University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
Diabetes 58:813-9. 2009..The purpose of this study was to determine whether MetS is associated with increased risks for the development of new ("incident") AVC or for progression of established AVC as assessed by CT...

Age-modification of lipoprotein, lipid, and lipoprotein ratio-associated risk for coronary artery calcium (from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis [MESA])Pathmaja Paramsothy
Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
Am J Cardiol 105:352-8. 2010..However, these associations were markedly attenuated by age. In conclusion, abnormal lipoprotein levels in middle age are a powerful risk factor for early atherosclerosis, as manifested by prevalent CAC...

Incidence and progression of aortic valve calcium in the Multi-ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)David S Owens
University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
Am J Cardiol 105:701-8. 2010..AVC progression risk was associated with male gender and the baseline Agatston score. Additional research is needed to determine whether age- and stage-specific mechanisms underlie the risk of AVC progression...
Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and change in estimated glomerular filtration rateIan H De Boer
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA Tele
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 6:2141-9. 2011..Mounting evidence suggests that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D prevents the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is not clear whether "nutritional" forms of vitamin D affect GFR...

University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
Am J Cardiol 107:47-51. 2011..In conclusion, stage I/II hypertension and higher systolic BP and pulse pressure were associated with prevalent AVC. These risk associations were strongest in participants < 65 years of age...

University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA
Circulation 113:2113-9. 2006..CONCLUSIONS: In the MESA cohort, the metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus are associated with increased risk of AVC, and AVC prevalence is increased with increasing number of metabolic syndrome components...

Department Medicine, Division of Cardiology, University of Washington, Seattle, USA
Am J Cardiol 109:658-64. 2012..In conclusion, abnormal lipoproteins and lipoprotein ratios in middle-aged and older patients are powerful risk factors for early atherosclerosis as manifested by an increased CIMT...
