Estimated Pulse Wave Velocity and Stroke Among Middle‐Aged and Older Population: Insights From 3 Prospective Cohorts by Yingzhen Gu, Xiaorong Han, Jinxing Liu, Yifan Li, Wei Zhang, Xiaopeng Yuan, Xiao Wang, Naqiang Lv, Aimin Dang

“…Over follow‐up periods of 10.28 years in the Health and Retirement Study, 9.95 years in the English Longitudinal Study of Aging, and 6.30 years in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, 624 (9.7%), 374 (5.8%), and 656 (5.3%) participants developed stroke, respectively. Fully adjusted Cox regression analysis revealed a significant association between ePWV and incident stroke across all cohorts (Health and Retirement Study: hazard ratio, 1.29 [95% CI, 1.24–1.35]; English Longitudinal Study of Aging: hazard ratio, 1.37 [95% CI, 1.28–1.46]; China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study: hazard ratio, 1.20 [95% CI, 1.15–1.25]). …”

Textural, Mineralogical and Chromatic Characterisation of the Beach Sediments of Cuba: Management Implications by Ángel Sánchez-Bellón, Eduardo Molina-Piernas, Giorgio Anfuso, Francisco Asensio-Montesinos, Juan Alfredo Cabrera-Hernández, Camilo M. Botero, Enzo Pranzini

“…Two main groups of beaches were identified: the lighter and brighter beaches of the cays are dominated by the association of authigenic carbonates (aragonite, kutnohorite, and calcite) while the south and northeastern coasts of eastern Cuba are dominated by darker sediments with larger grain sizes composed of amphibole, pyroxene, serpentines, chlorites, quartz, and plagioclase of detrital origin. The data obtained will allow the design of proper management actions of coastal resources, i.e., the maintaining of beaches’ sediment quality after nourishment works and, at the same time, the promotion and development of new, presently undervalued areas.…”
