Sex-Specific Association Between Genetic Risk of Psychiatric Disorders and Cardiovascular Diseases

Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine

Although mediation analysis demonstrated that the association between PGSMDand CVDs in females was partly mediated by baseline body mass index, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and smoking, these risk factors did not explain the higher risk compared with males.

Lifestyle Risk Factors Predict Coronary Calcification among Male Endurance Athletes

Physiologically Speaking

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a measure of atherosclerosis and a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease. While CAC is typically associated with traditional risk factors such as age, hypertension, and smoking, paradoxically elevated CAC scores have been observed in male endurance athletes despite their otherwise healthy profiles.
