In the years 1987-1989 111 patients of SSPE who react positively to laboratory tests were found in Poland. The incidence rate of the disease was in 1987-1.30; in 1980-0.98 and in 1989-0.66 per million inhabitants (in the years 1984-1986 the incidence of SSPE was respectively 1.22; 1.05 and 0.9 per million). The authors observed a shift in the incidence peak of SSPE from the age group 8-9 years in 1977-1983 and 10-12 years in 1984-1986 to the age group 13-14 years in 1987-1989. Among 111 SSPE cases only 6 children (5.4) had been vaccinated against measles while the coverage of measles vaccination in Poland reached over 95%.

Background: Discovering metabolomic markers of dietary potassium may help improve dietary assessment of potassium and trace the impact of dietary potassium on chronic kidney disease (CKD) development.
Methods: We included adults from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study without CKD at visit 1 (N = 3,812). Cross-sectional associations between dietary potassium and serum metabolites were assessed using multivariable linear regression models.

Background: The immune response to infections may become dysregulated and promote myocardial damage contributing to heart failure (HF). We examined the relationship between infection-related hospitalization (IRH) and HF, HF with preserved ejection fraction, and HF with reduced ejection fraction.
Methods And Results: We studied 14 468 adults aged 45 to 64 years in the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) Study who were HF free at visit 1 (1987-1989).

Background: The association between blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels and incident heart failure (HF) in the general population is still unclear.
Methods And Results: We assessed the association of BUN level with incident HF in 14,167 ARIC participants without a history of HF at baseline (1987-1989) (mean age 54.1 years, 54.

Background: The relationship between serial changes in physical activity and the risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) has been rarely studied.
Objectives: To evaluate the association between changes in physical activity over time and the incidence of AF.
Methods: A total of 11,828 participants without AF at baseline (visit 1: 1987-1989) from the ARIC Study were included.

Background: Orthostatic hypertension is an emerging risk factor for adverse events. Recent consensus statements combine an increase in blood pressure upon standing with standing hypertension, but whether these 2 components have similar risk associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unknown.
Methods: The ARIC study (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) measured supine and standing blood pressure during visit 1 (1987-1989).
