Eating a diet with a higher ratio of plant-based protein to animal-based protein may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary heart disease (CHD), according to a new study. According to the researchers, these risk reductions are likely driven by the replacement of red and processed meats with plant proteins. The researchers also observed that a combination of consuming more plant protein and higher protein intake overall provided the most heart health benefits.

Using an AI tool, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have analyzed brain images from 70-year-olds and estimated their brains' biological age. They found that factors detrimental to vascular health, such as inflammation and high glucose levels, are associated with an older-looking brain, while healthy lifestyles were linked to brains with a younger appearance.

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. This has raised concerns that long-term, high-volume exercise might be detrimental to heart health.

In this issue of the JCI, Ancel, Michaud, and colleagues used a high-content imaging screen to identify nicotinamide and pyridoxine as promoters of MuSC function. The combination of the two compounds promoted MuSC function in vivo in aged mice and in primary cells isolated from older individuals.
