Abstract TU268: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Positively Correlated with hs-CRP and Not With Other Key Inflammatory Markers
Intro: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), classified by apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 3% or 4% desaturation, has been associated with elevated hs-CRP levels, but little is known about...
Abstract MPTH55: Maximum and visit-to-visit variability in blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease stratified by antihypertensive treatment: EPOCH-JAPAN (Evidence for Cardiovascular Prevention From Observational Cohorts in Japan)
Introduction: Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Blood pressure (BP) indices, such as maximum and visit-to-visit variability (VVV) in BP, have been rep...
Abstract WE527: Accelerometer-Measured Physical Activity Improves Predictive Validity of Fried Frailty Phenotype for All-Cause and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality: UK Biobank
Introduction: Fried Frailty Phenotype (FFP) is a widely used frailty measure defined by five criteria: unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, slowness, weakness, and low physical a...
Abstract MPTU24: Associations between Dietary and Circulating B-Vitamins and Incident Stroke: Evidence from Two Large Prospective US Cohorts

Abstract WE533: Is occupational physical activity associated with cardiovascular health? Examining the physical activity paradox in Nepalese adults with high blood pressure.
Most of the evidence supporting the health benefits of physical activity (PA) is from activity performed during recreation. The PA paradox is a known phenomenon where individuals with high levels of P...
Abstract 63: A Proof of Concept of Trustworthy Social Media Health Influencers: a Collaboration with the American Heart Association to Promote Cardiovascular Health among Hispanics and Latinos
Objective: Trustworthy influencers may promote health content on social media. As no definition of such influencers exists, we aimed to identify their attributes to pilot and evalu...
