Self-Perceived Psychological Stress and Risk of First Stroke in Treated Hypertensive Patients
Objective We aimed to investigate the prospective association between self-perceived psychological stress and first stroke, and to examine possible effect modifiers among adults with hypertension. Methods A total of 20,688 hypertensive adults with information on self-perceived psychological stress at baseline were included from the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial. Participants were randomly assigned to a double-blind treatment of receiving a single tablet daily with either 10 mg enalapril and 0.8 mg folic acid or 10 mg enalapril alone. Follow-up visits occurred every 3 months after randomization. Psycholog...

What is already known on this topic People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are more likely to have psychiatric comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking and dyslipidemia.1 2 While stroke can trigger PTSD,3 prior to this study it was not known whether PTSD increases the risk for stroke. Methods of the study This was a longitudinal follow-up study to assess for development of stro...

Lifestyle and Neurocognition in Older Adults With Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Cognitive Impairment
Conclusions: Higher levels of physical activity, aerobic fitness, and adherence to the DASH diet are associated with better neurocognitive performance in adults with CIND. These findings suggest that the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits could reduce the risk of neurocognitive decline in vulnerable older adults. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT01573546.

Blood Pressure and Cognition Among Older Adults: A Meta-Analysis.
Abstract Hypertension has adverse effects on cognition, can alter cerebral vasculature integrity, and is associated with the pathogenesis of dementia. Using meta-analysis, we correlated blood pressure to multiple cognitive domains among older adults free of clinical stroke and dementia. We identified 230 studies indexed in PubMed and PsycINFO relating blood pressure and cognition. After applying exclusion criteria, we selected n = 12 articles with n = 4,076 participants (age range 43-91 years). Meta-analysis yielded an association between blood pressure and episodic memory (r = -.18, p < .001) and between blood...

Increased depression risk among patients with chronic osteomyelitis
Inflammatory processes, which provoke alternations of neurotransmitter metabolism, neuroendocrine function, and neuroplasticity in the brain, might promote depression. In depression patients who do not exhibit risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, Parkinson's disease and dementia, particularly in young people, inflammation is a likely risk factor for depression. We explored whether chronic osteomyelitis (COM), a chronic inflammatory disease, increases depression risk.

Relationships Among Disease, Social Support, and Perceived Health: A Lifespan Approach.
We examined the relationship between the cumulative presence of major disease (cancer, stroke, diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension), social support, and self-reported general and emotional well-being in a community representative sample of predominantly White and African American respondents (N = 1349). Across all ages, greater presence of disease predicted poorer reported general health, and predicted lower emotional well-being for respondents 40 and above. In contrast, social support predicted better-reported general and emotional well-being. We predicted that different types of social support (blood relatives, c...

Not-so-healthy sugar substitutes?
Publication date: June 2016 Source:Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, Volume 9 Author(s): Susan E Swithers Replacing sugar-sweetened beverages with diet soft drinks containing sugar substitutes that provide few or no calories has been suggested as one strategy for promoting improved public health outcomes. However, current scientific evidence indicates that routine consumption of beverages with non-nutritive sweeteners not only fails to prevent disease, but is associated with increases in risks for the same health outcomes associated with sugar-sweetened beverages, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease,...

Childhood Maltreatment and Health Impact: The Examples of Cardiovascular Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Adults
Child maltreatment is associated with increased risk of an array of mental and physical health problems. We reviewed studies examining associations of child maltreatment, assessed either alone or in combination with other adversities, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes. A search was conducted in PubMed for relevant studies until December 2015. Forty publications met inclusion criteria. Consistent positive associations were noted across a range of childhood adversities. Child maltreatment was associated with CVD (myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic heart disease, coronary heart disease) in 91.7% of st...

Cumulative childhood adversity and adult cardiometabolic disease: A meta-analysis.
Conclusions: The literature suggests that cumulative childhood adversity is modestly related to adult cardiometabolic disease, with effects somewhat stronger for CVD clinical outcomes. The absence of a consistent operational and conceptual definition of adversity and paucity of prospective designs temper the conclusions. It is time for further evaluation of the types and timing of childhood events that have maximal impact on adult cardiometabolic disease. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)

Outcomes in post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) at 6 months post-infection Part 1: Cognitive functioning
CONCLUSIONS: The results were noteworthy for infrequent Impaired scores, and significant correlations between cognition and mood/anxiety measures, but not between cognitive performance and premorbid vascular risk factors, psychiatric diagnoses, or COVID-19 disease severity. Results suggest that psychological distress was prominent in PASC and related to objective cognitive performance, but objective cognitive performance was unrelated to cognitive complaints. Other contributing factors may include fatigue/sleep issues. Neurologically based cognitive deficits were not suggested by the results.During the COVID-19 pandemic, r...
