Summary: A cross-sectional study found that warning signs policies mandating point-of-sale warnings about the risks of cannabis use during pregnancy did not reduce cannabis use during pregnancy. However, these policies were associated with increased support for punishment and stigma among those who did not use cannabis.

Summary: The study found that legalization of recreational marijuana had the greatest impact on current users, who are in an increasingly supportive environment, while attitude and intention scores did not significantly change between states after legalization.

Summary: This study aimed to explore whether the number of hours high can be used to measure marijuana use quantity in survey research. The results showed that within individuals, mode-specific marijuana use predicted the number of hours high on the same day and predicted negative consequences. Between individuals, the average number of hours high was positively associated with the likelihood of possible cannabis use disorder. Therefore, the number of hours high can serve as a parsimonious proxy for measuring marijuana use quantity in survey research.

Summary: This study aims to identify factors associated with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus in subjects with pre-diabetes diagnosed in primary care. The study is based on an observational, non-randomised prospective cohort design, with follow-up by general practitioners and collection of data. The results will be disseminated through various channels.

Summary: The prevalence and severity of cannabis use disorders (CUD) among primary care patients in a state with legal recreational use were examined. The study found that CUD was common among cannabis users, with higher rates observed among those who reported nonmedical use. These findings highlight the importance of assessing cannabis use and CUD symptoms in medical settings.

Summary: Insulin plays a crucial role in controlling blood glucose levels and protein synthesis, but abnormal levels can lead to diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Accurate measurement of insulin levels is essential for early diagnosis and treatment. Current detection methods are time-consuming and expensive, but biosensing technologies offer potential solutions.

Summary: This study examined the prevalence of prediabetes in elderly populations and found that the progression of prediabetes to diabetes is uncommon, while regression to normoglycemia or progression to death is more frequent.

Summary: The study found that trajectories of e-cigarette use during adolescence are influenced by factors such as age, age of onset, frequency, and escalation in use, with younger cohorts exhibiting more problematic trajectories. Primary prevention is crucial, interventions to prevent teen e-cigarette use must start early in middle school and continue throughout adolescence.

Summary: This study used a multiple biomarker model to investigate racial differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden. The results showed that accelerated aging, as measured by a combination of biomarkers, was associated with increased odds of CVD and all-cause mortality. The study also found race by sex differences, with Black men showing a stronger association with CVD compared to White men.

Summary: This study found a weak correlation between depressive symptoms and insulin resistance, which was observed in specific occasions but not in cross-lagged associations. The study also found differences in these relationships among different population groups, suggesting a potential association between insulin resistance and subsequent depressive symptoms among White participants later in adulthood.

Summary: This study assessed the association between specific subgroups of type 2 diabetes and mild cognitive impairment or probable dementia, as well as whether these subgroups modified the association between a lifestyle intervention program and cognitive impairment/dementia. The results showed that the prevalence of cognitive impairment/dementia varied across different diabetes subgroups, with the subgroup characterized by severe obesity having the highest risk.

Summary: The study found that the American Heart Association's cardiovascular health (CVH) score is closely associated with early-onset diabetes, later-onset diabetes, and subsequent complications of diabetes. Higher CVH score is associated with lower risk of both early- and later-onset diabetes, as well as diabetic complications. This study highlights the importance of maintaining good cardiovascular health in preventing diabetes and its complications.

Summary: The aim of this study was to quantify the contributions of various exposures in young adulthood to Black-White differences in incident obesity. The results showed that baseline exposures accounted for 43% of the obesity difference in women and 52% in men. The remaining differences may be explained by incomplete capture of key aspects of these exposures or potential variation in their impact on obesity by race.

Summary: This study found that higher early-adulthood cardiorespiratory fitness and greater retention of early-adulthood cardiorespiratory fitness throughout midlife were associated with a lower risk of premature death and CVD events.

Summary: This study found an association between cumulative BMI and incident prediabetes. Over the 30-year follow-up, approximately 46.2% of the sample developed prediabetes. After multivariable adjustment, the highest cBMI quartile had a hazard rate ratio of 2.064 compared to the lowest quartile. This suggests that prevention strategies for prediabetes in middle age may include avoiding overweight during young adulthood to limit disease duration.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between premenopausal cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and age at natural menopause (ANM) with changes in left ventricular (LV) structure parameters. The results indicated that premenopausal CVD risk factors may predispose women to elevated future CVD risk more than ovarian aging.
