Summary: This study provides a comprehensive and up-to-date evidence-based map on the impact of micronutrients on cardiovascular disease outcomes. It reveals that supplementation of certain micronutrients can benefit cardiometabolic health, highlighting the importance of micronutrient diversity and the balance of benefits and risks.

Summary: The evidence supports early rehabilitation after stroke to limit disability, with a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise along with resveratrol showing promising results in mitigating cardiovascular and skeletal muscle deconditioning. However, there were no additive effects observed in these experiments, despite the potential benefits of early treatment for poststroke behavioral impairments.

Summary: The amount of physical activity practiced by people has been decreasing in recent decades, leading to higher risks of atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular events. Regular physical activity has beneficial effects on metabolism and can help prevent cardiovascular diseases. Several studies have found lower levels of plasma lipids in individuals who engage in exercise, but the exact mechanisms by which physical activity modulates lipoproteins are still not fully understood.

Summary: The number of falls among older adults is increasing due to global population aging. An integrated communication campaign utilizing mHealth encouraged older adults to exercise and reduce their risk of falling. The campaign was developed with expert interviews, qualitative interviews, and a baseline survey, and the evaluation showed a significant impact on older adults.

Summary: Research suggests that increased sugar consumption, high caloric intake, and lack of physical exercise are independently associated with COVID-19 mortality, with genetic factors potentially exacerbating the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle. A diet high in sugar combined with low physical activity may lead to elevated blood glucose levels, worsening glucose metabolism, and increasing the risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms.

Summary: Excessive epicardial adiposity is emerging as an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and reducing epicardial fat thickness is crucial for attenuating CVD risk in the setting of metabolic disease. Physical exercise can reduce epicardial fat and decrease CVD risk in conditions of metabolic disease.

Summary: During the pandemic, wearing masks is an effective non-pharmaceutical intervention to reduce the risk of infection. A new technique has been proposed to accurately and real-time detect non-mask faces in public spaces, using a combination of one-stage and two-stage detectors to achieve low inference time and high accuracy.
