Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Findings from University of Colorado Reveals New Findings on Dementia (Caregiving Intensity and Duration, Cardiovascular Disease, and Race/ Ethnicity In Family Caregivers of Persons With Dementia)
2024 APR 22 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx Cardiovascular Daily -- Investigators publish new report on Neurodegenerative Diseases and Conditions
Article Description
We investigated if caregiving intensity and duration affected cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks and diagnosis and whether the relationship differed by race and ethnicity in family caregivers (FCGs) of persons with dementia. We conducted a secondary analysis of the 2015–2020 CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data using a logistic regression analysis. A total of 6132 dementia FCGs were included. We found that the more time FCGs spent providing care per week (intensity) or over time (duration), the more likely they reported CVD risks and diagnosis. However, the associations between caregiving intensity and CVD risks and diagnosis did not differ by race and ethnicity, nor did the associations between caregiving duration and the outcomes. These findings suggest future studies should be conducted to develop preventive strategies for FCGs’ cardiovascular health. Further work is needed to identify the impact of race and ethnicity on the relationship between caregiving conditions and CVD with larger samples of racial and ethnic minorities.
