Hypercholesterolemia and Neurological Diseases Related Mortality in the NEDICES Cohort (P6.030)
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term overall mortality rate is lower among elderly subjects with HC when compared to those without HC. This association is justified mainly by a decrease in non-cardiovascular mortality, without any association of HC with cause-specific or combined cardiovascular or neurological causes of mortality.Study Supported by: Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII), Spain.Disclosure: Dr. Sierra-Hidalgo has nothing to disclose.

Linking social capital and mortality in the elderly: A Swedish national cohort study.
CONCLUSION: There are associations between low linking social capital and mortality from chronic disorders and suicide in the elderly population. Community support for elderly people living in neighborhoods with low levels of linking social capital may need to be strengthened. PMID: 24632181 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association between serum uric acid levels and cardiovascular disease in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals
This study sought to determine whether elevated serum uric acid levels are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals. Methods: We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study in Shanghai, with a total of 8510 participants aged>=40 years. The CVD included diagnosed coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke. MetS was defined according to the updated National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria for Asian Americans. Results: Uric acid levels were positively associated with BMI, waist circumference, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, diastol...

Use of antithrombotics in atrial fibrillation in Africa, Europe, Asia and South America: Insights from the International RealiseAF Survey.
CONCLUSION: There is substantial deviation from international guidelines in antithrombotic use for AF in routine clinical practice, with overuse and underuse of antithrombotics in about 50% of the cases and important geographical differences. These findings emphasize the need for improved medical education worldwide and a better understanding of geographical disparities in the implementation of guidelines.

Female stroke survivors’ quality of life investigated
Conclusion The study suggests that women have a lower quality of life than men three and 12 months after they have been discharged from hospital after experiencing a stroke or mini-stroke. While the results were statistically significant, the relative differences appeared small. For example at three months (where the largest difference was found) the average difference in quality of life score between men and women was 0.036 points. This is on a quality of life scale that ranges from 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health). The quality of life difference at 12 months was 0.022 points. Whether these small differences are clinicall...

The relationship between insulin-sensitive obesity and cardiovascular diseases in a Chinese population: Results of the REACTION study
Conclusion: Both general and abdominal obesity were associated with elevated prevalent cardiovascular diseases and 10-year CHD risk, regardless of the presence or absence of insulin resistance.

Women who spend too long sitting may die earlier
Conclusion This cohort study looking at the link between sedentary time in postmenopausal women and their risk of death, benefits from its large sample size of almost 100,000 women, and 12 year follow-up. It finds, as previous research has found, that increased sedentary time is generally associated with increased risk of death. The main risk was for women with the highest sedentary time (greater than 11 hours sitting per day) who were at increased risk of death from any cause and deaths from heart disease or cancer compared with women sitting for less than four hours a day. The links were less clear for women sedentary ...

150 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week predicts survival and successful ageing: a population-based 11-year longitudinal study of 12 201 older Australian men
Conclusions Sustained physical activity is associated with improved survival and healthy ageing in older men. Vigorous physical activity seems to promote healthy ageing and should be encouraged when safe and feasible.

Angiogenesis inhibition and depression in older men.
Conclusion: Serum endostatin is associated with depression in older men. It remains to be established whether correction of this imbalance is feasible and could decrease the prevalence of depression in later life. PMID: 24331740 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association of Ideal Cardiovascular Health Metrics and Retinal Microvascular Findings: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study Epidemiology
Conclusions Few adults had ideal cardiovascular health. Those with the best level of health were less likely to have retinopathy signs, wide retinal venules, and narrow retinal arterioles, which are associated with increased stroke and coronary heart disease risk.

Therapeutic education in coronary heart disease: Position paper from the Working Group of Exercise Rehabilitation and Sport (GERS) and the Therapeutic Education Commission of the French Society of Cardiology.
Abstract Cardiovascular mortality has decreased over the past 25 years, largely because of acute coronary syndrome care and preventive actions. Nevertheless, the rate of coronary heart disease remains high, with an annual risk of 4.7% (cardiac mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke). Cardiovascular risk factor management must be a priority in primary and secondary prevention, to improve the prognosis of this severe disease, in which absence of symptoms does not mean benignity. The current goals of therapeutic patient education are smoking cessation, regular physical activity, a cardioprotective (Mediterranean) d...
