Genes That Extend Lifespan May Do So by Mitigating the Increased Risk of Death Posed by Having Hypertension
Am J Hypertens. 2023 Aug 10:hpad070. doi: 10.1093/ajh/hpad070. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGenetic factors influence lifespan. In humans, there appears to be a particularly strong genetic effect in those aged ≥ 90 years. An important contribution is nutrient sensing genes which confer cell resilience. Our research has been investigating the genetic factors by longitudinal studies of American men of Japanese descent living on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. This cohort began as the Honolulu Heart Program in the mid-1960s and most subjects are now deceased. We previously discovered various genes containing polymorphisms as...

Where You Live Can Shape How Alzheimer ’ s Affects You
The FDA in mid-July for the first time ever approved an Alzheimer’s drug, Leqembi. The annual price-tag will run patients $26,500. The same week, the Alzheimer’s Association for the first time ever released county-level data to identify which communities are most struggling with the disease. 6.7 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s disease and 134,000 of them will die because of it each year. We’ve known these aggregate numbers for a while now, but with new data and new drugs, healthcare specialists can now better target attention and resources. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] ...

Association between depression and chronic diseases among middle-aged and older Chinese adults
CONCLUSION: Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with chronic diseases (including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and stroke), which suggests that psychological factors, such as depressive symptoms should be taken into consideration in the prevention and control of chronic diseases.PMID:37534639

Non-occupational physical activity and risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and mortality outcomes: a dose-response meta-analysis of large prospective studies
Conclusions Inverse non-linear dose–response associations suggest substantial protection against a range of chronic disease outcomes from small increases in non-occupational physical activity in inactive adults. PROSPERO registration number CRD42018095481.

Red Meat Consumption and its Relationship With Cardiovascular Health: A Review of Pathophysiology and Literature
Cardiol Rev. 2023 Jun 26. doi: 10.1097/CRD.0000000000000575. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRed meat is the muscle meat of mammals like beef, lamb, and pork that is red due to the abundance of myoglobin pigment and becomes even darker when cooked. The global average per capita consumption of meat and the total amount of meat consumed is rising, and there has been a particularly marked increase in the global consumption of chicken and pork. The consumption of red meat has always been a contentious issue, with data suggesting benefits in terms of nutritional value and at the same time linking its consumption to major health d...

Metabolic syndrome and osteoarthritis: implications for the management of an increasingly common phenotype
Metabolic syndrome is an accumulation of three or more seemingly benign and relatively common conditions (central obesity, hypertension, raised triglycerides, low HDL-cholesterol, glucose intolerance) that, together, increase the risk of developing serious chronic disease.1 It is estimated that one-quarter of adults worldwide have metabolic syndrome2 — a concerning statistic considering that this population is five times more likely to develop diabetes, and two-to-three times more likely to develop heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers.

7 Myths About Cholesterol, Debunked
You may not recall every lab value from your last physical, but you probably remember one: Your cholesterol level. If it’s higher than ideal, you’re not alone. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 2015 and 2018, almost 12% of U.S. adults ages 20 and up had high total cholesterol, defined as above 240 mg/dL. The type that physicians mostly worry about is LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol, which is one component of that total. Why do doctors care so much about cholesterol? First, “it predicts risk,” says Dr. Jeffrey Berger, a cardiologist and director of the C...

Cheese consumption and multiple health outcomes: an umbrella review and updated meta-analysis of prospective studies
Adv Nutr. 2023 Jun 14:S2161-8313(23)01328-5. doi: 10.1016/j.advnut.2023.06.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis umbrella review aims to provide a systematic and comprehensive overview of current evidence from prospective studies on the diverse health effects of cheese consumption. We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library to identify meta-analyses/pooled analyses of prospective studies examining the associations between cheese consumption and major health outcomes from inception to August 31, 2022. We reanalyzed and updated previous meta-analyses and performed de novo meta-analyses with recently published prospec...

The interaction between intestinal microenvironment and stroke
CONCLUSION: The structure and function of the intestinal environment can influence neurological function and cerebral ischemic outcome. Improving the intestinal microenvironment by targeting the gut microbiota may be a new direction in treating stroke.PMID:37309254 | DOI:10.1111/cns.14275
