| Assessment of the longer-term effects of a dietary portfolio of cholesterol-lowering foods in hypercholesterolemia. We found statistically significant increases in the proportion of men who self-reported diabetes (from 21% in 2001 to 30% in 2004), depression/anxiety (from 26% to 35%), and hypertension (from 44% to 51%), and non-significant increases in hypercholesterolemia (from 43% to 48%) and cardiovascular disease/angina (from 26% to 29%) over the 30-month follow-up. Part II, "Stroke Triggers and Risks," thoroughly describes known and possible risk factors for stroke such as atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, use of oral contraceptives, postmenopausal hormone therapy, obesity, physical inactivity and sleep disorders. |
