Why the study?

Does hypertriglyceridemic waist identify high-risk carotid atherosclerosis features beyond traditional risk scores in men?

Population

467 white men, mean age 45.9±14.8 years (range 19.4-77.6 years)

Design

Cross-sectional

Overview

HTW was associated with carotid LRNC volume in men; hypothesis-generating for prospective risk stratification studies.

Structured PICO

Does hypertriglyceridemic waist identify high-risk carotid atherosclerosis features beyond traditional risk scores in men?

Population

467 white men, mean age 45.9±14.8 years (range 19.4-77.6 years)

Intervention

Hypertriglyceridemic waist (elevated triglycerides ≥2 mmol/L and waist circumference ≥90 cm)

Outcome

Carotid atherosclerosis characteristics (maximum wall thickness, wall volume, normalized wall index, Carotid Atherosclerosis Score, and lipid-rich necrotic core volume) examined by magnetic resonance imagingsurrogate

Hypertriglyceridemic waist is a simple clinical marker that improves the identification of high-risk carotid atherosclerosis features beyond traditional risk scores like FRS and PDAY in men.
