Associations of Biomarker-Calibrated Sodium and Potassium Intakes With Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among Postmenopausal Women
AbstractStudies of the associations of sodium and potassium intakes with cardiovascular disease incidence often rely on self-reported dietary data. In the present study, self-reported intakes from postmenopausal women at 40 participating US clinical centers are calibrated using 24-hour urinary excretion measures in cohorts from the Women's Health Initiative, with follow-up from 1993 to 2010. The incidence of hypertension was positively related to (calibrated) sodium intake and to the ratio of sodium to potassium. The sodium-to-potassium ratio was associated with cardiovascular disease incidence during an average follow-up ...

Sex differences in the relationship between socioeconomic status and cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions Reduction of socioeconomic inequalities in CHD and CVD outcomes might require different approaches for men and women.

Air pollution and cardiovascular events at labor and delivery: a case-crossover analysis
In this case-crossover study, we investigated the odds of having a labor/delivery with cardiovascular event (i.e., ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure, cardiac arrest/failure, and other or unspecified cardiovascular events) associated with acute exposure to common air pollutants.

Leveraging cell type specific regulatory regions to detect SNPs associated with tissue factor pathway inhibitor plasma levels
ABSTRACT Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) regulates the formation of intravascular blood clots, which manifest clinically as ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism (VTE). TFPI plasma levels are heritable, but the genetics underlying TFPI plasma level variability are poorly understood. Herein we report the first genome‐wide association scan (GWAS) of TFPI plasma levels, conducted in 251 individuals from five extended French‐Canadian Families ascertained on VTE. To improve discovery, we also applied a hypothesis‐driven (HD) GWAS approach that prioritized single nucleotide polymorphism...

Sex Differences Do Not Exist in Outcomes among Stroke Patients with Intracranial Atherosclerosis in China: Subgroup Analysis from the Chinese Intracranial Atherosclerosis Study
Conclusions: These results suggest no sex difference in outcome among patients with ICAS in Chinese cerebral ischemia patients.Neuroepidemiology 2017;48:48-54

Trends in educational inequalities in premature mortality in Belgium between the 1990s and the 2000s: the contribution of specific causes of deaths
Conclusion Absolute inequalities decreased in men while increasing in women; relative inequalities increased in both sexes. The PAFs decomposition revealed that targeting mortality inequalities from lung cancer, IHD, COPD in both sexes, suicide in men and stroke in women would have the largest impact at population level.

Family aggregation of cardiovascular disease mortality: a register-based prospective study of pooled Nordic twin cohorts
ConclusionsFamily aggregation was found for CHD and haemorrhagic stroke. Clustering of risk factors in families increases the risk of CVD.

Fruit and vegetable intake and the risk of cardiovascular disease, total cancer and all-cause mortality —a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies
Conclusions: Fruit and vegetable intakes were associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and all-cause mortality. These results support public health recommendations to increase fruit and vegetable intake for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and premature mortality.

Age-specific impact of diabetes mellitus on the risk of cardiovascular mortality: An overview from the evidence for Cardiovascular Prevention from Observational Cohorts in the Japan Research Group (EPOCH-JAPAN).
CONCLUSIONS: The management of diabetes is important to reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, not only in midlife but also in late life, in the Japanese population. PMID: 28142033 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Optimism and Cause-Specific Mortality: A Prospective Cohort Study
<span class="paragraphSection"><div class="boxTitle">Abstract</div>Growing evidence has linked positive psychological attributes like optimism to a lower risk of poor health outcomes, especially cardiovascular disease. It has been demonstrated in randomized trials that optimism can be learned. If associations between optimism and broader health outcomes are established, it may lead to novel interventions that improve public health and longevity. In the present study, we evaluated the association between optimism and cause-specific mortality in women after considering the role of potential confounding (soc...

Coffee intake, cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality: observational and Mendelian randomization analyses in 95 000–223 000 individuals
Conclusions:</strong> Observationally, coffee intake was associated with U-shaped lower risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality; however, genetically caffeine intake was not associated with risk of cardiovascular disease or all-cause mortality.</span>

Effects of invitation to participate in health surveys on the incidence of cardiovascular disease: a randomized general population study
Conclusions: Repeated general health checks offered to the general population had no beneficial effects on the development of IHD, stroke or all-cause mortality during 30 years of follow-up. An increased incidence of stroke was observed in the group offered health checks.
