Abstract WE537: The Effect of Different Doses of Resistance Exercise on Changes in Monthly Blood Pressure
Background: Although the dose-response relationship between aerobic exercise (AE) and blood pressure has been well studied, the dose-response relationship of resistance exercise (R...
Abstract TH817: Development of a new diabetes classification algorithm for epidemiological studies: The Jackson Heart Study
Objective: In epidemiologic studies, diabetes classification is typically based on lab measures (i.e., hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting or non-fasting glucose, 2-hour post-prandial...
Abstract WE545: Association between Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Future Multimorbidity Patterns: A K-means Clustering Analysis
Introduction: Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of multiple chronic diseases, is associated with increased mortality and reduced quality of life. While cardiometabolic risk factors...
Abstract WE438: Life’s Essential 8 and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Postmenopausal Women
Background: The American Heart Association’s (AHA) Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) identifies essential metrics for cardiovascular disease prevention and includes blood glucose, blood lip...
Abstract 37: Associations of Prenatal Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Exposures and Childhood Blood Pressure in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort
Background: PFAS are widespread, persistent chemicals that cross the placenta and may affect fetal development. Animal studies suggest prenatal PFAS exposure increases offspring bl...
Abstract 56: Effect of Expanded Child Tax Credit Advance Payments on Population Gestational Diabetes Rates: A Quasi-Experimental Analysis
Background: The temporary expansion of the federal Child Tax Credit (CTC) under the American Rescue Plan provided monthly advance payments to eligible families with children betwee...
Abstract WE442: Disparities in Use of Cardioprotective GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and SGLT2 Inhibitors Among Insured Adults with Type 2 Diabetes at High Cardiovascular Risk
Introduction: Despite evidence from clinical trials showing the cardiovascular benefits of select GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes mell...
Abstract 74: Resistance Training Lowers Blood Pressure in Older Adults with Low Muscle Strength: Findings from the INERTIA Study
Background: Hypertension and chronic low muscle strength—the primary indicator of sarcopenia—commonly co-occur in older adults and significantly contribute to CVD risk. While resis...
Abstract WE557: Estimated Dietary and Health Impact of Implementing a Comprehensive Packaged Food Policy in Ethiopia
Introduction: Consumption of packaged foods and beverages high in sodium, sugar, and saturated fat is increasing in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian government is considering a comprehensiv...
Abstract 73: Moderate to vigorous physical activity, genetic susceptibility, and risk of aortic aneurysm: a prospective cohort study
Background and Aims: The benefits of physical activity against atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease are well established, but their role in reducing the risk of aortic aneurysm (...
Abstract WE418: Incidentally Detected Coronary Calcium and the Burden and Severity of Cardiovascular-Kidney Metabolic Risk Factors
Introduction: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) incidentally found on non-EKG-gated cardiac chest CT scans identifies individuals at elevated ASCVD risk, providing an opportunity for i...
