The metabolic syndrome, cardiopulmonary fitness, and subcutaneous trunk fat as independent determinants of arterial stiffness: the Amsterdam Growth and Health Longitudinal StudyIsabel Ferreira
Institute for Research in Extramural Medicine, VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Arch Intern Med 165:875-82. 2005..We therefore examined whether the metabolic syndrome was associated with arterial stiffness and whether any such associations were independent of cardiopulmonary fitness and subcutaneous trunk fat...- Regional body composition as a determinant of arterial stiffness in the elderly: The Hoorn StudyMarieke B Snijder
Institute for Research in Extramural Medicine, VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Hypertens 22:2339-47. 2004..To estimate the relation of precisely measured regional body composition with peripheral and central arterial stiffness in the elderly... - Central fat mass versus peripheral fat and lean mass: opposite (adverse versus favorable) associations with arterial stiffness? The Amsterdam Growth and Health Longitudinal StudyIsabel Ferreira
Institute for Research in Extramural Medicine, VU University Medical Center, 1081 HV Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Clin Endocrinol Metab 89:2632-9. 2004..We conclude that trunk fat is adversely associated with large artery stiffness, whereas some degree of protection is conferred by peripheral fat and lean mass... - Development of fatness, fitness, and lifestyle from adolescence to the age of 36 years: determinants of the metabolic syndrome in young adults: the amsterdam growth and health longitudinal studyIsabel Ferreira
Institute for Research in Extramural Medicine, VU University Medical Center, 1081 HV Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Arch Intern Med 165:42-8. 2005..Our study further suggests that intervening early in life (eg, in the period of transition from adolescence to adulthood) may be a fruitful area for prevention of the metabolic syndrome... - Birthweight and arterial stiffness and blood pressure in adulthood--results from the Amsterdam Growth and Health Longitudinal StudySaskia J te Velde
Institute for Research in Extramural Medicine (EMGO-Institute, VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Int J Epidemiol 33:154-61. 2004..However, the latter relationship can only partly explain the association between birthweight and blood pressure. Therefore, mechanisms other than arterial stiffness contribute to the birthweight-blood pressure relationship... - Current and adolescent body fatness and fat distribution: relationships with carotid intima-media thickness and large artery stiffness at the age of 36 yearsIsabel Ferreira
Institute for Research in Extramural Medicine, Vrije Universiteit University Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Hypertens 22:145-55. 2004..CONCLUSIONS: Body fatness and body fat distribution are associated with large artery structural and functional properties at age 36 and the roots of these associations may already be present in adolescence... - Longitudinal changes in .VO2max: associations with carotid IMT and arterial stiffnessIsabel Ferreira
Institute for Research in Extramural Medicine, VU University Medical Center, Van der Boechorststraat 7, 1081 BT Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Med Sci Sports Exerc 35:1670-8. 2003..Improving .VO2max by increasing physical activity levels may therefore contribute to a reduction in mortality from cardiovascular disease through decreasing arterial stiffness...

Am J Clin Nutr 94:40-8. 2011..In contrast, peripheral fat and lean masses may counteract such adverse effects, but evidence of this contention, as derived from longitudinal studies at the general population level, is lacking...- Perceived parenting style and practices and the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages by adolescentsKlazine van der Horst
Department of Public Health, Erasmus University Medical Center, PO Box 1738, NL 3000 DR Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Health Educ Res 22:295-304. 2007..Interventions aimed at the promotion of healthy parenting practices will improve when they are tailored to the general parenting style of the participants... - Type 2 diabetes is associated with impaired endothelium-dependent, flow-mediated dilation, but impaired glucose metabolism is not; The Hoorn StudyRonald M A Henry

Department of Internal Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine, Subdivision of Vascular Medicine, University Medical Centre Maastricht, The Netherlands
Int J Cardiol 153:64-7. 2011..This suggests that subjects with a genetic predisposition to CVD are more likely to have recurrent cardiovascular events... - The benefits of exercise for arterial stiffnessIsabel Ferreira
