Risks

ApoB and Cardiovascular Risk

Key Risk Factors:

  • Increased Plaque Buildup: High ApoB levels contribute to atherosclerosis (artery narrowing).
  • Higher Risk of Heart Attack & Stroke: ApoB is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular events than LDL cholesterol.
  • Metabolic Syndrome Connection: Elevated ApoB is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation.

HbA1c and Blood Sugar Control

Key Risk Factors:

  • Diabetes Development: High HbA1c levels indicate poor blood sugar control and increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
  • Cardiovascular Disease: Excess glucose damages blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
  • Nerve & Organ Damage: Chronically high blood sugar can lead to nerve damage, kidney disease, and vision problems.
  • Cognitive & Energy Issues: Fluctuating glucose levels contribute to fatigue, brain fog, and mood swings.

VO₂max and Cardiovascular Capacity (CVC)

Key Risk Factors of Poor VO₂max and CVC:

  • Higher Mortality Risk: Poor cardiorespiratory fitness is linked to a 30–50% increased risk of early death.
  • Cardiovascular Problems: Low VO₂max and poor CVC correlate with heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.
  • Poor Metabolic Health: Increased risk of obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.
  • Reduced Physical and Mental Performance: Leads to chronic fatigue, reduced endurance, cognitive decline, and a higher risk of depression.
  • Increased Risk of Chronic Diseases: Poor CVC is linked to a greater likelihood of obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
