Motivational Interviewing Group to Address Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors
… group treatment manual for adults diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, who were displaying adverse health behaviors that were modifiable by lifestyle change. In order to create the manual, an extensive literature review was conducted in the areas of the prevalence of chronic illness in the …

The Associations Between Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Cognitive Function
Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) are known to contribute to vascular cognitive impairment and dementia in later life. Their modifiability provides a promising avenue for reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. This thesis summarizes the associations the current literature identifies …

Depressive Symptoms in Women Being Screened for Cardiovascular Disease Risk
… Depressive symptomology is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Over 15% of persons with cardiovascular disease have depressive symptoms, and women are twice as likely to experience these symptoms as men. Depressive symptoms in women “ at risk ” for …

Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Postmenopausal Women
<p>In spite of the reductions in cardiovascular disease mortality over the last several years, cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of death in the U.S. Prior to menopause, women have approximately 2.5-4.5 times lower risk of cardiovascular disease than do men of a similar age. …

Does military combat-related traumatic injury increase cardiovascular disease risk?
… injury (CRTI) is associated with an increased cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) risk. However, data from a contemporary military population with CRTI is lacking. Hypotheses: The main hypotheses addressed in this thesis are: 1. Military servicemen who have had suffered severe CRTI with limb …

Cardiovascular disease risk prediction models: does one-score-fit-all?
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death globally and is a major contributor to the global burden of disability and impaired quality of life. Individuals with existing or prior health conditions, including diabetes, cancer, depression, and severe COVID-19 are particularly at …

Development of prediction models for cardiovascular disease risk in China
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading causes of death in China. Since population CVD incidence and risk factor levels vary considerably across regions in China, prevention of CVD taking into account heterogeneity in risk factors and disease rated across China could be …

Evaluating and enhancing cardiovascular disease risk prediction with algorithmic fairness
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with risk prediction models in widespread clinical use. Yet much remains unknown about the performance of CVD risk prediction models in specific subgroups, and disparities in predictions can exacerbate health …

Assessing Cardiovascular Disease Risk In Women Newly Diagnosed With Breast Cancer
… study was designed to explore the baseline cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors of women newly diagnosed with breast cancer prior to receiving treatment with anthracyclines and/or trastuzumab. Women diagnosed with breast cancer are at risk for developing CVD and may experience increased …

Examining the Relationship of Physical Activity with Inflammation and Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for 37.1 percent of all deaths in the United States. Physical activity is inversely related to both CV event risk and to many of the individual CVD risk factors. The inverse relationship between physical activity and CVD risk is well established. However, much …

The Relationship between Meat Consumption and the Biological Determinants of Cardiovascular Disease Risk
<p>Fasting blood samples were collected from 26 omnivore and 27 vegetarian men (35-60 years of age), who were not taking any medications and by self-assessment were in good health. The following analyses were done: glucose (Glu), glycohemoglobin (HBA1), total serum cholesterol (chole), high density …
