Being overweight or obese is associated with an increased risk for the development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Dyslipidemia of obesity is characterized by elevated fasting triglycerides and decreased high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol concentrations. Endothelial damage and dysfunction is considered to be a major underlying mechanism for the elevated cardiovascular risk associated with increased adiposity.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ronald E Hunninghake"

  • - Ronald E Hunninghake's research primarily examines the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular health, emphasizing how excess weight can lead to serious metabolic disorders such as diabetes and hypertension by affecting lipid profiles and endothelial function.
  • - His article titled "Effect of weight reduction on cardiovascular risk factors and CD34-positive cells in circulation" explores how losing weight can positively influence cardiovascular risk factors and potentially improve the number of CD34-positive cells, which are linked to vascular health.
  • - Hunninghake's work highlights the critical need for weight management as a preventive strategy against cardiovascular disease, demonstrating significant physiological changes resulting from weight reduction that could mitigate associated health risks.
