The 2nd recommends ≥2 days of resistance training (RT). Evidence supports a dose-response relation between RT volume and cardiometabolic health. We examined whether RT guidelines and volume were associated with lower all-cause mortality.

- The study analyzed how different levels of psychosocial stress impact the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) over time, using data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) involving over 6,300 adults.
- Researchers found five distinct subgroups of psychosocial stress based on self-reported data, with 'high discrimination' being linked to a significantly increased risk of CVD events, even after adjusting for other health factors.
- Social support, neighborhood cohesion, and physical activity did not significantly alter the relationship between psychosocial stress and CVD risk, indicating that high levels of discrimination and chronic stress are critical factors for cardiovascular health outcomes.
Sleep and circadian disturbances are common and are experienced more often by Black compared to White individuals. We conducted an observational study of sleep that was ancillary to an ongoing cohort study, Coronary Artery Disease in Young Adults (CARDIA). The goal of the ancillary study will be to examine potential determinants of sleep/circadian disparities between Black and White adults in future analyses.

- The study aimed to explore how sleep patterns in early midlife affect brain aging in late midlife using data from the CARDIA study.
- Researchers analyzed sleep data, focusing on factors like sleep duration and quality, and later assessed brain age through MRIs taken 15 years later.
- Results showed that individuals with more poor sleep characteristics had significantly older brain ages, emphasizing the need for sleep interventions to support brain health.*
