TL;DR: In young and healthy subjects, CEC was associated with important lipid risk parameters at baseline, as in older patients and CAD patients, but inversely with early risk markers for subclinical atherosclerosis, indicating the interaction of preclinical parameters over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In pregnant women HRV and especially its very low frequency component increased in response to HUT, whereas at 3 months after parturition the direction of these changes was opposite.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the association between ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) score and the left ventricular mass during childhood, and found that the ideal CVH score has a longlasting effect on cardiac structure and function, and the association is evident already in childhood.

TL;DR: Individuals who gained weight across the life course were more likely to be Adv- 36 seropositive in adult life than those who did not gain weight, and analysis of change in weight status in relation to Adv-36 positivity did not support a causal role for Adv-37 in the development of obesity.

Both youth and long-term vitamin D status is associated with risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adulthood: a cohort study.
Feitong Wu,Markus Juonala,Niina Pitkänen,Antti Jula,Terho Lehtimäki,Matthew A. Sabin,Katja Pahkala,Nina Hutri-Kähönen,Mika Kähönen,Tomi Laitinen,Jorma Viikari,Costan G. Magnussen,Olli T. Raitakari +12 more
TL;DR: High serum 25OHD levels in youth and also mean values from youth to adulthood were associated with reduced risk of developing T2DM in adulthood, suggesting a potentially simple and cost-effective strategy for reducing adulthood risk of T2 DM starting in an earlier stage of life.
