Associations between fatherhood and cardiovascular health (CVH), disease (CVD), and mortality.

Study reveals fatherhood may increase heart health risks but lower mortality rates, emphasizing the need for focused health interventions for fathers.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among men, and being a father may put men at an even greater risk of poor heart health later in life, reports a new study. The study of 2,814 men between the ages of 45 and 84 found cardiovascular health in older age was worse for fathers compared to non-fathers. Study participants heart health was rated based on their diet, physical activity, smoking habits, weight, blood pressure, and level of lipids and glucose in their blood.

A first-of-its-kind report finds cardiovascular health tended to be worse for fathers compared to men without kids.

Fathers have worse cardiovascular health than men without kids, according to a new study that analyzed data from 2,814 men.

Removing race from equations that estimate lung function will shift the categorization of disease severity across patient populations, moving more Black individuals into an advanced disease category, according to new research led by scientists at Harvard Medical School.

Removing race from equations that estimate lung function will shift the categorization of disease severity across patient populations, moving more Black individuals into an advanced disease category, according to new research led by scientists at Harvard Medical School. At the same time, more white and Hispanic people would be reclassified as having less advanced illnesses.

A new universal risk prediction model can identify individuals without ASCVD who face a CV risk equivalent to or greater than that of people with ASCVD.

People with heart disease may receive different care because of how race is interpreted in health risk calculators and other tools that help clinicians make treatment decisions.
