150 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week predicts survival and successful ageing: a population-based 11-year longitudinal study of 12 201 older Australian men.
CONCLUSIONS: Sustained physical activity is associated with improved survival and healthy ageing in older men. Vigorous physical activity seems to promote healthy ageing and should be encouraged when safe and feasible. PMID: 24002240 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Developmental trajectories of body mass index throughout adulthood: evidence from the national population health survey
This study will apply group-based trajectory modeling to map adult body mass trajectories with an age axis spanning 18 to 64 years, based on the longitudinal data from Statistics Canada's National Population Health Survey 1994 (n=17276). Group-based trajectory modeling is a powerful semi-parametric statistical approach that captures information about inter-individual differences within a large population. Risk factors (time-instable covariates) including gender and age cohort, and time-varying covariates such as diet, daily activities, education level, income, lifestyle (sleep, smoking, and alcohol), stress, and mental hea...

Clinical predictors and significance of postvoid residual volume in women with diabetes
Abstract: Aims: To identify women with diabetes at risk of increased postvoid residual volume (PVR) and investigate the relationship of increased PVR to urinary symptoms in women with diabetes.Methods: PVR was measured by bladder ultrasonography in a cross-sectional cohort of 427 middle-aged and older women with diabetes. Participants completed questionnaires assessing urgency incontinence, stress incontinence, daytime frequency, nocturia, obstructive voiding, and diabetes-related end-organ complications: heart disease, stroke, neuropathy. Serum HbA1c and creatinine were recorded.Results: 75% of participants had a PVR of 0...

A Large Prospective Investigation of Sleep Duration, Weight Change, and Obesity in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study Cohort.
Abstract The relationship between sleep and obesity or weight gain in adults, particularly older populations, remains unclear. In a cohort of 83,377 US men and women aged 51-72 years, we prospectively investigated the association between self-reported sleep duration and weight change over an average of 7.5 years of follow-up (1995-2004). Participants were free of cancer, heart disease, and stroke at baseline and throughout the follow-up. We observed an inverse association between sleep duration per night and weight gain in both men (P for trend = 0.02) and women (P for trend < 0.001). Compared with 7-8 hours of...

Subclinical atherosclerotic calcification and cognitive functioning in middle-aged adults: The CARDIA study
We examined the association of coronary artery and abdominal aortic calcified plaque (CAC and AAC, respectively) with cognitive functioning in middle-aged adults.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 2510 black and white adults (age: 43–55 years) without heart disease or stroke who completed a year 25 follow-up exam (2010–11) as part of the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study. CAC and AAC were measured with non-contrast computed tomography. Cognition was assessed with the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) (psychomotor speed), Stroop Test (executive function), and Rey Auditory Verbal Learni...

Androgen activity, ischaemic heart disease and risk factors among men in NHANES III
ConclusionsAndrogen biomarkers had inconsistent associations with cardiovascular disease risk factors and ischaemic heart disease. Androstanediol glucuronide, rather than serum testosterone, had associations with cardiovascular disease risk factors more similar to those seen in randomized controlled trials of testosterone therapy, with corresponding implications for raising androgens.

Midlife fitness predicts less burden of chronic disease in later life.
CONCLUSIONS: Healthy, fit, middle-aged adults developed fewer chronic conditions in later life than unfit persons and had a lesser burden of chronic disease before death. PMID: 24169299 [PubMed - in process]

Therapeutic education in coronary heart disease: Position paper from the Working Group of Exercise Rehabilitation and Sport (GERS) and the Therapeutic Education Commission of the French Society of Cardiology.
Abstract Cardiovascular mortality has decreased over the past 25 years, largely because of acute coronary syndrome care and preventive actions. Nevertheless, the rate of coronary heart disease remains high, with an annual risk of 4.7% (cardiac mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke). Cardiovascular risk factor management must be a priority in primary and secondary prevention, to improve the prognosis of this severe disease, in which absence of symptoms does not mean benignity. The current goals of therapeutic patient education are smoking cessation, regular physical activity, a cardioprotective (Mediterranean) d...

Angiogenesis inhibition and depression in older men.
Conclusion: Serum endostatin is associated with depression in older men. It remains to be established whether correction of this imbalance is feasible and could decrease the prevalence of depression in later life. PMID: 24331740 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Lower sodium intake reduces blood pressure in adults and children, but is not associated with a reduced risk of all CVD or all cause mortality
Commentary on: Aburto NJ, Ziolkovska A, Hooper L, et al.. Effect of lower sodium intake on health: systematic review and meta-analyses. BMJ 2013;346:f1326 Context More than half a century has passed since the idea that the lower blood pressure (BP) associated with lower sodium intake justifies reduced intake for all. Authoritative bodies have subsequently endorsed this view with increasingly ambitious reduction goals. The US Department of Agriculture and US Department of Health and Human Services currently recommend <1.5 g sodium/day for virtually half the population, with <2.3 g1 levels for the remainder. ...

President's Page: Heart Month and the American College of Cardiology: A Lesson in Partnerships, Member Values, and Patient Education
The global statistics surrounding cardiovascular disease speak for themselves. Not only is cardiovascular disease the number 1 cause of death globally, but this trend is also expected to continue well into the future. According to the World Health Organization, the number of deaths from cardiovascular diseases, mainly from heart disease and stroke, is expected to reach 23.3 million by 2030 .
