Objectives: To estimate the pooled relative risk (RR) of incident acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among HIV-infected adults compared with HIV-uninfected controls and explore the contribution of traditional and HIV-related risk factors.
Background: Understanding AMI risk and associated risk factors in HIV-infected populations has the potential to inform clinical management and prevention strategies.
Methods: We systematically identified cohort studies of HIV-infected or HIV-infected and matched uninfected adults reporting AMI incidence rates published up to January 1, 2017.
Article Synopsis
- Previous research indicates that various dietary approaches can help control blood pressure, but their effectiveness relative to each other hasn't been clearly defined.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 24 trials involving nearly 24,000 participants found that dietary interventions resulted in average reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure of -3.07 mm Hg and -1.81 mm Hg, respectively.
- The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet was the most effective, significantly lowering blood pressure more than other diets, while variations in effectiveness were observed based on factors like study duration and participant demographics.
