TL;DR: It is found that the methionine synthase D919G polymorphism is significantly associated with homocysteine concentration, and the DD genotype contributes to a moderate increase in homocy Steine levels across the homocy steine distribution, and this polymorphism may, therefore, make a moderate, but significant, contribution to clinical conditions that are associated with elevated homocystine.

TL;DR: Food omega-3 PFA intake related inversely to blood pressure, including in nonhypertensive persons, with small estimated effect size, may contribute to prevention and control of adverse blood pressure levels.

TL;DR: Plasma triglyceride concentration predicts major ischaemic events after allowance is made for total and HDL cholesterol concentrations and other risk factors, and in these populations, triglyceride is a more important predictor than total cholesterol concentration.

TL;DR: Adequate control of pulse pressure and heart rate, as well as reducing inflammation, may, in the long-term, retard aortic stiffening, although this remains to be tested directly.

TL;DR: The main contributor to the increase in total count in the men who developed disease was the neutrophil count, and there was also a statistically significant increase in the eosinophil count.
