We examined the association of abnormal aPWA with stroke mortality in 7,359 participants (60.0 ± 13.4 years, 51.9% women, 49.8% White) without cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. aPWA was defined as any value75 °.

Relation of Cannabis Use to Elevated Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Score
We hypothesized that cannabis use is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. This could explain the reported link between cannabis and cardiovascular events including stroke and myocardial infarction. This analysis included 7,159 participants (age 37.8 ± 12.4 years, 48.6% men, and 61.5% Caucasian) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey years 2011 to 2018. Cannabis use was defined by self-report. Participants with a history of stroke or myocardial infarction were excluded.

Association Between Periodontal Disease and Cardiovascular Disease (from the NHANES)
As observational studies support the association between periodontal disease (PD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), we examined this relationship using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013 to 2014 data. This cross-sectional study involved 2,830 adult participants, aged ≥30 years who underwent a home interview, followed by a standardized assessment at a mobile examination center from 2013 to 2014. PD was defined using the new classification scheme issued by American Academy of Periodontology Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions in 2017, and CVD was ...
