Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2... by Michael, Brauer

“…For younger demographics (ie, those aged 0–4 years and 5–14 years), risks such as low birthweight and short gestation and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing (WaSH) were among the leading risk factors, while for older age groups, metabolic risks such as high SBP, high body-mass index (BMI), high FPG, and high LDL cholesterol had a greater impact. From 2000 to 2021, there was an observable shift in global health challenges, marked by a decline in the number of all-age DALYs broadly attributable to behavioural risks (decrease of 20·7% [13·9–27·7]) and environmental and occupational risks (decrease of 22·0% [15·5–28·8]), coupled with a 49·4% (42·3–56·9) increase in DALYs attributable to metabolic risks, all reflecting ageing populations and changing lifestyles on a global scale. …”

A possible culprit for refractory angina by Nature Research (16552612)

“…</p><p>This may implicate lipoprotein(a) as having a causal role in refractory angina, but the findings still need to be confirmed by testing a control group of patients who have coronary heart disease but not refractory angina.</p><p>An increased lipoprotein(a) level is known to be highly heritable, and is believed to promote hardening of the arteries by trapping cholesterol in the inner linings of blood vessels, promoting clot formation, recruiting inflammatory cells, or binding pro-inflammatory phospholipids.…”
