Article Abstract
Purpose: Despite being at higher risk, many people with cancer do not receive adequate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment or management. The purpose of this research was to examine people with cancer's perceptions, experiences and needs regarding CVD risk factor awareness, assessment and management.
Methods: We conducted 15 individual interviews to examine people with cancer's perspectives regarding CVD care in cancer. Reflexive thematic analysis was utilised to collect and organise data into themes and to synthesise findings.
Results: Fifteen people (6 males) diagnosed with diverse cancer types participated. Majority participants were not or only somewhat aware of CVD risk in cancer, but all expressed it was an important issue. A diverse range of priorities and needs for CVD care was discussed, including some participants' prioritisation of dealing with cancer and preferred amount, type and manner of information provision and support. Websites and brochures were identified as potential solutions for optimising CVD care.
Conclusions: Codesign methodology should be used to engage patients in the development of flexible, tailored resources to increase awareness of CVD risk and strategies for its management.
Implications For Cancer Survivors: Perceptions of people with cancer regarding CVD care can inform new interventions that reduce the impact of CVD in cancer.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, with a reach extending beyond the liver to include other metabolic syndrome-related disorders. Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus are recognised non-communicable disorders and often downstream complications of MASLD and share similar risk factors. However, MASLD has not been afforded parity alongside other cardiometabolic non-communicable disorders, including the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome.

Aims: The phase angle (PhA) derived from a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The present study explored the relationship between PhA and the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic adults.
Methods: Two cross-sectional studies were performed on 15579 participants who underwent carotid ultrasound testing and a BIA as well as 8228 participants who underwent brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) testing and a BIA.

Objectives: The objectives were to examine the associations between accelerometer-measured circadian rest-activity rhythm (CRAR), the most prominent circadian rhythm in humans and the risk of mortality from all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with cancer.
Methods: 7456 cancer participants from the UK Biobank were included. All participants wore accelerometers from 2013 to 2015 and were followed up until 24 January 2024, with a median follow-up of 9.

Background: There is no consensus for using statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), because no randomized controlled trial has exclusively investigated statins in this population.
Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to evaluate the long-term risks and benefits of statins for primary prevention in adults with T1DM.
Methods: We performed a sequential target trial emulation comparing statin initiation vs noninitiation using UK primary care data from the IQVIA Medical Research Data database.

Background: Muscle quality index (MQI), a new metric for assessing sarcopenia, reflects the functional capacity of muscle. However, the associations between MQI and adverse health outcomes and the corresponding mechanisms are not well understood.
Objective: We aimed to prospectively evaluate the associations of MQI with risk of nine adverse health outcomes (ie, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), respiratory disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), liver disease, dementia, depression, and all-cause mortality), as well as the mediating role of metabolomics in these associations.
