BackgroundThe effect of milk on the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and acute myocardial infarction (MI) is unclear. We aimed to examine the association between non-fermented and fermented milk consumption on these endpoints and investigate the relationship between milk intake and cardiometabolic-related proteins in plasma.MethodsOur study is based on two Swedish prospective cohort studies… Continue reading Non-fermented and fermented #milk intake in relation to risk of ischemic #heart disease and to circulating cardiometabolic proteins in swedish #women and men: Two prospective longitudinal cohort studies with 100,775 participants

Device-measured #stationary behaviour and #cardiovascular and orthostatic circulatory disease incidence
BackgroundPrevious studies have indicated that standing may be beneficially associated with surrogate metabolic markers, whereas more time spent sitting has an adverse association. Studies assessing the dose-response associations of standing, sitting and composite stationary behaviour time with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and orthostatic circulatory disease are scarce and show an unclear picture.ObjectiveTo examine associations of daily… Continue reading Device-measured #stationary behaviour and #cardiovascular and orthostatic circulatory disease incidence
#Cardiac Contributions to #Brain Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
The burden of neurologic diseases, including stroke and dementia, is expected to grow substantially in the coming decades. Thus, achieving optimal brain health has been identified as a public health priority and a major challenge. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States and around the world. Emerging evidence… Continue reading #Cardiac Contributions to #Brain Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Modifiers of the Effects of Vitamin #D Supplementation on #Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The inconsistent findings concerning the effects of vitamin D supplementation on cardiometabolic risk factors and the large heterogeneity in the published literature call for further research to identify sources of heterogeneity and potential effect modifiers. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published until March 2024 that reported estimates for the effects of… Continue reading Modifiers of the Effects of Vitamin #D Supplementation on #Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Body #Roundness Index Trajectories and the Incidence of #Cardiovascular Disease: Evidence From the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
Several previous cross‐sectional studies suggested that body roundness index (BRI) may be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the association should be further validated. Our study aimed to assess the association of the BRI trajectories with CVD among middle‐aged and older Chinese people in a longitudinal cohort.Methods and ResultsA total of 9935 participants from the… Continue reading Body #Roundness Index Trajectories and the Incidence of #Cardiovascular Disease: Evidence From the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
#Inflammation, #Cholesterol, #Lipoprotein(a), and 30-Year #Cardiovascular Outcomes in Women
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a) levels contribute to 5-year and 10-year predictions of cardiovascular risk and represent distinct pathways for pharmacologic intervention. More information about the usefulness of these biomarkers for predicting cardiovascular risk over longer periods of time in women is needed because early-life intervention represents an important risk-reduction… Continue reading #Inflammation, #Cholesterol, #Lipoprotein(a), and 30-Year #Cardiovascular Outcomes in Women
#Sitting Time and Its Interaction With #Physical Activity in Relation to All-Cause and #Heart Disease Mortality in U.S. Adults With Diabetes
To evaluate whether associations between sitting time and all-cause and heart disease mortality are modified by physical activity in adults with diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSData came from 6,335 U.S. adults with diabetes from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2018 (baseline), with mortality follow-up through 2019. Sitting time and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA)… Continue reading #Sitting Time and Its Interaction With #Physical Activity in Relation to All-Cause and #Heart Disease Mortality in U.S. Adults With Diabetes
Changes in prevalence and incidence of #dementia and risk factors for dementia: an analysis from cohort studies
BackgroundSome cohort studies have reported a decline in dementia prevalence and incidence over time, although these findings have not been consistent across studies. We reviewed evidence on changes in dementia prevalence and incidence over time using published population-based cohort studies that had used consistent methods with each wave and aimed to quantify associated changes in… Continue reading Changes in prevalence and incidence of #dementia and risk factors for dementia: an analysis from cohort studies
#Olfactory Impairment and the Risk of Major Adverse #Cardiovascular Outcomes in Older Adults
BackgroundOlfactory impairment is common in older adults and may be associated with adverse cardiovascular health; however, empirical evidence is sparse. We examined olfaction in relation to the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and congestive heart failure (CHF).Methods and ResultsThis study included 2537 older adults (aged 75.6±2.8 years) from the Health ABC (Health, Aging, and… Continue reading #Olfactory Impairment and the Risk of Major Adverse #Cardiovascular Outcomes in Older Adults
