Obesity is a risk factor for clinical cardiovascular disease, putatively via increased burden of atherosclerosis. It remains contentious as to whether weight loss in people with obesity is accompanied by a reduction in intima-media thickness, a noninvasive marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, consistent with a lowering of risk of cardiovascular events.
A systematic literature search was performed to identify all surgical and nonsurgical weight loss interventions that reported intima-media thickness. A meta-analysis was undertaken to obtain pooled estimates for change in intima-media thickness.
From the 3,197 articles screened, 9 studies were included in the meta-analysis, with a total of 393 participants who lost an average of 16 kg (95% CI 9.4-22.5) of body weight over an average follow-up of 20 months. The pooled mean change in carotid intima-media thickness was -0.03 mm (95% CI -0.05 to -0.01), which was similar between surgical and nonsurgical interventions.
In people with obesity, weight loss was associated with a reduction in carotid intima-media thickness, consistent with a lowering in risk of cardiovascular events.
肥胖是临床心血管疾病的一个风险因素,可能是通过增加动脉粥样硬化的负担。目前仍存在争议的是,肥胖人群的体重减轻是否伴随着内膜-中层厚度的减少,而内膜-中层厚度是亚临床动脉粥样硬化的一种非侵入性标志物,与心血管事件风险的降低一致。
系统地检索了所有报告内膜-中层厚度的手术和非手术减肥干预措施的文献。进行了荟萃分析,以获得内膜-中层厚度变化的汇总估计值。
从筛选出的 3197 篇文章中,有 9 项研究被纳入荟萃分析,共有 393 名参与者平均减轻了 16 公斤(95%置信区间 9.4-22.5)的体重,平均随访 20 个月。颈动脉内膜-中层厚度的平均变化为-0.03 毫米(95%置信区间-0.05 至-0.01),手术和非手术干预之间的差异无统计学意义。
在肥胖人群中,体重减轻与颈动脉内膜-中层厚度的减少有关,这与心血管事件风险的降低一致。
