Intermittent diplopia: a practical guide

Wilco Perini, Veron Verhorst, A van den Berg, Sunjay Parmar et autres

Intermittent binocular diplopia is challenging to assess, as symptoms may be absent during examination yet its possible causes range from benign decompensation to serious disease. We outline a practical method to evaluate intermittent diplopia, focusing on four key steps: (1) confirming binocular …

Gender-related characteristics and disparities in estimated cardiovascular disease risk in a multi-ethnic general population: The HELIUS study

Renee Bolijn, Wilco Perini, Hanno L. Tan, Henrike Galenkamp et autres

BACKGROUND: Differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk between men and women have been widely reported. However, risk differences by gender-related characteristics (sociocultural characteristics) have been poorly studied, although these characteristics may associate with cardiovascular health. We explored associations of three gender-related characteristics …

The contribution of obesity to the population burden of high metabolic cardiovascular risk among different ethnic groups. The HELIUS study

Wilco Perini, Irene G. M. van Valkengoed, Marieke B. Snijder, Ron J.G. Peters et autres

BACKGROUND: The burden of cardiovascular risk is distributed unequally between ethnic groups. It is uncertain to what extent this is attributable to ethnic differences in general and abdominal obesity. Therefore, we studied the contribution of general and abdominal obesity to metabolic cardiovascular …

Eligibility for cardiovascular risk screening among different ethnic groups: The HELIUS study

Wilco Perini, Marieke B. Snijder, Charles Agyemang, Ron J.G. Peters et autres

BACKGROUND: Ethnic differences in the age-of-onset of cardiovascular risk factors may necessitate ethnic-specific age thresholds to initiate cardiovascular risk screening. Recent European recommendations to modify cardiovascular risk estimates among certain ethnic groups may further increase this necessity. AIMS: To determine ethnic differences …

Estimation of cardiovascular risk based on total cholesterol versus total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein within different ethnic groups: The HELIUS study

Wilco Perini, Marieke B. Snijder, Ron J.G. Peters, Anton E. Kunst et autres

AIMS: European guidelines recommend estimating cardiovascular disease risk using the Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) algorithm. Two versions of SCORE are available: one based on the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, and one based on total cholesterol alone. Cardiovascular risk classification between …

Cardiovascular risk and eligibility for preventive treatment : The role of ethnicity

Wilco Perini

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading global causes of morbidity and mortality. Strategies to prevent CVD have contributed strongly to the declining rates of CVD in Western societies. However, it is unknown whether these strategies are effective among ethnic minority …

Ethnic disparities in treatment rates for hypertension and dyslipidemia

Wilco Perini, Charles Agyemang, Marieke B. Snijder, Ron J.G. Peters et autres

BACKGROUND: Studies have reported ethnic disparities in treatment rates for cardiovascular risk factors. These studies are generally based on treatment indications defined by individual cardiovascular risk factors (ICRF). However, according to most European guidelines, preventive treatment for these risk factors is recommended …

Increased cardiovascular disease risk in international migrants is independent of residence duration or cultural orientation: the HELIUS study

Wilco Perini, Marieke B. Snijder, Ron J.G. Peters, Karien Stronks et autres

BACKGROUND: International migrants differ from host populations in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. It has been postulated that these disparities narrow with longer residence duration. Our aim was to determine whether CVD risk still differs between migrants and host population after decades of …

Ethnic disparities in estimated cardiovascular disease risk in Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Wilco Perini, Marieke B. Snijder, Ron J.G. Peters, Anton E. Kunst

BACKGROUND: Ethnic differences have been reported in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. It is still unclear which ethnic groups are most at risk for CVD when all traditional CVD risk factors are considered together as overall risk. OBJECTIVES: To examine ethnic differences …

Ethnic disparities in educational and occupational gradients of estimated cardiovascular disease risk: The Healthy Life in an Urban Setting study

Wilco Perini, Charles Agyemang, Marieke B. Snijder, Ron J.G. Peters et autres

BACKGROUND: European societies are becoming increasingly ethnically diverse. This may have important implications for socio-economic inequalities in health due to the often disadvantaged position of ethnic minority groups in both socio-economic status (SES) and disease, especially cardiovascular disease (CVD). OBJECTIVE: The aim …
