Gender Differences in Change of Metabolic Syndrome Status and Its Components on All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortalities: Over a Decade Follow-up Study
Accumulating evidence suggests a close association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and excess risk of mortality. However, whether the dynamic change of MetS and its components could affect cause-specific mortalities and how this relation could be influenced by gender is yet to be clarified.

Effects of two-month treatment with a mixture of natural activators of autophagy on oxidative stress and arterial stiffness in patients with essential hypertension: a pilot study
Trehalose, spermidine, nicotinamide, and polyphenols are natural substances that exert pro-autophagic and antioxidant properties. Their role in blood pressure (BP) regulation and preservation of vascular function in essential hypertension is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a mixture of these agents on BP level, markers of oxidative stress, autophagy, endothelial function, and vascular stiffness in outpatients with grade 1 uncomplicated essential hypertension.

The Causal Associations of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease with Blood Pressure and the Mediating Effects of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: A Mendelian Randomization Study
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is prevalent in hypertensive people, but the causal effect remains unclear. We employed Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to assess the causality between NAFLD and different blood pressure (BP) parameters.

Consensus document on Lipoprotein(a) from the Italian Society for the Study of Atherosclerosis (SISA)
In view of the consolidating evidence on the causal role of Lp(a) in cardiovascular disease, the Italian Society for the Study of Atherosclerosis (SISA) has assembled a consensus on Lp(a) genetics and epidemiology, together with recommendations for its measurement and current and emerging therapeutic approaches to reduce its plasma levels. Data on the Italian population are also provided. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Association between Soft Drink Consumption and Carotid Atherosclerosis in a Large-scale Adult Population: the TCLSIH Cohort Study
Carotid atherosclerosis indicates an increased risk for cardiac-cerebral vascular disease. Given the pattern of consumption in China, sugar-sweetened beverage is the main type of soft drink consumed. Due to containing a high amount of fructose, soft drink may be a risk factor of carotid atherosclerosis. A prospective cohort study was conducted to investigate the association between soft drink consumption and the incidence of carotid atherosclerosis in a Chinese adult population.

Association of ultra-processed foods consumption with risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies
The epidemiological evidence regarding the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPF) on the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) is controversial. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to examine the association between UPF consumption and the risk of CCVDs within cohort studies.

Impact of methods for data selection on the day-to-day reproducibility of resting metabolic rate assessed with four different metabolic carts
Accomplishing a high day-to-day reproducibility is important to detect changes in resting metabolic rate (RMR) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) that may be produced after an intervention or for monitoring patients ’ metabolism over time. We aimed to analyze: (i) the influence of different methods for selecting indirect calorimetry data on RMR and RER assessments; and, (ii) whether these methods influence RMR and RER day-to-day reproducibility.

High-normal serum uric acid predicts macrovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without hyperuricemia based on a 10-year cohort
The upper limits of normal serum uric acid (SUA) or the lower limits of hyperuricemia were frequently set at 420 or 360 μmol/L (7 or 6 mg/dl).We aimed to explore the association between high-normal SUA (360≤SUA≤420 μmol/L) and incidence of macrovascular and renal events based on a 10-year cohort with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to explore which cut-off was more appropriate.

Association between Dietary Phytochemical Index, cardiometabolic risk factors and metabolic syndrome in Switzerland. The CoLaus Study.
Plant-based diets are associated with reduced cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) and lower risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS), probably via phytochemicals acting synergistically. However, dietary phytochemical content estimation is challenging; therefore, the dietary phytochemical index (DPI) was proposed as a practical way to assess total dietary phytochemical content from phytochemical-rich foods (PRFs). We evaluated the association between DPI with CRFs and MetS and its components. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)
