Hypertriglyceridemic waist: A marker of the atherogenic metabolic triad (hyperinsulinemia; hyperapolipoprotein B; small, dense LDL) in men?
It is suggested that the simultaneous measurement and interpretation of waist circumference and fasting TG could be used as inexpensive screening tools to identify men characterized by the atherogenic metabolic triad (hyperinsulinemia, elevated apo B, small, dense LDL) and at high risk for CAD.
This study demonstrates that coinfected patients are at an increased risk for developing hepatotoxicity, but the clinical and immunological benefits of HAART are higher than the risk of hepatotoxicity and rarely justify discontinuation of therapy.
