Objectives: To explore if risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) for participants who moved before their first CVD event is higher than for stayers, and examine whether the relationship is moderated by ethnicity.
Methods: The sample comprised 2,068,360 New Zealand residents enrolled in any Primary Health Organisation, aged between 30 and 84 years, had complete demographic information, and no prior history of CVD. Cox proportional regression was used to compare CVD risk between movers and stayers. The analysis was conducted for the whole sample and stratified by ethnicity.
Results: The combined analysis suggested that movers have a lower risk of CVD than stayers. This is consistent for all ethnic groups with some variation according to experience of deprivation change following residential mobility.
Conclusions: Although mobile groups may have a higher risk of CVD than immobile groups overall, risk of CVD in the period following a residential mobility event is lower than for stayers. Results are indicative of a short-term healthy migrant effect comparable to that observed for international migrants.

Background: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprising 85% of cases. Due to the lack of early clinical signs, metastasis often occurs before diagnosis, impacting treatment and prognosis. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common comorbidity in lung cancer patients, with shared risk factors exacerbating outcomes.

Background: Cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a comprehensive clinical parameter which integrates overweight and abnormal lipid metabolism. However, its relationship with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer mortality is still obscure. Thus, a large-scale cohort study was conducted to illustrate the causal relation between CMI and CVD, cancer, and all-cause mortality among the common American population.

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) are both predictors of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, their combined and individual contributions to CVD risk are not well understood. This study evaluate the joint and individual associations of the TyG index and AIP with CVD events in middle-aged and older Chinese adults.

Coronary artery disease represents a formidable health threat to middle-aged and elderly populations worldwide. This research introduces an advanced BP neural network algorithm, EPSOSA-BP, which integrates particle swarm optimization, simulated annealing, and a particle elimination mechanism to elevate the precision of heart disease prediction models. To address prior limitations in feature selection, the study employs single-hot encoding and Principal Component Analysis, thereby enhancing the model's feature learning capability.
