Socioeconomic Position and Malnutrition among Older Adults: Results from the FRADEA Study.
THE JOURNAL OF NUTRITION, HEALTH & AGING - 01 Jan 2018
Low socioeconomic position (SEP) is related to many health-related conditions in older adults. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the association between SEP and malnutrition, a condition with serious consequences for older people in terms of quality of life and adverse health events. In the current study, we investigated socioeconomic inequalities in malnutrition and sub-domains of malnu...

Arriba por la Vida Estudio (AVE): Study protocol for a standing intervention targeting postmenopausal Latinas.
CONTEMPORARY CLINICAL TRIALS - 01 Apr 2019
Postmenopausal Latinas are a growing population group in the US who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Epidemiological studies have shown that excessive sitting is related to cardiovascular disease risk. Older women sit for prolonged periods and most individuals do not meet physical activity guidelines. Reducing sitting through increased standing may improve cardiovascular risk. More ...
Associations of local-area walkability with disparities in residents' walking and car use.
PREVENTIVE MEDICINE - 01 Mar 2019
Research has examined spatial distribution of physical activity, mostly focusing on between-area differences by examining associations of area-level walkability measures with physical activity. Within-area distribution is also relevant, since larger disparities in physical activity within an area can contribute to greater inequalities in health. However, associations of within-area disparity in...
Are Neighborhood Environmental Attributes More Important for Older Than for Younger Adults' Walking? Testing Effect Modification by Age.
JOURNAL OF AGING AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY - 19 Nov 2018
Older adults are often considered more vulnerable to environmental factors than are younger adults. We examined whether the associations of objectively measured environmental attributes (Walk Score; street connectivity) with walking for transport differed between younger- (25-44 years), middle- (45-64 years), and older-aged (65-84 years) adults, using a large Australian sample of 14,656 people....
Handheld Echocardiography
ESSENTIAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY: A COMPANION TO BRAUNWALD'S HEART DISEASE - 01 Jan 2018
The field of echocardiography has evolved due to miniaturization, from increasing functionality of high end devices to the portability of hand held devices which have a footprint similar to a smart phone.This chapter seeks to inform the reader on the fundamental capabilities and limitations of hand-held echocardiography and the types of devices available. We explore the learning requirements fo...
Pulmonary Hypertension
ESSENTIAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY: A COMPANION TO BRAUNWALD'S HEART DISEASE - 01 Jan 2018
The echocardiographic assessment of pulmonary hypertension must include an appreciation of the interaction between the load imposed on the ventricle by the increased resistance of the pulmonary arteries and the contractile force of the right ventricle (RV). It is a combination of these two factors that determine the right ventricular and pulmonary artery pressures. Thus, an echocardiographic as...
Exercise and diet for heart disease in the frail patient: Fact or fiction?
HEART AND METABOLISM - 01 Jul 2018
Frailty represents a state of increased physiological vulnerability and diminished reserve, as well as a complex interaction between age, comorbidities, demographics, and lifestyle. Frailty has repeatedly been demonstrated to be an independent prognostic factor across the spectrum of cardiovascular disease; however, frail patients are often excluded from major clinical trials, leading to a sign...
The Dark Heart of Type 2 Diabetes
HTTPS://WWW.BAKER.EDU.AU/IMPACT/ADVOCACY/DARK-HEART-DIABETES - 01 Jan 2018
The 1.5 million Australians living with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to suffer a sudden cardiac death, where the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops working, compared to those without the condition.
Physiological Responses to Sedentary Behaviour
SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR EPIDEMIOLOGY - 01 Jan 2018
Sedentary behaviours—too much sitting as distinct from too little exercise—are emerging as a ubiquitous, modern-day health hazard. Epidemiological evidence is accumulating that indicates greater time spent in sedentary behaviour is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk, even when controlling for the influence of leisure time moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Based on these observ...

Prediabetes: early identification key to halting progression
ENDOCRINOLOGY TODAY - 01 Feb 2018
People with prediabetes will benefit from early identification using diabetes risk scores for the general population, and then further blood testing for those who are identified as being at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. A lifestyle intervention program should be commenced in people with prediabetes and pharmacological agents considered to prevent or slow the transition to diabetes.

International recommendations for electrocardiographic interpretation in athletes.
EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL - 21 Apr 2018
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of mortality in athletes during sport. A variety of mostly hereditary, structural, or electrical cardiac disorders are associated with SCD in young athletes, the majority of which can be identified or suggested by abnormalities on a resting 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Whether used for diagnostic or screening purposes, physicians responsible f...
Dulaglutide and renal outcomes in type 2 diabetes: an exploratory analysis of the REWIND randomised, placebo-controlled trial.
LANCET (LONDON, ENGLAND) - 13 Jul 2019
Two glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists reduced renal outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes at risk for cardiovascular disease. We assessed the long-term effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonist dulaglutide on renal outcomes in an exploratory analysis of the REWIND trial of the effect of dulaglutide on cardiovascular disease.REWIND was a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placeb...
Dulaglutide and cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes (REWIND): a double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial.
LANCET (LONDON, ENGLAND) - 13 Jul 2019
Three different glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists reduce cardiovascular outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk with high glycated haemoglobin A (HbA) concentrations. We assessed the effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonist dulaglutide on major adverse cardiovascular events when added to the existing antihyperglycaemic regimens of individuals with type 2 ...
High-density lipoprotein delivered after myocardial infarction increases cardiac glucose uptake and function in mice
SCI TRANSL MED - 11 Oct 2017
Protecting the heart after an acute coronary syndrome is a key therapeutic goal to support cardiac recovery and prevent progression to heart failure. A potential strategy is to target cardiac glucose metabolism at the early stages after ischemia when glycolysis is critical for myocyte survival. Building on our discovery that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) modulates skeletal muscle glucose metab...
