Aim: To assess the frequency of risk factors (RF), total cardiovascular risk (CHR) and their association with the level of education in young and middle-aged people.

Methods: Persons aged 25-59 (40.4 ± 9.2) years old took part in a one-stage comparative study; an anamnesis was taken, a physical examination was carried out, risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular risk were assessed according to the Systematic Coronary Risk Estimation scale in persons aged 40 years and older, according to the relative risk scale - under the age of 40, laboratory parameters.

Results: Hypercholesterolemia was present in 6.1%, hyperglycemia - in 4%, obesity - in 2.5%, one risk factor - in 25.5%, 3 or more risk factors - in 30.7% of patients, the maximum number of risk factors - in men. Moderate CVR was present in 58.4%, very high - in 3.7%, low - in 31.8% of cases. Low CV risk: prevalence in women with higher education (p = 0.034), compared with women with secondary education, which was not observed in the group of men (p = 0.109). Men smoked more. Persons with higher education quit smoking 4 times more often than persons with secondary education (p = 0.001; OR = 3.98), persons with secondary education smoked 2.74 times more often (p = 0.001, OR = 2.74), than higher education. Overweight was detected in 47%: in females (p < 0.001) and males (p = 0.003), its occurrence was less common in the group with higher education. AH was present in 8.3% of patients, and the level of its control was better in those with higher education than those with secondary education (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The gender conditionality of low CVR and unidirectional trends in attitudes towards smoking in connection with the level of education were established. Purposeful consideration of the level of education, age, gender, increases the identification of risk groups for the formation of multimorbidity and high cardiovascular risk in the future.

Introduction: Excision and primary anastomosis (EPA) urethroplasty is the standard treatment for traumatic urethral strictures, but managing them remains challenging for urologists. Identifying factors leading to EPA urethroplasty failure benefits both patients and surgeons. This study aims to analyze risk factors for urethral stricture recurrence after one-year follow-up of EPA urethroplasty.

Dynamic Importance of Genomic and Clinical Risk for Coronary Artery Disease Over the Life Course.

Circ Genom Precis Med

January 2025

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston. (S.M.U., K.P., B.T., A.C.F., P.N.).

Background: Earlier identification of high coronary artery disease (CAD) risk individuals may enable more effective prevention strategies. However, existing 10-year risk frameworks are ineffective at earlier identification. We sought to understand how the variable importance of genomic and clinical factors across life stages may significantly improve lifelong CAD event prediction.

Background: Females with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy present at a more advanced stage of the disease and have a higher risk of heart failure and death. The factors behind these differences are unclear. We aimed to investigate sex-related differences in clinical and genetic factors affecting adverse outcomes in the Sarcomeric Human Cardiomyopathy Registry.

: Individuals impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are at greater risk of developing obesity, however, few studies have prospectively measured ACEs and obesity during childhood. Associations with the adoption of obesogenic behaviours during childhood, which directly contribute to obesity are also understudied.: To examine associations between individual and cumulative ACEs, obesity, and obesogenic behaviours during childhood.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a known complication during the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). It has the potential to alter the growth of the head or acetabulum and prevent the best outcomes. While past literature has evaluated the risks of AVN and strategies to avoid it, studies on the impact of AVN on the outcomes are scarce.
