Summary: China is experiencing rapid urbanization, and there are significant disparities in healthcare access between residents in old and new urban areas. This study aimed to compare cardiovascular disease prevention and death risks among four distinct urban groups. The findings showed that new-urban in situ residents had poorer adherence to a healthy diet and lower utilization of preventive medications, as well as higher cardiovascular mortality risks compared to old-urban in situ residents.

Summary: This study investigated sex-specific population attributable risk factors for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the Chinese general population. The findings revealed that suboptimal blood pressure and low educational attainment were the most significant risk factors associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. There were sex-related disparities in the associations between risk factors and mortality.

Summary: Elevated blood pressure is highly prevalent among stroke survivors in China, regardless of age, sex, and region. It contributes significantly to cardiovascular mortality in stroke survivors, particularly in young and middle-aged patients. National strategies are needed to address the burden of stroke related to elevated blood pressure in China.

Summary: Polyphenol intake was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in the Spanish adult population. Specifically, the intake of dihydroflavonols, flavonols, methoxyphenols, tyrosols, alkylmethoxyphenols, hydroxycinnamic acids, and hydroxyphenilacetic acids was associated with a decreased risk of mortality.

Summary: Gender-related socioeconomic inequality affects sex disparities in cardiovascular diseases prevention and outcomes. There are differences between genders in preventive measures and treatment, with women having better outcomes in hypertension awareness, control, and CVD mortality. The disparities show heterogeneity and are correlated with regional gender inequality index.

Summary: The study found that LDL-C levels >= 100 mg/dL in non-statin users and >= 130 mg/dL in statin users were associated with an increased risk of CVD. Even individuals with lower LDL-C levels had a significantly higher risk of CVD if their fasting plasma glucose levels were >= 110 mg/dL.

Summary: The study found that the coexistence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and sarcopenia (SP) increases the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Individuals with either disease need careful management to prevent the development of the other disease and reduce mortality.

Summary: Clinical trials have shown that reducing LDL-C can decrease cardiovascular events, and a study found that larger reductions in LDL-C and more intensive statin therapy after myocardial infarction were associated with lower risks of cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality.

Summary: This study examined the effects of calcium supplementation with or without vitamin D on all-cause and cause-specific mortalities in a large cohort. The results showed that calcium supplementation alone did not affect all-cause mortality, but the combination of calcium and vitamin D reduced the risk of all-cause mortality, especially cardiovascular disease-associated mortality.

Summary: The study revealed significant variability in the human gut mycobiome across populations, with urbanization-related factors having the strongest impact on gut mycobiome variation, followed by geography, dietary habits, and ethnicity. Different fungal species showed differences in abundance and correlations in urban and rural populations.

Summary: Personality disorders diagnosed in late adolescence are associated with increased risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, with external-related causes being evident earlier than cardiovascular-related causes. This highlights the importance of lifestyle education in youth.
