Density and Fat Fraction of the Psoas, Paraspinal, and Oblique Muscle Groups Are Associated With Lumbar Vertebral Bone Mineral Density in a Multi‐Ethnic Community‐Living Population: The Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Pradyumna Gurusamy, Britta A. Larsen, Richard T. Allen, Samuel R. Ward, more

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research > 37 > 8 > 1537 - 1544

Low vertebral bone mass is a major risk factor for vertebral compression fractures. Although sarcopenia has been shown to be associated with low bone mineral density (BMD), it is not known whether trunk musculature is directly associated with lumbar BMD, and whether exercise modifies this association. Using data from the Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), we sought to determine the association...

Superior mesenteric artery calcification is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, systemic calcified atherosclerosis, and increased mortality

Timothy C. Lin, C. Michael Wright, Michael H. Criqui, Matthew A. Allison

Journal of Vascular Surgery > 2018 > 67 > 5 > 1484-1490

Atherosclerosis is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality. However, epidemiologic data are sparse regarding risk factors for superior mesenteric artery calcification (SMAC), the association between SMAC and disease in other arterial beds, or the independent contribution of SMAC to risk of mortality. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that presence and extent of SMAC are...

Kevin K. Wu, Taylor Bos, Brent T. Mausbach, Milos Milic, more

Journal of Psychosomatic Research > 2017 > 103 > C > 29-33

Caregiving stress is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Inability to adequately regulate blood pressure is a possible underlying mechanism explaining this risk. We examined the relationship between length of caregiving and cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (cBRS) to better understand the link between caregiving and CVD risk.A total of 146 elderly individuals (≥55years)...

Density of calcium in the ascending thoracic aorta and risk of incident cardiovascular disease events

Isac C. Thomas, Robyn L. McClelland, Erin D. Michos, Matthew A. Allison, more

Atherosclerosis > 2017 > 265 > C > 190-196

The volume and density of coronary artery calcium (CAC) both independently predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) beyond standard risk factors, with CAC density inversely associated with incident CVD after accounting for CAC volume. We tested the hypothesis that ascending thoracic aorta calcium (ATAC) volume and density predict incident CVD events independently of CAC.The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis...
