In patients with type 2 diabetes, the effects of intensive glucose control on vascular outcomes remain uncertain.We randomly assigned 11,140 diabetes to undergo either standard or control, defined as use gliclazide (modified release) plus other drugs required achieve a glycated hemoglobin value 6.5% less. Primary end points were composites major macrovascular events (death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke) and microvascular (new worsening nephropathy...
Reliable and comparable analysis of risks to health is key for preventing disease injury. Causal attribution morbidity mortality risk factors has traditionally been conducted in the context methodological traditions individual factors, often a limited number settings, restricting comparability.In this paper, we discuss conceptual issues quantifying population effects or groups various levels causality using knowledge from different scientific disciplines. The include: comparing burden due...

The last few years have seen a considerable increase in the amount of information available concerning blood pressure (BP) and stroke associations. This article provides an overview published reviews effects on trials BP-lowering drugs compares these with results from cohort studies.We present review major overviews prospective studies updated meta-analysis >40 randomized controlled BP lowering, which included >188 000 participants approximately 6800 events. Cohort now indicate that Asia...
IMPORTANCE Cardiovascular disease prevention, including lifestyle modification, is important but underutilized.Mobile health strategies could address this gap lack evidence of therapeutic benefit.OBJECTIVE To examine the effect a lifestyle-focused semipersonalized support program delivered by mobile phone text message on cardiovascular risk factors. DESIGN AND SETTINGThe Tobacco, Exercise and Diet Messages (TEXT ME) trial was parallel-group, single-blind, randomized clinical that recruited...
Background Cardiovascular diseases and their nutritional risk factors—including overweight obesity, elevated blood pressure, cholesterol—are among the leading causes of global mortality morbidity, have been predicted to rise with economic development. Methods Findings We examined age-standardized mean population levels body mass index (BMI), systolic total cholesterol in relation national income, food share household expenditure, urbanization a cross-country analysis. Data were from over 100...
