Adherence (equivalent to compliance) to lifestyle and medication recommendations for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a crucial element in the path from the science of risk-factor modification to the actual reduction of risk factors and consequent prevention of disease-related events. This Task Force Report presents an overview of the evidence supporting multilevel strategies for improving the adherence to lifestyle and pharmacologic interventions. Building on available adherence data and consistent with the theme of this Bethesda Conference, suggestions for advancing CVD prevention on both an individual and population level are also offered.

Behavioral changes are the first line of treatment for dyslipidemia in adolescents, but outcome data on the effectiveness of this approach are inconsistent. This study aims to assess the effect of a 13-week multicomponent wellness intervention program, which included weekly nutrition classes and structured cardiovascular, flexibility, and strength training on dyslipidemia in nine overweight/obese [body mass index (BMI) > or = 85th percentile] and nine lean (BMIpercentile) adolescents. Clinical measurements and lipid profile assessment were performed before and after the intervention. At the completion of the study, the overweight/obese adolescents demonstrated a 15% increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (mean, …

The article discusses the implications of two health research trends for improving the design, review and reporting of research and evaluation studies in the U.S. The first trend is the gap between research findings and application in practice. The other trend is the increased emphasis on the methodological quality of health research reports.

BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) is diagnosed frequently in some but not all overweight adolescents. Chronic inflammation, as seen in obesity, is strongly associated with MetSyn. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this pilot study was to assess the correlation between activation of the innate immune system and MetSyn, independent of body mass index (BMI), in a young population. METHODS: We quantitatively measured both systemic pro-inflammatory cytokines and gene expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and downstream cytokines in circulating monocytes obtained from nine adolescents with metabolic syndrome (Overwt-MetSyn) and eight BMI-matched controls (Overwt-Healthy). RESULTS: The Overwt-MetSyn group demonstrated a significant elevation in expression …
