Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be a leading cause of illness and death among adults worldwide. The objective of this study was to calculate a CVD risk score from general practice (GP) clinical records and assess spatial variations of CVD risk in communities. Methods We used GP clinical data for 4,740 men and women aged 30 to 74 years with no history of CVD. A 10-year abs...

BACKGROUND To address a clinical impact of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVD) on cancer developments, we investigated an issue whether any difference in an incidence of cancers is present between patients with atherosclerotic CVD and those with non-atherosclerotic CVD. METHODS Of a total of 32,095 consecutive patients with acquired CVD enrolled in the Sakakibara Health Integrative ...

in order to decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (cvd), social determinants for cvd risk factors have been extensively studied in developed countries. however, few studies about them have been performed in low-middle-income countries. this study describes factors related to cvd risk factors in low-middle-income countries at a national level.data were assembled from international databa...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the single greatest contributor to the gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Our objective is to determine if holistic CVD risk assessment, introduced as part of the new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Adult Health Check (AHC), results in better identification of elevated CVD risk, improved delivery of preventi...

background: the risk of cardiovascular diseases (cvds) increases with age. the objective was to determine whether lifestyle and dietary behaviors and anthropometric measures, which are affected by these behaviors, contribute to the increase of cvd risk factors across age categories of 20–50‑year‑old. methods: in a cross‑sectional design, 437 adults aged 20–50‑year‑old were selected from househo...

Prediabetes, covering individuals with impaired fasting glycemia, impaired glucose tolerance, or high-risk HbA1c levels, is associated with a ∼20 % increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with normoglycemic individuals. It is well-known that lifestyle or pharmacologic interventions can prevent diabetes in prediabetic people; however, the evidence is less clear regardi...
