The effect of a two-week low glycaemic index, higher fibre diet versus high glycaemic index diet on body composition, ectopic lipids, inflammatory biomarkers, gastrointestinal hormones and gut microbiota in Metabolic dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD): A pilot randomized cross-over study doi.org/10.1016/j.clne…

- In this study, the low-glycaemic index diet led to reductions in body weight, BMI, HOMA-IR, and appetite scores.

In this pilot study, a short-term low-glycaemic index diet intervention led to greater improvements in body weight and insulin resistance in patients with MASLD compared to a high-glycaemic index diet, despite matched energy and macronutrients.

@nick_krontiris Training history masks coronary disease more than I expected. Exercise BP testing should be standard for masters athletes. Critical implications. 📊

This study finds that masters male endurance athletes have a high prevalence of occult hypertension, something in turn associated with high coronary artery calcification (CAC) scores, coronary stenosis and high-risk plaques.

The Correlations and Predictive Capabilities of the “Life's Essential 8” With Respect to All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Risks in Individuals Experiencing Sleep Disorders: A Prospective Cohort Study From the NHANES (2005–2014) (open access) doi.org/10.1002/clc.70…

Each 10-point increment in the Life’s Essential 8 cardiovascular health score was associated with a 15% reduced risk of all-cause mortality and a 28% cardiovascular disease mortality.

In this study, a higher level of cardiovascular health, as evaluated using the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 cardiovascular health score, was associated with lower risks of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in individuals with sleep disorders.

@nick_krontiris Everything in excess has a negative impact.

New publication Sports Medicine! After 35 years, how well does Joyner’s endurance performance model still hold up? I’m excited to share our latest paper where we used this classic model in a large cohort of 888 individuals , from recreational athletes to world-class.

Acute sleep rebound following sleep restriction is associated with reduced mortality risk (open access) doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

- These findings were replicated using data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Here, short sleep was associated with higher mortality risk and sleep rebound attenuated this association.
