Body Roundness Can Predict Heart Disease Risk, Study Shows
"Rounder" participants were 163 percent more likely to develop heart disease in a Chinese study of adults over the age of 45.
Heavy metal exposure could increase cardiovascular disease risk, study finds
Exposure to heavy metals may increase risk of calcium buildup in the walls of coronary arteries, which can lead to chronically narrowed arteries, a new study found.
Measure of body roundness may help to predict risk of cardiovascular disease
Having a high body roundness index (BRI) over a 6-year period was associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease for adults older than age 45, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
Buildup of Metals in Body Can Worsen Heart Disease
There were also geographic hotspots for especially high levels of metals in urine. For example, people living in Los Angeles had markedly higher urinary tungsten and uranium level
Exposure to zinc, copper and other metals linked to heightened risk of heart disease
People with high levels of metals found in tobacco smoke, fertilizers and batteries are more likely to develop atherosclerosis, a disease that reduces blood flow to organs.
Metal exposure can increase cardiovascular disease risk
Metal exposure from environmental pollution is associated with increased calcium buildup in the coronary arteries at a level comparable to traditional risk factors, according to a new study. The findings support that metals in the body are associated with the progression of plaque buildup in the arteries and potentially provide a new strategy for managing and preventing atherosclerosis.
