Allostatic load (AL), a measure of cumulative stress-related physiological dysregulation, predicts the onset chronic diseases. We investigated relationship between AL and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-free survival in parents offspring, including sex-specific differences.

Purpose: Early detection and management of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy postpartum are essential. This systematic review meta analysis aimed: (1) to examine the state 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) use, (2) in a subset studies, evaluate ABP parameters prediction identification Hypertensive Disorders Pregnancy (HDP). Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted March 2022 for English language studies published after 2000. In this review, we summarizing 24-hour,...

Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are transmitted from parents to children. We prospectively examined the association between parental cardiovascular health (CVH) and time onset of CVD in offspring. Methods results The study consisted a total 5967 offspring–mother–father trios derived Framingham Heart Study. score was defined using seven American Association’s CVH metrics attained at ideal levels: poor (0–2), intermediate (3–4), (5–7). Multivariable-adjusted Cox...

Background Evidence suggests familial aggregation and intergenerational associations for individual cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics. Over a 53-year life course, we examined trends association of CVH between parents their offspring at similar mean ages. Methods Results We conducted series cross-sectional analyses the FHS (Framingham Heart Study). Parent-offspring pairs were assessed exams where age distributions similar. Ideal was defined using 5 metrics: blood pressure (<120/<80 mm Hg),...

Although rare, pregnancy-associated takotsubo cardiomyopathy hospitalizations are more likely to occur during the postpartum period and associated with in-hospital mortality prolonged hospital stay.

The rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases and associated premature mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa contradicts the widely accepted premise that African countries are only dominated by infectious diseases, malnutrition, maternal child deaths. Among hypertension diabetes mellitus continue to be leading cause death worldwide, with 10–20 million people estimated have 12 reported Africa. purpose this study was assess cardiovascular–metabolic characteristics individuals living one rural...

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is facing a growing co-epidemic of chronic HIV infection and diabetes. Hemoglobin A1c (A1c) may underestimate glycemia among people living with (PLWH). We estimated the validity to diagnose diabetes PLWH HIV-uninfected persons in rural Uganda. Data were derived from cohort age- gender-matched comparators. compared fasting blood glucose (FBG) using Pearson correlations, regression models, sensitivity specificity for detecting FBG ≥126 mg/dL as reference standard....

This study used postcolonial theory as a critical lens to examine the factors that supported or hindered equitable partnership formation within an innovative international service-learning (ISL) program in nursing education.As ISL programs proliferate, ethical concerns have arisen minimal attention has been given both host and visiting partners' experience perceptions how these impact development outcomes.A hybrid intrinsic, instrumental, single embedded case design, including observations,...

Globally, there has been a steep rise in diabetes between 1980 and 2014, with the prevalence among adults over this time period nearly doubling from 108 million (4.7%) to 422 (8.5%). Type 2 mellitus (T2DM) accounts for most cases reported is major public health concern United States, affecting approximately 28 costing $245 billion annually.1,2 To place number context, every 17 seconds, an American diagnosed chronic condition, sobering alarming fact of life today.2,3 The high T2DM partially...

Maternal blood pressure (BP) is a critical cardiovascular marker with profound implications for maternal and fetal well-being, particularly in the detection of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. Although conventional clinic-based BP (CBP) measurements have traditionvally been used, monitoring 24-hour ambulatory (ABP) has emerged as more reliable method assessing levels diagnosing conditions such gestational hypertension preeclampsia/eclampsia. This study aimed to assess feasibility...

Energy-inefficient buildings are a major driver of climate change. The aging, energy inefficient housing occupied by low-income households in the US and other high-income countries is notable environmental health disparities as well. Public policies for alleviating financial burdens have existed decades, but fallen short reaching most need. This paper proposes promising new approach to filling gaps left public programs — one that relies on mobilizing tools private governance, carbon...

Abstract During the past 3 decades, life course socio-ecological frameworks have received considerable attention from clinical and public health professionals; developmental, social, behavioral scientists; scholars. Substantial evidence underscores importance of a approach to prevention cardiovascular (CV) disease promotion optimal CV health. This article provides an overview on early origins progression (CVD) processes across individuals diverse populations. Emphasis is placed...

Background There is evidence that heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)–related hospitalizations are increasing in the United States. However, there a lack of knowledge about HFpEF-related among younger adults. Objective The aims this study were to perform retrospective analysis using Nationwide Inpatient Sample and examine age-stratified sex differences prevalence, correlates, outcomes hospitalization across adult life span. Method Using (2002–2014), patient hospital...

Sedentary behavior, a key modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is prevalent among disease patients. However, few interventions target sedentary behavior in this group. This paper describes the protocol of parallel two-group randomized controlled trial novel multi-technology reduction intervention patients (registered at Clinicaltrial.gov, NCT05534256). The pilot (n = 70) will test 12-week “Sit Less” program, based on Habit Formation theory. 35 participants group receive an...

Introduction: Lifestyle risk behaviors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) often co-occur. However, little is known about their behavioral patterns among family caregivers, a population at high CVD. Aims: To identify distinct latent classes of caregivers lifestyle CVD and to examine the individual characteristics associated with membership in identified classes. Methods: This study included 643 unpaid from 2019 Health Information National Trends Survey 5 Cycle 3. The assessed cigarette use,...

Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are used to evaluate the relative burden of diseases in populations help set prevention or treatment priorities. The impact parental cardiovascular health (CVH) on healthy lost from disease (CVD) adult offspring is unknown. We compared parent-offspring CVD DALYs trends over course and examined association CVH with DALYs.Using data Framingham Heart Study, 4814 offspring-mother-father trios were matched for age at selected baseline exams. score was...
