Age of menopause, healthy lifestyle and cardiovascular disease in women: a prospective cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Menopause is a timely opportunity to screen for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and intervene with healthier lifestyles. Primary outcome was new-onset CVD (self-reported heart disease/stroke) based on survey data at Wave 2 (2012–2015) and/or Wave 3 (2018–2020).

Lipid metabolism-associated metabolites on cardiovascular diseases: a two-sample Mendelian randomized study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThere is a growing body of evidence indicating that metabolites are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the underlying causality of these associations remains largely unchallenged. After Bonferroni correction, causal associations were found to be significant with p-values less than 0.05.
