Overweight and Obesity Prevalence Higher in Less Walkable Neighborhoods
The adjusted prevalence of overweight and obesity was lower in the highest walkable areas compared to the lowest (43.3% vs 53.5%).
Diabetes
Diabetes Patients With LDL-C <2.0 mmol/L at Increased Risk for CV Events
For diabetes patients with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels 2.5 mmol/L.
Air Pollution Can Increase Blood Glucose, LDL, and Triglycerides
After 3 months of air pollution exposure, researchers found individuals had higher blood glucose levels, higher levels of low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides, and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events Increased With Renal Function Decline
Patients with rapid decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate had adjusted risk of major adverse cardiovascular events that was 4.11 times higher.
Sulfonylureas May Increase Risk of Stroke in Patients With Diabetes
Treatment with sulfonylureas may inhibit the neuroprotective effects of KATP channel activation and increase stroke risk in patients with diabetes.
Revascularization Strategies for Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Diabetes
Percutaneous coronary intervention use has increased among patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease who present with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors Associated With Increased Stroke Mortality in Diabetes Patients
Compared with nonuse, current SSRI use correlated with increased 30-day stroke mortality (adjusted mortality rate ratio: 1.3), with the highest risk for new users.
Adiposity Variant Genetic Score Linked to Lower Cardiometabolic Disease Risk
Individuals who carried the most favorable adiposity alleles had higher body mass indexes and body fat percentages.
Cardiovascular Disease Mortality in Diabetes Patients Declined from 2000 to 2011
All age groups had significant decreases in all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes mortality rates except for diabetes mortality in younger individuals (ages 0 to 40).
Possible Genetic Link Between Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, and Psoriasis
The risk for obesity was greater among those with psoriasis—11.6% of people with psoriasis were obese, but only 8.1% of non-obese individuals had psoriasis.
