Climate change is arguably the greatest challenge to conservation of our time. Most vulnerability assessments rely on past and current species distributions to predict future persistence but ignore species’ abilities to disperse through landscapes, which may be particularly important in fragmented habitats and crucial for long-term persistence in changing environments....
OBJECTIVE: The associations of some risk factors with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are attenuated in
older age; whereas others appear robust. The present study aimed to compare CVD risk factors across
older age. METHODS: Participants (n = 4883) in the Cardiovascular Health Study free of prevalent CVD,
were stratified into three...
OBJECTIVES: Subclinical vascular disease (SVD) contributes to the aging process and may decrease life expectancy. We aimed to determine the contribution of gradations of SVD to the likelihood of achieving longer survival, and to determine what allows some individuals to achieve longer survival in the presence of high SVD.
DESIGN:...
