Food swamp environments associated with greater odds of stroke among adults 50 and older

Adults ages 50 and older who lived near dense fast food and unhealthy food environments known as "food swamps" had a higher risk of stroke compared to those who lived in areas with fewer retail and fast food choices, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2023.

Dual antiplatelet therapy for minor or a warning stroke is underused especially among women

Despite evidence that starting two blood-thinning medications shortly after a minor stroke or a warning stroke (transient ischemic attack - TIA) may prevent a second – possibly more serious – clot-caused stroke within a few months, the treatment regimen is underused especially among women, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2023.

People with celiac disease may be at higher risk of cardiovascular disease even with fewer known risk factors

People with celiac disease might have fewer known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, but still have a heightened risk of developing it, finds a study led by researchers from Oxford Population Health, published online in the journal BMJ Medicine.

Young adults with depression and poor mental health more likely to develop cardiovascular disease

Young adults who feel down or depressed are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) and have poor heart health, according to a new study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers who analyzed data from more than a half million people between the ages of 18 and 49.
