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.

Highlights

  • Metformin activates GDF15 expression, which reduces appetite with induction of weight loss in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
  • GDF15 level is linked and correlated with the progression of diabetic complications including thrombosis, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic retinopathy.

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

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.

Serum sodium level is inversely associated with new-onset diabetes in hypertensive patients 血清钠水平与高血压患者新发糖尿病呈负相关

Highlights

  • There is an inverse association between serum sodium and new-onset diabetes in a Chinese community-based hypertensive population.
  • Sodium control may need to be further refined to provide comprehensive cardiovascular and diabetes risk management for hypertensive patients.
