A comparative cross-sectional study on the quality of life in Grave's disease patients: urban vs. rural perspectives. Front Public Health 2024; 12:1345803. [PMID: 39234091 PMCID: PMC11371591 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1345803] [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: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Grave's disease affects numerous patients globally, but its impact on health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in relation to geographical disparities remains under-explored. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the influence of urban versus rural residence on HR-QoL among patients diagnosed with Graves' Disease in Rajasthan, India. One hundred seven Graves' disease patients from rural and urban endocrine centers were analyzed. The rural group included 52 patients (24 males, 28 females), averaging 38.9 ± 10.9 years of age, while the urban group had 55 (13 males, 42 females) with an average age of 39.1 ± 14.2 years. We found differences between rural and urban patients in terms of gender ratio, BMI, smoking habits, and obesity. Multivariable linear regression was used in both groups to determine the association between the baseline characteristics of Graves' patients from both areas and HR-QOL. Health-related quality of life, assessed via the SF-36 questionnaire, indicated higher general health and role emotional scores among urban patients. Our study found that the duration of Graves' disease in rural centers negatively impacted physical health scores. In urban patients, age and BMI influenced physical health, while gender and disease duration affected mental health scores in rural patients. Age impacted mental health in urban patients. Rural patients had a poorer quality of life compared to urban patients. Differences in gender distribution, BMI, smoking habits, and obesity rates revealed disparities in Graves' disease between rural and urban patients in India, highlighting the need for better healthcare infrastructure and awareness in rural areas.

[PMID: 39143378 PMCID: PMC11324791 DOI: 10.1038/s42003-024-06680-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
While circulating metabolites and immune system have been increasingly linked to hypothyroidism risk, the causality underlying these associations remains largely uninterrogated. We used Mendelian randomization to identified putative causal traits for hypothyroidism via integrating omics data. Briefly, we utilized 1180 plasma metabolites and 731 immune cells traits as exposures to identify putatively causal traits for hypothyroidism in the discovery (40,926 cases) and replication cohorts (14,871 cases). By combining MR results from two large-scale cohorts, we ultimately identified 21 putatively causal traits, including five plasma metabolites and 16 immune cell traits. CD3 on CD28+ CD4+ T cell and 1-(1-enyl-palmitoyl)-2-oleoyl-GPE (p-16:0/18:1) demonstrated the most pronounced positive and negative associations with hypothyroidism risk, respectively. The odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were 1.09 (1.07, 1.12) and 0.81 (0.75, 0.87), respectively. No evidence of horizontal pleiotropy, heterogeneity among instrumental variables or reverse causation were found for these 21 significant associations. Our study elucidates key metabolites and immune cell traits associated with hypothyroidism. These findings provide new insights into the etiology and potential therapeutic targets for hypothyroidism.
