Abstract MP33: Inflammatory proteomic signatures of metabolically unhealthy obesity
Background: Obesity is a risk factor for CVD incidence and mortality. Accumulating evidence implicates viscerally located adiposity may be particularly relevant for the progression of card...
Abstract MP60: Associations between Chronic Stress, Resilience Factors and Cardiovascular Health among Young Adults in Puerto Rico
Introduction: The association between stress, resilience and cardiovascular health (CVH), as defined by the American Heart Association Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) metric, has not been well st...
Abstract P2105: Polygenic risk scores for obstructive sleep apnea relying separately on BMI- adjusted and -unadjusted genetic associations reveal separate pathways of cardiovascular disease risk
Background: OSA is a heterogeneous disease, with obesity a significant risk factor in many but not all cases of OSA, via increased airway collapsibility, reduced lung volumes, and possibly...
Abstract 077: Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Cardiovascular Health in Pregnant Women and Offspring Based on the Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Status
