Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of mortality worldwide, results from a
complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Genetic studies identified …

Background and aims Studies have demonstrated that the risk of atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) can be assessed by polygenic risk score (PRS) using …

Background Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 97 body-
mass index (BMI) associated loci. We aimed to evaluate if dietary intake modifies BMI …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Using a genetic predisposition score (GPS), integrating the
additive associations of a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with CHD, we …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of body mass index (BMI) using large samples
have yielded approximately a dozen robustly associated variants and implicated additional …

Background: The vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA) family of cytokines regulates
proliferation, angiogenesis, and migration of endothelial cells, increases vascular …

The field of nutrigenomics studies the interaction between nutrition and genetics, and how
certain dietary patterns can impact gene expression and overall health. The Mediterranean …

Combining multiple genetic variants related to obesity into a genetic risk score (GRS) might
improve identification of individuals at risk of developing obesity. Moreover, characterizing …

Available data investigating the associations between dietary animal and plant protein
intakes and cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) among populations with habitual plant …

Background Evidence is accumulating that intake of animal-based and plant-based proteins
has different effects on cardiometabolic health, but less is known about the health effect of …
