https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ars-1620.html Estimation of absolute cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and tailoring therapies according to the estimated risk is a fundamental concept in the primary prevention of CVD. Numerous CVD risk scores are currently available for use in various populations but unfortunately, none exists for South Asians who have much higher CVD risk as compared to their western counterparts. A literature search was done using PubMed and Google search engines to prepare a narrative review on this topic. Various currently available CVD risk scores and their pros and cons are summarized. The studies performed in native as well as migrant South Asians evaluating accuracy of these risk scores for estimation of CVD risk are also summarized. The findings of these studies have generally been inconsistent, but it appears that the British risk scores (e.g. QRISK versions) may be more accurate because of inclusion of migrant South Asians in the derivation of these risk scores. However, the lack of any prospective study precludes our ablized solutions to CVD risk assessment and management in these populations. Individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) are susceptible to balance, gait and cognitive impairments. Importantly, diabetes affects executive function, a set of cognitive processes critical to everyday cortical function and mobility. Reduced executive function is a risk factor for falls in people with DM. Dual-task testing, the completion of two tasks at once, enables the examination of the cognitive-mobility relationship. A synthesis of the literature on the effects of dual-task testing on the balance and gait of individuals with DM has not been performed. To systematically review the literature on the effect of dual-task testing on balance and gait in people with DM. Databases EMBASE, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science were searched (inception-April 2020). participants were adults with a diagnosis of DM, instrumented dual-tas
