Fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with reduced all-cause and cardiovascular mortality
Commentary on: Wang X, Ouyang Y, Liu J, et al.. Fruit and vegetable consumption and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer: systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. BMJ 2014;349:g4490 Context Dietary guidelines from around the world recommend the daily consumption of a variety of fruits and vegetables. For example, the ‘5 a day’ public health campaign in the UK encourages people to consume at least five 80 g portions of fruits and vegetables every day.

Mendelian randomisation meta-analysis sheds doubt on protective associations between 'moderate' alcohol consumption and coronary heart disease
Commentary on: Holmes M, Dale C, Zuccolo L, et al.. Association between alcohol and cardiovascular disease: Mendelian randomisation analysis based on individual participant data. BMJ 2014;349:g4164. Context A protective association between low-dose alcohol and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) has been suggested by meta-analyses of observational studies and experimental studies. Observational studies are, however, vulnerable to residual confounding and selection bias. Compared with observational studies, the Mendelian randomisation (MR) approach can mitigate confounding, is immune to reverse causation, and is consistent...

Sexual dysfunction common in people with coronary heart disease, but few cardiovascular changes actually occur during sexual activity
Commentary on: Bispo GS, de Lima Lopes J, de Barros AL. Cardiovascular changes resulting from sexual activity and sexual dysfunction after myocardial infarction: integrative review. J Clin Nurs 2013;22:3522–31. Implications for practice and research Risk of myocardial infarction (MI) or arrhythmia with sexual activity is low, despite anxieties expressed by patients. Sexual counselling is needed to assist patients who wish to be sexually active and maintain the quality of their sex life. Further research is needed to identify the most efficacious sexual counselling interventions. Context Patients with post-MI often re...

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...

Role of respondents' education as a mediator and moderator in the association between childhood socio-economic status and later health and wellbeing
Conclusions: Childhood financial conditions have a unique direct effect on a wide range of health and wellbeing measures. These findings apply to both men and women. Generally, parental education has an indirect effect on later health, but mothers' education may also have a long-term direct effect on later health.

Survey and Risk Factors for Lower Urinary Tract Storage Symptoms in Middle ‐Aged and Older Stroke Patients in Urban China
ConclusionsOur study identified not only putative risk factors for LUTS in middle‐aged and elderly stroke patients, but genuine factors including snoring, living environment and educational background that increased the odds of storage symptoms as well. We identified that regular exercise and living with their children were protective factors for storage symptoms in stroke patients.

Predicted 10-Year Risk of Developing Cardiovascular Disease at the State Level in the U.S.
Conclusions The predicted 10-year risk of developing CVD varies significantly by age, gender, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, household income, and state of residence. These results support the development and implementation of targeted prevention programs by states to address the risk of developing CVD, CHD, and stroke among their populations.

Public knowledge of cardiovascular disease and its risk factors in Kuwait: a cross-sectional survey
Conclusions: There are deficiencies in CVD knowledge among Kuwaiti population, which could turn into insufficient preventative behaviours and suboptimal patient outcomes. There is an apparent need to establish more wide-spread and effective educational interventions, which should be sensitive to the perceptions, attitudes, and abilities of targeted individuals.

Epidemiology of hypertension
Publication date: April–June 2013 Source:Clinical Queries: Nephrology, Volume 2, Issue 2 Author(s): Jitendra Kumar Hypertension is an epidemic affecting one billion people and is the commonest risk factor for death throughout the world. World health statistics 2012 has estimated the prevalence of hypertension to be 29.2% in males and 24.8% in females. Approximately 90 percent for men and women who are non hypertensive at 55 or 65 years will develop hypertension by the age of 80–85. Hypertension is not limited to rich population and affects countries across all income groups. Out of total 58.8 million deaths worldwide...

Patient Empowerment Programme in primary care reduced all‐cause mortality and cardiovascular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a population‐based propensity‐matched cohort study
ConclusionsEnrolment in the PEP was associated with lower all‐cause mortality and a lower number of first CVD events among patients with T2DM. The CVD benefit of PEP might be attributable to improving metabolic control through empowerment of self‐care and the enhancement of quality of diabetes care in primary care.

Role of the new rural cooperative medical system in alleviating catastrophic medical payments for hypertension, stroke and coronary heart disease in poor rural areas of China
Conclusions: Out-of-pocket medical spending on hypertension, stroke and CHD imposes a heavy financial burden on the residents of fourth-class rural areas of China. The NRCMS has some impact on reducing catastrophic medical payments associated with these diseases, but improvement of the reimbursement rate is necessary to further improve its effectiveness.
