Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. This analysis of systemic reviews showed that cardiorespiratory fitness could be a strong predictor of mortality and chronic incident risk in adults. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a trait reflecting the delivery and...
Calcium Intake Is Negatively Associated with the Risk of CVD
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. In women more than 10 years post-menopause, researchers saw a significant negative association between calcium intake and the risk of cardiovascular diseases even after adjusting for both models of baseline characteristics....
Dietary Consumption of Live Microbes Improve Cardiovascular Health Risk in Adults
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. Compared to the low dietary live microbe group, the medium and high group had significantly higher LE8 scores (P <0.0001). Cardiovascular disease is still in major cause of death in developed countries and a global...
High Dose Vitamin C Ameliorates Incidence of Pulmonary Complications Post-Cardiac Surgery
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. The incidence of PPC was 36.7% overall and was significantly lower in the intervention group versus the control group (13.3% versus 60.0%, P<0.001). Cardiac operations with extracorporeal circulation generates systemic...
Understanding Methylation: A Vital Biochemical Process
Written by Taylor Woosley, Science Writer. Learn about the importance of methylation and how significant and crucial it's role is in our overall health and well-being. Methylation is an essential biochemical process that occurs in every cell of our body. This process...
Consumption of Forage Fish Could Improve Mortality from Ischemic Heart Disease Globally
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. Partially replacing red meat consumption with forage fish mainly decreases projected deaths caused by ischemic heart disease. In 2019, non-communicable diseases accounted for approximately 70% of deaths globally1. Four...
Higher Daily Step Count Associated with Reduced Risk of All-Cause Mortality
Written by Taylor Woosley, Science Writer. Observational findings of a population-based cohort study of over 70000 individuals shows that walking 9000 to 10500 steps per day was associated with a substantially lower risk of all-cause mortality and CVD risk. ...
The Association of Dietary Flavonol Intake and Mortality in Adults
Written by Harold Oster, MD. Results suggest that increased flavonol intake is associated with decreased mortality risk. Flavonoids are phenolic compounds found in various plants. Flavonols, a subclass of flavonoids, are abundant in fruits, vegetables, tea, and wine....
Association of Dietary Fructose and Sodium Consumption with the Incidence of Hypertensive Targeted Organ Damage
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. Individuals in the low fructose/ low sodium group also had higher odds of coronary calcification if they were diagnosed with high blood pressure at baseline (P<0.001). In the United states, cardiovascular disease is a...
The Effect of Low Dose Licorice Intake on Blood Pressure and Renin and Aldosterone Levels
Written by Harold Oster, MD. Results suggest that the daily intake of a low dose of licorice is associated with increased blood pressure and decreased levels of renin and aldosterone. Hypertension, which affects more than 40% of adults in the United States, is a...
