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.

Mode of transport, genetic susceptibility, and incidence of coronary heart disease
CONCLUSION: Exclusive use of cars was associated with a relatively higher risk of CHD across all strata of genetic susceptibility. Using alternatives to the car should be encouraged for prevention of CHD for the general population including individuals at high genetic risk.PMID:37403110 | DOI:10.1186/s12966-023-01484-4

Supermarket trolley sensors could help to identify risk of stroke, say scientists
Study with 2,155 participants at Sainsbury ’s stores leads to atrial fibrillation diagnosis for 39 people unaware they had conditionSupermarket trolleys may be known for their wonky wheels and rusty frames, but researchers say the carts could be used to save lives by helping to identify people at risk of stroke through sensors in their handles.According to the British Heart Foundation, one in 45 people in the UK are living with atrial fibrillation (AF), which causes an abnormal heart rhythm and can increase the risk of stroke. While people may be unaware they have the condition, early detection and diagnosis is important...

Endocan is Related to Increased Cardiovascular Risk in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients
Conclusion: Endocan was the independent predictor for moderate and high estimated risks (i.e., nonfatal and fatal CHD and nonfatal stroke risk scores) in T2D patients. When included in models with sex and obesity indices endocan demonstrated good clinical accuracy in discriminating T2D patients with high risk for nonfatal and fatal eCHD and nonfatal stroke risk from those patients with low risk.PMID:37279462 | DOI:10.1089/met.2023.0050

A Sugar Replacement May Be Linked to Heart Attacks and Strokes. Don ’ t Throw Out Your Stash Yet
Sugar replacements are everywhere in foods and beverages. But despite their ubiquity, the scientific verdict on whether or not they pose health risks ping pongs back and forth. Every so often, though, a study is published with a conclusion so shocking that it forces people to reassess their pantries. A Feb. 27 study published in the journal Nature Medicine now seems to have dealt such a blow to the sweetener erythritol, with data that suggest a connection between the ingredient and cardiovascular events such as clotting, stroke, and heart attacks. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] But before you clear your shel...

Associations of ophthalmic and systemic conditions with incident dementia in the UK Biobank
Conclusions AMD, cataract and DRED but not glaucoma are associated with an increased risk of dementia. Individuals with both ophthalmic and systemic conditions are at higher risk of dementia compared with those with an ophthalmic or systemic condition only.

The final puff: Can New Zealand quit smoking for good?
Smoking kills. Ayesha Verrall has seen it up close. As a young resident physician in New Zealand’s public hospitals in the 2000s, Verrall watched smokers come into the emergency ward every night, struggling to breathe with their damaged lungs. Later, as an infectious disease specialist, she saw how smoking exacerbated illness in individuals diagnosed with tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. She would tell them: “The best thing you can do to promote your health, other than take the pills, is to quit smoking.” Verrall is still urging citizens to give up cigarettes—no longer just one by one, but by the thousands. As New...

Drinking Black Tea May Lower Mortality Risk, Study Suggests
While green tea has a long-standing reputation for health benefits, research has been much more mixed on black tea. One problem, says Maki Inoue-Choi, an epidemiologist at the National Cancer Institute, is that large observational studies on tea and mortality have focused on countries like Japan or China—places where green tea is more popular. To fill this gap, Inoue-Choi and her colleagues analyzed data in the United Kingdom, where black tea drinking is common. After surveying about 500,000 people and following them for a median of 11 years, the results, published Aug. 29 in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, ...

Association of an evolutionary-concordance lifestyle pattern score with cardiovascular disease incidence among Black and White men and women
Br J Nutr. 2022 Aug 9:1-28. doi: 10.1017/S0007114522002549. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDietary and lifestyle evolutionary discordance is hypothesized to play a role in the etiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD), and stroke. We aimed to investigate associations of a previously-reported, total (dietary plus lifestyle) evolutionary-concordance (EC) pattern score with incident CVD, CHD, and stroke. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression to investigate associations of the EC score with CVD, CHD, and stroke incidence among United States Black and White men and women...

Sleep and physical activity in relation to all-cause, cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality risk
Conclusion The detrimental associations of poor sleep with all-cause and cause-specific mortality risks are exacerbated by low PA, suggesting likely synergistic effects. Our study supports the need to target both behaviours in research and clinical practice.

Associations of Dietary Intakes of Vitamins B1 and B3 with Risk of Mortality from Cardiovascular Disease among Japanese Men and Women: the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: Higher dietary intakes of vitamins B1 and B3 were inversely associated with mortality from ischemic heart disease and a higher dietary intake of vitamin B1 was inversely associated with a reduced risk of mortality from heart failure among Japanese men and women.PMID:35466893 | DOI:10.1017/S0007114522001209

Walters, Liming Li, Zhengming Chen, Sarah Parish, for the China Kadoorie Biobank Collaborative Group BackgroundTaller adult height is associated with lower risks of ischemic heart disease in mendelian randomization (MR) studies, but little is known about the causal relevance of height for different subtypes of ischemic stroke. The present study examined the causal relevance of height for different subtypes of ischemic stroke. Met...
