Trends in mortality from pneumonia in the Europe union: a temporal analysis of the European detailed mortality database between 2001 and 2014

TL;DR: Mortality from pneumonia is improving in most EU countries, however substantial variation in trends remains between countries and between genders, as well as in gender mortality differences.

Burden of valvular heart disease, 1990-2017: Results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.

TL;DR: The burden from different VHDs demonstrated a diverse change at a global level between 1990 and 2017, and a substantially high incidence of NRVHD was observed over this time period, which may lead to high health care costs and signify the potential for even higher costs in the future.

Liver fibrosis marker is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the general population.

TL;DR: A simple fibrosis score is independently associated with CVD, suggesting that fibrosis markers should be considered in primary-care risk assessment.

Association of predicted lean body mass and fat mass with cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: In patients with T2DM, it was found that predicted fat mass had a strong positive association with a higher risk of a major adverse cardiovascular event, and increasing lean body mass did not have a protective role.

Improving the trustworthiness of findings from nutrition evidence syntheses: assessing risk of bias and rating the certainty of evidence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the importance of applying risk of bias (RoB) assessments in nutritional studies to improve the credibility of evidence of systematic reviews, and compare the GRADE approach with current approaches used by United States Department of Agriculture Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and the World Cancer Research Fund, how to establish trust in dietary recommendations.

Health Effects of Overweight and Obesity in 195 Countries over 25 Years.

Ashkan Afshin, +167 more
TL;DR: The rapid increase in the prevalence and disease burden of elevated BMI highlights the need for continued focus on surveillance of BMI and identification, implementation, and evaluation of evidence‐based interventions to address this problem.

The global obesity pandemic: shaped by global drivers and local environments

TL;DR: Unlike other major causes of preventable death and disability, such as tobacco use, injuries, and infectious diseases, there are no exemplar populations in which the obesity epidemic has been reversed by public health measures, which increases the urgency for evidence-creating policy action, with a priority on reduction of the supply-side drivers.
