Fibrinogen, homocyst(e)ine, and C-reactive protein concentrations relative to sex and socioeconomic status in British young people

Article Abstract:

A study assessing the prevalence of the identified coronary heart disease risk factors in children and adolescents of differing socioeconomic status is carried out. Results conclude that elevated fibrogen, homocyst(e)ine, and C-reactive protein are present in this cohort of British children and although some social variation in the identified CHD risk factors in young people exists, the evidence is weak but differences might become more apparent in later life as environmental factors become more influential.

School fitness tests as predictors of adult health-related fitness

Article Abstract:

The role of physical fitness characteristics as a predictor of cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal pain symptoms are investigated. The correlations between fitness tests and adult health-related physical fitness were moderate and the sit-and-reach test results among boys and sit-ups and arm hang test in girls showed higher stability.

Somatotype and angiographically determined atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in men

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that muscularity and adiposity are significant factors in higher risk of coronary artery disease in men averaging about 60 years of age. Findings include data on endormorphy, mesomorphy and ectomorphy.
