Possible Biological Pathways Affected by PFAS Associated with Increased Risk of CVD in Postmenopausal Women
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. Researchers also found 31 proteins that were significantly altered by tPFOS, PFOA, and PFBS. Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances or PFAS are chemicals used in household products1,2. Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)...
B-Vitamin Protective Against Mortality Risk in Angina Patients Treated with Calcium Channel Blockers
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. In patients not treated with B vitamins, after adjusting for all covariates, researchers found a significant risk in all-cause mortality [model 3: HR-1.54, P < 0.041] and CVD mortality [model 3: HR-1.69, P < 0.041]....
The Association of Flavonoid Intake with Mortality in Patients with Hypertension
Written by Harold Oster, MD. Results suggest that increased flavonoid intake is associated with lower mortality in patients with hypertension. Hypertension affects more than 40% of adults in the United States. It is a major risk factor for stroke, cardiovascular...
High Cardiorespiratory Fitness Associated with Reduced Risk of Mortality and Chronic Disease Incidence
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. ...
