Background And Aims: Environmental and genetic factors predispose to cardiovascular disease. Some first-generation immigrants have a higher cardiovascular risk in Sweden, while less is known about second-generation immigrants. We aimed to analyze the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among second-generation immigrants in Sweden.

Objectives: There is a relationship between insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) has been reported as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance. This study aimed to investigate the association between eGDR and the incident MASLD, and compare the ability to predict incident MASLD with other insulin resistance markers.
Methods: Retrospective cohort data from a health check-up program were analyzed.

Background: Hypertension is one of the most common diseases in the world, impacting global life expectancy and associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment.
Objective: This study aimed to develop a nomogram that accurately predicts the risk of cognitive impairment in hypertensive patients using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study (NHANES).
Methods: A total of 1517 hypertensive patients from NHANES 2011-2014 were included in this study.

Background And Aims: Several systemic autoimmune diseases predispose to the enhancement of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD). These findings underline the role of inflammation in atherogenesis. Dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) are polygenic autoimmune disorders involving mainly skeletal muscles.
