Recent developments of interest in cardiovascular medicine

We reviewed data on the American diet from 1800 to 2019. Methods We examined food availability and estimated consumption data from 1808-2019 using historical sources from the federal government and additional public data sources. Results Processed and ultra-processed foods increased from 60% of foods. Large increases occurred for sugar, white and whole wheat flour, rice, poultry, eggs, and vegetable oils, dairy products, and fresh vegetables. Saturated fats from animal sources declined while polyunsaturated fats from vegetable oils rose. Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) rose over the 20th centu...

by Tyler Durden Wednesday, Jul 14, 2021 - 10:50 PM Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Buck Institute for Research have developed a method for predicting how strong your immune system is, how soon you'll become frail, and whether a person has undiscovered cardiovascular problems that could lead to serious illness down the road. " [N]ot all humans age biologically at the same rate. You see this in the clinic — some older people are extremely disease-prone, while others are the picture of health," said senior author David Furman, PhD, who runs Stanford's 1000 Imm...

Inflammatory aging clock predicts immunological decline, frailty and age-associated diseases You're as old as your immune system. Investigators at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging have built an inflammatory-aging clock that's more accurate than the number of candles on your birthday cake in predicting how strong your immune system is, how soon you'll become frail or whether you have unseen cardiovascular problems that could become clinical headaches a few years down the road. In the process, the scientists fingered a bloodborne substance ...
