Mashup Score: 3South Asian, Black and White ethnicity and the effect of potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia: A study in English electronic health records - 7 month(s) ago
Introduction We aimed to investigate ethnic differences in the associations of potentially modifiable risk factors with dementia. Methods We used anonymised data from English electronic primary care records for adults aged 65 and older between 1997 and 2018. We used Cox regression to investigate main effects for each risk factor and interaction effects between each risk factor and ethnicity. Results We included 865,674 people with 8,479,973 person years of follow up. Hypertension, dyslipidaemia, obesity and diabetes were more common in people from minority ethnic groups than White people. The impact of hypertension, obesity, diabetes, low HDL and sleep disorders on dementia risk was increased in South Asian people compared to White people. The impact of hypertension was greater in Black compared to White people. Discussion Dementia prevention efforts should be targeted towards people from minority ethnic groups and tailored to risk factors of particular importance.

Mashup Score: 0For Your Eyes Only: 007 Tips for the Management of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis - 8 month(s) ago
Premature atherosclerosis has been observed during the course of different systemic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus, and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV).1-3 As a result, cardiovascular (CV) events, including myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, coronary artery disease, and death, occur 1.65 to 3 times more commonly in patients with AAV as compared to the general population, and the risk appears to be highest in the first year following diagnosis.3 After the first year, however, CV disease (CVD) remains the most important cause of death besides malignancy and infection. It has been demonstrated that traditional risk factors for CVD, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, age, and a family history of CVD, are highly prevalent in AAV. In this issue of The Journal of Rheumatology , Moiseev et al demonstrated that smoking and pulmonary involvement were also associated with an increa

Mashup Score: 1Risk Factors for Melanoma Among Individuals Living in Atlantic Regions - The ASCO Post - 8 month(s) ago
The incidence of melanoma has been rising globally. Although researchers have reported higher-than-average incidence rates of melanoma in some Atlantic regions, neighboring regions have demonstrated more average incidence rates of melanoma. In this study, the investigators compared the ultraviolet radiation exposure and protective behaviors of 7,861 participants based on their gender, income, and highest educational attainment. They found that individuals with a higher income had an increased risk of
