Lower heart-health scores linked to end-stage kidney disease

Each 10-point lower heart-health score was linked to a hazard ratio—a measure of relative risk over time—of 1.47 for end-stage kidney disease.Each 10-point lower heart-health score was linked to a hazard ratio—a measure of relative risk over time—of 1.47 for end-stage kidney disease.

Limit: The study measured risk associated with scores, not kidney benefits from improving them

Depression risk from modifiable factors declines with age

In a study of 428,078 adults followed for 13 years, population-attributable fractions for modifiable depression risks fell from 83.47% in middle age to 76.77% in the…In a study of 428,078 adults followed for 13 years, population-attributable fractions for modifiable depression risks fell from 83.47% in middle age to 76.77% in the elderly.
