Abstract WE512: The Importance of Specific Guidance on Trans-fat Elimination in a Healthy Food Procurement Policy: An Evaluation from Schools in Nepal
Background: 540,000 deaths per year are attributed to industrially produced trans-fatty acids. Trans-fat has no known health benefits and is a major dietary risk factor for cardiov...
Abstract WE439: The generalizability of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension for Diabetes (DASH4D) Diet
Background: We recently showed that a DASH-style diet optimized for diabetes (DASH4D diet) significantly reduced blood pressure and improved glycemic control in a randomized trial...
Abstract MPTU07: Patterns of one-year change in HbA1c and Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Metrics in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
Background: There is growing interest and use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology as an adjunct or substitute for HbA1c in assessing glycemic control. However, how ch...
Abstract TH985: Optimal Dietary Patterns for Improving Health-Related Quality of Life during the Menopausal Transition: Two Large Prospective United States Cohort Studies
Background: In aging societies, improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is vital, as it not only predicts cardiovascular disease and mortality but also reflects overall we...
Abstract TH902: Joint Impact of Social Determinants of Health Burden and Coronary Artery Disease on All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality: 18-Year Follow-up From National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey 2000–2018
Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States, yet the benefits of modern cardiovascular care are not equitably distributed. Soci...
Abstract TU161: Raised Blood Pressure and its Awareness and Control Surveillance in Adults: Italian Health Examination Survey 2023-2025 - CUORE Project
Introduction: Heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, dementia and blindness risk are significantly increased by raised blood pressure (RBP). The WHO recommends a 25% relative reduct...
Abstract TU267: Cardiovascular Health Scores in Patients with Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Objective: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and obstructive sleep apnea are associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) disease risk. Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) is the American Hea...
Abstract TH905: Social Drivers of Health Screening and In-Hospital Outcomes for Cardiovascular Patients in Oregon
Background: Social drivers of health (SDOH) are tied to cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence, disease progression, and outcomes. Federal requirements mandate SDOH screening in i...
