Abstract
Introduction: Central obesity is specifically associated
with cardiovascular disease.
Nevertheless, the molecular
events that promote these conditions remain incompletely defined and risk stratifying patients for cardiovascular
disease continues a challenge.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess some
cost-efficient haemostatic markers, and its association
with central obesity and traditional cardiovascular risk
factors, in a cohort of middle aged subjects, without clinical cardiovascular disease, as basis for an improved
prevention and intervention.
Methods: We studied 307 men, aged 45±7 years, which
underwent medical history, physical examination, anthropometric measurements, plasmatic biochemical
parameters, plasma concentrations of fibrinogen, prothrombin activity, activated partial thromboplastin ti...
