Aims: To investigate the impact of peroxisome proliferator-activator receptor delta (PPARD) gene polymorphism and additional gene-smoking interaction on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk based on this Chinese population.
Methods: A total of 1048 subjects (617 males, 431 females) with a mean age of 52.9 ± 14.1 years old were selected, including 520 CVD patients and 528 normal control subjects. The logistic regression model was used to examine the association between three SNPs and CVD risk, odds ratio (OR), and 95% confident interval (95%CI) were calculated. Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) was employed to investigate the gene-smoking interaction.
Results: Genotypes of variants in rs2016520 and rs9794 were associated with decreased CVD risk, and CVD risk was significantly lower in carriers of C allele of the rs2016520 polymorphism than those with the TT genotype (TC+CC versus TT), adjusted OR (95%CI) = 0.71 (0.56-0.86). In addition, we also found that CVD risk was also significantly lower in carriers of the G allele of the rs9794 polymorphism than those with the CC genotype (CG+ GG versus CC), adjusted OR (95%CI) = 0.69 (0.53-0.86). GMDR analysis suggested a potential gene-environment interaction between rs2016520 and smoking. Overall, the two-locus models had a cross-validation consistency of 10 of 10, and had the testing accuracy of 62.17%, and never smokers with TC or CC of the rs2016520 genotype have the lowest CVD risk, compared to smokers with TT of rs2016520, OR (95%CI) was 0.42 (0.23-0.66).
Conclusions: The minor allele of rs2016520 and rs9794 in PPAR-δ and interaction between rs2016520 and non-smoking were associated with decreased risk of CVD.

Objectives: In observational studies, older adults with low serum vitamin D levels are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but randomized trials have failed to demonstrate reduction in CVD risk from vitamin D supplementation, possibly because the doses of vitamin D supplements tested were too low. Our objective was to determine if higher doses of vitamin D supplementation reduce high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTnI) and N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), markers of subclinical CVD.
Methods: The Study to Understand Fall Reduction and Vitamin D in You (STURDY) was a double-blind, randomized, response-adaptive trial that tested the effects of 4 doses of vitamin D3 supplementation (200, 1000, 2000, 4000 IU/day) on fall risk among older adults with low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations (10-29 ng/mL).

Background And Purpose: To evaluate the association between sleep-related factors, including sleep duration, self-reported sleep disturbances, and diagnosed sleep disorders, and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in US participants.
Methods: The data of this study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2007 and 2014. Sleep factors were assessed using a standardized questionnaire, and overall sleep scores were calculated on a scale of 0 to 3.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among noncommunicable diseases. Over the past decade, there has been a notable increase in the prevalence of CVDs among young individuals. Obesity, a well-known risk factor for CVDs, is also associated with various comorbidities that may contribute to cardiovascular risk.

Background And Aim: This study aims to investigate the role of the built environment in terms of urban-rural disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) epidemiology, focusing on middle- and long-term CVD risk assessment. Moreover, this study seeks to explore sex-specific differences in urban and rural settings.
Methods: The ATTICA Study is a prospective study conducted from 2002 onwards.
Background: Polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFCs) present potential health risks due to their persistence and bioaccumulation. However, there is currently insufficient evidence regarding their impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD). Consequently, it is imperative to investigate the correlation between PFCs and CVD.
