The Lancet: Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors, men and women are different! More than 150,000 people followed up for 10 years of research to teach you to draw the key points!

Whether risk factors for cardiovascular disease are similar or different associations between women and men is unclear
.

However, the burden of cardiovascular disease is heaviest in low- and middle-income countries, where there are few
prospective data on the association of risk factors with cardiovascular disease.

In the prospective urban-rural epidemiology (PURE) study, researchers recruited participants from general populations in 21 high-income, middle- and low-income countries and followed them
for about 10 years.

The analysis ultimately included 155 724 participants enrolled and followed up between 5 January 2005 and 13 September 2021, of whom 90,934 were [58.

As of data as of September 13, 2021, there were 4280 major cardiovascular disease events in women (age-standardized incidence of 5.

Women have a more favorable cardiovascular risk than men, especially at a young age

Total PAFs associated with behavioral and psychosocial risk factors were greater in men (15.

Overall, lipid profiles and depression correlated more strongly with cardiovascular disease risk in men than in women, and diet with cardiovascular disease risk in women was stronger than in men
