A high protein diet for obese menopausal women may help in weight loss, but it could also lower bone density, says a new research. Wayne W. Campbell and doctoral student Minghua Tang found in their study that all of the women who ate the energy-reduced diets successfully lost weight, but the groups that consumed the higher-protein meat-containing diets also lost bone mineral density. "However, we also found that these older women lost bone mineral density faster than women who consumed normal protein diets that did not contain any meats. This finding is of concern for this age group that is susceptible to osteoporosis," said Campbell. “Our findings highlight that amount and sources of protein are important to consider when choosing a weight-loss diet. “Each individual needs to evaluate, or consult with a dietician about how to achieve and sustain a healthy body weight and body composition, including muscle and bone," he added. The findings are published online in the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences and will be printed in September.
Canadian researchers have found that women who have the most serious form of angina are three times as likely to develop severe coronary artery disease (CAD) as men with the same condition. The researchers looked at the records of 23,771 patients referred for first diagnostic angiography over a six-year period. They found that women over the age of 60 with CCS Class IV angina (as defined by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society) faced a 21 per cent higher absolute risk of developing CAD than men. The trend was robust, even in younger women under 60, who faced an 11 per cent higher absolute risk than men in the same age group. However, when the data was adjusted for other variables commonly associated with CAD – diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking and age - Class IV angina increased the risk by 82 per cent in women and 28 per cent in men. That means that women with severe angina face a three times greater risk of developing severe CAD than men. "CAD is the leading cause of ill health and death in men and women in the western world, accounting for over a third of deaths" says lead author Catherine Kreatsoulas from the Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at McMaster University, Canada. "In fact, more women die from CAD than breast disease every year. Despite this, there is still a persistent perception that CAD is a man’s disease. However, our research found that women with CCS Class IV angina, which means they are unable to perform any activity without symptoms and even suffer angina at rest, are significantly more likely to develop severe CAD than men with the same condition," Kreatsoulas added. The study appears in the July issue of the Journal of Internal Medicine.
