Concluded that all the excess risk of coronary heart disease in the obese derives from its atherogenic accompaniments, illogically leaving the impression that obesity is therefore unimportant. Mann GV. N Engl J Med 1974; 291:226-232. “The contribution of obesity to CHD is either small or non-existent. It cannot be expected that treating obesity is either logical or a promising approach to the management of CHD”. Barrett-Connor EL. Ann Intern Med 1985; 103:1010-1019 NIH consensus panel is equivocal about the role of obesity as a cause of CHD.

Relation of Weight Change to Changes in Atherogenic Traits: The Framingham Study Frantz Ashley, Jr. and William B Kannel J Chronic Dis 1974 “Weight gain is accompanied by atherogenic alterations in blood lipids, blood pressure, uric acid and carbohydrate tolerance.” “It seems reasonable to expect that correction of overweight will improve the coronary risk problem.” “Avoidance of overweight would seem a desirable goal in the general population if the appalling annual toll from disease is to be substantially reduced.”

Secondary prevention refers to the prevention of death or recurrence of disease in those who are already symptomaticSecondary prevention refers to the prevention of death or recurrence of disease in those who are already symptomatic

76. Risk Factor Concepts in Primary Prevention Nonmodifiable risk factors include age, sexc, race, and family history of CVD, which can identify high-risk populationsNonmodifiable risk factors include age, sexc, race, and family history of CVD, which can identify high-risk populations Behavioral risk factors include sedentary lifestyle, unhealthful diet, heavy alcohol or cigarette consumption.Behavioral risk factors include sedentary lifestyle, unhealthful diet, heavy alcohol or cigarette consumption. Physiological risk factors include hypertension, obesity, lipid problems, and diabetes, which may be a consequence of behavioral risk factors.Physiological risk factors include hypertension, obesity, lipid problems, and diabetes, which may be a consequence of behavioral risk factors.

Population vs. High-Risk Approach Risk factors, such as cholesterol or blood pressure, have a wide bell-shaped distribution, often with a “tail” of high values.Risk factors, such as cholesterol or blood pressure, have a wide bell-shaped distribution, often with a “tail” of high values. The “high-risk approach” involves identification and intensive treatment of those at the high end of the “tail”, often at greatest risk of CVD, reducing levels to “normal”.The “high-risk approach” involves identification and intensive treatment of those at the high end of the “tail”, often at greatest risk of CVD, reducing levels to “normal”. But most cases of CVD do not occur among the highest levels of a given risk factor, and in fact, occur among those in the “average” risk group.But most cases of CVD do not occur among the highest levels of a given risk factor, and in fact, occur among those in the “average” risk group.
