Relationships between Age at Menarche and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Mortality among Japanese Women: The Japan Collaborative Cohort Study for Evaluation of Cancer Risk (JACC) Study
CONCLUSIONS: Both women with early and late age at menarche were determined to have higher risk of death from stroke and cardiovascular disease.PMID:35584930 | DOI:10.5551/jat.63321

Sleep and physical activity in relation to all-cause, cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality risk
Conclusion The detrimental associations of poor sleep with all-cause and cause-specific mortality risks are exacerbated by low PA, suggesting likely synergistic effects. Our study supports the need to target both behaviours in research and clinical practice.

Mortality and Morbidity Effects of Long-Term Exposure to Low-Level PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > , BC, NO < sub > 2 < /sub > , and O < sub > 3 < /sub > : An Analysis of European Cohorts in the ELAPSE Project
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term exposure to PM2.5, NO2, and BC was positively associated with natural-cause and cause-specific mortality in the pooled cohort and the administrative cohorts. Associations were found well below current limit values and guidelines for PM2.5 and NO2. Associations tended to be supralinear, with steeper slopes at low exposures with no indication of a threshold. Two-pollutant models documented the importance of characterizing the ambient mixture with both NO2 and PM2.5. We mostly found negative associations with O3. In two-pollutant models with NO2, the negative associations with O3 were attenuated to esse...

Mild-to-Moderate Kidney Dysfunction and Cardiovascular Disease: Observational and Mendelian Randomization Analyses
CONCLUSIONS: In people without manifest cardiovascular disease or diabetes, mild-to-moderate kidney dysfunction is causally related to risk of CHD, highlighting the potential value of preventive approaches that preserve and modulate kidney function.PMID:36314129 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.060700

Troponin T, B-type natriuretic peptide, C-reactive protein, and cause-specific mortality
Conclusions: Greater levels of Hs-TnT, NT-proBNP and Hs-CRP are associated with increased risk of death, not just from CVD, but also from some noncardiovascular causes.

Scan could detect those on brink of heart attack
Conclusion This is a valuable study which shows the promise of using PET-CT with radioactively labelled sodium fluoride (NaF) as a way of identifying fatty deposits in the heart arteries that could be at risk of rupturing and causing a heart attack. The results confirmed that the marker used in this study (NaF) was better than the chemical marker normally used in PET-CT scans (FDG). The technique has the principal value of being a non-invasive technique compared with coronary angiography, which is the standard method used to look at blockages in heart arteries. As it does not involve surgical intervention, this could ha...

Effects of Habitual Coffee Consumption on Cardiometabolic Disease, Cardiovascular Health, and All-cause Mortality: O'Keefe JH, Bhatti SK, Patil HR. J Am Coll Cardiol 2013;62:1043−51.
This study examines existing data regarding coffee consumption and its effect on health and all-cause mortality. Coffee consumption confers a benefit in the reduction of Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There was significant reduction in a dose-dependent relationship of coffee consumption and reduction of T2DM. Caffeinated and noncaffeinated beverages confer the same benefit. The authors conclude that coffee's effect on serum lipids is a dose-dependent increase in serum total cholesterol and a nonsignificant increase in low-density lipoprotein concentrations in only boiled preparations of coffee, but not for filtered coff...

A critique of Women's Health Initiative Studies (2002-2006).
Authors: Clark JH Abstract The Women's Health Initiative Studies (WHI) were designed to examine the effects of estrogen and progestin (E+P; Prempro) and estrogen alone (Premarin) in post-menopausal women. The authors of the WHI studies and the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) concluded that E+P treatment increased the risks of coronary heart disease, invasive breast cancer, stroke and venous thromboembolism. The following paper contains a reevaluation of these studies based on the graphic analysis of their tabulated data. In contrast to the conclusions reached by the WHI and the NHLBI, I conclude tha...

Title: Ritual Risk: Incense Use and Cardiovascular Mortality
This study is of particular significance given that cardiovascular disease is one of the most common chronic diseases in the population worldwide,” says Karin Yeatts, an epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who has studied indoor air quality in the Middle East. In contrast with outdoor air pollution, incense exposure may be easier for an individual to avoid, but Yeatts says education will be needed to help people understand the risks of these exposures, similar to educational campaigns about cigarette smoking. Limitations to the study include lack of information on the type of incense burned...

Occupational class differences in later life hospital use by women who survived to age 80: the Renfrew and Paisley prospective cohort study
Conclusion: in this population, there were no socio-economic gradients seen in hospital utilisation for general admissions in old age. However, occupational class was associated with mental health admissions, coronary heart disease, stroke and cancer.

Effect of Low‐Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Lowering by Ezetimibe/Simvastatin on Outcome Incidence: Overview, Meta‐Analyses, and Meta‐Regression Analyses of Randomized Trials
ABSTRACT This analysis investigated the extent of different outcome reductions from low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) lowering following ezetimibe/simvastatin treatment and the proportionality of outcome to LDL‐C reductions. The authors searched PubMed between 1997 and mid‐June 2015 (any language) and the Cochrane Library to identify all randomized controlled trials comparing ezetimibe/simvastatin with placebo or less intensive LDL‐C lowering. Risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), standardized to 20 mg/dL LDL‐C reduction, were calculated for 5 primary outcomes (fatal and nonfatal) and...
