The study aimed to assess the trajectories of lifestyle characteristics and their association with 20-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence. In 2002, 3042 Greek adults (aged: 45 (12) years) free CVD were enrolled. 2022, follow-up was performed on 2169 participants; those, 1988 had complete data for CVD. incidence 3600 cases/10,000 individuals; man-to-woman ratio 1.25, peak difference in 35-45 age group (i.e., 2.1); however, a reversal trend observed age-groups 55-65 65-75, resumption...

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess whether aerobic exercise, as opposed resistance training or a combination both, is associated with long-term cardiovascular outcomes. Methods: ATTICA population-based cohort 20-year follow-up (2002–2022); it conducted in the Attica region, Greece, and included 3042 adult participants (45 ± 11 years, 1518 females).

Background: Although remdesivir treatment is widely used during the pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there scarce evidence regarding its cardiac side effects. Case presentation: We report case of a 36-year-old male hospitalized due to severe COVID-19 symptoms. He presented with 10-day history fever (up 39.7 °C), productive cough, hemoptysis, fatigue, myalgias and hypoxemia. The patient received supplemental oxygen, dexamethasone, empirical antibiotic according protocol....

Evidence of the association between dietary habits and long-term body weight status is scarce. This study aimed to evaluate changes in Mediterranean-type diet (MTD) adherence relation during 20 years follow-up. Data from n = 1582 participants ATTICA cohort (2002–2022) were used. MTD was assessed via MedDietScore, mass index (BMI) by 3 different measurements. We found that this inversely related BMI at mean 20-year In multi-adjusted linear regression models, a 1/55 increase baseline, 10-year,...

This study aims to investigate the role of built environment in terms urban-rural disparities cardiovascular disease (CVD) epidemiology, focusing on middle- and long-term CVD risk assessment. Moreover, this seeks explore sex-specific differences urban rural settings. The ATTICA Study is a prospective conducted from 2002 onwards. At baseline, random sample 3,042 CVD-free adults (49.8% men) were randomly drawn population Attica region, Greece, with 78% dwelling 22% municipalities. Follow-up...

Background: Elevated uric acid (UA) is a recognized risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to investigate whether this association exists in dyslipidemic patients receiving multifactorial treatment.Methods: An observational conducted Greece including 1,269 individuals followed-up lipid clinic ≥3 years. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated by CKD-EPI equation and CKD defined as ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The correlation assessed between UA levels the...
