BACKGROUND: Serum @entity414 has been reported to be a risk factor for @entity65 ( @entity65 ). The objective of the present work was to determine the prevalence of @entity5052 in a large size sample of a healthy male population, as well as the association between @entity414 and other cardiovascular risk factors. @entity1 AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a randomly selected sample of 1,564 healthy @entity1 in Valencia (Spain), aged 20-67 years, working in the automobile industry. Serum values of @entity414 , @entity165 , and @entity413 were obtained, as well as blood pressure and body mass index measurements. An assessment was made of socio-economic data, drug therapy, and smoking. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of @entity5052 was 5.10%; it increased with age. A marked increase (p < 0.01) of @entity9503 individuals was observed with increased prevalence of other cardiovascular risk factors (from 1.8% with @entity5052 alone up to 28% among individuals with four simultaneous risk factors). By means of a multivariate logistic regression analysis, the OR of @entity5052 associated with each factor were calculated: increased serum @entity413 was the variable with a stronger association (OR: 2.69; 95%CI: 1.21-5.99), @entity28 ranking next (OR: 2.50; 95%CI: 1.42-4.49). Statistically significant associations were also observed for increased serum @entity165 , increased blood pressure, and smoking. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of @entity5052 varies with the simultaneous presence of other classical cardiovascular risk factors. Even in this healthy mediterranean population, @entity414 is significantly associated with several components in the @entity751 .
