Effects of childhood obesity on heart failure and its associated risk factors in the European population: a Mendelian randomization study
Observational studies have shown that obesity considerably affects the cardiovascular system. Thus we conducted this Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the causal effect of childhood obesity on heart failure (HF) and its risk factors.

Association between the dietary inflammatory index and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide.Inflammation is pivotal in atherosclerosis development. The dietary inflammatory index (DII) is a tool to quantify the overall inflammatory potential of diet. The association between DII and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in ASCVD patients remains undetermined. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Association between birth weight and insulin resistance in US adolescents: A retrospective cohort study exploring the role of concurrent body mass index
This study aimed to investigate the association between birth weight (BW) and abnormal HOMA-IR in US adolescents aged 12-15 years. The role of concurrent body mass index (BMI) in adolescence was also examined. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

The Association between Glycemic Index, Glycemic Load and Total Carbohydrate Intake and Risk of Premature Coronary Artery Disease: Iran Premature Coronary Artery
The association between glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL) and total carbohydrate intake and risk of cardiovascular diseases has been controversial. Premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) is characterized with an age of onset lower than 55 and 65 respectively in men and women. The aim of current study is to investigate the relationship between GI, GL and carbohydrate levels and risk of PCAD in Iran. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Letter to the editor about “Effect of CVAI on the incidence of MASLD compared to BMI in populations with different body types: A prospective cohort study in China”
We read with great interest the article by Zhao et  al. [1] showing that CVAI was positively associated with MASLD risk independent of body types defined by BMI, with promising diagnostic ability for MASLD, especially in females. However, there are several caveats worth considering when interpreting the results. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Liver fibrosis, NT-ProBNP and mortality in patients with MASLD: A  population-based cohort study
Liver fibrosis is the strongest predictor of liver-related mortality in many chronic liver diseases. NT-ProBNP is independently associated with cardiovascular mortality in general population settings. Here, we evaluate the relative contribution of non-invasively identified liver fibrosis and NT-ProBNP on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with metabolic (dysfunction)-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Association between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm: findings from the UK Biobank cohort
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the second most common aortic pathological manifestation. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has a wide impact on the cardiovascular system and may be a risk factor for AAA. The aim of this study was to investigate whether MAFLD is associated with the risk of AAA. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Association of Diabetes and Glycemic Control with Left Atrial Function: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
Although glycemic status is associated with impaired cardiac structure and function, less is known on left atrial (LA) function across the glycemic spectrum. We evaluated the association of diabetes and glycemic control with LA function in a community-based cohort of older adults. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)
