Abstract 127: Cardiovascular Risk and Outcomes in Patients with Diabetes: Using Medical Education to Improve Care Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: This study demonstrated the success of a curriculum-style educational intervention using multimedia technology on improving knowledge and performance of cardiologists which can lead to enhanced management of CV risks and, thus, improved outcomes in patients with T2D and CVD.

Five-year 'death test' for older adults launched online
Conclusion This large study has identified numerous risk factors associated with a person's risk of death within five years. Researchers used this information to develop an online tool that predicts someone's risk of death within the next five years. The study's strengths include its large sample size and the prospective nature of the study design. But there are some limitations. There may be some bias in the type of people who volunteered to take part. The death rate was lower than that of the average population in this age group, which may indicate that the participants were more interested in their health and so had he...

Rationale and Design of the Investigation of Motivational Interviewing and Prevention Consults to Achieve Cardiovascular Targets (IMPACT) trial
Conclusions The IMPACT trial provides data on different management strategies for risk factor optimization in subjects following cardiovascular procedures. The results will provide a platform for the continued development of novel multidisciplinary interventions in this high-risk population.

Attention in Older Adults: A Normative Study of the Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test for Persons Aged 70 Years.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides IVA norms for 70-year-olds stratified by education and gender, increasing the usability of this instrument when testing persons near this age. The data presented here show some major differences from original IVA norms, and explanations for these differences are discussed. Explanations include the broad age-range used in the original IVA norms (66-99 years of age) and the passage of 15 years since the original norms were collected.

Risk of Incident Coronary Heart Disease Events in Men Compared to Women by Menopause Type and Race Epidemiology
Conclusions Sex differences in the risk of incident CHD events were larger among whites than blacks and varied by type of menopause. Women consistently had a lower risk of incident CHD death than men, but the magnitude of sex differences was greater in whites than blacks for nonfatal events, regardless of menopause type.

Cardiovascular health in Italy. Ten-year surveillance of cardiovascular diseases and risk factors: Osservatorio Epidemiologico Cardiovascolare/Health Examination Survey 1998-2012
Conclusions The burden of cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors remain high and require continuous appropriate action at the community and individual levels, as suggested by the European Guidelines for Cardiovascular Prevention.

Abstract 882: Obesity, comorbidity and endometrial cancer survival: the multiethnic cohort
We examined the association of pre-diagnostic BMI and obesity-related comorbidities with overall survival in African-American, Japanese, Native Hawaiian, Latino and white women in the Multiethnic Cohort.Methods: Women with complete risk factor data who developed endometrial cancer during follow up were included in the analysis (N = 998). BMI and obesity-related comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, heart attack and stroke) were self-reported at cohort entry and at subsequent follow-ups. Cox's models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) with time-varying exposures in relation to all...

The Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional Program to reduce events and risk factors in secondary prevention for cardiovascular disease: study protocol (The BALANCE Program Trial)
This article reports the rationale for the Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional Program (BALANCE Program) Trial. This pragmatic, multicenter, nationwide, randomized, concealed, controlled trial was designed to investigate the effects of the BALANCE Program in reducing cardiovascular events. The BALANCE Program consists of a prescribed diet guided by nutritional content recommendations from Brazilian national guidelines using a unique nutritional education strategy, which includes suggestions of affordable foods. In addition, the Program focuses on intensive follow-up through one-on-one visits, group sessions, and phone c...

Deaf Adolescents' Learning of Cardiovascular Health Information: Sources and Access Challenges
Deaf individuals have more cardiovascular risks than the general population that are believed to be related to their cardiovascular health knowledge disparities. This phenomenological study describes where 20 deaf sign language-using adolescents from Rochester, New York, many who possess many positive characteristics to support their health literacy, learn cardiovascular health information and their lived experiences accessing health information. The goal is to ultimately use this information to improve the delivery of cardiovascular health education to this population and other deaf adolescents at a higher risk for weak h...

Health literacy in an urban elderly East-German population – results from the population-based CARLA study
Conclusions: In this elderly general Eastern German population, we found higher HL score values compared with previous studies using the same questionnaire. HL was associated with socio-economic status. Furthermore, this cross-sectional study could show associations between HL and different health-related outcomes even after adjustment for educational level. However, further research is needed in order to evaluate the impact of HL on health-related outcomes using longitudinal data derived from the general population.

Comparative study about perception of tobacco package disease risk warning and aware COPD among intergenerational/institutional
Conclusion: The results showed that the regardless of age and institutions, imbalance was observed. In addition, health harm of smoke, despite the knowledge of package warning ratio was not unified. This was speculated that the elderly from the youth in Japan were not exposed to anti-tobacco msg and/or were not taught about the harmful. Moreover, we considered important that all risk perceptions will be uniform. Therefore we should do more educate and precaution of Smoking and COPD.

Lung Cancer and Exposure to Nitrogen Dioxide and Traffic: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: We found consistent evidence of a relationship between NO2, as a proxy for traffic-sourced air pollution exposure, with lung cancer. Studies of lung cancer related to residential proximity to roadways and NOx also suggest increased risk, which may be attributable partly to air pollution exposure. The International Agency for Research on Cancer recently classified outdoor air pollution and particulate matter as carcinogenic (Group 1). These meta-analyses support this conclusion, drawing particular attention to traffic-sourced air pollution. Citation: Hamra GB, Laden F, Cohen AJ, Raaschou-Nielsen O, Brauer...

African-Americans with depression more likely to have strokes, heart attack
Major depressive symptoms -- perceived stress, neuroticism, life dissatisfaction -- are associated with nearly twice the increased risk of stroke and coronary heart disease among African-Americans. African-Americans with depressive symptoms suffered more chronic conditions, exercised less, and had lower levels of education and income.
