Abstract

Background Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the third leading cause of death in women service members and veterans. This study assessed 10-year ASCVD risk in women service members and veterans using their own electronic health record data extracted from Veterans Affairs (VA) national Corporate Data Warehouse database. Methods and Results We retrospectively followed 69 574 VA women, aged 30 to 79 years, from 2007 to 2017. Of these, 52% were whites (n=36 172), 42% were blacks (n=29 232), and 6% were Hispanics (n=4171). Risk factors and ASCVD events (nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, and cardiac deaths) were identified using diagnostic and procedural codes from electronic health records. Then, within the same construct of the current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association 10-year ASCVD risk assessment models for women, coefficients for risks factors were recalculated using the VA national electronic health record data, stratified by race (hereafter, VA women model). Our study found a curvilinear association of aging with increased risk of 10-year ASCVD event in VA women starting at ages as young as 30 years across all race groups. The VA women model performance in predicting ASCVD...Continue Reading

Aging-Associated Metabolic Disorders

Age is associated with many metabolic disorders including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease. The mediators in aging process have been suggested to play a part in the cellular processes responsible for these metabolic disorders. Here is the latest research on aging-associated metabolic disorders.
