Prevalence and risk factors of retinal vein occlusion in the United States: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2005 to 2008
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2023 Feb 14;36(3):335-340. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2173938. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTRetinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a rare, vision-threatening vascular disorder. Due to limited recovery associated with RVO, prevention is essential. There is a significant discrepancy in previously reported epidemiological studies in the United States on the prevalence and risk factors of RVO. The purpose of this retrospective, cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of RVO in adults ≥40 years of age in the US using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2...

Recommended and Observed Statin Use among U.S. Adults – National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011-2018
Heart disease and stroke are the first and fifth leading causes of death in the United States.1 A leading risk factor for both conditions, high blood cholesterol levels are positively associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).2-5 The 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults (2013 Cholesterol Guideline) eliminated specific LDL-c treatment targets, shifted treatment focus to use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), identified four patient groups most likely to bene...

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...

Comparative mortality according to peripheral artery disease and coronary heart disease/stroke in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: In the US adults, PAD contributed to increased mortality in persons with and without CHD/stroke. The prognosis of PAD without CHD/stroke was no better than that of CHD/stroke without PAD. These results suggest the importance of recognizing the presence of PAD in the community.PMID:35584971 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2022.04.029

State-of-the-Art Review: Evidence on Red Meat Consumption and Hypertension Outcomes
Am J Hypertens. 2022 May 13:hpac064. doi: 10.1093/ajh/hpac064. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHypertension (HTN) is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure and atrial fibrillation. The prevalence of HTN, as well as mortality rates attributable to HTN, continue to increase, particularly in the United States and among Black populations. The risk of HTN involves a complex interaction of genetics and modifiable risk factors, including dietary patterns. In this regard, there is accumulating evidence that links dietary intake of red meat with a high...

Cardiovascular health status of taxi/for-hire vehicle drivers in the United States: A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Rigorous and high quality research is needed to further investigate rates of cardiovascular health in this population. The complexity of data collection in this group presents challenges to this endeavor. The high prevalence of poor nutrition, limited physical activity, diabetes, and blood pressure across studies indicates an urgent need to address low rates of health care access at a policy level and to design targeted workplace interventions.PMID:34219688 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-213525

Prevalence of and Changes in Tooth Loss Among Adults Aged ≥50 Years with Selected Chronic Conditions - United States, 1999-2004 and 2011-2016.
Abstract Extensive tooth loss can lead to poor diet resulting in weight loss or obesity (1). It can also detract from physical appearance and impede speech, factors that can restrict social contact, inhibit intimacy, and lower self-esteem (1). Chronic medical conditions and oral conditions share common risk factors (2). Persons with chronic conditions are more likely to have untreated dental disease, which can result in tooth loss. Three measures of tooth loss during 1999-2004 and 2011-2016 were estimated by comparing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for each period among adu...
