TL;DR: In this paper, a genetic risk score (GRS) composed of 13 SNPs associated with myocardial infarction or other manifestations of coronary heart disease (CHD) and 102 genetic variants associated with CHD or its major risk factors was used for predicting risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Central Auditory Dysfunction May Precede the Onset of Clinical Dementia in People with Probable Alzheimer's Disease
TL;DR: To document the prognostic significance of a central auditory speech‐processing deficit for the subsequent onset of probable Alzheimer's disease, a large number of patients with confirmed or suspected cases of the disease were diagnosed with at least some forms of dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin resistance and adiposity influence lipoprotein size and subclass concentrations. Results from the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study
TL;DR: The dyslipidemia associated with insulin resistance and obesity includes effects on lipop protein metabolism that are missed when traditional lipoprotein cholesterol and total TG are examined.
