Cardiopulmonary fitness is independently associated with insulin resistance in non-diabetes mellitus patients of a university h
Cardiology | PBF | Jee-Yon Lee | 2013 | Korea | Korean Journal of Family Medicine
Background Insulin resistance, decreased response of peripheral tissue to normal insulin levels, is known to be related to cardiometabolic diseases. Cardiopulmonary fitness is also considered to be related to these comorbidities. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between insulin resistance and cardiopulmonary fitness by performing a 3-minute step test in a Korean non-diabetes mellitus (DM) population. Methods A total of 118 non-DM subjects were enrolled during their routine health check-up. Insulin resistance was measured by …
Combined aerobic and resistance exercise is effective for achieving weight loss and reducing cardiovascular risk factors withou

Endocrinology & Metabolism
Purpose Weight loss reduces cardiovascular risk factors in the obese. However, weight reduction through diet negatively affects long-term bone health. The aim of study was to determine the ability of combined aerobic and resistance exercise (CE) to reduce weight and cardiovascular risk without diminishing bone health. Methods Twenty-five young adults participated in an 8-week weight loss CE program. Subjects were allocated to an obese group or a control group by body mass index (BMI). Body weight, BMI, body composition …
Effect of long-term resistance exercise on body composition, blood lipid factors, and vascular compliance in the hypertensive e
Cardiology | FFM, PBF | Hyun-sub Kim et al. | 2013 | Korea | Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation
Hypertension is designated as either essential (primary) hypertension or secondary hypertension and is defined as a consistently elevated blood pressure exceeding 140/90 mmHg. Hypertension is called “the silent killer” because it often causes no symptoms for many years, even decades, until it finally damages certain critical organs. In various causes of hypertension, obesity is an increasing health problem worldwide, and several epidemiological studies have identified a positive association between obesity and an …
Estimating exercise capacity from walking tests in elderly individuals with stable coronary artery disease
Cardiology | SMM, PBF | Sandra Mandic et al. | 2013 | New Zealand | Disability and Rehabilitation
Purpose: Compared with symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), timed walking tests are cheaper, well-tolerated and simpler alternative for assessing exercise capacity in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. We developed multivariate models for predicting peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) from 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance and peak shuttle walk speed for elderly stable CAD patients. Methods: Fifty-eight CAD patients (72 SD 6 years, 66% men) completed:(1) CPET with expired gas analysis on a cycle …
Body adiposity index and other indexes of body composition in the SAPHIR study: association with cardiovascular risk factors
Cardiology | BFM | Andreas Melmer et al. | 2013 | Austria | Obesity
Objective: The accuracy of anthropometric surrogate markers such as the body adiposity index (BAI) and other common indexes like the body mass index (BMI), waist‐to‐hip ratio (WHR) and waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) to predict metabolic sequelae is essential for its use in clinical practice. Design and Methods: Thus, we evaluated the strength of BAI and other indexes to relate with anthropometric parameters, adipocytokines, blood lipids, parameters of glucose‐homeostasis and blood pressure in 1,770 patients from the Salzburg …
Implication of high‐body‐fat percentage on cardiometabolic risk in middle‐aged, healthy, normal‐weight adults
Cardiology | BW, BFM, PBF | Ji Young Kim | 2013 | Korea | Obesity
Objective This study investigated the number of Korean adults who had a normal body mass index (BMI) but high body‐fat percentage (BF%) and determined their increased risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, including high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. Design and Methods This cross‐sectional study was based on 12,386 subjects (6,534 men and 5,852 women), with a normal BMI, between 30 and 49 years of age. Subjects were categorized into two groups by BF%(normal BF% group, BF%< 25 for …
Metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance are associated with abnormal left ventricular diastolic function and structure indepe
Cardiology | BFM | You-Cheol Hwang | 2012 | Korea | INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY
Background Abnormal left ventricular (LV) structure and diastolic function are frequently detected in a variety of heart diseases, and insulin resistance has been suggested to be associated with LV diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). The aims of this study were to determine the association between LVDD or LV structure and metabolic syndrome (MetS) or insulin resistance, and whether or not the associations are independent of age, blood pressure, and plasma glucose level. Methods A total of 1599 subjects (1161 men and 398 women), 25–83 …
