The investigators have adopted the term "obesity-related secondary complications" to describe accumulation of body fat clustering with other secondary CVD risks, while recognizing that a threshold criterion for diagnosis of obesity in persons with SCI remains ill-defined. For purposes of this proposal, the "-related" part of the term confers physical deconditioning, hypertension, fasting dyslipidemia, post-prandial lipemia (PPL), and impaired insulin sensitivity, all of which have been reported in persons with SCI. Contextualized, any of these risks occurring independently or in clusters would be cause for immediate therapeutic lifestyle intervention (TLI), if not frank medical treatment. Given our early understanding of effective treatments for these risks, any improvement in their severity would be CVD risk-reducing and thus life-benefiting and function-preserving.
