Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Maria de Jesus Fonseca"
- Maria de Jesus Fonseca's research primarily focuses on the relationships between various health indicators, such as adiposity, insulin resistance, and cognitive function, as well as their implications for chronic diseases, including kidney disease and cardiovascular conditions.
- Recent findings establish a significant association between adiposity indexes and the risk of chronic kidney disease, emphasizing the importance of managing weight to mitigate health risks in the Brazilian population.
- Additionally, Fonseca's work highlights that traditional cardiovascular risk factors, rather than HIV infection, are the main determinants of aortic stiffness, thereby directing attention to modifiable lifestyle factors in improving cardiovascular health.
