Major cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are leading causes of mortality among US Hispanic and Latino individuals. Comprehensive data limited regarding the prevalence CVD risk factors in this population relations these traits to socioeconomic status (SES) acculturation.To describe major (coronary heart disease [CHD] stroke) Hispanic/Latino individuals different backgrounds, examine relationships SES acculturation with profiles CVD, assess cross-sectional associations CVD.Multicenter,...
Calcified plaque in the coronary arteries is a marker for atheromatous-plaque burden and predictive of future risk cardiovascular events. We examined relationship between estrogen therapy coronary-artery calcium context randomized clinical trial.
Background— Individuals with vascular or valvular calcification are at increased risk for coronary events, but the relationship between calcium consumption and cardiovascular events is uncertain. We evaluated of cerebrovascular in Women’s Health Initiative randomized trial plus vitamin D supplementation. Methods Results— 36 282 postmenopausal women 50 to 79 years age 40 clinical sites carbonate 500 mg 200 IU twice daily placebo. Cardiovascular disease was a prespecified secondary efficacy...
Coronary artery calcium (CAC), measured by computed tomography (CT), has strong predictive value for incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. The standard CAC score is the Agatston, which weighted upward greater density. However, some data suggest increased plaque density may be protective CVD.To determine independent associations of volume and with CVD events.Multicenter, prospective observational MESA study (Multi-Ethnic Study Atherosclerosis), conducted at 6 US field centers 3398 men...
Some propose using phosphate binders in the CKD population given association between higher levels of phosphorus and mortality, but their safety efficacy this are not well understood. Here, we aimed to determine effects on parameters mineral metabolism vascular calcification among patients with moderate advanced CKD. We randomly assigned 148 estimated GFR=20-45 ml/min per 1.73 m(2) calcium acetate, lanthanum carbonate, sevelamer or placebo. The primary endpoint was change mean serum from...
Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40-50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To examine dose–response relationships between the cumulative number of months women lactated and postmenopausal risk factors for cardiovascular disease. METHODS: We examined data from 139,681 (median age 63 years) who reported at least one live birth on enrolling in Women's Health Initiative observational study or controlled trials. Multivariable models were used to control sociodemographic (age, parity, race, education, income, menopause), lifestyle, family history...
Background— Previous studies have indicated higher rates of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in blacks than non-Hispanic whites (NHWs), with limited information available for Hispanics and Asians. The reason the PAD excess is unclear. Methods Results— Ethnic-specific prevalence were determined a randomly selected defined population that included 4 ethnic groups; NHWs, blacks, Hispanics, A total 2343 participants aged 29 to 91 years evaluated. There 104 cases (4.4%). In weighted logistic...
