Chronic diseases had different links to thinking scores

People with memory-related diseases scored 0.292 standard deviations lower on overall thinking tests than those without; standard deviations measure the spread of scores.People with memory-related diseases scored 0.292 standard deviations lower on overall thinking tests than those without; standard deviations measure the spread of scores.

Clinical obesity linked to higher cardiovascular disease risk

Under the new definition, people with obesity and clinical risk factors had higher cardiovascular risk than those without obesity, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.67.Under the new definition, people with obesity and clinical risk factors had higher cardiovascular risk than those without obesity, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.67.
