- WHO's global strategy for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases recognizes the vast body of knowledge and experience in this domain.1 One of the main objectives is to reduce the level of exposure to the major risk factors, namely, tobacco use, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, which should be tackled in an integrated manner.

- The aim of this study was to compare the lipid-lowering effect of a novel functional tomato sauce with a well-known functional food with a lipid-lowering effect, i.e. a sterol-enriched yogurt. (researchgate.net)
- Boston, MA - A new study led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health researchers provides powerful new tools to help clinicians around the globe predict their patients' 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) . (harvard.edu)
- The study found that, between 85% and 99% of the time, the office-based risk prediction model worked as well as the laboratory-based model in characterizing CVD risk. (harvard.edu)
- The study also found that 10-year CVD risk was lower in high-income countries than in lower- and middle-income countries. (harvard.edu)
- Our results suggest that urgent action is needed to strengthen the primary health care system in many low- and middle-income countries to detect individuals at high risk of CVD and to provide lifestyle counseling or medications to lower their risk," said Peter Ueda, postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Global Health and Population at Harvard Chan and lead author of the study.

Medication1
- National and international guidelines recommend that physicians use risk prediction equations, usually in the form of risk charts, to predict which of their patients are at high risk for heart disease and stroke, and to suggest lifestyle modification or prescribe medication to lower their risk. (harvard.edu)
Researchers8
- The researchers also examined enrichment of single nucleotide polymorphisms -- bits of DNA that vary among individuals -- associated with prostate cancer and CVD risk. (sciencedaily.com)
- The researchers produced the first set of risk charts for 182 countries to predict future risk of fatal and non-fatal CVD events, including heart attack and stroke. (harvard.edu)
- The researchers set out to provide CVD risk prediction models geared toward each country. (harvard.edu)
- To generate the models, researchers used data from eight long-term studies in the U.S. and recalibrated the models by using data on CVD risk factor levels and CVD rates for each target country. (harvard.edu)
