Age-specific relevance of usual blood pressure to vascular mortality: a meta-analysis of individual data for one million adults in 61 prospective studies.

Sarah Lewington, +4 more
- 14 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: Throughout middle and old age, usual blood pressure is strongly and directly related to vascular (and overall) mortality, without any evidence of a threshold down to at least 115/75 mm Hg.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Theo Vos, +2419 more
- 17 Oct 2020 - 
TL;DR: Global health has steadily improved over the past 30 years as measured by age-standardised DALY rates, and there has been a marked shift towards a greater proportion of burden due to YLDs from non-communicable diseases and injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Body-mass index and cause-specific mortality in 900 000 adults: collaborative analyses of 57 prospective studies

Gary Whitlock, +8 more
- 28 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: Below the range 22.5-25 kg/m(2), BMI was associated inversely with overall mortality, mainly because of strong inverse associations with respiratory disease and lung cancer, despite cigarette consumption per smoker varying little with BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetes mellitus, fasting blood glucose concentration, and risk of vascular disease: a collaborative meta-analysis of 102 prospective studies

Nadeem Sarwar, +17 more
- 26 Jun 2010 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of individual records of diabetes, fasting blood glucose concentration, and other risk factors in people without initial vascular disease from studies in the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration found diabetes confers about a two-fold excess risk for a wide range of vascular diseases, independently from other conventional risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Major lipids, apolipoproteins, and risk of vascular disease

E Di Angelantonio, +12 more
- 11 Nov 2009 - 
TL;DR: Lid assessment in vascular disease can be simplified by measurement of either total and HDL cholesterol levels or apolipoproteins without the need to fast and without regard to triglyceride.
