Approximately 30,000 people without cardiovascular disease had their heart health scores compared to their rates of hospitalization or death from COVID-19. An inverse relationship was found. Physical activity, BMI, blood pressure, and sleep were the components of the heart health score most strongly associated with COVID-19 severity.

Better heart health before the pandemic was linked to a lower risk of severe COVID-19 events, according to research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. Adults with the highest heart health scores at the beginning of the pandemic were nearly half as likely to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19 when compared to those with the lowest scores.
A review of randomized controlled trials and prospective cohort studies (PCS) evaluating the effect of trans fats (TF) from dairy sources on cardiometabolic health found that, unlike manufactured TF, the dairy TF were not associated with lipid biomarkers of heart disease. The PCS also showed no association with stroke or type 2 diabetes.

Trans fats found naturally in dairy foods such as milk, butter, and cheese do not increase the risk of heart disease or type 2 diabetes, a new study has found. Researchers analyzed evidence from 22 studies involving thousands of people across Europe, Canada, and the United States and found that natural trans fats behave very differently in the body from the industrial kind. Unlike industrial trans fats, which are strongly linked to heart disease, those found in dairy appear to pose no risk.
An observational study of over 112,000 people for ~8 years examined hypertension and CVD in relation to consumption of food additives. Antioxidant and non-antioxidant preservatives were associated with 22 and 29 percent higher risk of hypertension, respectively. Non-antioxidant preservatives were associated with a 16% higher risk of CVD.

Common preservatives used in processed foods may increase the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, according to a study of more than 112,000 people.
A prospective cohort study of over 17,000 people for 7-8 years found that moderate to vigorous physical activity resulted in dose-responsive reductions in cardiovascular disease risk well beyond current guidelines. Risk decreased by 30% or more with activity levels 3-4 times guidelines.

Background Several studies have suggested that high intakes of legumes and soy products are associated with a lower risk of hypertension; however, the results have been inconsistent. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the association between legumes and soy consumption and the risk of hypertension.Methods PubMed and Embase databases were searched up to 14 June 2025. Random effects models were used to calculate summary relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for the association between legume or soy consumption and hypertension risk. Heterogeneity was evaluated using I 2. The likelihood of causality was evaluated using World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) criteria.Results 12 prospective studies were included in the meta-analysis. The summary RR for high versus low intake of legumes was 0.84 (95% CI 0.77 to 0.93, I 2=65%, pheterogeneity=0.003, n=10 studies, 86 098 cases, 309 853 participants) and for soy was 0.81 (95% CI 0.70 to 0.93, I2=82%, pheterogeneity<0.0001, n=7 studies, 93 934 cases, 278 200 participants). In the linear dose–response analyses, the summary RR per 100 g/day was 0.88 (95% CI 0.80 to 0.97, I2=69%, pheterogeneity=0.001, n=10) for legumes and 0.76 (95% CI 0.60 to 0.96, I2=89%, pheterogeneity<0.0001, n=6) for soy. The test for non-linearity was not significant for legumes (pnon-linearity=0.13), suggesting a linear reduction in risk up to ~170 g/day, while for soy there was indication of non-linearity (pnon-linearity=0.01), and most of the reduction in risk was observed up to an intake around 60–80 g/day. Although there was an indication of publication bias with Egger’s test (p=0.04) for legumes, this was explained by two outlying studies. Using WCRF criteria, the likelihood of causality was considered probable for both legumes and soy in relation to hypertension risk.Conclusion In this meta-analysis of 12 prospective cohort studies, legume and soy intakes were associated with lower risk of hypertension. These findings support dietary recommendations to increase the intake of legumes in the general population.
Compared to 17 other high-income countries, death rates are higher in the U.S. from multiple causes. Although death rates from homicides were much higher in the U.S., the largest contributor to excess deaths was circulatory diseases for every year from 1999 to 2022 except for 2010.

This is an example of a key problem with WCAG 2: the guideline clams to "help colorblind" but the facts don't hold this true. On the left is standard vision, on the right is how it is seen by protanopia. Notice that the ones that "pass" are unreadable, while the readable ones fail.
