher risks of coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes than Indian and UK European adults. With growing evidence that these diseases originate in early life, we compared cardiometabolic risk markers in Indian, UK Indian and white European

OBJECTIVE To assess serum homocysteine levels and its association with conventional risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Indian adolescents. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study conducted in tertiary care hospital in northern India in apparently healthy adolescents aged 10-19 yr. A

Navajo Indians have been reported by earlier investigators to have low concentrations of serum lipids and a low prevalence of hyperlipidemia, as well as low rates of ischemic heart disease. However, no data on serum lipid concentrations among Navajos have been reported for more than two decades. The

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the lipid parameters in normal Indian children. METHODS Cross-sectional. METHODS Hospital based. METHODS 410 children (siblings of hospitalized pediatric cases) between 3-12 years were evaluated for total plasma cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) and high density lipoprotein

BACKGROUND A close association between Sst I polymorphism in the 3' untranslated region of the apolipoproteinC3 (APOC3) gene and levels of plasma triglycerides (TG) had been reported by different investigators. Hypertriglyceridemia(HTG) is a known risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) in the

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifactorial disease, and family history is the best available tool to assess gene-environment interaction. This study addressed the heritability of quantitative traits, namely lipid, coagulation/fibrinolysis and pro-inflammatory markers in the ongoing

Dyslipidaemia when diagnosed in childhood predicts the development of clinical atherosclerotic disease in adulthood. Ever since we became aware of the abnormally high incidence of coronary artery disease amongst Indians, there always has been an ever-growing need for study of lipid values amongst

Data suggest that lipid fractions other than total cholesterol, i.e. serum triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are important for the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. A combination of hypertriglyceridemia, low levels of HDL-cholesterol and high levels of small dense

OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at finding out the efficacy of Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) in identifying the individuals with increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MS) phenotype. METHODS A total of 1007 (645 males and 362 females) rural participants aged ≥ 20 years took part in the

An increased prevalence of coronary heart disease in Asian Indian both from the native country and the immigrant population has been known for some time. With around 15,000,000 Asian Indians living outside India including 1,500,000 in the UK and 1,000,000 in the US, various pathogenic factors have

The present study was conducted to study the morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics of Indian National boxers as well as to assess the cardiovascular adaptation to graded exercise and actual boxing round. Two different studies were conducted. In the first study [N = 60, (junior

The glycemic index (GI) was determined in 36 non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients who were fed 50 g carbohydrate portions of six Indian conventional foods, including rice, a combination of rice-legume (Bengalgram, peas, and greengram), and a combination of rice-dal (greengram dal and

Serum lipoprotein concentrations differ markedly in the various ethnic groups which compose Israel's immigrant population. A group of subjects belonging to a community of "Bnei Israel" Indians, consisting of 21 women and 16 men between the ages of 30 and 60 years, was studied 10 years after

To determine serum lipid levels and their correlates in one of the world's most isolated populations, 62 adult Yanomamo Indians from the Amazonian rain forest were examined. After measurement of body weight and height, and estimation of age, casual blood samples were obtained. Estimated age ranged

Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of specific risk factors, namely, central obesity, raised blood pressure, impaired fasting glucose, raised triglycerides, and low levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C). This constellation is triggered by insulin resistance and its resultant
