The patient was initially thought to have familial hypercholesterolemia due to his elevated total cholesterol, by his family physician. He was prescribed evolucumab, a proprotein convertase subtilisin/ kexin type 9 inhibitor drug which has shown efficacy for lowering low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels, to reduce his high total cholesterol. However, in this patient, the elevated total cholesterol was likely due to hypertriglyceridemia, rather than increased low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels. Through this case we provide an approach for the clinical management of patients with elevated total cholesterol with underlying triglycerides ≥ 10 mmol/L. The primary intervention for management of triglycerides ≥ 10 mmol/L involves lifestyle modifications including, changes in diet, exercise, reduction in body mass index, and abstinence from alcohol consumption. Secondary intervention involves management through pharmacotherapy with fibrates and statins. Creating a plan of action with the patient, incorporating lifestyle modifications alone, the patient was able to reduce the triglycerides from an average of 44.94 mmol/L to 3.28 mmol/L.","PeriodicalId":73805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lifestyle medicine","volume":"11 1","pages":"43-46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/a7/d7/jlm-11-1-43.PMC7957042.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25514356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a recent review by Rhodes et al. concluded there is no reliable sex difference in participation. The purpose of the current paper was to review population-level surveys of participation in muscle-strengthening activities to clarify if a sex difference in participation exists.Methods: Keyword searches (e.g., \"resistance training participation\") were performed in PubMed and Google Scholar to identify papers that surveyed a general adult population (N > 1,000) and reported an outcome of the proportion of the population meeting recommendations for \"muscle-strengthening activities\" (i.e., ≥ 2 times/wk) or participating in resistance training.Results: Sixteen studies from 6 countries met the inclusion criteria. Irrespective of the measure of participation, population-levels of participation were typically higher in men than women. More men than women met recommendations for muscle-strengthening activities in England (men 34%; women 24%), Finland (men 18.1%; women 16.4%), Northern Ireland (men 25%; women 14%), Scotland (men 30%; women 25%), and the United States (men 34.8%; women 25.8%). For Australia, some studies showed no sex difference in participation, whereas other studies showed greater participation among men.Conclusion: A sex difference exists in participation in muscle-strengthening activities. Low participation rates in both sexes indicate efforts to encourage participation in men and women are warranted.

Depression in old age is stereotypically tethered to the ageing process but it is a medical problem that has been under-researched. This study was conducted to estimate the point prevalence of depression among the elderly in Dehradun district of Uttarakhand and to identify its predictor variables. Methods It was a cross-sectional study conducted in Dehradun district of Uttarakhand (India) among 660 elderlies (≥60 years) from three strata (rural, urban and special groups). The Hindi version of long form of Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-H) was used to identify mild and severe depression. All statistical analyses were carried out by SPSS software (version 22) at 5% level of significance. Results The arithmetic mean (±SD) of GDS scores was 10.62 (±6.1). 55% elderly were found to be suffering from depression (46.8% mild and 8.2% severe depression). Bivariate analysis showed significant association of depression with increasing age, female gender, place of residence, type of family, living without spouse, financial dependency, involvement in any kind of substance abuse and suffering from some chronic morbidities like osteoarthritis, chronic respiratory illness, skin diseases, visual impairment or hearing impairment. These predictor variables were further subjected to multivariate analysis. Conclusion The high prevalence of depression in old age and its multifactorial association tags it as a public health problem in this age group which should be recognized and managed before it becomes a health menace.","PeriodicalId":73805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lifestyle medicine","volume":"10 2","pages":"102-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/3d/d9/JLM-10-102.PMC7502891.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38536876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
