Obesity.
- In the CPP cohort (8165 women, 1959–1966; follow-up to 2016), postpartum weight retention measured by interconception weight change (ICWC) was linked to long-term mortality
- Compared to ICWC >0–1.8 kg, ICWC >−1.4–0 kg lowered all-cause mortality (aHR 0.85) & diabetes-related mortality (aHR 0.45)
- Greater weight loss (lower IPWC quintiles) suggested reduced risk.

Hypertension.
- In the ARIC study (11,386 adults; mean age 54, 56% female), changes in orthostatic BP predicted adverse outcomes over 35 yrs
- Drops in SBP on standing were linked to CHD, syncope, & mortality
- Rises ≥20 mmHg in SBP increased falls (HR 1.52) & syncope (HR 1.40) in untreated patients
- Lower standing SBP raised syncope risk in treated patients (HR 1.55)
- Elevated pulse pressure independently predicted CHD & mortality.

Neurology
- Smoking cessation reduces dementia risk vs current smokers (HR ~0.84); similar to never smokers over time.
- Benefit increases with duration; risk approaches never smokers by ~7 years post-cessation.
- Excess post-cessation weight gain (>10 kg) may attenuate dementia risk reduction.
- Study highlighted the need for weight management in cessation programs.

Lancet Diabetes Endo...
- Amongst 93532 adults with diabetes (median age 55; 61.9% male), 27,486 (29.4%) developed diabetic kidney disease over 18.4 mths
- Visceral fat area (VFA) was significantly associated with risk (per IQR 52 cm²: aHR 1.08)
- Men had a U-shaped risk, elevated at ≤50 cm² & >125 cm² (aHR: 1.16), women had increased risk at VFA >75 cm² (aHR: 1.10)
- Sex- & BMI-specific patterns highlight VFA as a key stratification marker.
