"Purpose
This study evaluated the impact of obesity on cardiometabolic risk factors (CRF) interrelationships and predictive efficiency of CVD development in older African (AA) and European Americans (EA). Design A comparative research design evaluated CRF risk profile differences between participant groups. Setting Seven neighborhoods in a southern US city. Subjects A sample of 179 older AA (n = 128) and EA (n = 51) adults. Measures Non-fasting blood samples were evaluated for lipids and lipoproteins, glycosylated hemoglobin, systolic –(SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF%) and physical function. Analysis Data were analysis with descriptive statistics, t-tests, and correlations. Results AA were heavier than EA although all had above average age-appropriate fitness. Means and relationships between CRF and other variables were different (P Conclusions A limitation of this report is the small sample size. Although further research is warranted, these findings suggest population specific CRF selections would improve CVD prediction in AA." |
