A novel index, Chinese visceral adiposity index is closely associated with urinary albumin-creatinine ratio in Chinese community adults, especially in hypertensive or hyperglycemic population: Results from the REACTION study
一个新的指标, 中国人内脏脂肪指数与中国社区成年人(特别是高血压或高血糖人群)尿白蛋白-肌酐比值密切相关:来自REACTION研究的结果
- Pages: 792-805
- First Published: 29 November 2022

Highlights
- This is the first large-sample, multicenter study of the relationship between Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) in Chinese community adults.
- CVAI and UACR were significantly associated in both genders.
- At higher CVAI levels, the population with prediabetes, diabetes, and hypertension has a more significant correlation between CVAI and UACR.

Are U-shaped relationships between risk factors and outcomes artifactual?
风险因素与结果之间的U或J型关系以及分布偏倚的作用
- Pages: 815-821
- First Published: 08 December 2022

Highlights
- U-shaped relationships between three common cardiovascular risk factors (weight, systolic blood pressure, and insulin) and hazards of composite cardiovascular outcomes were analyzed in three study samples: entire sample, “high” subgroup, and “low” subgroup.
- Nadir values for all three risk factors were shifted left in the low-subgroup population and shifted right in the high-subgroup population when compared to the nadir value in the original population.
- Recommendations that risk factor levels below or above some specific nadir should not be therapeutically targeted in the underlying population based on U- or J- shape relationships observed in epidemiologic studies should be supported by randomized controlled trials.
