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.

Review Description
Spousal pairs permit assessment of determinants of diseases related to environment, because they share the same lifestyle and environment. The authors reviewed spouses' concordance for the major coronary risk factors. A search of the MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE databases was performed. Seventy-one papers were selected for a total of 207 cohorts of pairs and 424,613 correlations in more than 100,000 couples. The most strongly correlated within-pairs factors were smoking and body mass index, with overall correlations of 0.23 (95% confidence interval: 0.12, 0.36) and 0.15 (95% confidence interval: 0.05, 0.25), respectively. Statistically significant positive correlations were also found for diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, weight, and the waist/hip ratio. The overall odds ratios for concordance in hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and obesity were all statistically significant, ranging from 1.16 to 3.25. Assortative mating influenced concordance for blood pressure, smoking, glucose, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, weight, body mass index, and waist circumference. This systematic review shows a statistically significant positive spousal concordance for the majority of main coronary risk factors. However, the strength of the concordance was markedly different among factors and appeared to be quite modest for all of them. Interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk factors should be addressed jointly to both members of a marital couple. © The Author 2008.
