The American Heart Association conference entitled
"Obesity: Impact on Cardiovascular Disease" was
held May 22–24, 1998, in Amelia Island, Fla. It was cosponsored by
Futura Media Services and the American Heart Association Councils on
Cardiovascular Nursing;
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology;
Cardiovascular Disease in the Young; Clinical
Cardiology; Epidemiology and
Prevention; and High Blood Pressure Research; the AHA Nutrition
Committee; and the AHA Prevention Coordinating Committee. The
proceedings are summarized briefly in this report. A monograph of the
conference will be published by Futura Publishing Company, Inc.
Obesity is an important determinant of cardiovascular
disease (CVD). Previous epidemiological studies of obesity have
documented a modest association of obesity and risk of CVD, especially
in younger age groups. The study of obesity and CVD should now focus on
weight change over time, especially differences between childhood
versus younger and older adult weight gains, and the distribution of
body fat, especially visceral or intra-abdominal fat. Weight gain
during young adult life may be one of the most important determinants
of cardiovascular risk factors. Increased
intra-abdominal fat, or waist circumference, is probably related to a
constellation of risk factors, the so-called insulin resistance
syndrome. It is also associated with higher levels of inflammatory
markers such as C-reactive protein and fibrinogen.
Age and Sex as Determinants of Obesity
The increasing prevalence of obesity in children is cause for
great concern. There is no definition of obesity in children that
relates body mass index (BMI) to health outcomes. However, >20% of
children aged 6 to 17 years are >20% overweight at the . . . [Full Text of this Article]
