BackgroundDietary patterns currently recommended for cardiovascular health often emphasize the consumption of plant foods.MethodsWe included 7,708 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2004 aged ≥20 years who were not pregnant and did not have a self-reported history of cardiovascular disease. Dietary intake was assessed using a 24-hour dietary recall. All plant-based dietary… Continue reading Association of #plant -based diets with subclinical #cardiovascular disease in U.S. adults, 1999-2004

Contribution of Modifiable Midlife and Late-Life #Vascular Risk Factors to Incident #Dementia
Importance Midlife vascular risk factors are associated with an elevated risk of dementia. However, the total contribution of vascular risk factors in midlife and late life with incident dementia is uncertain.Objective To quantify the proportion of incident dementia attributable to modifiable vascular risk factors measured in midlife and late life and to examine differences by… Continue reading Contribution of Modifiable Midlife and Late-Life #Vascular Risk Factors to Incident #Dementia
#Sedentary Behavior and #Cardiac Events and Mortality After Hospitalization for Acute #Coronary Syndrome Symptoms: A Prospective Study
Patients hospitalized with symptoms of acute coronary syndrome remain at high risk for adverse events postdischarge, highlighting a need for modifiable therapeutic targets. The role of sedentary behavior in this risk and the potential benefits of replacing sedentary time with other activities remain unclear. This study examined the association between sedentary behavior and 1-year cardiac… Continue reading #Sedentary Behavior and #Cardiac Events and Mortality After Hospitalization for Acute #Coronary Syndrome Symptoms: A Prospective Study
The overlooked trio: #sleep duration, sampling time and #physical exercise alter levels of olink-assessed blood biomarkers of cardiovascular risk
Biomarker profiling from biofluids such as blood are widely measured in clinical research, using for example Olink proteomics panels. One such research focus area is cardiovascular disease (CVD), for which chronic sleep restriction (SR) is a risk factor. However, it remains unclear whether blood levels of commonly measured CVD biomarkers are sensitive to acute dynamic… Continue reading The overlooked trio: #sleep duration, sampling time and #physical exercise alter levels of olink-assessed blood biomarkers of cardiovascular risk
#Colchicine in acute #coronary syndromes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
Background Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a global leading cause of morbidity, with residual inflammation contributing to recurrent events. Colchicine has been proposed as an adjunct therapy, but its efficacy remains uncertain.Methods We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) data comparing colchicine versus… Continue reading #Colchicine in acute #coronary syndromes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
Rest #Activity Rhythms and their Association with #Cardiorespiratory Fitness and #Walking Energetics in #Older Adults: Study of Muscle, #Mobility and #Aging
Purpose It is recognized that disruptions in circadian behavior, such as with shift work or jet lag, are associated with diminished health. This known relationship implies that people with stronger indices of circadian behavior will exhibit improved physiology. To address the association between rhythmic activity behavior and physiology we proposed that metrics indicative of ‘more… Continue reading Rest #Activity Rhythms and their Association with #Cardiorespiratory Fitness and #Walking Energetics in #Older Adults: Study of Muscle, #Mobility and #Aging
Long-term trials of #colchicine for secondary prevention of #vascular events: a meta-analysis
Background and AimsColchicine has emerged as a safe and inexpensive anti-inflammatory medication to target the residual risk of cardiovascular events in the secondary prevention of coronary artery disease. Two recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating colchicine in the post-stroke and post-myocardial infarction (MI) populations warrant a re-evaluation of colchicine. New evidence was synthesized in… Continue reading Long-term trials of #colchicine for secondary prevention of #vascular events: a meta-analysis
Dose Response of Incidental Physical #Activity Against #Cardiovascular Events and Mortality
Few middle-aged and older adults engage in regular leisure-time exercise. Incidental physical activity (IPA) encompasses activities of daily living outside the leisure-time domain. No dose-response study is available to guide IPA-focused interventions and guidelines. We examined the associations of device-assessed IPA intensities (vigorous [VIPA], moderate [MIPA], light [LIPA]) with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and… Continue reading Dose Response of Incidental Physical #Activity Against #Cardiovascular Events and Mortality
60 is the new 40: preparing for better bone #health in later life
Objective: In this study we evaluated associations between nutritional factors, including calcium supplementation, and outcomes of fracture and cardiovascular mortality. We chose to report both outcomes as an illustration of the importance of nutritional factors in midlife to heart disease as this may be more impactful for supporting behavior change strategies, particularly in men.Methods: This… Continue reading 60 is the new 40: preparing for better bone #health in later life
