Systolic blood pressure time in target range (SBP TTR) is a novel metric for control. Previous studies have demonstrated an inverse association between SBP TTR and risks of cardiovascular events, but sex differences never been reported. This study aims to investigate the sex-specific relationship using data from Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT). post hoc analysis included 8822 SPRINT participants with at least three follow-up systolic (SBP) measurements within first months. was calculated Rosendaal method linear interpolation. The primary endpoint major adverse cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Cox proportional hazards models restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used assess events. Women accounted 35.3% mean age 68.6 ± 9.5 years, having higher body mass index (p = 0.007) lower compared men < 0.001). In overall population women, each standard deviation (SD) increase associated reduced risk MACCE (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.89; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.82-0.97; p 0.007, adjusted HR 0.85; CI 0.74-0.99; 0.039, respectively) acute decompensated heart failure 0.86; 0.73-0.99; 0.047, 0.68; 0.51-0.92; 0.011, respectively), while this not observed men.

Abstract Background Stroke due to large artery atherosclerosis (LAA-stroke) has a poor early prognosis despite appropriate medical treatment. Recently, various parameters reflecting pathological conditions such as insulin resistance or atherogenic dyslipidemia have been proposed using triglyceride (TG) and other biomarkers. In this study, we evaluated the association between TG andTG-related neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute LAA stroke. Methods We consecutive LAA-stroke January 2010 December 2020. TG-related were calculated following formulas: index of plasma (AIP) = log 10 (TG level/high-density lipoprotein level) TG-glucose (TyG) Ln level x glucose level/2).

Having gathered patients' medical history, demographic data, laboratory test results, results from Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (assessing diabetic peripheral neuropathy) and Ewing's battery examination (determining presence autonomic neuropathy), managed use ML approach occurrence overt CVD on basis five most discriminative predictors area under receiver operating characteristic curve 0.86 (95% CI 0.80-0.91). Those features included past or current foot ulceration, age, treatment beta-blocker (BB) angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi). On aforementioned parameters, unsupervised clustering identified different CV groups. The highest was determined eldest treated large extent ACEi but not BB having slightly younger individuals extensively both above-mentioned drugs, relatively small percentage ulceration.Using prospective DM, predicted risk. If patient BB, older has/had ulcer, this strongly predicts he/she at high CVD.

Background: The aging population and high rates of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) create significant medical burdens, prompting a need for early prevention. Targeting modifiable risk factors like vascular (VRFs), closely linked to AD, may provide promising strategy intervention. Objective: This study investigates how VRFs influence cognitive performance brain structures in community-based cohort. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 4,667 participants over 50 years old, drawn from the Beijing Ageing Brain Rejuvenation Initiative project, were meticulously examined.
