Protein Intake and Abdominal Obesity
  • Substituting a modest amount of protein for
    carbohydrate may reduce abdominal obesity
  • Physical Activity is inversely associated with
    abdominal obesity

INTERHEART DIETARY ANALYSIS
  • Methods
  • 6,530 cases and 10,792 controls
  • 19 items food groups questionnaire
  • Dietary Patterns
  • Prudent diet raw and cooked vegetables, legumes
    and fruits
  • Oriental diet tofu, soy sauce and green leafy
    vegetables
  • Western diet dairy, fried foods and meats (high
    in saturated fats)

Clues that suggest South Asians have a Genetic
Propensity to CHD
  • Family history of premature MI suggests increased
    genetic susceptibility
  • Increased propensity to develop type 2 diabetes
  • Lower BMI threshold to develop glucose metabolic
    abnormalities
  • Risk factors apparent in children

Prevention of weight gain
  • If overweight or obese avoid rapid reductions in
    weight with intensive lifestyle change (regain
    occurs in 90)
  • In patients in early 20s advise to prevent or
    minimize weight gain
  • Modest energy intake and regular activity

39
Specific Issues Relevant to Women
  • Abdominal Obesity the rolls are not stylish!
  • Abdominal obesity increases in Post-menopausal
    women
  • Regular Physical Activity is essential to
    maintain weight
  • Mothers watch your children- prevent childhood
    obesity, encourage exercise
  • Mothers watch your cooking increase raw and
    lightly cooked vegetables, avoid ghee, increase
    protein, decrease carbohydrate

40
Benefits of Physical Activity
  • Physical activity has protective effects
  • Lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides
  • Increases HDL (good) cholesterol
  • Reduces body weight
  • Lowers blood pressure
  • Lack of physical activity has the reverse effects

41
Walking
  • Walking is a popular and the most commonly
    reported leisure activity
  • Walking is accepted and easily accessible to
    everyone
  • 30 minutes of activity corresponds to
    approximately 3000-4000 steps/day
  • Goal is 30 minutes/day of walking or 10,000
    steps/day

42
Substantial Gains from Modest levels of Physical
activity
  • Women who increase their physical activity (30
    min x 5 days) after age 65 can lower their risk
    of death by nearly 50 (Womens Health Study)
  • Moderate physical activity can add 1.5 years of
    life (free of heart disease) (Netherlands)

43
Summary
  • South Asians (including women) are among the
    highest risk group for early CHD in the world
  • Prevention must start in childhood
  • Turn off the Genetic Effects by regular
    exercise, lower carbohydrate modest protein diet,
    prevention of abdominal obesity,
  • Liberal use of proven medical therapies

44
PPARg Pro12Ala
  • PPARs
  • adipogenesis, lipid metabolism, glucose
    metabolism
  • nuclear receptors for various ligands
  • fatty acids
  • glitazones (PPARg), fibrates (PPARa)
  • Pro12Ala SNP
  • 25 frequency1
  • T2D (relative risk, RR 0.79)1
  • Pro12Pro (wild type)
  • 85 frequency1
  • T2D (relative risk, RR 1.25)1
  • May influence 25 of the risk of T2D
  • 1. Altshuler et al. The common PPAR. Pro12Ala
    polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of
    type 2 diabetes. Nature Genetics 2000. 26 76-80.
