Does waist circumference predict cardiometabolic and global Framingham risk among women screened during National Woman 's Heart Day?
Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and/or impaired fasting glucose were newly identified in approximately half the women screened. Waist size significantly correlated with clustering of risk factors, global Framingham risk score, CVD and diabetes, suggesting it may be an easily measured surrogate for women at increased risk of future cardiovascular clinical events who may benefit from further assessment and intervention.
The amino acid mixture used enhanced the ACTH, LH, and FSH response to CRH + GnRH.
