Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To investigate the implications of both sleep factors and sleep patterns on the prognosis of cardiometabolic multimorbidity. METHODS From UK Biobank, individuals with cardiometabolic multimorbidity , defined as the coincidence of at least 2 cardiometabolic diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and stroke) were included in this study. Four low-risk sleep factors, including early chronotype, sleep 7-8 h/d, free of insomnia, and no frequent excessive daytime sleepiness, were used to generate a healthy sleep score ranging from 0 to 4. Participants with a score of 0-1, 2, 3-4 were clustered into groups with poor, intermediate, and healthy sleep pattern, respectively. We assessed the adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for all-cause mortality using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Among included 35,757 participants, the mean age (standard deviation)) was 61.82 (6.3) years. After full adjustment, early chronotype, sleep 7-8 h/d, no frequent excessive daytime sleepiness, and free of insomnia were independently associated with 8%, 12%, 11%, and 8% lower risk of all-cause mortality among all persons with cardiometabolic multimorbidity. We found the fully adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) for all-cause mortality was 0.90 (0.88-0.92) for a 1-point increase in the healthy sleep score. Compared with the reference group, participants with the intermediate and healthy sleep pattern had 9% and 23% lower risk of all-cause death, respectively, in the fully adjusted model. CONCLUSIONS A healthy sleep pattern combining 4 low-risk sleep factors could be regarded as a healthy lifestyle for individuals with cardiometabolic multimorbidity to lower the risk of all-cause mortality.

Abstract
AIM To investigate changes in the pattern of drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes in Denmark from 2005 to 2021. MATERIALS AND METHODS A nationwide, population-based drug utilization study based on medical databases covering the Danish population was conducted. We assessed incident and prevalent use patterns among all 441 205 individuals initiating at least one non-insulin, glucose-lowering drug. RESULTS The rate of new users of non-insulin, glucose-lowering drugs increased from 2005, peaked in 2011, decreased to stable levels during 2013 to 2019, then increased dramatically during 2020-2021. The prevalence of use increased from 2.1% (in 2005) to 5.0% (in 2021) of the entire adult population. In 2021, metformin comprised 39% of all glucose-lowering drug consumption, followed by insulin (17%), sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) (17%), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) (16%) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (7.5%). Overall, 56% of users were on monotherapy, 28% used dual therapy, while 13% and 2.8% used three and four drug classes, respectively. Both the intensity and diversity of therapies increased substantially over time, with 15 different treatment regimens each covering more than 1% of users in 2021. General practitioners prescribed 88% of all glucose-lowering drugs. Marked shifts towards GLP-1RA initiation by general practitioners and SGLT-2i initiation by specialists were observed, and changing user profiles suggested increasing use for non-diabetes indications. CONCLUSIONS The rate of new users of non-insulin, glucose-lowering drugs has increased in recent years and the prevalence of glucose-lowering drug use increases steadily. Glucose-lowering drugs are mainly prescribed by general practitioners, and the intensity, diversity and indications of glucose-lowering treatment are increasing.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the association of comorbid depression and obesity with the risk of incident cardiometabolic multimorbidity among middle-aged and older Chinese adults. METHODS This cohort study extracted data from the 2011 and 2015 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Depression was confirmed by the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10) with a cut-off score ≥10. Obesity was defined as a body mass index ≥28 kg/m2. Participants were categorized into four groups based on depression and obesity status at baseline, i.e., with neither condition, depression only, obesity only, and with both conditions. Cardiometabolic multimorbidity was defined as the coexistence of two or more of heart diseases, stroke, and diabetes mellitus. Logistic regression models were established to estimate the associations. RESULTS A total of 9,308 participants without cardiometabolic multimorbidity at baseline were included (mean [SD] age, 58.8 [9.0] years; 4,449 [47.8%] were males). During four-year of follow-up, 349 (3.8%) participants developed cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Compared to participants without depression or obesity, comorbid depression and obesity was associated with greater risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (adjusted OR: 4.79, 95% CI: 3.09-7.43) than that in participants with depression alone (adjusted OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.37-2.46) or obesity alone (adjusted OR: 2.26, 95% CI: 1.48-3.45). The findings were consistent in different gender and age groups. CONCLUSIONS Comorbid depression and obesity was associated with excessive risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Intervention targeting at individuals with both depression and obesity might have substantial benefit in minimizing the risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity.

Abstract
Multimorbidity (≥2 chronic illnesses) is a worldwide healthcare challenge. Patients with multimorbidity have a reduced quality of life and higher mortality than healthy patients and use healthcare resources more intensively. This study investigated the prevalence of multimorbidity; examined the effects of multimorbidity on healthcare utilization; healthcare costs of multimorbidity; and compared the associations between the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of older patients undergoing surgery and multimorbidity, the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), the Simple Frailty Questionnaire (FRAIL), and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classifications. This prospective cohort study enrolled 360 patients aged > 65 years scheduled for surgery at a university hospital. Data were collected on their demographics, preoperative medical profiles, healthcare costs, and healthcare utilization (the quantification or description of the use of services, such as the number of preoperative visits, multiple-department consultations, surgery waiting time, and hospital length of stay). Preoperative-assessment data were collected via the CCI, FRAIL questionnaire, and ASA classification. HRQoL was derived using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. The 360 patients had a mean age of 73.9 ± 6.6 years, and 37.8% were men. Multimorbidity was found in 285 (79%) patients. The presence of multimorbidity had a significant effect on healthcare utilization (≥2 preoperative visits and consultations with ≥2 departments). However, there was no significant difference in healthcare costs between patients with and without multimorbidity. At the 3-month postoperative, patients without multimorbidity had significantly higher scores for HRQoL compared to those with multimorbidity (HRQoL = 1.00 vs 0.96; P < .007). While, patients with ASA Class > 2 had a significantly lower median HRQoL than patients with ASA Class ≤2 at postoperative day 5 (HRQoL = 0.76; P = .018), 1-month (HRQoL = 0.90; P = .001), and 3-months (HRQoL = 0.96; P < .001) postoperatively. Multimorbidity was associated with a significant increase in the healthcare utilization of the number of preoperative visits and a greater need for multiple-department consultations. In addition, multimorbidity resulted in a reduced HRQoL during hospital admission and 3-months postoperatively. In particular, the ASA classification > 2 apparently reduced postoperative HRQoL at day 5, 1-month, and 3-months lower than the ASA classification ≤2.

Abstract
The introduction of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in the management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) may be regarded as the first effective treatment in these patients. However, this proposition must be evaluated from the perspective of the complexity of clinical outcome endpoints in heart failure. The major goals of heart failure treatment have been categorized as: (1) reduction in (cardiovascular) mortality, (2) prevention of recurrent hospitalizations due to worsening heart failure, and (3) improvement in clinical status, functional capacity, and quality of life. The use of the composite primary endpoint of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in SGLT2 inhibitor HFpEF trials flowed from the assumption that hospitalization for heart failure is a proxy for subsequent cardiovascular death. The use of this composite endpoint was not justified since the effect of the intervention on both components was clearly distinct. Moreover, the lack of convincing and clinically meaningful effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on metrics of heart failure-related health status indicates that the effect of this class of drugs in HFpEF patients is essentially restricted to an effect on hospitalization for heart failure. In conclusion, SGLT2 inhibitors do not represent a substantial breakthrough in the management of HFpEF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases, including diabetic cardiomyopathy, are major causes of death in people with type 2 diabetes. Aldose reductase activity is enhanced in hyperglycemic conditions, leading to altered cardiac energy metabolism and deterioration of cardiac function with adverse remodeling. Because disturbances in cardiac energy metabolism can promote cardiac inefficiency, we hypothesized that aldose reductase inhibition may mitigate diabetic cardiomyopathy via normalization of cardiac energy metabolism. METHODS Male C57BL/6J mice (8-week-old) were subjected to experimental type 2 diabetes/diabetic cardiomyopathy (high-fat diet [60% kcal from lard] for 10 weeks with a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (75 mg/kg) at 4 weeks), following which animals were randomized to treatment with either vehicle or AT-001, a next-generation aldose reductase inhibitor (40 mg/kg/day) for 3 weeks. At study completion, hearts were perfused in the isolated working mode to assess energy metabolism. RESULTS Aldose reductase inhibition by AT-001 treatment improved diastolic function and cardiac efficiency in mice subjected to experimental type 2 diabetes. This attenuation of diabetic cardiomyopathy was associated with decreased myocardial fatty acid oxidation rates (1.15 ± 0.19 vs 0.5 ± 0.1 µmol min-1 g dry wt-1 in the presence of insulin) but no change in glucose oxidation rates compared to the control group. In addition, cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy were also mitigated via AT-001 treatment in mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy. CONCLUSIONS Inhibiting aldose reductase activity ameliorates diastolic dysfunction in mice with experimental type 2 diabetes, which may be due to the decline in myocardial fatty acid oxidation, indicating that treatment with AT-001 may be a novel approach to alleviate diabetic cardiomyopathy in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
The coexistence of several chronic diseases is very common in older adults, making it crucial to understand multimorbidity (MM) patterns and associated mortality. We aimed to determine the prevalence of MM and common chronic disease combinations, as well as their impact on mortality in men and women aged 65 years and older using the population-based KORA-Age study, based in South of Germany. The chronic disease status of the participants was determined in 2008/9, and mortality status was followed up until 2016. MM was defined as having at least two chronic diseases. We used Cox proportional hazard models to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations between MM and all-cause mortality. During the study period 495 men (24.6%) and 368 women (17.4%) died. Although the MM prevalence was almost the same in men (57.7%) and women (60.0%), the overall effect of MM on mortality was higher in men (HR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.47–2.24) than in women (HR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.01–1.64; p-value for interaction <0.001). The type of disease included in the MM patterns had a significant impact on mortality risk. For example, when both heart disease and diabetes were included in the combinations of two and three diseases, the mortality risk was highest. The risk of premature death does not only depend on the number of diseases but also on the specific disease combinations. In this study, life expectancy depended strongly on a few diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

Abstract
Patients with multimorbidity increasingly impact healthcare systems, both in primary care and in hospitals. This is particularly true in Internal Medicine. This population associates with higher mortality rates, polypharmacy, hospital readmissions, post-discharge syndrome, anxiety, depression, accelerated age-related functional decline, and development of geriatric syndromes, amongst others. Internists and Hospitalists, in one of their roles as Generalists, are increasingly asked to attend to these patients, both in their own Departments as well as in surgical areas. The management of polypathology and multimorbidity, however, is often complex, and requires specific clinical skills and corresponding experience. In addition, patients' needs, health-care environment, and routines have changed, so emerging and re-emerging specific competences and approaches are required to offer the best coordinated, continuous, and comprehensive integrated care to these populations, to achieve optimal health outcomes and satisfaction of patients, their relatives, and staff. This position paper proposes a set of emerging and re-emerging competences for internal medicine specialists, which are needed to optimally address multimorbidity now and in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chinese individuals face an increase in multimorbidity, but little is known about the mortality gradients of multimorbid people in different socio-economic groups. This study measures relative and absolute socio-economic inequality in mortality among multimorbid Chinese. METHODS For this study, the prospective China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) enrolled 512 712 participants ages 30-79 y from 10 areas of China between 25 June 2004 and 15 July 2008. All-cause mortality was accessed with a mean follow-up period of 10 y (to 31 December 2016). Associations between multimorbidity and mortality were assessed using Cox proportional hazards models, with the relative index of inequality (RII) and slope index of inequality (SII) in mortality calculated to measure disparities. RESULTS Mortality risk was highest for those who had not attended formal school and with four or more long-term conditions (LTCs) (hazard ratio 3.11 [95% confidence interval {CI} 2.75 to 3.51]). Relative educational inequality was lower in participants with four or more LTCs (RII 1.92 [95% CI 1.60 to 2.30]), especially in rural areas. Absolute disparities were greater in adults with more LTCs (SII 0.18 [95% CI 0.14 to 0.21] for rural participants with three LTCs). CONCLUSIONS Whereas the relative inequality in all-cause mortality was lower among multimorbid people, absolute inequality was greater among multimorbid men, especially in rural areas.

Zou H, Zhang S, Cai M, Qian ZM, Zhang Z, Chen L, Wang X, Arnold LD, Howard SW, Li H, Lin H. Ambient air pollution associated with incidence and progression trajectory of cardiometabolic diseases: A multi-state analysis of a prospective cohort. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 862:160803. [PMID: 36493826 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.160803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies on the association between ambient air pollution and cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) focused on a single disease, without considering cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) and the progression trajectory of CMDs. METHODS Based on the UK Biobank cohort, we included 372,530 participants aged 37-73 years at baseline (2006-2010) with follow-up until September 2021. Incident CMDs cases were identified based on self-reported information and multiple health-related records in the UK Biobank. CMM was defined as the occurrence of at least two CMDs, including ischemic heart disease (IHD), stroke and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Exposure to ambient air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5), ≤10 μm (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) were estimated at participants' geocoded residential addresses based on the high-resolution (1 × 1 km) pollution data from 2001 to 2021 provided by UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Multi-state models with adjustment for potential confounders were used to examine the impact of long-term exposure to ambient air pollution on transitions from healthy to first CMD (FCMD), subsequently to CMM, and further to death. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.6 years, 40,112 participants developed at least one CMD, 3896 developed CMM, and 21,739 died. Among the four pollutants, PM2.5 showed the strongest associations with all transitions from healthy to FCMD, to CMM, and then to death [hazard ratios (95 % confidence intervals) per interquartile range (IQR) increment: 1.62 (1.60, 1.64) and 1.68 (1.61, 1.76) for transitions from healthy to FCMD and from FCMD to CMM, and 1.62 (1.59, 1.66), 1.67 (1.61, 1.73), and 1.52 (1.38, 1.67) for death risk from healthy, FCMD, and CMM, respectively]. After dividing FCMDs into three specific CMDs, we found that ambient air pollution had differential impacts on disease-specific transitions within the same transition phase. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that there is potential for air pollution mitigation in contributing to the prevention of the development and progression of CMDs.

Effects of the Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors on Cardiovascular Death and All-Cause Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trials. Am J Cardiovasc Drugs 2023; 23:113-126.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes mellitus are at an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and all-cause mortality. Heart failure and type 2 diabetes often occur concomitantly, and each disease independently increases the risk for the other. OBJECTIVE Emerging data have revealed that some sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors (SGLTi) improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes. The magnitude of this effect in patients without any underlying condition remains unclear. As a result, we conducted a meta-analysis of the mortality outcomes of available SGLTi in patients with or without cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular risk factors, and heart failure. METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, placebo-controlled major cardiovascular outcome trials of SGLTi in patients regardless of their cardiovascular disease or risk status. PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, and EMBASE were searched for the relevant studies. Three reviewers extracted study data and three reviewers summarized the strength of the evidence. Efficacy outcomes included all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death), the composite of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, or hospitalization for heart failure. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were pooled across trials to calculate the overall effect size. RESULTS A total of 5043 all-cause mortality events were observed in the study groups. In 42,050 patients who received SGLTi, 2581 events were reported, and 2462 events were reported in 35,491 patients who received placebo (odds ratio = 0.86, 95% confidence interval 0.80-0.93, p = 0.0003). The use of SGLTi significantly reduced cardiovascular mortality compared with control across the patients' population (odds ratio = 0.86, 95% confidence interval 0.79-0.93, p = 0.0001). There was a consistent pattern of mortality beneficial estimates for all patients with different co-morbid conditions in the SGLTi-treated arm compared with the placebo-treated group. The presence or absence of significant cardiovascular disease risk factors (including a family history of premature coronary artery disease, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking, history of cardiovascular disease, and older age) did not affect the estimated mortality benefits. CONCLUSIONS Sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors significantly reduced major adverse cardiovascular events, including hospitalization and all-cause mortality in patients with or without established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We observed a beneficial trend in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and no benefits in patients with stroke or myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can have multiple comorbidities and premature mortality due to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, hospitalization with heart failure and/or chronic kidney disease. Traditional drugs that lower glucose, such as metformin, or that treat high blood pressure and blood levels of lipids, such as renin-angiotensin-system inhibitors and statins, have organ-protective effects in patients with T2DM. Amongst patients with T2DM treated with these traditional drugs, randomized clinical trials have confirmed the additional cardiorenal benefits of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. The cardiorenal benefits of SGLT2i extended to patients with heart failure and/or chronic kidney disease without T2DM, whereas incretin-based therapy (such as GLP1RA) reduced cardiovascular events in patients with obesity and T2DM. However, considerable care gaps exist owing to insufficient detection, therapeutic inertia and poor adherence to these life-saving medications. In this Review, we discuss the complex interconnections of cardiorenal-metabolic diseases and strategies to implement evidence-based practice. Furthermore, we consider the need to conduct clinical trials combined with registers in specific patient segments to evaluate existing and emerging therapies to address unmet needs in T2DM.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to characterize the impact of multimorbidity and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on mortality in patients completing cardiac rehabilitation (CR). METHODS This cohort study included data from patients with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) completing a 12-wk CR program between January 1996 and March 2016, with follow-up through March 2017. Patients were stratified by the presence of multimorbidity, which was defined as having a diagnosis of ≥2 noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate the effects of multimorbidity and CRF on mortality in patients completing CR. Symptom-limited exercise tests were completed at baseline, immediately following CR (12 wk), with a subgroup completing another test at 1-yr follow-up. Peak metabolic equivalents (METs) were determined from treadmill speed and grade. RESULTS Of the 8320 patients (61 ± 10 yr, 82% male) included in the analyses, 5713 (69%) patients only had CVD diagnosis, 2232 (27%) had CVD+1 NCD, and 375 (4%) had CVD+≥2 NCDs. Peak METs at baseline (7.8 ± 2.0, 6.9 ± 2.0, 6.1 ± 1.9 METs), change in peak METs immediately following CR (0.98 ± 0.98, 0.83 ± 0.95, 0.76 ± 0.95 METs), and change in peak METs 1 yr after CR (0.98 ± 1.27, 0.75 ± 1.17, 0.36 ± 1.24 METs) were different ( P < .001) among the subgroups. Peak METs at 12 wk and the presence of coexisting conditions were each predictors ( P < .001) of mortality. Improvements in CRF by ≥0.5 METS from baseline to 1-yr follow-up among patients with or without multimorbidity were associated with lower mortality rates. CONCLUSION Increasing CRF by ≥0.5 METs improves survival regardless of multimorbidity status.

Abstract
Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) is a class of drugs that were originally intended for decreasing blood glucose in diabetes. However, recent trials have shown that there are other beneficial effects. Major clinical trials involving SGLT2i medications from 2015 to 2022 were reviewed using PUBMED search. Recent major SGLT2i landmark trials have demonstrated benefits for cardiovascular disease (reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death), hospitalization for heart failure, all-cause death), and renal disease (delay the onset of dialysis) regardless of diabetic status. The consistent cardiorenal benefits observed in major landmark trials have resulted in the rapid adoption of SGLT2i therapy not only in diabetes guidelines but also cardiovascular and renal guidelines.

Abstract
Objective In China, a limited number of studies focus on women and examine the effect of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (defined as the presence of two or more cardiometabolic diseases) on health outcomes. This research aims to investigate the epidemiology of cardiometabolic multimorbidity and the association of cardiometabolic multimorbidity with long-term mortality. Methods This study used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study between 2011 and 2018, which includes 4,832 women aged 45 years and older in China. Poisson-distributed Generalized Linear Models (GLM) were applied to examine the association of cardiometabolic multimorbidity with all-cause mortality. Results Overall, the prevalence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity was 33.1% among the total sample of 4,832 Chinese women, and increased with age, ranging from 28.5% (22.1%) for those aged 45-54 years to 65.3% (38.2%) for those aged ≥75 years in urban (rural) areas. Compared with the group of none and single disease, cardiometabolic multimorbidity was positively associated with all-cause death (RR = 1.509, 95% CI = 1.130, 2.017), after adjusting socio-demographic and lifestyle behavioral covariates. Stratified analyses revealed that the association between cardiometabolic multimorbidity and all-cause death was only statistically significant (RR = 1.473, 95% CI = 1.040, 2.087) in rural residents, but not significant in urban residents. Conclusion Cardiometabolic multimorbidity is common among women in China and has been associated with excess mortality. Targeted strategies and people-centered integrated primary care models must be considered to more effectively manage the cardiometabolic multimorbidity shift from focusing on single-disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the patterns of cardiometabolic multimorbidity and associated risk factors in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). DESIGN We used data from the WHO STEPwise approach to non-communicable disease risk factor surveillance cross-sectional surveys conducted between 2014 and 2017. PARTICIPANTS The participants comprised 39, 658 respondents aged 15-69 years randomly selected from nine SSA countries using a multistage stratified sampling design. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURE Using latent class analysis and agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithms, we analysed the clustering of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) including high blood sugar, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as heart attack, angina and stroke. Clusters of lifestyle risk factors: harmful salt intake, physical inactivity, obesity, tobacco and alcohol use were also computed. Prevalence ratios (PR) from modified Poisson regression were used to assess the association of cardiometabolic multimorbidity with sociodemographic and lifestyle risk factors. RESULTS Two distinct classes of CMDs were identified: relatively healthy group with minimal CMDs (95.2%) and cardiometabolic multimorbidity class comprising participants with high blood sugar, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension and CVDs (4.8%). The clusters of lifestyle risk factors included alcohol, tobacco and harmful salt consumption (27.0%), and physical inactivity and obesity (5.8%). The cardiometabolic multimorbidity cluster exhibited unique sociodemographic and lifestyle risk profiles. Being female (PR=1.7, 95% CI (1.5 to 2.0), middle-aged (35-54 years) (3.9 (95% CI 3.2 to 4.8)), compared with age 15-34 years, employed (1.2 (95% CI 1.1 to 1.4)), having tertiary education (2.5 (95% CI 2.0 to 3.3)), vs no formal education and clustering of physical inactivity and obesity (2.4 (95% CI 2.0 to 2.8)) were associated with a higher likelihood of cardiometabolic multimorbidity. CONCLUSION Our findings show that cardiometabolic multimorbidity and lifestyle risk factors cluster in distinct patterns with a disproportionate burden among women, middle-aged, persons in high socioeconomic positions, and those with sedentary lifestyles and obesity. These results provide insights for health systems response in SSA to focus on these clusters as potential targets for integrated care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify the unique multimorbidity combinations (MMCs) and their associations with the functional disability of Indian older adults. Moreover, the population attributable fractions (PAFs) were calculated to assess the potential impact of additional diseases in the nested groups on disability. DESIGN A cross-sectional data were analysed in this study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS The present study uses data from the first wave of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (2017-2018). The sample for the study consists of 27 753 aged 60 years and over. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome variable was functional disability, measured by the combined activities of daily living (ADL)-instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) index. RESULTS Out of 197 uniquely identified MMCs, the combination of hypertension and high depressive symptoms (HDS) was the most prevalent (10.3%). Overall, all MMCs were associated with increased functional limitation. Specifically, the combination of hypertension, arthritis and HDS was associated with greater ADL-IADL disability than any other MMC. The addition of HDS in group 3 (hypertension and arthritis) (incidence rate ratios (IRR)=1.44; 95% CI 1.26 to 1.64) and the addition of arthritis in group 1 (hypertension, HDS) (IRR=1.48; 95% CI 1.28 to 1.71) and group 2 (hypertension, diabetes) (IRR=1.49; 95% CI 1.22 to 1.82) significantly increases the rates of ADL-IADL disability. The estimated PAFs of the group 1 (hypertension and HDS), group 3 (hypertension and arthritis) and group 4 (arthritis and HDS) for ADL-IADL disability were 22.5% (19.2-25.5), 21.6% (18.7-24.4) and 23.5% (20.6-26.3), respectively. CONCLUSION The findings from this study underscore the importance of addressing the morbidity combinations which are more disabling than the others in older adults. Understanding the somatic and psychological relevance of the morbidities in functional health is necessary and can help reduce disabilities among older adults.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the longitudinal relationship between solid fuel use and CMD incidence based on a nationally representative follow-up cohort study. A total of 6038 participants of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were enrolled in the study. CMD is a cluster of diseases that include heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to examine the association between solid fuel use and the incidence or multimorbidity of CMD. The interactions between overweight or obesity and household air pollution on CMD incidence were also investigated. In the present study, solid fuel use from cooking or heating, separately or simultaneously, was positively associated with CMD incidence. Elevated solid fuel use was significantly associated with a higher risk of CMD incidence (HR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.43 for cooking; HR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.11, 1.45 for heating). A statistically significant interaction between household solid fuel and OW/OB on the incidence of CMD and Cardiometabolic multimorbidity was also observed (p < 0.05). Our findings show that household solid fuel is a risk factor for the incidence of CMD. Therefore, reducing household solid fuel use and promoting clean energy may have great public health value for the prevention of CMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cardiometabolic conditions account for over 32% of all global deaths, nearly half of the patients with cardiometabolic conditions do not take medication as prescribed. Remote behavioral interventions have been shown to potentially improve adherence in these patients and further support cost effective clinical practice. PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of remote behavioral interventions at improving treatment adherence and to explore behavioral intervention components associated with it. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and Web of Science in April 2021. Random-effects meta-analyses were utilized. RESULTS In total, 40 studies, including 24,672 participants, were included. The overall quality of evidence, assessed using the RoB2 tool, was low. The intervention had a small (odds ratios [OR] = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.47, 1.96, N = 4823 p < .001) to moderate effect (SMD = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.38, 0.76, N = 20,271, p < .001) on the dichotomous and continuous outcomes, respectively. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was reduced by 3.71 mmHg (95% CI: 3.99, 3.43, N = 6,527, p < .001) and participants receiving the intervention were twice more likely to achieve blood pressure (BP) control (OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.61, 2.84, N = 1,172, p < .001). Generally, HBA1c decreased by 0.25% (95% CI: 0.33, 0.17, N = 6,734, p < .001), whereas low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol dropped by 6.82 mg/dL (95% CI: 8.33, 5.30, N = 4,550, p < .001) in favor of the intervention. There was a trend suggesting a potential positive effects on reducing visits to emergency department (OR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.57, 1.01, N = 4,182) and mortality rates (OR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.42, 1.42, N = 1,971), and no risk for hospital readmission (OR=1.00, 95% CI: 0.83, 1.20, N = 5,402), favoring the intervention. CONCLUSIONS Despite low quality of evidence, remote consultations are effective at improving medication adherence and clinical indicators, and potentially cost-effective solution for health care services.

Secondary prevention in diabetic and nondiabetic coronary heart disease patients: Insights from the German subset of the hospital arm of the EUROASPIRE IV and V surveys. Clin Res Cardiol 2023; 112:285-298. [PMID: 36166067 PMCID: PMC9898414 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-022-02093-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) with and without diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of recurrent events requiring multifactorial secondary prevention of cardiovascular risk factors. We compared prevalences of cardiovascular risk factors and its determinants including lifestyle, pharmacotherapy and diabetes mellitus among patients with chronic CHD examined within the fourth and fifth EUROASPIRE surveys (EA-IV, 2012-13; and EA-V, 2016-17) in Germany. METHODS The EA initiative iteratively conducts European-wide multicenter surveys investigating the quality of secondary prevention in chronic CHD patients aged 18 to 79 years. The data collection in Germany was performed during a comprehensive baseline visit at study centers in Würzburg (EA-IV, EA-V), Halle (EA-V), and Tübingen (EA-V). RESULTS 384 EA-V participants (median age 69.0 years, 81.3% male) and 536 EA-IV participants (median age 68.7 years, 82.3% male) were examined. Comparing EA-IV and EA-V, no relevant differences in risk factor prevalence and lifestyle changes were observed with the exception of lower LDL cholesterol levels in EA-V. Prevalence of unrecognized diabetes was significantly lower in EA-V as compared to EA-IV (11.8% vs. 19.6%) while the proportion of prediabetes was similarly high in the remaining population (62.1% vs. 61.0%). CONCLUSION Between 2012 and 2017, a modest decrease in LDL cholesterol levels was observed, while no differences in blood pressure control and body weight were apparent in chronic CHD patients in Germany. Although the prevalence of unrecognized diabetes decreased in the later study period, the proportion of normoglycemic patients was low. As pharmacotherapy appeared fairly well implemented, stronger efforts towards lifestyle interventions, mental health programs and cardiac rehabilitation might help to improve risk factor profiles in chronic CHD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the association between alterations in regular physical activity (PA) and the risk of developing AF in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the optimal PA range based on energy expenditure. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a nationwide database, subjects who underwent health examinations twice at a 2-year interval between 2009 and 2012 were studied. After 1,815,330 patients with T2DM who did not have a history of AF were identified, they were followed until 2018. Regular PA alterations over time were used to divide individuals into four groups: persistent nonexercisers (n = 1,181,837), new exercisers (n = 242,968), exercise dropouts (n = 225,124), and exercise maintainers (n = 165,401). RESULTS During a mean follow-up period of 5.6 ± 1.3 years, 46,589 cases (2.6%) of new-onset AF occurred. Compared with the persistent nonexerciser group, both the exercise dropout group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.96, 95% CI 0.94-0.99) and new exerciser group (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.93-0.98) had lower risks of incident AF. The exercise maintainer group showed the lowest risk (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.89-0.94). When we stratified patients with T2DM according to energy expenditure, undergoing regular PA with ≥1,500 MET-min/week in new exercisers and ≥1,000 MET-min/week in exercise maintainers was associated with lower risks of incident AF than nonexercisers. CONCLUSIONS In patients with T2DM, starting and maintaining regular PA were both associated with lower risk of incident AF. Optimal PA ranges based on energy expenditure, which were associated with lower risks of incident AF, can be defined.

Association between composite lifestyle factors and cardiometabolic multimorbidity in Chongqing, China: A cross-sectional exploratory study in people over 45 years and older. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1118628. [PMID: 36817881 PMCID: PMC9929179 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1118628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Modifiable lifestyle factors are considered key to the control of cardiometabolic diseases. This study aimed to explore the association between multiple lifestyle factors and cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Methods A total of 14,968 participants were included in this cross-sectional exploratory study (mean age 54.33 years, range 45-91; 49.6% male). Pearson's Chi-square test, logistic regression, and latent class analysis were employed. Results We found that men with 4-5 high-risk lifestyle factors had a 2.54-fold higher risk (95% CI: 1.60-4.04) of developing multimorbidity compared to males with zero high-risk lifestyle factors. In an analysis of dietary behavior, we found that in women compared to men, over-eating (OR = 1.94, P < 0.001) and intra-meal water drinking (OR = 2.15, P < 0.001) were more likely to contribute to the development of cardiometabolic multimorbidity. In an analysis of taste preferences, men may be more sensitive to the effect of taste preferences and cardiometabolic multimorbidity risk, particularly for smoky (OR = 1.71, P < 0.001), hot (OR = 1.62, P < 0.001), and spicy (OR = 1.38, P < 0.001) tastes. Furthermore, "smoking and physical activity" and "physical activity and alcohol consumption" were men's most common high-risk lifestyle patterns. "Physical activity and dietary intake" were women's most common high-risk lifestyle patterns. A total of four common high-risk dietary behavior patterns were found in both males and females. Conclusions This research reveals that the likelihood of cardiometabolic multimorbidity increases as high-risk lifestyle factors accumulate. Taste preferences and unhealthy dietary behaviors were found to be associated with an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic multimorbidity and this association differed between genders. Several common lifestyle and dietary behavior patterns suggest that patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity may achieve better health outcomes if those with certain high-risk lifestyle patterns are identified and managed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether nailfold capillary images, acquired using video capillaroscopy, can provide diagnostic information about diabetes and its complications. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Nailfold video capillaroscopy was performed in 120 adult patients with and without type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and with and without cardiovascular disease. Nailfold images were analyzed using convolutional neural networks, a deep learning technique. Cross-validation was used to develop and test the ability of models to predict five5 prespecified states (diabetes, high glycosylated hemoglobin, cardiovascular event, retinopathy, albuminuria, and hypertension). The performance of each model for a particular state was assessed by estimating areas under the receiver operating characteristics curves (AUROC) and precision recall curves (AUPR). RESULTS A total of 5236 nailfold images were acquired from 120 participants (mean 44 images per participant) and were all available for analysis. Models were able to accurately identify the presence of diabetes, with AUROC 0.84 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.76, 0.91) and AUPR 0.84 (95% CI 0.78, 0.93), respectively. Models were also able to predict a history of cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes, with AUROC 0.65 (95% CI 0.51, 0.78) and AUPR 0.72 (95% CI 0.62, 0.88) respectively. CONCLUSIONS This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the potential of machine learning for identifying people with microvascular capillary changes from diabetes based on nailfold images, and for possibly identifying those most likely to have diabetes-related complications.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to prospective investigate the association between cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) with dementia, and to examine whether genetic factors and CMDs jointly contribute to the incidence of dementia. Methods We used data from the UK biobank of 204,646 adults aged 37-73 free of dementia at baseline. Genetic risk for dementia including APOE ε4 status and polygenic risk score (PRS) categorized as low, intermediate, and high. CMDs including ischemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, and type 2 diabetes (T2D) were confirmed by touchscreen questionnaires, medical examinations, and hospital inpatient records. Results Over the follow-up (median: 12.5 years), 5,750 participants developed dementia. The HRs (95% CI) of those with APOE ε4 carriers and high PRS were 3.16 (3.00-3.33) and 1.50 (1.41-1.60), respectively. The risk of dementia was 70% higher among those with CMDs (HR: 1.70; 95% CI: 1.60-1.82). In joint effect analyses, compared to no CMDs and APOE ε4 non-carriers, the HRs (95% CIs) of dementia were 3.53 (3.31-3.76)/2.06 (1.89-2.23) in participants with only APOE ε4 carriers and CMDs, and 5.06 (4.64-5.53) for those with APOE ε4 carriers plus CMDs. Compared to no CMDs and low PRS, the HRs (95% CIs) of dementia were 1.29 (1.19-1.40)/1.60 (1.48-1.73) in participants with only intermediate and high PRS, and 2.00 (1.79-2.23)/2.63 (2.38-2.92) for those with intermediate, and high PRS plus CMDs. Moreover, there were significant additive and multiplication interactions between CMDs and APOE ε4 carriers of dementia, but only multiplication interaction was observed for PRS. Conclusions CMDs were associated with higher risk of dementia regardless of genetic risk for dementia.

Abstract
Cardiovascular complications are the main cause of morbidity and mortality from diabetes. Herein, vascular inflammation is a major pathological manifestation. We previously characterized the cardiac microvascular inflammatory phenotype in diabetic patients and highlighted micro-RNA 92a (miR-92a) as a driver of endothelial dysfunction. In this article, we further dissect the molecular underlying of these findings by addressing anti-inflammatory Krüppel-like factors 2 and 4 (KLF2 and KLF4). We show that KLF2 dysregulation in diabetes correlates with greater monocyte adhesion as well as migratory defects in cardiac microvascular endothelial cells. We also describe, for the first time, a role for myocyte enhancer factor 2D (MEF2D) in cardiac microvascular dysfunction in diabetes. We show that both KLFs 2 and 4, as well as MEF2D, are dysregulated in human and porcine models of diabetes. Furthermore, we prove a direct interaction between miR-92a and all three targets. Altogether, our data strongly qualify miR-92a as a potential therapeutic target for diabetes-associated cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multimorbidity is a concern for people living with cancer, as over 90% have at least one other condition. Multimorbidity complicates care coming from multiple providers who work within separate, siloed systems. Information describing high-risk and high-cost disease combinations has potential to improve the experience, outcome, and overall cost of care by informing comprehensive care management frameworks. This study aimed to identify disease combinations among people with cancer and other conditions, and to assess the health burden associated with those combinations to help healthcare providers more effectively prioritize and coordinate care. METHODS We used a population-based retrospective cohort design including adults with a cancer diagnosis between March-2003 and April-2013, followed-up until March 2018. We used observed disease combinations defined by level of multimorbidity and partitive (k-means) clusters, ie groupings of similar diseases based on the prevalence of each condition. We assessed disease combination-associated health burden through health service utilization, including emergency department visits, primary care visits and hospital admissions during the follow-up period. RESULTS 549,248 adults were included in the study. Anxiety, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and osteoarthritis co-occurred with cancer 1.1 to 5.3 times more often than expected by chance. Disease combinations varied by cancer type and age but were similar between sexes. The largest partitive cluster included cancer and anxiety, with at least 25% of individuals also having osteoarthritis. Cancer also tended to co-occur with hypertension (8.0%) or osteoarthritis (6.2%). There were differences between clusters in healthcare utilization, regardless of the number of disease combinations or clustering approach used. CONCLUSION Researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and other stakeholders can use the clustering information presented here to improve the healthcare system for people with cancer multimorbidity by developing cluster-specific care management and clinical guidelines for common disease combinations.

Household air pollution, adherence to a healthy lifestyle, and risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity: Results from the China health and retirement longitudinal study. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 855:158896. [PMID: 36150596 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.158896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The adverse health effects of household air pollution have been widely explored, but few studies have evaluated the effects of household air pollution on the risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), a pressing public health concern worldwide. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether exposure to household use of polluting fuels is associated with morbid CMM and, if so, whether a healthy lifestyle could mitigate this association. METHODS In this prospective, nationwide representative cohort of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), participants free of CMM (defined as the coexistence of 2 or more of the following: heart disease, stroke, and diabetes or high blood sugar) were included in 2011-2012 and followed for CMM incidence until 2018. Household air pollution was measured as the use of solid fuels for cooking and heating. The healthy lifestyle score was determined by six factors, physical activity, smoking, body mass index, total cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure, and categorized into three groups (unhealthy, 0-1 factors; intermediate, 2-4; and healthy, 5-6). Cox proportional hazards models investigated associations between household air pollution and incident CMM. The potential modifier effect of a healthy lifestyle score was tested through stratified analyses. RESULTS Among 7125 eligible participants, 239 incident cases of CMM were identified over a median follow-up of 7.0 years. After adjustment for potential confounders, the use of solid household fuels for heating was associated with more significant hazards of CMM (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.71, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.28 to 2.28), while use for cooking (HR, 1.14; 95 % CI, 0.85 to 1.52) was not. Compared with participants in the unhealthy group, those in the healthy and intermediate groups had considerably lower CMM risk, with adjusted HRs (95 % CI) of 0.17 (0.09 to 0.31) and 0.39 (0.29 to 0.53), respectively, regardless of the household air pollution category. Importantly, when participants adhered to a healthy lifestyle, exposure to household air pollution was no longer significantly associated with a higher risk of CMM (adjusted HR 1.77, 95 % CI 0.51 to 6.12; P = 0.369). CONCLUSIONS Household usage of polluting fuels was significantly associated with a higher risk of CMM, and adherence to a healthy lifestyle may mitigate this adverse effect. From a broader perspective, our findings underscore the importance of public health policies and interventions targeting multiple exposures (air pollution, physical activity, smoking, etc.) in enhancing the prevention of detrimental cardiometabolic health effect.

Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity Associated with Moderate and Severe Disabilities: Results from the Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health (SAGE) Wave 2 in Ghana and South Africa. Glob Heart 2023; 18:9. [PMID: 36874442 PMCID: PMC9983501 DOI: 10.5334/gh.1188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Integrated management of cardiometabolic diseases is crucial in improving the quality of life of older persons. The objective of the study was to identify clusters of cardiometabolic multimorbidity associated with moderate and severe disabilities in Ghana and South Africa. Methods Data were from the World Health Organization (WHO) study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) Wave-2 (2015) conducted in Ghana and South Africa. We analysed the clustering of cardiometabolic diseases including angina, stroke, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension with unrelated conditions such as asthma, chronic lung disease, arthritis, cataracts, and depression. The WHO Disability Assessment Instrument version 2.0 was used to assess functional disability. We used latent class analysis to calculate the multimorbidity classes and disability severity levels. Ordinal logistic regression was used to identify the clusters of multimorbidity associated with moderate and severe disabilities. Results Data from 4,190 adults aged over 50 years were analysed. The prevalence of moderate and severe disabilities was 27.0% and 8.9% respectively. Four latent classes of multimorbidity were identified. These included a relatively healthy group with minimal cardiometabolic multimorbidity (63.5%), general and abdominal obesity (20.5%), hypertension, abdominal obesity, diabetes, cataracts, and arthritis (10.0%), and angina, chronic lung disease, asthma, and depression (6.0%). Compared to the participants with minimal cardiometabolic multimorbidity, the odds of moderate and severe disabilities were higher among participants with multimorbidity comprising hypertension, abdominal obesity, diabetes, cataract and arthritis [aOR = 3.0; 95% CI 1.6 to 5.6], and those with angina, chronic lung disease, asthma and depression [aOR = 2.7; 95% CI 1.6 to 4.5]. Conclusions Cardiometabolic diseases among older persons in Ghana and South Africa cluster in distinct multimorbidity patterns that are significant predictors of functional disabilities. This evidence may be useful for defining disability prevention strategies and long-term care for older persons living with or at risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity in sub-Saharan Africa.

Diabetes Obes Metab 2023; 25:166-176. [PMID: 36057779 PMCID: PMC10087851 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
AIM To compare treatment effect sizes between a composite kidney outcome (CKO) and three-point major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE-3) outcomes with use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), and to investigate the relationship between treatment effects on CKO and MACE-3 in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a MEDLINE database search up to December 31, 2021 to identify all placebo-controlled Phase 3 trials which investigated the efficacy of glucose-lowering interventions, and selected those reporting results for CKO and MACE-3. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for both outcomes were extracted for each trial, and we evaluated differences in treatment effect sizes by using a ratio of HRs (rHR): the HR for CKO to the HR for MACE-3. A random-effects meta-analysis was used to obtain the overall rHR across trials and according to subgroup. We investigated the relationship between treatment effects on CKO and MACE-3 using the coefficient of determination (R2 ) with weighted meta-regression. The study protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022299690). RESULTS A total of 12 studies fulfilled the prespecified criteria, and comprised a total of 104 987 patients with T2D. On average, treatment effect sizes were 17% greater for CKO than for MACE-3 (rHR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74 to 0.92; I2 = 50%; P = 0.03; τ2 = 0.0161), especially for trials of SGLT2 inhibitors compared with GLP-1RAs. For secondary outcomes, treatment effect size was 22%, 21%, 16% and 9% greater for CKO than for myocardial infarction, stroke, death from cardiovascular causes, and hospitalization for heart disease, respectively. MACE-3 and CKO were moderately correlated (ρ = 0.40; P = 0.21), and only 11% (95% CI 1% to 54%) of the variability in the MACE-3 effect could be explained by the variability in the CKO effect. CONCLUSION In T2D patients, treatment effect sizes were greater for kidney than for macrovascular (MACE-3) outcomes, with important differences according to the drugs considered. CKO and MACE-3 are independent. Caution must be taken when interpreting CKO in the absence of MACE-3 data.

Abstract
The activation of stress-related neuroendocrine systems helps to maintain homeostasis, but excessive stress can damage body functions. We review current evidence from basic sciences and epidemiology linking stress to the development and progression of metabolic disorders throughout life. Findings from rodents demonstrate that stress can affect features of metabolic dysfunction, such as insulin resistance, glucose and lipid homeostasis, as well as ageing processes such as cellular senescence and telomere length shortening. In human studies, stressors in the home, workplace and neighbourhood are associated with accelerated ageing and metabolic and immune alterations, both directly and indirectly via behavioural risks. The likelihood of developing clinical conditions, such as diabetes mellitus and hepatic steatosis is increased in individuals with adverse childhood experiences or long-term (years) or severe stress at work or in private life. The increased risk of metabolic disorders is often associated with other stress-related conditions, such as mental health disorders, cardiovascular disease and increased susceptibility to infections. Equally, stress can worsen prognosis in metabolic diseases. As favourable modifications in stressors are associated with reductions in incidence of metabolic disorders, further investigation of the therapeutic value of targeting stress in personalized medicine is warranted.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, are established risk factors for dementia, but their combined impact has been investigated only recently. This study aimed to examine the association between mid- and late-life cardiometabolic multimorbidity and dementia and explore the role of genetic background in this association. METHODS AND RESULTS Within the Swedish Twin Registry, 17 913 dementia-free individuals aged ≥60 were followed for 18 years. CMDs [including age of onset in mid (60) or late (≥60) life] and dementia were ascertained from medical records. Cardiometabolic multimorbidity was defined as having ≥2 CMDs. Cox regression was used to estimate the CMD-dementia association in (i) a classical cohort study design and (ii) a co-twin study design involving 356 monozygotic and dizygotic pairs. By comparing the strength of the association in the two designs, the contribution of genetic background was estimated. At baseline, 3,312 (18.5%) participants had 1 CMD and 839 (4.7%) had ≥2 CMDs. Over the follow-up period, 3,020 participants developed dementia. In the classic cohort design, the hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of dementia was 1.42 (1.27-1.58) for 1 CMD and 2.10 (1.73-2.57) for ≥2 CMDs. Dementia risk was stronger with mid-life as opposed to late-life CMDs. In the co-twin design, the CMD-dementia association was attenuated among monozygotic [0.99 (0.50-1.98)] but not dizygotic [1.55 (1.15-2.09)] twins, suggesting that the association was in part due to genetic factors common to both CMDs and dementia. CONCLUSION Cardiometabolic multimorbidity, particularly in mid-life, is associated with an increased risk of dementia. Genetic background may underpin this association.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a fast-growing public health problem and predisposes to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a significant proportion of patients. Metabolic alterations might underlie the progression of NAFLD to HCC, but the magnitudes of risk and population-attributable risk fractions (PAFs) for various metabolic conditions that are associated with HCC risk in patients with NAFLD are unknown. We investigated the associations between metabolic conditions and HCC development in individuals with a prior history of NAFLD. The study included 11,245 participants in the SEER-Medicare database, comprising 1310 NAFLD-related HCC cases and 9835 NAFLD controls. We excluded individuals with competing liver diseases (e.g., alcoholic liver disease and chronic viral hepatitis). Baseline pre-existing diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and metabolic syndrome were assessed. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). PAFs were also calculated for each metabolic condition. The results show that diabetes (OR = 2.39, 95% CI: 2.04-2.79), metabolic syndrome (OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.49-2.01), and obesity (OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.43-1.85) were associated with a higher HCC risk in individuals with NAFLD. The highest PAF for HCC was observed for pre-existing diabetes (42.1%, 95% CI: 35.7-48.5), followed by metabolic syndrome (28.8%, 95% CI: 21.7-35.9) and obesity (13.2%, 95% CI: 9.6-16.8). The major predisposing factors for HCC in individuals with NAFLD are diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, and their control would be critically important in mitigating the rising incidence of NAFLD-related HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression has been acknowledged as a risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases, but its role in the development of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CM) remains unclear. We aimed to prospectively investigate how depression affected the development of CM based on the UK Biobank study. METHODS We included 459,747 participants with none or one prior cardiometabolic disease. Depression was assessed by the clinical diagnosis and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2). CM was defined as the coexistence of two or more conditions of type 2 diabetes, stroke, and coronary heart disease (CHD). Multistate models were used to examine the role of depression in the transitions from baseline to single cardiometabolic diseases and subsequently to CM. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.07 years, we documented 3413 incident CM cases among initially disease-free participants and 7461 cases among participants with one prior cardiometabolic disease, respectively. The hazard of developing CM associated with depression was higher among disease-free individuals than that among individuals with one cardiometabolic disease (HR, 95 % CI: 1.68, 1.54-1.83 vs 1.28, 1.20-1.35). Moreover, depression was significantly associated with all transitions from baseline to diabetes (HR, 95 % CI: 1.43, 1.37-1.50), stroke (1.28, 1.20-1.38), and CHD (1.35, 1.31-1.40). After the onset of these cardiometabolic diseases, the HR values (95 % CIs) of progression to CM were 1.26 (1.09-1.46) for diabetes, 1.43 (1.16-1.76) for stroke, and 1.23 (1.08-1.40) for CHD. CONCLUSIONS Depression was an independent risk factor for CM, and adversely influenced the whole progression from disease-free status to CM.

Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14245325. [PMID: 36558484 PMCID: PMC9788379 DOI: 10.3390/nu14245325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Effective nutrition therapy is a pressing issue in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. As such, this research aimed to determine the performance of a revised dietary strategy built on the protein-sparing diet in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus with regard to obtaining a rapid and stable improvement in glucometabolic control, body weight, body composition, and energy metabolism when applying the strategy in just twenty-one days. The revised protein-sparing diet differs from the traditional protein-sparing modified fast (PSMF) because it does not include foods. The daily calorie intake of this diet is exclusively derived from Isolate whey protein in addition to a formulation of Isolate whey protein enriched with essential amino acids in free form, with the addition of lipids such as extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil as a source of medium chain fatty acids, where the latter is taken for only the first four days of the diet, together with the use, for the same duration, of extended-release metformin, as the only antihyperglycemic allowed. Anthropometric measurements, bioimpedance analysis, indirect calorimetry, and blood chemistry assessments were conducted at the beginning of the study, time 0 (T0), and at the end, time 1 (T1), i.e., on the 21st day. The main outcomes of the revised protein-sparing diet after only twenty-one days were a reduction in body weight with the predominant loss of visceral atherogenic abdominal fat and, therefore, a possible contextual reduction in ectopic fat deposits together with a simultaneous reduction in insulin resistance and normalization of insulin levels, maintenance of free fat mass and basal metabolism, restoration of metabolic flexibility, and improvement of the glucometabolic and lipidic parameters. These results demonstrate the promising potential of the revised protein-sparing diet as an "etiologic tool" in the integrated nutritional treatment of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:276. [PMID: 36494812 PMCID: PMC9738029 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01715-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are two complex diseases with complex interrelationships. However, the genetic architecture of the two diseases is often studied independently by the individual single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) approach. Here, we presented a genotypic-phenotypic framework for deciphering the genetic architecture underlying the disease patterns of CHD and T2D. METHOD A data-driven SNP-set approach was performed in a genome-wide association study consisting of subpopulations with different disease patterns of CHD and T2D (comorbidity, CHD without T2D, T2D without CHD and all none). We applied nonsmooth nonnegative matrix factorization (nsNMF) clustering to generate SNP sets interacting the information of SNP and subject. Relationships between SNP sets and phenotype sets harboring different disease patterns were then assessed, and we further co-clustered the SNP sets into a genetic network to topologically elucidate the genetic architecture composed of SNP sets. RESULTS We identified 23 non-identical SNP sets with significant association with CHD or T2D (SNP-set based association test, P < 3.70 × [Formula: see text]). Among them, disease patterns involving CHD and T2D were related to distinct SNP sets (Hypergeometric test, P < 2.17 × [Formula: see text]). Accordingly, numerous genes (e.g., KLKs, GRM8, SHANK2) and pathways (e.g., fatty acid metabolism) were diversely implicated in different subtypes and related pathophysiological processes. Finally, we showed that the genetic architecture for disease patterns of CHD and T2D was composed of disjoint genetic networks (heterogeneity), with common genes contributing to it (pleiotropy). CONCLUSION The SNP-set approach deciphered the complexity of both genotype and phenotype as well as their complex relationships. Different disease patterns of CHD and T2D share distinct genetic architectures, for which lipid metabolism related to fibrosis may be an atherogenic pathway that is specifically activated by diabetes. Our findings provide new insights for exploring new biological pathways.

Protective effect of ischaemic postconditioning combined with nicorandil on myocardial ischaemia‒reperfusion injury in diabetic rats. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2022; 22:518.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The diabetic heart exhibits a high sensitivity to ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Diabetes mellitus (DM) can affect the efficacy of cardioprotective interventions and reduce the therapeutic potential of existing treatment options. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of shifting from monotherapy to combination therapy in diabetic myocardial I/R injury. METHODS 6-8 week rats were randomized into 10 groups: sham, I/R, ischaemia postconditioning (I-Post), nicorandil (Nic), combination therapy (I-Post + Nic), DM sham, DM I/R, DM I-Post, DM Nic and DM I-Post + Nic. The extent of myocardial injury was clarified by measuring CK-MB and NO levels in plasma, ROS content in myocardial tissues, and TTC/Evans Blue staining to assess the area of myocardial infarction. Pathological staining of cardiac tissue sections were performed to clarify the structural changes in myocardial histopathology. Finally, Western blotting was performed to detect the phosphorylation levels of some key proteins in the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway in myocardial tissues. RESULTS We confirms that myocardial injury in diabetic I/R rats remained at a high level after treatment with I-Post or nicorandil alone. I-Post combined with nicorandil showed better therapeutic effects in diabetic I/R rats, and the combined treatment further reduced the area of myocardial injury in diabetic I/R rats compared with I-Post or nicorandil treatment alone (P < 0.001), as well as the levels of the myocardial injury markers CK-MB and ROS (P < 0.001); it also significantly increased plasma NO levels. Pathological staining also showed that diabetic rats benefited significantly from the combination therapy. Further mechanistic studies confirmed this finding. The protein phosphorylation levels of PI3K/Akt signalling pathway in the heart tissue of diabetic I/R rats were significantly higher after the combination treatment than after one treatment alone (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION I-Post combined with nicorandil treatment maintains effective cardioprotection against diabetic myocardial I/R injury by activating the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway.

Abstract
Background Since the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), heart failure coexisting with it has had a significant impact on clinical management and prognosis. Patients with T2DM and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) have increased mortality and morbidity. Empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, is widely acknowledged to reduce cardiovascular risk in T2DM patients. We wanted to assess the composite outcomes of heart failure, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization following the start of empagliflozin therapy in the Saudi population. Methods This is a retrospective observational study conducted at King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital-Jeddah. We included patients aged 18 or older, male or female, with T2DM with HFrEF <40% and with a risk of cardiovascular events who were treated with empagliflozin 25 mg once daily as combination therapy and patients using other diabetic agents without empagliflozin as the comparative group. Results A total of 195 patients with T2DM and HFrEF who were at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) events were included in the study. Regarding gender, most of the patients (82.1%) were male with an average age of 61.28 ± 9.92. The patients were divided into 71 individuals who received empagliflozin and 124 who did not. When comparing the surgical procedure and comorbid status of the patients, coronary artery bypass graft (1.4%), coronary artery disease (5.6%), dyslipidemia (5.6%), and ischemic cardiomyopathy (0%) were found compared to the non-empagliflozin group. Meanwhile, hypertension was found to be 71.8% and ischemic heart disease was 50.7% in empagliflozin patients. Furthermore, only dyslipidemia differed significantly (p <0.001) between the empagliflozin and non-empagliflozin groups of patients. However, no significant differences were observed between the average low-density lipoprotein (p = 0.990) and high-density lipoprotein (p = 0.399). There was no significant difference observed in the primary outcome of CV deaths or hospital admission of patients between empagliflozin and non-empagliflozin. No deaths were reported in either of the comparative groups in our study. Conclusion In this study, there was no significant difference observed in hospital admission of the patients between the empagliflozin and non-empagliflozin groups. No cardiovascular mortality was reported in the study population. Further matched group comparative studies or placebo-controlled studies are required to compare the existing evidence of the impact of empagliflozin on T2DM patients with HFrEF and at high risk for CV deaths or hospital admission.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multiple trials on sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitors have been performed recently demonstrating blood pressure (BP) reduction benefits in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Hence, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effect of different SGLT inhibitors on BP in both patients with and without diabetes mellitus. METHODS Four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and SCOPUS) were searched on 4 November 2021 for articles published from 1 January 2000 up to 21 November 2021, for studies evaluating the BP effects of SGLT inhibitors. Pair-wise meta-analysis and random effects metaregression models were utilized. RESULTS In total, 111 studies examining SBP (108 studies, 104 304 patients) and/or DBP (82 studies, 74 719 patients) were included. In patients with diabetes, the random effects model demonstrated SGLT inhibitor produced a mean reduction in SBPs of -3.46 mmHg (95% confidence interval: -3.83, -3.09) compared with placebo. There were no statistically significant changes in BP among patients without diabetes. Drug response relationship was not observed in SGLT inhibitors and BP, except for Canagliflozin and DBP. CONCLUSION Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and combined sodium-glucose cotransporter 1/2 inhibitors produced small reductions in BP in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Objectives: Glyceraldehyde-derived advanced glycation end-products (Glycer-AGEs) have a strong binding affinity for their cognate receptor and elicit oxidative stress and inflammation. However, it remains unknown whether the levels of Glycer-AGEs correlate with the severity of cardiac function and heart failure in patients with diabetic adverse cardiac remodeling (DbCR). Fourteen heart failure patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) without other cardiac disorders (DbCR group) were enrolled. Another 14 patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) without DM were served as a control (DCM group). All patients were assessed for serum Glycer-AGEs, nitrotyrosine (NT), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and for plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was evaluated by echocardiography. Results: The mean serum levels of Glycer-AGEs, NT, and TNFα in the DbCR group were significantly higher than those in the DCM group (for Glycer-AGEs, p = .0073; for NT, p = .005; for TNFα, p < .0001, respectively). In the patients with DbCR, the levels of serum Glycer-AGEs and TNFα were closely associated with LVEF and BNP values. Conclusions: Both Glycer-AGEs and TNFα showed close associations with LVEF and the levels of BNP in patients with DbCR. Glycer-AGEs and TNFα may play a pathological role in the development of DbCR.

Abstract
Almond intake may be correlated with improvements in several cardiometabolic parameters, but its effects are controversial in the published literature, and it needs to be comprehensively summarized. We conducted a systematic search in several international electronic databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov until April 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials that examined the effects of almond consumption on cardiometabolic risk factors, inflammatory markers, and liver enzymes. Data were pooled using the random-effects model method and presented as standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Twenty-six eligible trials were analyzed (n = 1750 participants). Almond intake significantly decreased diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and very LDL (p < 0.05). The effects of almond intake on systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A1c, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, C-peptide, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, C-reactive protein (CRP), hs-CRP (high sensitivity C-reactive protein), interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor-α, ICAM (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule), VCAM (Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule), homocysteine, HDL, ox-LDL, ApoA1, ApoB, and lipoprotien-a were not statistically significant (p > .05). The current body of evidence supports the ingestion of almonds for their beneficial lipid-lowering and antihypertensive effects. However, the effects of almonds on antiinflammatory markers, glycemic control, and hepatic enzymes should be further evaluated via performing more extensive randomized trials.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a widely prevalent disease with substantial economic and social impact for which multiple conventional and novel pharmacotherapies are currently available; however, the landscape of T2D treatment is constantly changing as new therapies emerge and the understanding of currently available agents deepens. This review aims to provide an updated summary of the pharmacotherapeutic approach to T2D. Each class of agents is presented by mechanism of action, details of administration, side effect profile, cost, and use in certain populations including heart failure, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity, chronic kidney disease, and older individuals. We also review targets of novel therapeutic T2D agent development. Finally, we outline an up-to-date treatment approach that starts with identification of an individualized goal for glycemic control then selection, initiation, and further intensification of a personalized therapeutic plan for T2D.

Healthy lifestyle and life expectancy at age 30 years in the Chinese population: an observational study. Lancet Public Health 2022; 7:e994-e1004. [PMID: 35926549 PMCID: PMC7615002 DOI: 10.1016/s2468-2667(22)00110-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 10/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The improvement of life expectancy is one of the aims of the Healthy China 2030 blueprint. We aimed to investigate the extent to which healthy lifestyles are associated with life expectancy in Chinese adults. METHODS We used the prospective China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) study to examine the relative risk of mortality associated with individual and combined lifestyle factors (never smoking or quitting not for illness, no excessive alcohol use, being physically active, healthy eating habits, and healthy body shape). Participants with coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer, or missing values for body-mass index were excluded. For analysis of chronic respiratory diseases, participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma were excluded. We estimated the national prevalence of lifestyle factors using data from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance (CNHS; 2015) and derived mortality rates from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (2015). All three data sources were combined to estimate the life expectancy of individuals at age 30 years following different levels of lifestyle factors by using the life table method. The cause-specific decomposition of the life expectancy differences was analysed using Arriaga's method. FINDINGS After the exclusion of CKB participants with coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer, or missing BMI data at baseline, 487 209 were included in the primary analysis. Participants with COPD or asthma at baseline were additionally excluded for chronic respiratory disease-related analysis, leaving 451 233 participants with data available for analysis. Data from 171 127 adults aged 30-84 years from the CNHS 2015 were used to estimate the sex-specific and age-specific prevalence of lifestyle-related factors. There were 42 496 deaths documented over a median follow-up of 11·1 years (IQR 10·2-12·1) in CKB. The adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) of participants adopting five versus 0-1 low-risk factors was 0·38 (95% CI 0·34-0·43) for all-cause mortality, aHR 0·37 (0·30-0·46) for cardiovascular disease mortality, aHR 0·47 (0·39-0·56) for cancer mortality, and aHR 0·30 (0·14-0·64) for chronic respiratory disease mortality. The life expectancy at age 30 years for individuals with 0-1 low-risk factors was on average 41·7 years (95% CI 41·5-42·0) for men and 47·3 years (46·6-48·0) for women. For individuals with all five low-risk factors, the life expectancy at age 30 was 50·5 years (95% CI 48·5-52·4) for men and 55·4 years (53·5-57·4) for women; meaning a difference of 8·8 years (95% CI 6·8-10·7) for men and 8·1 years (6·5-9·9) for women. The estimated extended life expectancy for men and women was mainly attributable to reduced death from cardiovascular disease (2·4 years [27% of the total extended life expectancy] for men and 3·7 years [46%] for women), cancer (2·6 years [30%] for men and 0·9 years [11%] for women), and chronic respiratory disease (0·6 years [7%] for men and 1·2 years [15%] for women). INTERPRETATION Our findings suggest that increasing the adoption of these five healthy lifestyle factors through public health interventions could be associated with substantial gains in life expectancy in the Chinese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) has risen as a global issue of public health, with an in-creasing prevalence and more severe clinical prognosis. This study aimed to estimate the association between use of fish oil and mortality among patients with CMM. METHODS AND RESULTS In this prospective study based on UK Biobank, participants with ≥2 of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs, including coronary heart disease [CHD], diabetes, hypertension, and stroke in this study) at recruitment were included. Use of fish oil was derived from touchscreen questionnaires at baseline. All-cause and cardiovascular mortality were accessed via electronic health-related records. Kaplan-Meier curves and flexible parametric Royston-Parmar proportion-hazard models were fitted to assess the as-sociations of fish-oil use with all-cause, cardiovascular mortality, and related life expectancy alterations. Among 30 068 participants from UK Biobank (67.9% men; mean age 61.75 years), 5357 deaths were reported during 12.03 years of follow-up. For patients with CMM, use of fish oil was associated with a 17% lower risk of all-cause mortality (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.78-0.88, P < 0.001), and 19% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality (95% CI 0.72-0.90, P < 0.001) in multivariable-adjusted models. At 45 years old, using fish oil was associated with 1.66 years of life expectancy gained. CONCLUSION Among patients with CMM, use of fish oil was associated with a significantly reduced risk of all-cause, cardiovascular mortality, and prolonged life expectancy.

Quantifying differences in packaged food and drink purchases among households with diet-related cardiometabolic multi-morbidity: a cross-sectional analysis. BMC Public Health 2022; 22:2101. [PMID: 36397061 PMCID: PMC9670385 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-022-14626-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diet is important for chronic disease management, with limited research understanding dietary choices among those with multi-morbidity, the state of having 2 or more chronic conditions. The objective of this study was to identify associations between packaged food and drink purchases and diet-related cardiometabolic multi-morbidity (DRCMM). METHODS Cross-sectional associations between packaged food and drink purchases and household DRCMM were investigated using a national sample of U.S. households participating in a research marketing study. DRCMM households were defined as household head(s) self-reporting 2 or more diet-related chronic conditions. Separate multivariable logistic regression models were used to model the associations between household DRCMM status and total servings of, and total calories and nutrients from, packaged food and drinks purchased per month, as well as the nutrient density (protein, carbohydrates, and fat per serving) of packaged food and drinks purchased per month, adjusted for household size. RESULTS Among eligible households, 3795 (16.8%) had DRCMM. On average, households with DRCMM versus without purchased 14.8 more servings per capita, per month, from packaged foods and drinks (p < 0.001). DRCMM households were 1.01 times more likely to purchase fat and carbohydrates in lieu of protein across all packaged food and drinks (p = 0.002, p = 0.000, respectively). DRCMM households averaged fewer grams per serving of protein, carbohydrates, and fat per month across all food and drink purchases (all p < 0.001). When carbonated soft drinks and juices were excluded, the same associations for grams of protein and carbohydrates per serving per month were seen (both p < 0.001) but the association for grams of fat per serving per month attenuated. CONCLUSIONS DRCMM households purchased greater quantities of packaged food and drinks per capita than non-DRCMM households, which contributed to more fat, carbohydrates, and sodium in the home. However, food and drinks in DRCMM homes on average were lower in nutrient-density. Future studies are needed to understand the motivations for packaged food and drink choices among households with DRCMM to inform interventions targeting the home food environment.

Medication non-adherence and therapeutic inertia independently contribute to poor disease control for cardiometabolic diseases. Sci Rep 2022; 12:18936. [PMID: 36344613 PMCID: PMC9640683 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-21916-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Poorly controlled cardiometabolic biometric health gap measures [e.g.,uncontrolled blood pressure (BP), HbA1c, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)] are mediated by medication adherence and clinician-level therapeutic inertia (TI). The study of comparing relative contribution of these two factors to disease control is lacking. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using 7 years of longitudinal electronic health records (EHR) from primary care cardiometabolic patients who were 35 years or older. Cox-regression modeling was applied to estimate how baseline proportion of days covered (PDC) and TI were associated with cardiometabolic related health gap closure. 92,766 patients were included in the analysis, among which 89.9%, 85.8%, and 73.3% closed a BP, HbA1c, or LDL-C gap, respectively, with median days to gap closure ranging from 223 to 408 days. Patients who did not retrieve a medication were the least likely to achieve biometric control, particularly for LDL-C (HR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.55-0.60). TI or uncertainty of TI was associated with a high risk of health gap persistence, particularly for LDL-C (HR ranges 0.46-0.48). Both poor medication adherence and TI are independently associated with persistent health gaps, and TI has a much higher impact on disease control compared to medication adherence, implying disease management strategies should prioritize reducing TI.

Abstract
Background The association between metabolic comorbidity and myocardial infarction (MI) among individuals with a family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is yet to be elucidated. We aimed to examine the combined effects of metabolic comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, with a family history of CVD in first-degree on the risk of incident MI. Methods This cohort study consisted of 81,803 participants aged 40–89 years without a previous history of MI at baseline from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study. We performed Cox proportional hazard regression analysis to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for MI and early-onset MI risk associated with metabolic comorbidity in individuals with a family history of CVD. Results During a median follow-up of 5 years, 1,075 and 479 cases of total and early-onset MI were reported, respectively. According to the disease score, among individuals who had a positive family history of CVD, the HRs for MI were 1.92 (95% CI: 1.47–2.51) in individuals with one disease, 2.75 (95% CI: 2.09–3.61) in those with two diseases, and 3.74 (95% CI: 2.45–5.71) in those with three diseases at baseline compared to individuals without a family history of CVD and metabolic diseases. Similarly, an increase of the disease score among individuals with a positive family history of CVD was associated with an increase in early-onset MI risk. Conclusion Metabolic comorbidity was significantly associated with an increased risk of MI among individuals with a family history of CVD.
