The prevalence of optimal cardiometabolic health among U.S. adults declined in the past 2 decades, and researchers found persistent disparities based on age, sex, education and race.
They observed the trend by utilizing the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, evaluating optimal levels of adiposity, blood glucose, blood lipids, BD and clinical CVD among over 55,000 adults. It was the top story in cardiology last week.
Another top story was about a study that showed the re-inhalation of carbon monoxide among smokers who wore masks for extended periods caused vascular dysfunction.
