Few simple adjustments to your daily diet can help reduce heart disease risk

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women, with half of all Americans (47%) qualifying for at least one of the three key risk factors (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking cigarettes).

Proximity to residential green space linked with higher birth weight

There is scientific evidence that maternal exposure to natural environments supports healthy fetal growth. However, study results up to date had been heterogeneous across regions and there is very little research on the effects of blue spaces such as rivers, the sea or lakes.

Study shows the effectiveness of web-based interventions for promoting weight loss

Being obese and overweight can cause serious chronic diseases, which include type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and certain types of cancer.

All-cause mortality risk higher among individuals with head injury

Adults who suffered any head injury during a 30-year study period had two times the rate of mortality than those who did not have any head injury, and mortality rates among those with moderate or severe head injuries were nearly three times higher, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, published today in JAMA Neurology.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and endothelial impairment linked to many cardiovascular diseases

Many cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, or 'hardening of the arteries,' correlate to mitochondrial dysfunction and endothelial impairment in the tissues of the heart and blood vessels.

What is the association between COVID-19, cardiovascular disease, and mortality?

In a new study, researchers evaluated the association between COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) and CVD (cardiovascular disease) and/or death.

Experimental regenerative medicine shows potential to restore bone in an animal

Bone loss is a part of aging that compromises quality of life and movement in many older people, but regenerative treatments to improve their health and well-being have been limited.

Understanding the mechanisms involved in heart disease and cancers

In a crucial step towards understanding the mechanisms involved in cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, a Canadian led research team has succeeded in a world first: they've found the molecular mechanism by which the protein PCSK9 degrades the receptor of low density lipoproteins, the richest cholesterol particles in the bloodstream.

Overweight people have a different vitamin D metabolism

A new study in JAMA Network Open aimed to determine whether BMI is capable of modifying vitamin D metabolism as well as response to supplementation.

Acquired mutations in 'Guardian of the Genome' accelerate the development of atherosclerosis

A team at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), working in collaboration with institutes in the USA, has demonstrated that acquired mutations in the gene encoding the protein p53 contribute to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Association of aldosterone with ideal cardiovascular health in incident diabetes

A new study in the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology aimed to analyze the role of aldosterone as a mediator in the association of ICH with T2DF incidence among AAs in the JHS. The association of aldosterone with T2D incidence among AAs was also analyzed using glucose and blood pressure as mediators.

Beverage fructose intake may lead to an abnormal cardiometabolic profile

A new study describes that fructose intake from sugar-sweetened beverages can cause cardiometabolic disorders. In contrast, fruit fructose was found to be good for cardiometabolic health.
