| | The European Society of Cardiology identifies ultra-processed foods as a key cardiovascular risk, urging a shift in dietary guidelines for better heart health. | |
|
| | A multinational Nature Medicine validation study found that PREVENT and SCORE2 cardiovascular risk equations performed generally well across 6.4 million people from observational cohorts and randomized trials. The findings support broader use of these tools for CVD risk stratification, while highlighting the need for local calibration and more validation in underrepresented regions. | |
