“The exposome explained 17 percentage points more of the variation in mortality than genetic risk, which accounted for less than two percentage points. It was more strongly connected to lung, heart, and liver diseases, while genetic factors were more closely associated with certain cancers and dementias.”

“They also add to the growing evidence suggesting that microplastics influence human health. Scientists have found microplastics throughout the human body, including the sputum, lungs, heart, liver, blood, endometrium, testis, amniotic fluid, and placenta.”

“One of the mechanisms linking cardiovascular disease, obesity, and dementia is vascular dysfunction, which contributes to blood-brain barrier failure. Learn more about vascular dysfunction in this clip featuring Dr. Axel Montagne.”

“Physical activity is perhaps the most important lifestyle factor in the promotion of heart health because of the beneficial stress it puts on the heart.”

“High blood pressure increases a person's risk for heart disease and stroke and contributes to small vessel disease, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, dementia, and stroke. Read full publication.”

“Evidence suggests that exercise markedly improves the quality of life for those with the condition. A recent study found that different exercise training intensities have varied effects on symptoms of Parkinson's disease.”

“The investigators drew on data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study, an ongoing examination of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease in young adults living in the United States.”

“The study drew on data from several cohorts enrolled in the Framingham Heart Study, a long-term, ongoing study of cardiovascular disease risk among people living in Framingham, Massachusetts. More than 2,800 participants in the study were followed over a period of nearly 20 years.”

“One means of assessing cardiovascular health is the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8, which takes into account one's diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep, body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar. Maintaining high scores across these factors throughout young adulthood can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease later in life.”
