Adults
New research has shed light on the link between malnutrition, obesity, and mortality risk in community-dwelling adults. A cross-sectional study examining the association between malnutrition and obesity, as measured by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and body mass index (BMI), found that malnutrition increases mortality risk regardless of weight

Cardiovascular diseases
Recent research conducted by a team of investigators at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine has shed light on the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The study, published in the journal Sleep Medicine, found a significant independent association between sleep apnea-specific hypoxic
Atherosclerosis
Research from Bahcesehir University, published in Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, has found no correlation between epicardial adiposity and mortality or major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. The study, which evaluated 138 STEMI patients, found significant differences in age, weight, body mass
Cardiovascular diseases
Research conducted at the Biomedical Research and Training Institute in Harare, Zimbabwe, has shed light on the cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden among young people living with HIV. The study, published in Current Atherosclerosis Reports, synthesizes current evidence on the CVD burden in this population and highlights critical gaps in understanding
Antiretroviral agents
Current study results indicate that HIV/AIDS patients are disproportionately affected by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) despite effective viral load suppression with antiretroviral therapy (ART). The mechanisms underlying this relationship are complex and incompletely understood, involving a interplay of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, chronic inflammation, and metabolic side effects of ART.
Cardiovascular diseases
Researchers have found that people living with HIV (PLHIV) are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to the presence of HIV infection. This increased risk is attributed to higher levels of inflammation and immune activation associated with the virus. A recent study published in PeerJ has

Type 2 diabetes
A new study has found that combining healthy lifestyle habits with GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) medications significantly lowers the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in people with Type 2 diabetes. The study, which included over 63,000 military veterans with Type 2 diabetes, found that those who adhered
