Mcr34-004	Velocity Reflection Index and Chronological Age: Confounder-Adjusted Statistical and Machine-Learning Analyses of Carotid Doppler Waveforms
	Quote:	Conclusion: VRI was robustly associated with chronological age and retained the leading feature-importance ranking across adjusted statistical and cross-validated machine-learning analyses. Validation against an established arterial-stiffness measure in an independent cohort is required before VRI can be considered a clinical vascular-aging biomarker.

	Quote:	Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have found that gut microbes can transform nitrate and iron from food into molecules that may help protect against cardiovascular and metabolic disease. The findings, published in Cell, uncover a previously unknown way the gut microbiota may influence important functions throughout the body.

	Quote:	Peppermint oil may have an unexpected benefit for people with mildly high blood pressure. Adults who took a small dose twice daily for 20 days saw their systolic blood pressure fall by an average of 8.5 mmHg, while a placebo group showed little change. Researchers say the inexpensive oil could eventually provide a simple additional option for managing elevated blood pressure. Share:

Sd343-011	Your Genes May Decide Whether a Low-carb Diet Sends Cholesterol Soaring
	Quote:	Low-carb diets have become increasingly popular, but their effects on cholesterol are far from uniform. Some people see little change, while others experience a substantial increase. New research suggests that genetics may help explain why. The findings indicate that saturated fat, which can make up a larger share of some low-carb diets, may interact with a persons genetic makeup to raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, a major contributor to heart disease risk.
