Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to measure the prevalence of unruptured cerebral aneurysms (UCAs) using advanced imaging techniques in adults aged 35 to 75 in Shanghai, China.
  • A total of 4,813 participants were examined, revealing a 7.0% overall prevalence of UCAs, with higher rates found in women (8.4%) compared to men (5.5%).
  • The majority of UCAs were located in the internal carotid artery and were typically small, with a diameter of less than 5 mm, peaking in prevalence for both sexes at ages 55 to 64.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to determine if a waist circumference (WC) of 85 cm or more is linked to early signs of atherosclerosis in women from Shanghai, China.
  • - Researchers analyzed data from 2,365 females, finding that those who were overweight or had a WC ≥85 cm showed higher carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT), an indicator of atherosclerosis.
  • - The results suggest that a larger waist circumference, particularly if it reaches or exceeds 85 cm, is a significant risk factor for developing preclinical atherosclerosis in this population.
