APPENDIX I.A.2. LITERATURE REVIEW

The results of the literature search are provided below in terms of the population (top) and clinical (bottom) portions of the evidence model. A total of 43,627 records were obtained from the search; the following notes the number of records per topic.

Population model search citations by topic area (22,017 total):

Cardiovascular disease	3,675 citations
Hypertension	93 citations
Diabetes	65 citations
Dyslipidemia	73 citations
Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality	225 citations
Noncardiovascular morbidity and mortality	4,272 citations

Clinical model search citations by topic area (11,268 total):

Cardiovascular disease	1,866 citations
Hypertension	616 citations
Diabetes	380 citations
Dyslipidemia	917 citations
Cardiovascular morbidity	71 citations
Noncardiovascular morbidity and mortality	6,507 citations

Note: The number of citations per topic do not add up to the total citations per top or bottom model or the overall NLM search. The total number includes all of those listed above plus the citations for fitness, weight loss, and abdominal fat
