Failure of industrial assets can cause financial, operational and safety hazards across different industries. Monitoring their condition is crucial for successful and smooth operations. The colossal volume of sensory data generated and acquired throughout industrial operations supports real-time condition monitoring of these assets.

Purpose: The association of dietary calcium with mortality is controversial.
To determine whether adiposity assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) compared to simple anthropometric assessments, are more predictive of abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), a risk factor for atherosclerosis. A cross-sectional study of 312 participants (60.3 % female) aged 70.

In the elderly abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) can increase CV risk by altering aortic properties which may raise blood pressure and increase cardiac workload. This study investigated the association between low muscle mass and AAC in community-dwelling older Australians.

Objective: This study explored the associations between baseline and long-term changes in ω-3 FA consumption and AAC severity among community-dwelling older men and women.
Methods: The present study used a subset of the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study in which participants were interviewed in 1990-1994 and again in 2010-2011.
The aim of this population-based, prospective cohort study was to investigate long-term associations between dietary calcium intake and fractures, non-fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD), and death from all causes. Participants were from the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study, which was established in 1990 to 1994. A total of 41,514 men and women (∼99% aged 40 to 69 years at baseline) were followed up for a mean (SD) of 12 (1.
