Age-dependent effect of metabolic phenotypes on carotid atherosclerotic disease in coronary heart disease patients (CORDIOPREV study). BMC Geriatr. 2020 Apr 22;20(1):151.http://hdl.handle.net/10668/15414Aging is associated with a high risk for cardiovascular disease. The relation of obesity and risk of cardiovascular events appears to be more closely linked to certain clinical or metabolic phenotypes than to obesity itself. Our aim was to establish whether aging influenced the metabolic phenotypes regarding to cardiovascular risk, evaluated by changes in the intima media thickness-common carotid (IMT-CC), in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients. In this cross-sectional study, 1002 CHD patients were studied at entry from the CORDIOPREV study. We performed carotid ultrasound assessment to obtain their IMT-CC values. Carotid atherosclerosis was considered to exist if IMT-CC > 0.7 mm. Age determined a higher IMT-CC, regardless metabolic phenotype (all p  Our results suggest that CHD patients aged≥60 are less metabolic flexible compared to patients agedenAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Cardiovascular risk factorsCarotid atherosclerosisMetabolic flexibilityMetabolically healthy obeseAdultAge FactorsAgedCarotid ArteriesCarotid Artery DiseasesCarotid Intima-Media ThicknessCoronary DiseaseCross-Sectional StudiesFemaleHumansMaleMiddle AgedObesity, AbdominalPhenotypePlaque, AtheroscleroticPrevalenceRisk FactorsSpainTunica IntimaTunica MediaUltrasonographyresearch article32321443open accessAdultoAncianoArterias carótidasEnfermedad coronariaEnfermedades de las arterias carótidasEspañaEstudios transversalesFactores de edadFactores de riesgoFenotipoGrosor intima-media carotídeoObesidad abdominalPlaca aterosclerótica10.1186/s12877-020-01544-51471-2318PMC7178935https://doi.org/10.1186/s12877-020-01544-5https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7178935/pdf
