Objective: To characterize the prevalence of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-defined glucose abnormalities in a large, community-based population of very old adults (>75 years).
Research Design And Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 1,150 older adults with and without diabetes who attended the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (2021-2022). Diabetes was based on a self-reported diagnosis of diabetes by a health care provider, use of diabetes medication, or a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥6.
Introduction: Varicose veins are common in older adults and are associated with adverse clinical outcomes such as deep venous thrombosis. Established risk factors for varicose veins include female sex, height, and obesity, but other risk factors are relatively uncharacterized.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort analysis of 6241 participants aged 66-70 years from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.
Background: Orthostatic hypertension is an emerging risk factor for adverse events. Recent consensus statements combine an increase in blood pressure upon standing with standing hypertension, but whether these 2 components have similar risk associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unknown.
Methods: The ARIC study (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) measured supine and standing blood pressure during visit 1 (1987-1989).
Background: Asian individuals are among the highest immigrant group to the United States and at particularly high risk of gestational diabetes, which is associated with long-term maternal cardiovascular disease. Limited data are available on the association of prepregnancy cardiometabolic risk factors with gestational diabetes among Asian American subjects.
Objectives: This study sought to determine the association of prepregnancy hypertension and body mass index (BMI) among Asian ancestry subgroups and by maternal nativity.
