Abstract: Abstract of thesis A case control study on smoking, alcohol drinking and other risk factors of coronary heart disease in Hong Kong submitted by CHUNG Siu Fung for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in December 2000 Objective: To find out the risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Hong Kong Chinese, and to quantify the level of risks. Design: A case control study. Settings: Three major hospitals on Hong Kong Island (for patients) and the whole territory of Hong Kong (for community controls). Subjects: The cases were 588 patients who were diagnosed with at least one coronary artery stenosed for 50% or more by coronary angiography. The two series of controls were: (a) 1091 healthy persons - "community controls," and (b) 331 patients with normal angiogram -"angiogram normal controls." Data collection instruments: Two questionnaires were used to collect information about risk factors by interviewing or self completion. Diagnoses were obtained from the reports of the cardiologists who were responsible for the angiography. Anthropometric and lipid data were obtained by standard methods or were abstracted from hospital records. Variables studied: The outcome measure was the CHD disease status with CHD patients as cases and non-CHD subjects as controls. The risk factors that were included in the study were personal and family medical history, smoking, passive smoking, alcohol drinking, lipid profiles, anthropometric measurements, physical activities, plant-derived food consumption, worries and types of reaction to anger. The risks were estimated by odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Results: Ever-smoking was found to be a risk factor for CHD in both genders, in both younger age group and older age group, and in both subjects with high total cholesterol and low total cholesterol. It was also a significant risk factor for the severity of coronary artery stenosis. Alcohol drinking was a protective factor for CHD in both genders, in both the younger age group and older age group, and in both subjects with high total cholesterol and low total cholesterol. However, it was significantly associated with the severity of coronary artery stenosis in some subsets of subjects only. High consumption of Chinese tea was another protective factor for CHD. No association was observed for total cholesterol but high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) was an independent factor for CHD in men and triglyceride was an independent factor for CHD in women. Conclusions: Ever-smoking is a strong risk factor, and alcohol consumption and Chinese tea consumption are protective factors for CHD in both genders, in different age groups, and in different total cholesterol concentrations. Implications: The strong evidence on smoking would support stronger tobacco control measures. Measurements of HDL and triglyceride are needed as total cholesterol alone appears not adequate. The results on the many risk and protective factors should support an urgent introduction of a comprehensive heart health policy in Hong Kong.

Download or read book The Epidemiology of Diabetes Mellitus written by Jean Marie Ekoé and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of this book gained recognition as the definitive textbook of diabetes epidemiology. The second edition builds on this success, gathering recent information on international trends and data for diabetes mellitus. In particular, the book highlights the dramatic rise of Type 2 diabetes in children, adolescents and the elderly throughout the world. One new section features prevention and screening of both Type1 and Type 2 diabetes. Other new chapters cover the epidemiology of obesity and the impact of nutrition, and review available guidelines for better worldwide glycemic control. Future challenges, including the effects of antipsychotic treatment and HIV infection and therapy on diabetes, are also addressed. All chapters have been completely revised and updated, covering: definitions, classification and risk factors for diabetes new evidence for screening and prevention of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes epidemiology of complications and associated risk factors economic aspects: the direct and indirect costs of diabetes. The Epidemiology of Diabetes Mellitus fills the need for a current compendium of diabetes epidemiology in the tradition of the first monumental text of the late Kelly West. It is essential reading for general practitioners, diabetologists, clinical endocrinologists, cardiologists, epidemiologists, nurses, dieticians, and other diabetes care providers, as well as health care decision makers.

Download or read book Genetics of Hypertension written by Anna F. Dominiczak and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic and modern tools of genetics have been applied to hypertension research for some 20 years. This volume in the Handbook of Hypertension series aims to go beyond a simple summary of discoveries and provides a critical commentary on many controversial issues. It will be particularly useful for clinician scientists at all stages of their careers, graduate students and post-doctoral scientists as well as all those interested in cardiovascular medicine and research throughout the entire spectrum from bench to bedside. As in every relatively young area of research, the initial excitement over the early positive observations has not always been confirmed by subsequent larger studies with greater statistical power. Issues related to current recommendations on design of studies and their analysis are therefore included. Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics have been the subjects of many debates in recent years and are of particular importance in hypertension as life-long treatments, frequently with multiple drugs are given to millions of people world-wide. A critical appraisal of this controversial topic is provided. Several chapters on experimental genetics of hypertension with a special focus on physiological genomics are also included.
