Multicenter Study Observational Study
Abdominal obesity and the risk of recurrent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction.
The association between abdominal obesity and recurrent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction remains unknown. ⋯ Abdominal obesity was common in post-myocardial infarction patients and larger waist circumference was independently associated with recurrent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, particularly in men. We recommend utilising waist circumference to identify patients at increased risk of recurrent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction.

Tea consumption and the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality: The China-PAR project.
The role of tea consumption in the primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains unclear in cohort studies. This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the associations of tea consumption with the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. ⋯ Tea consumption was associated with reduced risks of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, especially among those consistent habitual tea drinkers.
