Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a chronic disease with a serious prognosis, and obesity is a risk factor for CVD. Lipid accumulation product index (LAP) is a new indicator of obesity, waist circumference, and triglycerides were included in the formula, but its association with CVD is inconsistent. Therefore, this study researched the effect of LAP levels on CVD.

- Overweight and obesity are key factors in preventing cardiometabolic disease (CMD), but their long-term effects on CMD risk aren't well understood.
- A study involving 57,493 Chinese adults showed that patterns of body mass index (BMI) changes over time are linked to increased risks of CMD events like heart attacks and type 2 diabetes.
- The findings suggest that even individuals who no longer have high BMI but were previously overweight/obese face a higher CMD risk, highlighting the need for preventive measures in this population.
Background: The association between mean arterial pressure (MAP) trajectory in young adults and risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and all-cause mortality is not well-characterized. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different MAP trajectory on the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality among the young.
Methods: In the Kailuan cohort study, 19,171 participants aged 18-40 years were enrolled without CVD (including myocardial infarction, stroke, atrial fibrillation and heart failure).
Background: Recently, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has been proposed to replace non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to emphasize the pathogenic association between fatty liver disease and metabolic dysfunction. Studies have found that MAFLD independently increases the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. But the relationship between MAFLD and heart failure (HF) is not fully understood.

However, the optimal period for interventions to prevent overweight/obesity in adulthood remains unclear, and little is known regarding the joint effect of sociodemographic factors on weight gain. We aimed to investigate the associations of weight gain with sociodemographic factors, including age, sex, educational level, and income.
