(39 mg/dL) increase in estimated levels of non-fasting remnant cholesterol (defined as total cholesterol – [cholesterol in LDL and HDL]) was associated with a 2.8-fold causal risk for ischaemic heart disease; this was double the risk based on observational data alone (hazard ratio 1.4, 95...
This function can be widened to lower plasma cholesterol levels by the inclusion of rural Chinese populations and to higher levels by including cases with familial hypercholesterolemia in the risk equation. The lowest CHD risk is seen in the lowest rural Chinese cohort and the highest in homozygous...
It has been shown that presence of minimal CAC (i.e., CAC score 1 to 10) increases the risk of experiencing a coronary heart disease (CHD) event by 3-fold as compared with the absence of CAC. The hazard ratio for all-cause mortality was 1.99 (33). Moreover, progression of CAC adds...

Studies on the consumption of omega-6 fatty acids have shownconflicting results. However,there is some evidencethat high consumption of omega-6 fatty acids may reduce the protective effect of omega-3, indicating that the ratio of omega-3/omega-6 consumed may be of importance. ...

EPA is thought to have anti-inflammatory effects that may reduce pain and swelling, which can be helpful in several areas.BLOG: Omega-3 and COVID-19And, as this post on EPA advises, omega-3 fatty acids are “part of a healthy diet that helps lower risk of heart disease.” Specifically...
The inclusion of sex as a biological variable in research is absolutely essential for improving our understanding of disease mechanisms contributing to risk and resilience. Studies focusing on examining sex differences have demonstrated across many level
(men ≥45 years of age; women ≥55 years of age), or evidence of end-organ damage (albumin-to-creatinine ratio >30 mg/g [>3.39 mg/mmol], CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate >60 mL/min/1.73 m2], or retinopathy). The high-risk category for diabetes includes primary prevention ...
4. Mechanisms underlying cardiometabolic risk in menopause 4.1. Hormonal changes Dramatic decline in estradiol levels and changes in estrogens to androgens ratio that occur during menopausal transition coincide with increased incidence of CVD and T2D, and thus decreasing estradiol has been suggested as th...
