Association between Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Diseases and the Blood Concentration of Carotenoids among the General Population without Apparent Illness.

摘要: Several studies have demonstrated that carotenoid-rich vegetables are useful against cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, it is still unclear when a healthy population should start eating these to prevent CVDs. In this study, we evaluated the role of carotenoids in CVD markers subjects using age-stratified analysis. We selected 1350 with no history apparent illness who were undergoing health examinations. then relationship between serum concentrations six major as well their total, and nine (i.e., body mass index (BMI), pulse wave velocity (PWV), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic (DBP), Homeostatic Model Assessment Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), insulin, fasting glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TGs), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol) multiple regression It was found total carotenoid level significantly associated seven other than BMI FBG males eight DBP females. Many relationships independent lifestyle habits. significant young (aged 20–39) middle-aged females 40–59). These findings can be used guidance for disease prevention although causal confirmed.
