In 2013, the American Heart Association (AHA) issued lifestyle management gui
P P P P P P P P P P
delines designed to reduce cardiovascular risk. For adult patients with elevated
P P P P P P P P P P P
LDL-
cholesterol levels the AHA advises following diet plans such as the Dietary Appro
P P P P P P P P P P P P
aches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, the AHA diet, or the USDA Food Pattern
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
. The AHA specifically recommends reducing the percentage of calories from sat
P P P P P P P P P P P
urated fat, aiming for a goal of 6%- P P P P P P P
7% of calories from this source. The AHA also recommends a diet that emphasiz
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
es the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and which includes fi
P P P P P P P P P P P P
sh, poultry, low- P P
fat dairy products, legumes, nontropical vegetable oils, and nuts. Consumption
P P P P P P P P P P
of red meat, sweets, and sugar-
P P P P P
sweetened beverages should be discouraged.Although dietary fiber has been sh
P P P P P P P P P
own to have several beneficial health effects, the average daily intake for most
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
Americans is 15 g daily, which is much lower than the recommended amount. Th
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
e recommended daily fiber intake for males age 14-
P P P P P P P P
50 is 38 g daily. For other populations the recommended amount is lower, and v

Reducing smoking now will reduce the risk of preterm delivery - Answer :D
P P P P P P P P P P PP P
There are many reproductive problems related to smoking, including conceptio

P P P P P P P P P P P P P
regnancy and spontaneous abortion; an increased risk of abruption, preterm ru

rinatal morbidity and mortality, including stillbirth, low birth weight, and SIDS-

related deaths. The 2001 Surgeon General's Report on women and smoking mak

nates many of these consequences.Small for gestational age (SGA) infants are a

dependent outcome of maternal smoking, with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.11 when
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
women smoke throughout pregnancy. Risks for prematurity (OR 1.15) and fetal

death (OR 1.15) are also increased. The risk of having an SGA infant is avoided if
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P
smoking is reduced, but the risks for prematurity and increased fetal death are n

ot.In 2014 the U.S. Surgeon General issued a new report on the health conseque
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
nces of smoking that noted that the evidence was strong enough to infer a causa
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P
l link between maternal smoking and orofacial clefts. This was still true when the

Erectile dysfunction may be an early indication of vascular disease

About 5% of men his age experience ED - Answer :D
P P P P P P P P PP P
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common, affecting an estimated 30 million men in th
P P P P P P P P P P P P
e United States, and becomes more common with advancing age. The Health Pr
P P P P P P P P P P P P
ofessionals Follow- P
up Study reported moderate to severe ED in 12% of men younger than 59, 22%
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P
of men ages 60-
P P P
69, and 30% of men older than 69.It was previously thought that the majority of
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P
cases of ED were caused by psychogenic factors such as family or occupational s
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
tress. However, evidence suggests that approximately 80% of ED is due to organ
P P P P P P P P P P P P
ic disease, which can be divided into hormonal, vasculogenic, and neurogenic ca
P P P P P P P P P P P
uses. Vasculogenic etiologies are the most common, with arterial or "inflow" dis
P P P P P P P P P P P
orders accounting for more problems than venous disorders. The patient should
P P P P P P P P P P
Pbe advised that their ED is a risk factor for underlying cardiovascular disease an
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
d that further evaluation may be appropriate. It is important to remember, how
P P P P P P P P P P P P
ever, that even though the primary etiology of ED is most often organic, psychol
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
ogical factors frequently coexist and play a role in the dysfunction.Many medica
P P P P P P P P P P P
tions can cause or contribute to ED. It is estimated that as many as 25% of ED cas
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P
es are due to medication side effects. This highlights the crucial role of the prima
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P
ry care physician in reviewing medication lists and modifying treatment regimen
P P P P P P P P P P
s as part of addressing ED. Common offenders include antihistamines, antihyper
P P P P P P P P P P
tensives and diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide and spironolactone, psychoa

ctive medications including SSRIs, and anti-

Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women in the U
