Summary: This study found that genetics and psychosocial factors are independently associated with cardiovascular disease. Variations in observations across age groups underscore the importance of researching multiscale risk factors operating both at specific time points and over the life course.

Summary: The study found that depressive/fatigue symptoms and social support are significantly associated with the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) but not coronary heart disease (CHD) or stroke. These results support the importance of depressive/fatigue symptoms in vascular health and suggest the need to include PAD when studying the impact of psychosocial factors on CVD.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) and identify the proportion mediated by established CVD risk factors. The results showed that women with HDP during their first pregnancy had a higher risk of CVD, which was mainly mediated by established CVD risk factors.

Summary: The study found heterogeneity in cardiovascular disease risk factors among Latino immigrant subgroups. Mexican immigrants had the highest prevalence of overweight/obesity, Puerto Rican individuals had the highest prevalence of diabetes, individuals from Central America had the highest prevalence of high cholesterol, and individuals from the Dominican Republic had the highest prevalence of physical inactivity. All Latino immigrant subgroups were less likely to be smokers than White adults. The study suggests the need for specific measures to improve cardiovascular health among Latino immigrant groups.

Summary: This study investigated the association between nontraditional factors and pregnancy-related cardiovascular disease (pCVD), and found that women veterans with pCVD were more likely to have depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic stress. Racial disparities were also found, with higher rates of prepregnancy hypertension among black women compared to white women.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between serum creatinine levels and traditional cardiovascular risk factors and 10-year cardiovascular risk in hypertensive population in Jiangsu Province, China. The results showed that serum creatinine levels were associated with overweight and obesity, physical activity, and 10-year cardiovascular risk. Therefore, reducing creatinine levels and protecting the kidneys are essential for optimizing cardiovascular risk control in hypertensive patients.

Summary: This study used electronic health records data from Catalonia and found significant inequalities in cardiovascular diseases and risk factors between men and women. Individuals with very low income had 2 to 3 times higher prevalence rates compared to those with high income, and these inequalities peaked in midlife and gradually decreased with age for smoking. These findings emphasize the need for strong policies to reduce disparities in cardiovascular diseases.

Summary: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Spain, mainly due to the lack of control of cardiovascular risk factors. The prevalence of these risk factors varies across different autonomous regions in Spain, with high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, overweight, and obesity being the most common.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate and quantify the associations and population attributable fraction (PAF) of cardiometabolic risk factors on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality, and calculate the loss of CVD-free years and years of life lost in relation to the presence of cardiometabolic risk factors.

Summary: Chronic psychological distress is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and inflammatory factors may play a crucial role in this association. This study found that a metabolite profile linked with distress was associated with increased risk of CVD and inflammation-related risk factors.
