High-density lipoprotein cholesterol efflux function may prevent brain amyloid beta deposition and neurodegeneration. However, the relevance of this finding has not been established in the diverse middle-aged population. We examined 1826 adults (47% Black adults) who participated in the Dallas Heart Study to determine associations between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) measures and brain structure and function.

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of modifiable lifestyle risk factors on postoperative medical and surgical complications following a total joint arthroplasty (TJA) in a large national healthcare system.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of a large national health system database was performed to identify patients who underwent TJA between 2017 and 2021.
Background: Compared to normal high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol values, very high HDL cholesterol is associated with a higher incidence of mortality and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). As such, clinical risk stratification among persons with very high HDL cholesterol is challenging.
Objectives: Among persons with very high HDL cholesterol, the purpose was to determine the prevalence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) and compare the association between traditional risk factors vs CAC for all-cause mortality and ASCVD.
