Office measurement vs. ambulatory blood pressure monitoring: associations with mortality in patients with or without diabetes. Eur Heart J 2024; 45:2851-2861. [PMID: 38847237 PMCID: PMC11328865 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehae337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Guidelines suggest similar blood pressure (BP) targets in patients with and without diabetes and recommend ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) to diagnose and classify hypertension. It was explored whether different levels of ambulatory and office BP and different hypertension phenotypes associate with differences of risk in diabetes and no diabetes. METHODS This analysis assessed outcome data from the Spanish ABPM Registry in 59 124 patients with complete available data. The associations between office, mean, daytime, and nighttime ambulatory BP with the risk in patients with or without diabetes were explored. The effects of diabetes on mortality in different hypertension phenotypes, i.e. sustained hypertension, white-coat hypertension, and masked hypertension, compared with normotension were studied. Analyses were done with Cox regression analyses and adjusted for demographic and clinical confounders. RESULTS A total of 59 124 patients were recruited from 223 primary care centres in Spain. The majority had an office systolic BP >140 mmHg (36 700 patients), and 23 128 (40.6%) patients were untreated. Diabetes was diagnosed in 11 391 patients (19.2%). Concomitant cardiovascular (CV) disease was present in 2521 patients (23.1%) with diabetes and 4616 (10.0%) without diabetes. Twenty-four-hour mean, daytime, and nighttime ambulatory BP were associated with increased risk in diabetes and no diabetes, while in office BP, there was no clear association with no differences with and without diabetes. While the relative association of BP to CV death risk was similar in diabetes compared with no diabetes (mean interaction P = .80, daytime interaction P = .97, and nighttime interaction P = .32), increased event rates occurred in diabetes for all ABPM parameters for CV death and all-cause death. White-coat hypertension was not associated with risk for CV death (hazard ratio 0.86; 95% confidence interval 0.72-1.03) and slightly reduced risk for all-cause death in no diabetes (hazard ratio 0.89; confidence interval 0.81-0.98) but without significant interaction between diabetes and no diabetes. Sustained hypertension and masked hypertension in diabetes and no diabetes were associated with even higher risk. There were no significant interactions in hypertensive phenotypes between diabetes and no diabetes and CV death risk (interaction P = .26), while some interaction was present for all-cause death (interaction P = .043) and non-CV death (interaction P = .053). CONCLUSIONS Diabetes increased the risk for all-cause death, CV, and non-CV death at every level of office and ambulatory BP. Masked and sustained hypertension confer to the highest risk, while white-coat hypertension appears grossly neutral without interaction of relative risk between diabetes and no diabetes. These results support recommendations of international guidelines for strict BP control and using ABPM for classification and assessment of risk and control of hypertension, particularly in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
The frequent concurrence of elevated blood pressure (BP) and type 2 diabetes markedly elevates the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. In this review, we discuss the evidence supporting the role of BP-lowering therapies in preventing cardiovascular events in people with type 2 diabetes and the most appropriate BP treatment target in these individuals. We outline possible reasons for the heterogeneous effect of BP lowering in patients with and without diabetes and consider several pathophysiological mechanisms that could potentially explain such differences. The review introduces a mediation model, delineating the intricate interplay between hypertension and diabetes and their joint contribution to cardiovascular and renal pathologies. Finally, we outline the role of lifestyle changes and other pharmacological options in attenuating cardiometabolic risks in patients with type 2 diabetes. We propose a comprehensive, patient-centred management strategy, integrating various antihypertensive therapeutic approaches and providing clinicians with a systematic framework for better decision-making.

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Among Chinese Hakka Individuals Aged 35-65 Years: A Cross-Sectional Study. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2024; 17:2725-2734. [PMID: 39072345 PMCID: PMC11282453 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s470998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The prevalence of diabetes in China is increasing, influenced by economic and genetic factors, with varying rates across regions. The Hakka population in Ganzhou city has unique exposures compared to surrounding districts, while limited research reported the epidemiological characteristics of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in this population. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of T2DM among the population, thereby establishing a robust foundation for disease prevention and control measures. Patients and Methods In 2017, a multistage random sampling method selected 3028 individuals from Ganzhou City's permanent resident population. Physical examinations, blood tests, and questionnaire surveys were conducted for data collection, with binary logistic regression analysis used to examine factors affecting T2DM prevalence. Results A total of 2978 valid samples were included in this study. The average age of the surveyed population was 52.83±7.88 years, comprising 966 males and 2012 females. The prevalence rates of T2DM were 11.8% and 12.9% in males and females, respectively, while the standardized prevalence rate was recorded as 9.1%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that age (Odds Ratio[OR]=1.05, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]:1.03-1.06), hypertension (OR=2.22, 95% CI:1.71-2.93), family history of diabetes (OR= 3.54, 95% CI: 2.58-4.85), overweight (OR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.20-2.48), high total cholesterol (OR=1.17, 95% CI:1.09-1.27), elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR=1.19, 95% CI:1.00-1.40) and serum insulin (OR=1.05, 95% CI:1.03-1.06) were identified as significant risk factors for T2DM, Conversely, a higher level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR=0.55, 95% CI:0.36-0.84) was found to be inversely related to T2DM development. Conclusion The prevalence of T2DM in Ganzhou city has significantly increased. The effective implementation of comprehensive management strategies aimed at addressing hypertension, overweight, dyslipidemia, and abnormal serum insulin level is essential for promoting overall well-being and efficiently controlling the prevalence of T2DM.

Abstract
Both diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) have been on the rise in recent decades all over the world more remarkably in developing countries like India. We intend to measure the prevalence of DM and HTN in the Indian population and to compare the trends and various correlates of these diseases in NFHS (National Family Health Survey)-4 and 5. Data of NFHS-4 and 5 were accessed from dhs program website. All statistical analyses were done in SAS (version 9.4). Mixed effects survey logistic regression models were used for estimating odds ratio (OR).p-values <0.05 were considered significant .1,637,762 individual case entries were evaluated. Both the diseases showed an increasing trend as per the advancing age in both sexes. The highest prevalence of DM is seen in the age group of 45-49 years (7.8%) in females and > 50 years (11.9%) in males as per NFHS-5. Similarly, the highest prevalence of HTN was seen in the age group of45-49 years (31.2%) in females and > 50 years (41.4%) in males as per NFHS-5. The OR (95% CI) of prevalence of DM, HTN and both the diseases in age group >50 years was 14.46 (13.14-15.7), 16.65 (15.78-17.6), 79.5 (64.76-97.73) respectively when compared to reference age group15-19 years. Highest odds for having both DM, HTN concurrently was in age >50 years with aOR(95% CI) 65.32 (52.26-72.63) in NFHS 4 and 35.57 (97.47-45.53) in NFHS 5.Rise in prevalence of DM, HTN and concurrent presence is noted with an apparent increase in cases.

Metabolites 2024; 14:385. [PMID: 39057708 PMCID: PMC11278608 DOI: 10.3390/metabo14070385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Epidemiological studies have shown an association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS), but the potential causal relationship and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, we conducted a two-sample and two-step Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the association of T2D with CAVS and the mediating effects of circulating metabolites and blood pressure using genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was used for the primary MR analysis, and comprehensive sensitivity analyses were performed to validate the robustness of the results. Our results showed that genetically predicted T2D was associated with increased CAVS risk (OR 1.153, 95% CI 1.096-1.214, p < 0.001), and this association persisted even after adjusting for adiposity traits in multivariable MR analysis. Furthermore, the two-step MR analysis identified 69 of 251 candidate mediators that partially mediated the effect of T2D on CAVS, including total branched-chain amino acids (proportion mediated: 23.29%), valine (17.78%), tyrosine (9.68%), systolic blood pressure (8.72%), the triglyceride group (6.07-11.99%), the fatty acid group (4.78-12.82%), and the cholesterol group (3.64-11.56%). This MR study elucidated the causal impact of T2D on CAVS risk independently of adiposity and identified potential mediators in this association pathways. Our findings shed light on the pathogenesis of CAVS and suggest additional targets for the prevention and intervention of CAVS attributed to T2D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The link between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes has not been fully established. We investigated the temporal relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), quantitatively assessed the impact, and evaluated the related mediation effect. METHODS This study involved participants from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort Study and the UK Biobank. We performed cross-lagged path analysis to compare the relative magnitude of the effects between NAFLD and T2D using two-period biochemical data. Hepatic steatosis and fasting blood glucose elevation (FBG) represented NAFLD and T2D respectively. We fitted two separate Cox proportional-hazards models to evaluate the influence of hepatic steatosis on T2D. Furthermore, we applied the difference method to assess mediation effects. RESULTS In cross-lagged path analyses, the path coefficients from baseline hepatic steatosis to first repeat FBG (βCMEC = 0.068, βUK-Biobank = 0.033) were significantly greater than the path coefficients from baseline FBG to first repeat hepatic steatosis (βCMEC = 0.027, βUK-Biobank = -0.01). Individuals with hepatic steatosis have a risk of T2D that is roughly three times higher than those without the condition (HR = 3.478 [3.314, 3.650]). Hepatic steatosis mediated approximately 69.514% of the total effect between obesity and follow-up T2D. CONCLUSIONS Our findings contribute to determining the sequential relationship between NAFLD and T2D in the causal pathway, highlighting that the dominant pathway in the relationship between these two early stages of diseases was the one from hepatic steatosis to fasting blood glucose elevation. Individuals having NAFLD face a significantly increased risk of T2D and require long-term monitoring of their glucose status as well.

Abstract
Background Hypertensive emergencies represent high-cardiovascular-risk situations defined by severe increases in blood pressure. The prevalence of hypertension in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is higher compared to STEMI and there is a lack of studies on NSTEMI patients with hypertensive emergencies. Patients with diabetes exhibited a higher rate of hypertensive emergencies. This study's primary aim was to investigate the coronary artery disease profile in hypertensive emergency patients with NSTEMI, and the secondary aim was to determine the impact of diabetes on the development of hypertensive emergencies. Methodology A total of 100 patients with NSTEMI and hypertensive emergency presenting to the hospital were enrolled in the study. The duration of the study was 24 months. The patients were also sub-grouped into diabetic and nondiabetic. Baseline characteristics were noted, and coronary angiogram and renal angiogram were also done. Based on variables, the chi-square test and t-test were employed to assess the significance. P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The mean age at presentation for patients with NSTEMI and hypertensive emergency was 58 years. Patients consuming alcohol were slightly higher (28, 28%) than those who smoked (23, 23%). Among all, 48 (48%) patients had diabetes. When considering the number of vessels, diabetic patients had more single-vessel diseases (18, 37.5%) and nondiabetic patients had more double-vessel diseases (15, 28.8%). The mean ejection fraction of the diabetic group was 56.1% ± 6.8% and the nondiabetic group was 54.2% ± 7.7%. Among all the patients, 52 (62.6%) used combination drugs, while 39 (46.9%) were on defaulter drugs. Conclusions Several risk factors like age, smoking, alcohol, and nonadherence to drugs were found to have an association with the occurrence of hypertensive emergency. Diabetes was found to be significantly associated with unfavorable coronary anatomy among the population.

Comparison of incident hypertension between SGLT2 inhibitors vs. DPP4 inhibitors. Hypertens Res 2024; 47:1789-1796. [PMID: 38600275 PMCID: PMC11224012 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-024-01649-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Although several randomized clinical trials have reported the potential benefit of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in reducing blood pressure (BP), whether SGLT2i can reduce incident hypertension is unknown. We analyzed individuals with diabetes who were newly prescribed SGLT2i or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i) in a large-scale epidemiological database. The primary outcome was the incidence of hypertension. A propensity score matching algorithm was employed to compare the subsequent development of hypertension between the SGLT2i and DPP4i groups. After propensity score matching, 5708 well-balanced pairs of SGLT2i and DPP4i users were identified. SGLT2i administration was associated with a reduced risk of hypertension (HR 0.91, 95% CI: 0.84-0.97). The advantage of SGLT2i use over DPP4i use for incident hypertension was generally consistent in several sensitivity analyses, and subgroup analyses showed that SGLT2i use was significantly associated with a lower risk of hypertension in men, patients with baseline HbA1c of <7.5%, and baseline systolic blood pressure ≥127 mmHg. Our investigation using nationwide real-world data demonstrated the potential advantage of SGLT2i over DPP4i in reducing the development of hypertension in individuals with diabetes.

Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones is associated with different grades of hypertension: A multicenter cross-sectional study. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 34:1581-1589. [PMID: 38744581 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2023.12.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Accumulating evidence suggests a potential link between thyroid function with hypertension. However, the research results are limited, and there is no research to explore the relationship between central and peripheral thyroid hormones (THs) sensitivity and different grades of hypertension in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). This study aims to prove the complex interaction between thyroid system and blood pressure, and provides new ideas for the assessment of hypertension in patients with CHD. METHODS AND RESULTS Calculate parameters representing central and peripheral sensitivity to THs. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between central and peripheral THs sensitivity of CHD patients and different grades of hypertension, especially in different ages, sexes, blood glucose levels, smoking, and drinking statuses. Among the 34,310 participants, 19,610 (57.16 %) were diagnosed with hypertension. The risk of hypertension and TSHI (OR: 0.88; 95 % CI: 0.87-0.90; P < 0.001), TT4RI (OR: 0.998; 95 % CI: 0.998-0.999; P < 0.001), TFQI (OR: 0.63; 95 % CI: 0.60-0.67; P < 0.001), PTFQI (OR: 0.63; 95 % CI: 0.59-0.67; P < 0.001) was negatively associated. The risk of hypertension was positively associated with FT3/FT4 (OR: 1.20; 95 % CI: 1.17-1.22; P < 0.001). After stratified analysis, these associations remained significant at different ages, sexes, blood glucose levels, grades of hypertension, smoking, and drinking statuses (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that the decrease in central THs sensitivity index and the increase in peripheral THs sensitivity index are associated with a higher risk of hypertension in CHD patients.

Abstract
Raised blood sugar (hyperglycemia) is considered a strong indicator of prediabetes or diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common non-communicable diseases (NCDs) affecting the adult population. Recently, the prevalence of diabetes has been increasing at a faster rate, especially in developing countries. The primary concern associated with diabetes is the potential for serious health complications to occur if it is not diagnosed early. Therefore, timely detection and screening of diabetes is considered a crucial factor in treating and controlling the disease. Population screening for raised blood sugar aims to identify individuals at risk before symptoms appear, enabling timely intervention and potentially improved health outcomes. However, implementing large-scale screening programs can be expensive, requiring testing, follow-up, and management resources, potentially straining healthcare systems. Given the above facts, this paper presents supervised machine-learning models to detect and predict raised blood sugar. The proposed raised blood sugar models utilize diabetes-related risk factors including age, body mass index (BMI), eating habits, physical activity, prevalence of other diseases, and fasting blood sugar obtained from the dataset of the STEPwise approach to NCD risk factor study collected from adults in the Palestinian community. The diabetes risk factor obtained from the STEPS dataset was used as input for building the prediction model that was trained using various types of supervised learning classification algorithms including random forest, decision tree, Adaboost, XGBoost, bagging decision trees, and multi-layer perceptron (MLP). Based on the experimental results, the raised blood sugar models demonstrated optimal performance when implemented with a random forest classifier, yielding an accuracy of 98.4%. Followed by the bagging decision trees, XGBoost, MLP, AdaBoost, and decision tree with an accuracy of 97.4%, 96.4%, 96.3%, 95.2%, and 94.8%, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes, a health crisis afflicting millions worldwide, is increasing rapidly in prevalence. The microvascular complications triggered by diabetes have emerged as the principal cause of renal disease and blindness. The retinal microvascular network may be sensitive to early systemic vascular structural and functional changes. Therefore, this research endeavored to discern the systemic determinants influencing the retinal microvascular network in patients with and without diabetes. METHODS The Kailuan Eye Study is a cross-sectional study based on the community-based cohort Kailuan Study. Participants underwent optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) (Zeiss Cirrus 5000; Carl Zeiss Meditec) and comprehensive systemic examination. Metrics such as perfusion density (PD), vascular density (VD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) in the macula were assessed. RESULTS This study included 860 eligible participants (average age = 62.75 ± 6.52 years; 21.9% female), of which 449 were diabetics. People with diabetes had diminished PD and VD in the entire macular and parafoveal regions compared to people without diabetes. Reduced PD in the whole macular region was correlated with higher fasting plasma glucose (FPG, mmol/L) concentration (Beta = -0.19, 95% CI = -0.42 to -0.36, P < 0.001), longer axial length (AL, mm) (Beta = -0.13, 95%CI = -0.48 to -0.25, P = 0.002), and elevated heart rate (Beta = -0.10, 95%CI = -0.14 to -0.19, P = 0.014), after adjusting for younger age (Beta = -0.18, 95%CI = -0.24 to -0.35, P < 0.001), consistent with VD of the whole macular region. A higher FPG level was significantly correlated with lower SCP density of both PD and VD in the macular and parafoveal region (P < 0.05 for all), as well as increased systolic blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration (P < 0.01 for all). CONCLUSIONS In this large-sample cross-sectional study, OCTA evaluation revealed that high prevalence of diabetes and elevated FPG levels were correlated with reduced retinal VD and PD. Hypertension and hyperlipidemia are important risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease but have no significant effect on retinal microvascular abnormalities.

Abstract
Introduction Effective management of diabetes and hypertension requires a comprehensive approach, including dietary adjustments, physical activity, routine screening for complications, and adherence to medication. Proper adherence to pharmacotherapy is essential for maintaining glycemic control and managing blood pressure. Non-adherence can result in increased complications, higher healthcare costs, and greater morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the sociodemographic profile and medication adherence among adults with diabetes and hypertension, focusing on those undergoing treatment. The objective was to determine the extent of adherence and identify factors that influence adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension. Methods A community-based study was conducted on patients with T2DM and/or hypertension in both rural and urban areas of Bhopal, specifically those attending JK Hospital, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Participants were selected using a simple random sampling method. Medication adherence was assessed using the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), a validated tool for measuring patient adherence behavior. Results The study included 300 participants, of whom 68% (n=204) were male and 32% (n=96) were female. The average age of the participants was 57.52±10.3 years. Among the 300 patients, 9% (n=27) had high adherence to medication, 24.7% (n=74) had moderate adherence, and 66.3% (n=199) had low adherence. Conclusions Effective strategies must include targeted patient education on medication costs, side effects, and the long-term benefits of adherence. Integrating technological aids like smartphone apps may enhance adherence. Patients who adhere closely to their regimens are more likely to achieve better control over blood pressure and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, underscoring the critical importance of adherence in managing chronic conditions effectively.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, a disease that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, is increasing in prevalence in all age groups, including children and adolescents. Much of the morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes is closely related to hypertension, often coincident with diabetes. Comorbid hypertension and diabetes often worsen the outcomes of each other, likely rooted in some overlapping pathogenic mechanisms. In this educational review, we will discuss the shared pathophysiology of diabetes and hypertension, particularly in regard to inflammation and oxidative stress, the sympathetic nervous system, vascular remodeling, and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). We will also review current hypertension diagnosis and management guidelines from many international jurisdictions for both adult and paediatric populations in the setting of diabetes. Many of these guidelines highlight the use and utility of RAAS blockers in this clinical scenario; however, on review of the evidence for their use, several meta-analyses and systematic reviews fail to demonstrate superiority of RAAS blockers over other anti-hypertensive medications. Finally, we discuss several new anti-hypertensive medications, review their mechanisms of action, and highlight some of the evidence for their use in the setting of hypertension and diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM To explore the association of triglyceride glucose index-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and its dynamic changes with the risk of hypertension among middle-aged and older Chinese adults based on a large-sample prospective cohort study. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants over 45 years old and without a history of hypertension were included from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study registry. Data were collected in 2011 and followed up in 2015. TyG index and TyG-BMI were calculated as ln (triglyceride∗glucose/2) and TyG index∗BMI, respectively. We performed multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the relationship between the TyG index, TyG-BMI and their dynamic change and the risk of hypertension. In the analyses, 3885 participants were included. After 4 years of follow-up, 1705 (43.89 %) patients developed hypertension. Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjustments for all potential confounding factors, the highest tertile of baseline TyG index, baseline TyG-BMI, and the dynamic change in TyG-BMI were each associated with higher hypertension incidence than the lowest tertile: OR,1.38, 95 % CI, 1.17-1.63, OR,1.28, 95 % CI, 1.06-1.56, and OR, 1.26, 95 % CI, 1.07-1.48, respectively, whereas TyG index change was not. Moreover, the risk of hypertension increased with increasing levels of baseline TyG index (P for trend < 0.001), baseline TyG-BMI (P for trend = 0.013), and the dynamic change in TyG-BMI (P for trend = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS The baseline TyG index, baseline TyG-BMI, and the dynamic changes in TyG-BMI were significantly and positively associated with the risk of hypertension in Chinese adults older than 45 years.

Abstract
We theoretically know that metabolic disorders, including overweight/obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and relevant tissue/organ damage, play a critical role in elevating blood pressure and developing hypertension. However, staying abreast of the ever-evolving and current research on the various metabolic disorder topics is difficult. At the same time, as hypertension in childhood and adolescence is attracting significant attention globally, it is becoming increasingly evident that metabolic disorders exert an important role in its pathogenesis. In order to effectively prevent hypertension, it is essential to appropriately approach metabolic disorders, and importantly, this approach must be practiced continuously throughout all generations. Thus, focusing on metabolic disorders is the first and essential step in effectively managing and preventing hypertension. In this Mini-Review, we introduce cutting-edge research findings on "Metabolism," published in 2023 by Hypertension Research, and discuss relevant topics and therapeutic and future perspectives.

Abstract
AIMS Hypertension (HTN) and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) often coexist, therefore understanding the relationship between both diseases is imperative to guide targeted prevention/therapy. This study aims to explore the relationship between HTN and T2D using genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis and biochemical data to understand the implication of both clinical and genetic factors in these pathologies. METHODS A total of 2,876 patients were enrolled. Using GWAS and biochemical data, patients with both T2D and HTN were compared to patients with only HTN. Specificity was confirmed by testing the detected genetic variants for associations with HTN development in T2D patients, or with HTN in healthy subjects. Regression models were applied to examine the association of T2D in patients with HTN with cardiovascular risk factors. Replication was performed using UK Biobank dataset with 31,170 subjects. RESULTS Data showed that females with HTN are at higher risk of developing T2D due to dyslipidemia, while males faced higher risk due to high BMI (body mass index) and family history of T2D. GWAS identified Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to T2D in patients with HTN. Notably, rs7865889, rs7756992, and rs10896290 were positively associated with T2D, whereas rs12737517 yielded negative association. Three SNPs were replicated in the UK Biobank (rs10896290, rs7865889, and rs7756992). CONCLUSION Incorporating clinical and genetic screening into risk assessment is important for the detection and prevention of T2D in patients with HTN. The detected SNPs (rs7865889, rs12737517, and rs10896290), especially the protective SNP (rs12737517), provide an opportunity for better diagnosis, prevention, and therapy of patients with T2D and HTN.

BMC Public Health 2024; 24:1326. [PMID: 38755548 PMCID: PMC11100106 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-024-18802-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension prevalence among the overall US adult population has been relatively stable during the last two decades. However, whether this stabilization has occurred across rural-urban communities and across different geographic regions is unknown, particularly among older adults with diabetes who are likely to have concomitant cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS This serial cross-sectional analysis used the 5% national sample of Medicare administrative claims data (n = 3,516,541) to examine temporal trends (2005-2017) in diagnosed hypertension among older adults with diabetes, across urban-rural communities and US census regions (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West). Joinpoint regression was used to obtain annual percent change (APC) in hypertension prevalence across rural-urban communities and geographic regions, and multivariable adjusted regression was used to assess associations between rural-urban communities and hypertension prevalence. RESULTS The APC in the prevalence of hypertension was higher during 2005-2010, and there was a slowdown in the increase during 2011-2017 across all regions, with significant variations across rural-urban communities within each of the regions. In the regression analysis, in the adjusted model, older adults living in non-core (most rural) areas in the Midwest (PR = 0.988, 95% CI: 0.981-0.995) and West (PR = 0.935, 95% CI: 0.923-0.946) had lower hypertension prevalence than their regional counterparts living in large central metro areas. CONCLUSIONS Although the magnitudes of these associations are small, differences in hypertension prevalence across rural-urban areas and geographic regions may have implications for targeted interventions to improve chronic disease prevention and management.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death and disability among patients with type 2 diabetes, especially in low-income and middle-income countries. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients have a 2-4-fold increased risk of CVD. There is limited data about cardiovascular disease risks and its determinants among T2DM patients in Ethiopia. This study aimed to identify possible predictors of cardiovascular diseases among adults with T2DM in southern Ethiopia. Methods A hospital-based unmatched case-control study was conducted at southern Ethiopia Arbaminch Hospital on 196 randomly selected patients with type 2 diabetes on follow-up (98 cases and 98 controls). The authors collected data using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire, laboratory checklist, and additional document review of T2DM patients. A multivariable binary logistic regression was fitted to identify cardiovascular disease determinants, and the findings were presented using an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% CI. Result The mean reported age (±SD) of the cases and the controls was 56.3.3 (±8.9) and 52.3 (±9.3) years, respectively. The two identified independent determinants of cardiovascular disease with AOR [95% CI] were hypertension [AOR=4.953, 95% CI (2.47, 9.93) and persistent urine albuminuria [AOR=12.9, 95% CI (3.98, 41.7)]. Conclusion This study showed that having high blood pressure and persistent urine albuminuria are independent predictors of cardiovascular disease in T2DM patients. The current study setting needs an intervention for mitigating these cardiovascular disease determinants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), initially developed for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) treatment, have shown potential benefits beyond glycemic control, including a positive impact on the blood pressure (BP). This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate their effects on patients with type 2 DM and hypertension. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases for relevant randomized controlled trials published until May 31, 2023. Ten randomized controlled trials involving participants with confirmed type 2 DM were selected. The intervention group received SGLT2i, whereas the control group received a placebo or standard care. The primary outcomes were the 24-hour ambulatory systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP). RESULTS The results showed a significant reduction in the 24-hour ambulatory SBP (weighted mean difference, -5.08 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval, -7.02 to -3.14; P <.00001) and DBP (weighted mean difference, -2.73 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval, -4.25 to -1.20; P =.0005) with the use of SGLT2i compared with that using the placebo. However, a high-heterogeneity level was observed in both analyses (SBP, I2 = 83%; DBP, I2 = 91%). Sensitivity analysis excluding specific studies reduced heterogeneity while maintaining statistically significant and clinically relevant reductions in the BP. CONCLUSION In conclusion, this meta-analysis proves that SGLT2i significantly reduce the 24-hour ambulatory BP. SGLT2i may be considered an effective treatment option for lowering the BP in addition to standard care in patients with hypertension and type 2 DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Diabetic cardiomyopathy refers to cases of diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated by cardiac dysfunction in the absence of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Its epidemiology remains unclear due to the high rate of coexistence between DM and hypertension. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of diabetic cardiomyopathy among patients with acute heart failure (HF). METHODS AND RESULTS This multicenter, retrospective study included 17,614 consecutive patients with acute HF. DM-related HF was defined as HF complicating DM without known manifestations of coronary artery disease, significant valvular heart disease, or congenital heart disease, while diabetic cardiomyopathy was defined as DM-related HF without hypertension. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with in-hospital mortality. Diabetic cardiomyopathy prevalence was 1.6 % in the entire cohort, 5.2 % in patients with acute HF complicating DM, and 10 % in patients with DM-related HF. Clinical characteristics, including the presence of comorbidities, laboratory data on admission, and factors associated with in-hospital mortality, significantly differed between the diabetic cardiomyopathy group and the DM-related HF with hypertension group. The in-hospital mortality rate was significantly higher in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy than in patients with DM-related HF with hypertension (7.7 % vs. 2.8 %, respectively; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The prevalence of diabetic cardiomyopathy was 1.6 % in patients with acute HF, and patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy were at high risk for in-hospital mortality. The clinical characteristics of patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy were significantly different than those of patients with DM-related HF with hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to estimate the additive interaction of family history of diabetes and hypertension on the diagnosis of diabetes among individuals aged 45 years and above in India. The coexistence of these two exposures may act synergistically on the risk of diabetes, leading to adverse health outcomes. METHODS The study utilized the data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave 1 (2017-2018). The total sample size for the current study was 58,612 individuals aged 45 years and above. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to determine the individual and joint effect of a family history of diabetes with hypertension on diabetes. An additive model was applied to assess the interaction effect of the family medical history of diabetes with hypertension on the diagnosis of diabetes by calculating three different measures of additive interaction such as the relative excess risk ratio (RERI), attribution proportion due to interaction (AP), and synergy index (S). RESULTS The prevalence of diabetes was three times higher among individuals with family history of diabetes (27.8% vs. 9.2%) than those without family history. Individuals with family history of diabetes (AOR: 2.47, CI: 2.11 2.89) had 2.47 times higher odds of having diabetes than those without family history. The prevalence of diabetes was significantly higher among individuals with hypertension and family history of diabetes (46.6%, 95% CI: 39.7-53.6) than those without the coexistence of family history of diabetes and hypertension (9.9%, 95% CI: 9.5-10.4), individuals with hypertension and without a family history of diabetes (22.7%, 95% CI: 21.2-24.2), and individuals with family history of diabetes and without hypertension (16.5%, 95% CI: 14.5-18.7). Moreover, the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of the joint effect between family medical history of diabetes and hypertension on diabetes was 9.28 (95% CI: 7.51-11.46). In the adjusted model, the RERI, AP, and S for diabetes were 3.5 (95% CI: 1.52-5.47), 37% (0.37; 95% CI: 0.22-0.51), and 1.69 (95% CI: 1.31-2.18) respectively, which indicates that there is a significant positive interaction between family history of diabetes and hypertension on the diagnosis of diabetes. The study findings on interaction effects further demonstrate consistent results for two models of hypertension (self-reported hypertension and hypertensive individuals receiving medication) even after adjustment with potential confounding factors on diabetes (self-reported diabetes and individuals with diabetes receiving medication). CONCLUSIONS The study findings strongly suggest that the interaction of family history of diabetes with hypertension has a positive and significant effect on the risk of diabetes even after adjustment with potential confounding factors. Furthermore, the findings indicate a synergistic effect, emphasizing the importance of considering both family medical history of diabetes and hypertension when assessing diabetes risk and designing preventive strategies or interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interactions between risk factors may influence disease severity. Knowing this relationship is important for preventive interventions and disease control. The purpose of this study was to determine the interactions effects of obesity and hypertension on the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS The data of 9,283 adults 35 to 65 years were examined from the cohort study of Ravansar Non-Communicable Disease (RaNCD). Waist circumference (WC) was used to identify both general and abdominal obesity based on body mass index (BMI). To assess the interaction between hypertension and obesity (general/abdominal) and the risk of T2DM, the additive interaction was calculated. RESULTS The adjusted odds ratios for T2DM were 2.38 (1.67, 3.41) in men and 4.02 (2.47, 6.47) in women for the combinations of hypertension and abdominal obesity. The adjusted odds ratios for T2DM were 2.53 (1.63, 3.82) in men and 2.66 (1.92, 3.70) in women for the combinations of hypertension and general obesity. The results of the additive interaction indicators were inconsistent with gender. The relative excess risk due to interaction (interaction between hypertension and central obesity) (RERI), attributable proportion due to interaction (AP) and synergy index (SI) were0.27 (-1.01, 1.54), 0.11 (-0.41, 0.63) and 1.23 (0.41, 3.68) in male and were 0.61 (-1.12, 2.33), 0.23 (0.08, 0.37) and 1.26 (0.60, 2.61) in female, respectively. CONCLUSION General/abdominal obesity and hypertension have a synergistic effect on the risk of T2DM. The recommendation for preventing T2DM is lifestyle modification. Large longitudinal studies are necessary to investigate causal relationships.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Anti-hypertensive agents are one of the most frequently used drugs worldwide. However, no blood pressure-lowering strategy is superior to placebo with respect to survival in diabetic hypertensive patients. Previous findings show that Wnt co-receptors LDL receptor-related proteins 5 and 6 (LRP5/6) can directly bind to several G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Because angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) is the most important GPCR in regulating hypertension, this study examines the possible mechanistic association between LRP5/6 and their binding protein Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) and activation of the AT1R and further hypothesizes that the LRP5/6-GPCR interaction may affect hypertension and potentiate cardiac impairment in the setting of diabetes. METHODS The roles of serum DKK1 and DKK1-LRP5/6 signalling in diabetic injuries were investigated in human and diabetic mice. RESULTS Blood pressure up-regulation positively correlated with serum DKK1 elevations in humans. Notably, LRP5/6 physically and functionally interacted with AT1R. The loss of membrane LRP5/6 caused by injection of a recombinant DKK1 protein or conditional LRP5/6 deletions resulted in AT1R activation and hypertension, as well as β-arrestin1 activation and cardiac impairment, possibly because of multiple GPCR alterations. Importantly, unlike commonly used anti-hypertensive agents, administration of the anti-DKK1 neutralizing antibody effectively prevented diabetic cardiac impairment in mice. CONCLUSIONS These findings establish a novel DKK1-LRP5/6-GPCR pathway in inducing diabetic injuries and may resolve the long-standing conundrum as to why elevated blood DKK1 has deleterious effects. Thus, monitoring and therapeutic elimination of blood DKK1 may be a promising strategy to attenuate diabetic injuries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the rate of gastric emptying in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and to evaluate rapid gastric emptying as a possible predisposing factor for hypertension. Rapid gastric emptying of carbohydrates, known to elevate postprandial serum glucose, has been reported to occur in many insulin-resistant states, including hypertension. SHR exhibit insulin resistance similar to human hypertensive patients. No prior studies have assessed gastric emptying of an oral glucose solution in SHR as compared with control Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). METHODS Using scintigraphic imaging, gastric emptying of a physiologic, orally consumed glucose solution was assessed in 12 SHR and 12 control WKY at 5 weeks of age, prior to the development of hypertension, and at 12 weeks of age after hypertension was fully established. RESULTS At 5 weeks, the gastric half-emptying time (GHET) was 67.8 ± 9.8 min for the SHR vs. 109.3 ± 18 ( P = 0.042) minutes for the WKY controls. At 12 weeks, the GHET was 37.29 ± 10.3 min for the SHR vs. 138.53 ± 37.6 ( P = 0.016) min for the WKY controls. CONCLUSION Gastric emptying was significantly more rapid in the SHR before and after the development of hypertension. Even though SHR are known to have increased sympathetic activity associated with their development of hypertension, this increased sympathetic activity does not inhibit gastric emptying. SHR are a promising animal model for investigating therapeutic agents for treating hypertension aimed at slowing the rate of gastric emptying.

Association of triglyceride glucose-body mass index and hemoglobin glycation index with heart failure prevalence in hypertensive populations: a study across different glucose metabolism status. Lipids Health Dis 2024; 23:53. [PMID: 38388437 PMCID: PMC10882741 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-024-02045-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) are well-established surrogate markers for insulin resistance. Nevertheless, the extent to which these markers offer additive predictive value for heart failure (HF) prevalence in hypertensive populations, and their predictive utility across various diabetic statuses, remains to be clarified. Consequently, this study aimed to explore the independent and synergistic effects of TyG-BMI and HGI on HF risk among individuals with different diabetic statuses. METHODS Data from the study population (n = 9847) were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the combined associations between TyG-BMI and HGI and the prevalence of HF across various diabetic statuses. RESULTS In the total population, compared to the reference group (low TyG-BMI and low HGI), the OR (95% CI) for HF prevalence was 1.30 (1.04, 1.64) for the combination of low TyG-BMI and high HGI, 2.40 (1.76, 3.29) for high TyG-BMI and low HGI, and 3.47 (2.41, 4.99) for high TyG-BMI and high HGI. Interestingly, among normoglycemic individuals, higher TyG-BMI and HGI did not significantly increase the prevalence of HF. Conversely, in the prediabetic population, the OR (95%CI) for HF prevalence was 2.42 (1.69, 3.48) for the combination of high TyG-BMI and low HGI, and 4.30 (2.45, 7.54) for high TyG-BMI and high HGI. Similarly, in the diabetic population, the OR (95%CI) for HF prevalence was 2.22 (1.43, 3.45) for low TyG-BMI and high HGI, 4.04 (2.43, 6.73) for high TyG-BMI and low HGI, and 4.13 (2.25, 7.59) for high TyG-BMI and high HGI, compared to low TyG-BMI and low HGI. CONCLUSION This study reveals that elevated TyG-BMI and HGI levels exert a synergistic impact on the prevalence of HF in hypertensive adults, especially in those with prediabetes and diabetes. Additionally, the presence of prediabetes and diabetes may amplify the detrimental combined effect of TyG-BMI and HGI on HF prevalence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with T2DM often suffer from CVD-related complications, significantly impacting morbidity and mortality rates. The upsurge in CVD prevalence among them is partly linked to sd LDL particles. Understanding the mechanisms behind elevated sd LDL levels is critical for preventing and managing cardiovascular complications in diabetes. METHODS MR was employed to identify instrumental variables and establish causality, exploring underlying mechanisms. RESULTS Notably, T2DM itself, insulin resistance, and fasting glucose seemingly do not directly impact sd LDL levels. Instead, the presence of T2DM or insulin resistance, leading to reduced HDL cholesterol or elevated TG levels, directly contributes to subsequent sd LDL increases, indicating a comprehensive mediating effect. While LDL cholesterol levels correlate positively with sd LDL, they appear unaffected by T2DM or insulin resistance. Importantly, hypertension induced by T2DM or insulin resistance exhibits a positive effect on sd LDL reversal. Unlike T2DM or insulin resistance, blood glucose levels show no significant impact on all processes. CONCLUSIONS It is hoped that these insights might influence the treatment of patients with diabetes and the management of blood parameters in clinical practice. Examining the effect of T2DM or insulin resistance on sd LDL within HDL cholesterol and triglycerides pathways might provide valuable insights for targeted cardiovascular treatments. Additionally, the study's exploration of the potential positive effects of elevated blood pressure on sd LDL reversal may introduce novel considerations for blood pressure management in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes prevalence appears to be increasing in low- and middle-income countries, yet little is known about how hypertension status mediates the association between household wealth and diabetes. This study examined the mediation effects of hypertension in associations between household wealth and diabetes in eight sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of 71 577 women from recent Demographic and Health Surveys for eight SSA countries. Sample-weighted logistic regression and causal mediation analyses were conducted. RESULTS Of the 71 577 women, 1.1% (782) reported ever being diagnosed with diabetes. Women with diabetes were more likely to have hypertension compared with those without diabetes (54.9% vs 9.9%). The odds of diabetes were significantly higher among women with hypertension (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 5.71 [95% confidence interval {CI} 4.62 to 7.05]) and women from rich households (adjusted OR 1.65 [95% CI 1.23 to 2.22]) compared with their respective counterparts. Hypertension status mediated 27.4% of the association between household wealth and diabetes status. CONCLUSIONS Hypertension status partly contributes to the associations between household wealth disparities and diabetes status among women in the selected countries. Further research and targeted interventions are needed to explore specific mechanisms and confounding factors related to household wealth disparities, hypertension status and diabetes prevalence in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glycometabolic changes are associated with hypercortisolism in Cushing's syndrome. Because impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and insulin resistance are frequently detected in patients with essential hypertension, we hypothesized that in these patients, early glycometabolic abnormalities might be related to differences in regulation of cortisol secretion. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, we included 155 nondiabetic, essential hypertensive patients who were free of organ complications. The homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index and the area under the curve of plasma glucose (AUC-glucose) and insulin (AUC-insulin) concentration following an oral glucose tolerance test were measured, together with daily plasma cortisol (8 a.m., 3 p.m. and 12 a.m.; AUC-cortisol) and 8 a.m. cortisol after 1 mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test (DST). RESULTS IGT was present in 27% of patients who were older and had higher BMI, plasma triglycerides and uric acid, AUC-cortisol and DST-cortisol, and lower HDL-cholesterol. Frequency of IGT increased progressively across tertiles of DST-cortisol, together with levels of glycated hemoglobin, fasting insulin and C-peptide, HOMA-index, AUC-glucose, and AUC-insulin. AUC-cortisol and DST-cortisol were directly correlated with insulin, C-peptide, HOMA-index, AUC-glucose, and AUC-insulin. Multivariate regression analysis showed that DST-cortisol was directly and independently correlated with HOMA index, AUC-glucose, and AUC-insulin. In a logistic regression model, both AUC-cortisol and DST-cortisol independently predicted IGT. CONCLUSION Daily cortisol and cortisol response to DST are independent determinants of IGT and insulin resistance in nondiabetic patients with hypertension, suggesting that even subtle differences in regulation of cortisol secretion might increase the risk of these patients to develop diabetes.

Abstract
Background The aging population and high rates of Alzheimer's disease (AD) create significant medical burdens, prompting a need for early prevention. Targeting modifiable risk factors like vascular risk factors (VRFs), closely linked to AD, may provide a promising strategy for intervention. Objective This study investigates how VRFs influence cognitive performance and brain structures in a community-based cohort. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 4,667 participants over 50 years old, drawn from the Beijing Ageing Brain Rejuvenation Initiative project, were meticulously examined. Cognitive function and VRFs (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and smoking), were comprehensively assessed through one-to-one interviews. Additionally, a subset of participants (n = 719) underwent MRI, encompassing T1-weighted and diffusion-weighted scans, to elucidate gray matter volume and white matter structural network organization. Results The findings unveil diabetes as a potent detriment to memory, manifesting in atrophy within the right supramarginal gyrus and diminished nodal efficiency and degree centrality in the right inferior parietal lobe. Hypertension solely impaired memory without significant structural changes. Intriguingly, individuals with comorbid diabetes and hypertension exhibited the most pronounced deficits in both brain structure and cognitive performance. Remarkably, hyperlipidemia emerged as a factor associated with enhanced cognition, and preservation of brain structure. Conclusions This study illuminates the intricate associations between VRFs and the varied patterns of cognitive and brain structural damage. Notably, the synergistic effect of diabetes and hypertension emerges as particularly deleterious. These findings underscore the imperative to tailor interventions for patients with distinct VRF comorbidities, especially when addressing cognitive decline and structural brain changes.

Diabetes Metab Syndr 2024; 18:102935. [PMID: 38163417 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2023.102935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in patients with compensated cirrhosis is challenging due to hypoglycemic risk, altered pharmacokinetics, and the lack of robust evidence on the risk/benefit ratio of various drugs. Suboptimal glycemic control accelerates the progression of cirrhosis, while the frequent coexistence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with T2D highlights the need for a multifactorial therapeutic approach. METHODS A literature search was performed in Medline, Google Scholar and Scopus databases till July 2023, using relevant keywords to extract studies regarding the management of T2D in patients with compensated cirrhosis. RESULTS Metformin, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) are promising treatment options for patients with T2D and compensated liver cirrhosis, offering good glycemic control with minimal risk of hypoglycemia, while their pleiotropic actions confer benefits on NAFLD and body weight, and decrease cardiorenal risk. Sulfonylureas cause hypoglycemia, thus should be avoided, while in specific studies, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors have been correlated with increased risk of decompensation and variceal bleeding. Despite the benefits of thiazolidinediones in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, concerns about edema and weight gain limit their use in compensated cirrhosis. Insulin does not exert hepatotoxic effects and can be administered safely in combination with other drugs; however, the risk of hypoglycemia should be considered. CONCLUSIONS The introduction of new hepatoprotective diabetes drugs into clinical practice, including tirzepatide, SGLT2i, and GLP-1 RA, sets the stage for future trials to investigate the ideal therapeutic regimen for people with T2D and compensated cirrhosis.

Abstract
AIMS Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension are common high-incidence diseases, closely related, and have common pathogenic basis such as oxidative stress. Casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LOX-1) are considered to be important factors affect the level of oxidative stress in the body. The main purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between CKIP-1 (rs6693817 A > T, rs2306235 C > G) and LOX-1 (rs1050283 G > A, rs11053646 C > G) polymorphisms and the risk of hypertension and diabetes, and try to find new candidate genes for diabetes and diabetes with hypertension etiology in Chinese population. METHODS 574 T2DM patients and 597 controls frequently matched by age and sex were selected for genotyping of CKIP-1 (rs6693817 A > T, rs2306235 C > G) and LOX-1 gene (rs1050283 G > A, rs11053646 C > G). Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between different genotypes and the risk of T2DM and T2DM with hypertension, and the results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). RESULTS We found that the risk of T2DM in the AA + AT genotype of rs6693817 was higher than that in the TT genotype in Chinese population (OR = 1.318, 95%CI: 1.011-1.717, P = 0.041), and the difference was still significant after adjustment (OR = 1.370, 95%CI: 1.043-1.799, Padjusted = 0.024), the difference of heterozygotes (AT vs TT: OR = 1.374, 95%CI: 1.026-1.840, Padjusted = 0.033) was statistically significant. But after Bonferroni correction, the significance of the above sites disappeared. And rs6693817 was associated with the risk of T2DM combined with hypertension before and after adjustment in dominant model (OR = 1.424, 95% CI: 1.038-1.954, P = 0.028; OR = 1.460, 95% CI: 1.057-2.015, Padjusted = 0.021, respectively) and in heterozygote model (OR = 1.499, 95% CI: 1.069-2.102, P = 0.019; OR = 1.562, 95% CI: 1.106-2.207, Padjusted = 0.011, respectively). However, only the statistical significance of the heterozygous model remained after Bonferroni correction. rs2306235, rs1050283 and rs11053646 were not significantly correlated with T2DM and T2DM combined with hypertension risk (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that CKIP-1 rs6693817 is related to the susceptibility of Chinese people to T2DM with hypertension, providing a new genetic target for the treatment of diabetes with hypertension with in the future.

Sheng CS, Wang H, Liu Y, Li Y, Hou T, Qiu M, Lu Y, Sun S, Yang J, Song X, Ning G, Tian J. Long-term effects of blood pressure 130-139/80-89 mmHg on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among Chinese adults with different glucose metabolism. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:353. [PMID: 38129837 PMCID: PMC10740290 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02088-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality associated with blood pressure (BP) levels of 130-139/80-89 mmHg in Chinese adults with different glucose metabolism, during a long-term follow-up of over 20 years. METHODS A prospective population-based cohort of 2,132 adults in Shanghai was established in 2002 and followed for 21 years. The association between BP categories and mortality was assessed, and the risk was further analyzed using multiple Cox regression analysis by combining BP and blood glucose categories. RESULTS The final analysis included 2,004 participants, with 397 all-cause and 166 cardiovascular mortality. The incidence of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality per 1,000 person-years for different BP categories were as follows: BP < 130/80 mmHg (4.5 and 1.3), 130-139/80-89 mmHg (7.7 and 2.9), and ≥ 140/90 mmHg or treated groups (19.9 and 8.7), respectively. After adjusting for age, sex, and other factors, BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg was significantly associated with a higher risk of mortality across different blood glucose categories. However, using BP < 130/80 mmHg and normoglycemia as the reference, a BP of 130-139/80-89 mmHg was significantly associated with higher risks of all-cause (hazard ratio 3.30 [95% confidence interval 1.48-7.38], P < 0.01) and cardiovascular mortality (9.60 [1.93-47.7], P < 0.01) in diabetes, but not in those with normoglycemia or prediabetes. CONCLUSIONS BP of 130-139/80-89 mmHg may lead to a significantly higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in Chinese adults with diabetes, but not in those with normoglycemia or prediabetes. This suggests that the targeted BP for people with diabetes should be < 130-139/80-89 mmHg.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent and complex metabolic disorder associated with various complications, including cardiovascular diseases. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) have emerged as novel therapeutic agents for T2DM, primarily aiming to reduce blood glucose levels. However, recent investigations have unveiled their multifaceted effects, extending beyond their glucose-lowering effect. SGLT2i operate by inhibiting the SGLT2 receptor in the kidneys, facilitating the excretion of glucose through urine, leading to reduced blood glucose levels, while GLP1-RA mimic the action of the GLP1 hormone, stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion from pancreatic islets. Both SGLT2i and GLP1-RA have shown remarkable benefits in reducing major cardiovascular events in patients with and without T2DM. This comprehensive review explores the expanding horizons of SGLT2i and GLP1-RA in improving cardiovascular health. It delves into the latest research, highlighting the effects of these drugs on heart physiology and metabolism. By elucidating their diverse mechanisms of action and emerging evidence, this review aims to recapitulate the potential of SGLT2i and GLP1-RA as therapeutic options for cardiovascular health beyond their traditional role in managing T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated blood pressure (BP) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. However, there is ongoing debate whether intensive BP lowering may paradoxically increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We investigated the association of BP with risk of CVD mortality in patients with T2D. METHODS AND RESULTS We used data on 83 721 patients with T2D from a multi-institutional diabetes registry in Singapore from 2013 to 2019. BP was analyzed as categories and restricted cubic splines using Cox multivariable regression analysis stratified by preexisting CVD and age (<65 years versus ≥65 years). The primary outcome was CVD mortality, determined via linkage with the national registry. Among 83 721 patients with T2D (mean age 65.3 years, 50.6% women, 78.9% taking antihypertensive medications), 7.6 per 1000 person-years experienced the primary outcome. Systolic BP had a graded relationship with a significant increase in CVD mortality at levels >120 to 129 mm Hg. Diastolic BP levels >90 mm Hg were significantly associated with CVD mortality in those aged ≥65 years. In addition, diastolic BP <70 mm Hg was associated with a significantly higher risk of CVD mortality in all patients. CONCLUSIONS In patients with T2D, clinic systolic BP levels ≥130 mm Hg or diastolic BP levels ≥90 mm Hg are associated with higher risk of CVD mortality. Diastolic BP <70 mm Hg is also associated with the risk of adverse CVD outcomes, although reverse causality cannot be ruled out.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of hypertension (HTN) is higher in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Inflammation is the key link between HTN and NAFLD. Systemic inflammation can be dramatically increased by inflammatory diet intake. However, whether controlling the inflammatory diet intake in NAFLD patients could affect the occurrence of HTN still remains unknown. Our aim here is to evaluate the effect of the dietary inflammatory index (DII) on blood pressure in patients with different grades of hepatic steatosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2017-2018). DII was calculated based on the data of 24-h dietary recall interviews. The severity of liver steatosis was assessed by a controlled attenuation parameter. Multivariable logistic regression, multivariable linear regression and subgroup analyses were conducted to determine the association between DII and blood pressure in patients with different degrees of hepatic steatosis. RESULTS A total of 5449 participants were included in this analysis. In male participants with severe liver steatosis (S3), the highest DII tertile group was more likely to have higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) compared with the lowest tertile group (Tertile1: 128.31(125.31,131.31), Tertile3: 133.12(129.40,136.85), P for trend =0.03551). DII was positively correlated with SBP and the prevalence of HTN in males with hepatic steatosis grade S3 (≥ 67% steatosis) (SBP: P for trend = 0.011, HTN: P for trend = 0.039). Regarding the association of DII with SBP and HTN, the tests for interaction were significant for hepatic steatosis (SBP: interaction for p = 0.0015, HTN: interaction for p = 0.0202). CONCLUSIONS In the present study, we demonstrated that DII was a risk factor for increased SBP and the prevalence of HTN in males with severe hepatic steatosis S3, indicating that anti-inflammatory dietary management should be considered in these individuals to reduce the risk of developing HTN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of obesity, hypertension and diabetes is increasing. Hypertension and diabetes are common complications. Additionally, obesity and hypertension-diabetes comorbidity (HDC) are both closely related to insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to determine the association of obesity indicators with HDC in elderly individuals. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 74,955 subjects aged ≥ 60 years living in Xinzheng, Henan Province, from January 2011 to December 2019. The data were collected from the annual health examination dataset. Cox proportional hazard regression models and competing-risk survival regression models were used to examine the relationships between the three indicators and HDC risk. RESULTS After 346,504 person-years of follow-up, HDC developed in 9,647 subjects. After further adjustments for confounders and death competing risks, compared with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5-23.9 kg/m2, the fully adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of BMI < 18.5, 24-27.9 and ≥ 28 kg/m2 for HDC morbidity were 0.651(0.538,0.788),1.00,1.396(1.336,1.459) and 1.769(1.666,1.878), respectively. Moreover, participants with abdominal obesity measured via waist circumference (WC) or waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) had a higher risk of HDC (HR:1.513; 95% CI: 1.45,1.578 and HR:1.412;95% CI: 1.353,1.473), respectively, than participants with low WC or with low WtHR. In the joint analyses, the highest risk was observed in participants who were overweight and who had central obesity (HR: 1.721; 95% CI: 1.635, 1.811) compared with the nonoverweight and noncentral obesity groups. CONCLUSIONS Increased BMI, WC and WtHR were associated with an increased risk of HDC. There was an additive interaction between general body adiposity (as measured via BMI) and central obesity (as measured via WC and WtHR) for HDC. Therefore, reasonable control of BMI, WC and WtHR may be an effective measure to prevent HDC among elderly individuals.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the interplay between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) on the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Patients and Methods Patients with suspected CCS who underwent first-time coronary angiography in Western Denmark between 2003 and 2016 were included in this cohort study. Moreover, an age- and sex-matched general population cohort was established. Patients were stratified according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Presence of CAD was defined as ≥1 obstructive stenosis or non-obstructive diffuse disease. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were defined as a composite of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and cardiac death. Results A total of 42,611 patients were included with a median follow-up of 7.3 years. Patients without and with CAD had MACE rates per 100 person-years that were 0.52 and 1.67 for eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2, 0.68 and 2.09 for eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2, 1.27 and 3.85 for eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2, and 2.27 and 6.92 for eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Comparing to eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2, the adjusted incidence rate ratios for MACE were 1.29 (1.10-1.51) for eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2, 1.86 (1.49-2.33) for eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2, and 3.57 (1.92-6.67) for eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 in patients without CAD, and 1.11 (1.03-1.20), 1.71 (1.55-1.90), and 2.46 (1.96-3.09) in patients with CAD. The inverse relationship between kidney function and risk of MACE was confirmed when comparing patients with and without CAD to matched individuals in the general population. Conclusion Absence of CAD is a strong negative predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CKD.

Abstract
Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) is an increasingly significant global public health concern. It encompasses the coexistence of multiple cardiometabolic diseases, including hypertension, stroke, heart disease, atherosclerosis, and T2DM. A crucial component to the development of CMM is the disruption of endothelial homeostasis. Therefore, therapies targeting endothelial cells through multi-targeted and multi-pathway approaches hold promise for preventing and treatment of CMM. Curcumin, a widely used dietary supplement derived from the golden spice Carcuma longa, has demonstrated remarkable potential in treatment of CMM through its interaction with endothelial cells. Numerous studies have identified various molecular targets of curcumin (such as NF-κB/PI3K/AKT, MAPK/NF-κB/IL-1β, HO-1, NOs, VEGF, ICAM-1 and ROS). These findings highlight the efficacy of curcumin as a therapeutic agent against CMM through the regulation of endothelial function. It is worth noting that there is a close relationship between the progression of CMM and endothelial damage, characterized by oxidative stress, inflammation, abnormal NO bioavailability and cell adhesion. This paper provides a comprehensive review of curcumin, including its availability, pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutics, and therapeutic application in treatment of CMM, as well as the challenges and future prospects for its clinical translation. In summary, curcumin shows promise as a potential treatment option for CMM, particularly due to its ability to target endothelial cells. It represents a novel and natural lead compound that may offer significant therapeutic benefits in the management of CMM.

Abstract
Objective (s): Metabolic syndrome is a collection of metabolic abnormalities that includes hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. Ellagic acid is found in various fruits and vegetables. It has been reported to have several pharmacological properties, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, chemopreventive, neuroprotective, gastroprotective, and antidiabetic. Our current study aims to shed light on the probable efficiency of ellagic acid in managing metabolic syndrome and its complications. Materials and methods To prepare the present review, the databases or search engines utilized included Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, and relevant articles have been gathered with no time limit until March 2023. Results Several investigations indicated that ellagic acid could be a potent compound for the treatment of many disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia by various mechanisms, including increasing insulin secretion, insulin receptor substrate protein 1 expression, regulating glucose transporter 4, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), attenuating tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and oxidative stress in related tissues. Furthermore, ellagic acid ameliorates mitochondrial function, upregulates uncoupling protein 1 (found in brown and white adipose tissues), and regulates blood levels of nitrate/nitrite and vascular relaxations in response to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside. Conclusion Ellagic acid can treat or manage metabolic syndrome and associated complications, according to earlier studies. To validate the beneficial effects of ellagic acid on metabolic syndrome, additional preclinical and clinical research is necessary.

Abstract
There has been an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality over the past few decades, making cardiovascular disease (CVD) the leading cause of death worldwide. However, the pathogenesis of CVD is multi-factorial, complex, and not fully understood. The gut microbiome has long been recognized to play a critical role in maintaining the physiological and metabolic health of the host. Recent scientific advances have provided evidence that alterations in the gut microbiome and its metabolites have a profound influence on the development and progression of CVD. Among the trillions of microorganisms in the gut, bifidobacteria, which, interestingly, were found through the literature to play a key role not only in regulating gut microbiota function and metabolism, but also in reducing classical risk factors for CVD (e.g., obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes) by suppressing oxidative stress, improving immunomodulation, and correcting lipid, glucose, and cholesterol metabolism. This review explores the direct and indirect effects of bifidobacteria on the development of CVD and highlights its potential therapeutic value in hypertension, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. By describing the key role of Bifidobacterium in the link between gut microbiology and CVD, we aim to provide a theoretical basis for improving the subsequent clinical applications of Bifidobacterium and for the development of Bifidobacterium nutritional products.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with unfavourable patient-reported outcomes after spine surgery. Chronic low back pain (CLBP) with Modic Changes (MCs) in the lumbar vertebrae, as observed on MRI, forms a specific subgroup. This study aims to investigate the potential influence of DM on CLBP with MCs. METHODS This study involved 259 patients with CLBP accompanied MCs. We recorded the patient-reported outcomes (visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ)) at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. Multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to determine predictors of patient-reported outcomes. RESULTS 103 patients had DM. Patients with DM exhibited higher VAS (P < .05), ODI (P < .001), and RMDQ (P < .001) scores at 3, 6, and 12 months, while patients without DM experienced more significant improvements in the scores over time (P < .001). Patients with DM reported longer durations of physical exercise (P = .007). Additionally, patients without DM had a significantly higher patient satisfaction index (P < .001) and a lower prevalence of hypertension (P < .001). Notably, significant differences were observed in the distribution of MCs of lumbar vertebrae (P = .034) and Pfirrmann grades of intervertebral disc degeneration between two groups (P < .001). CONCLUSION Patients with DM demonstrated poorer patient-reported outcomes compared to those without DM in 1-year. DM emerged as an independent predictor of adverse patient-reported outcomes. It can be utilized to enhance the management and treatment of CLBP in patients with MCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To fill the knowledge gap of the relation between long-term dietary sodium intake and type 2 diabetes (T2D), we evaluate the association between the frequency of adding salt to foods, a surrogate marker for evaluating the long-term sodium intake, and incident T2D risk. METHODS A total of 402,982 participants from UK Biobank (March 13, 2006 - October 10, 2010) who were free of diabetes, chronic kidney disease, cancer, or cardiovascular disease at baseline, and had completed information on adding salt were analyzed in this study. RESULTS During a median of 11.9 years of follow-up, 13,120 incident cases of T2D were documented. Compared with participants who "never/rarely" added salt to foods, the adjusted HRs were 1.11 (95% CI, 1.06 to 1.15), 1.18 (95% CI, 1.12 to 1.24), and 1.28 (95% CI, 1.20 to 1.37) across the groups of "sometimes," "usually," and "always," respectively (P-trend<.001). We did not find significant interactions between the frequency of adding salt to foods and baseline hypertension status and other covariates on the risk of incident T2D. The observed positive association was partly mediated by body mass index, waist to hip ratio, and C-reactive protein, with a significant mediation effect of 33.8%, 39.9%, and 8.6%, respectively. The significant mediation effect of body mass index was largely driven by the body fat mass rather than the body fat-free mass. CONCLUSION Our findings for the first time indicate that higher frequency of adding salt to foods, a surrogate marker for a person's long-term salt taste preference and intake, is associated with a higher T2D risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes increases the risk of hypertension morbidity, but whether this association is varied with glycemic control remains unknown. We aimed to examine the association of glycemic control with hypertension among individuals with diabetes. METHODS Data was from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) between 2011 and 2018. Participants were categorized as having adequate glycemic control (HbA1c < 7%) and inadequate glycemic uncontrol (HbA1c ≥ 7%) by combining blood glucose tests and physician's diagnoses in 2011. Incident hypertension was ascertained through self-reported physician diagnoses from 2011 to 2018. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to examine the effect of glycemic control on hypertension. RESULTS Among 436 participants with diabetes in this study, 102 met the glycemic control standard, and 334 were insufficient glycemic control. During 7 years of follow-up, 141 individuals developed hypertension. Compared with adequate glycemic control, the hazard ratio of inadequate glycemic control on hypertension was 1.54 (95% CI, 1.07-2.21) in the multivariate model. Additionally, the influence of glycemic control on hypertension varied based on educational attainment and the presence of depressive symptoms (P for interaction < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Insufficient glycemic control was associated with a higher risk of hypertension among individuals with diabetes. Notably, the effect of glycemic control on hypertension was more pronounced among those with lower educational attainment and those exhibiting depressive symptoms. These findings underscore the significance of vigilant glycemic monitoring, educational background considerations, and mental health assessments in managing diabetic individuals.

Abstract
AIMS Understanding the national trends in cardiovascular risk factors control of individuals with prediabetes and diabetes is critical for diabetes prevention and management. Our study aims to estimate how cardiovascular risk factors changed in US adults with different glycemic statuses between 2007-2008 and 2017-2018. METHODS AND RESULTS This was a serial cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (between 2007-2008 and 2017-2018 cycle). Non-pregnant American participants aged 20 years or older were included. Cardiovascular risk factors including weight, blood pressure, plasma cholesterol, and smoking by glycemic statuses were estimated. A total of 33 040 American adults were included. From 2007-2008 to 2017-2018, the age-adjusted proportions of individuals who reached weight control (body mass index <30 kg/m2) of both normoglycemia group and prediabetes group had a significant decrease over the study period, while the trend in participants with diabetes was not significant (mean difference: -5.34%, 95% confidence interval: -15.28%, 4.59%; P for trend = 0.298). The age-adjusted means of total cholesterol of all three groups decreased during the study decade (P for trend < 0.010), with participants with diabetes maintaining the lowest level. Individuals with high total cholesterol were more likely to receive statin therapy in the diabetes group. Notably, prediabetes participants had the highest level of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and were less likely to achieve lipid control with statin therapy. Sensitivity analysis with the second definition of prediabetes and diabetes resulted in a consistent trend. CONCLUSIONS In this nationally representative cross-sectional study, we systematically estimated the cardiovascular risk factors control in American adults and found poor weight control in the normoglycemia and prediabetes group. Despite the significant decrease trend of plasma total cholesterol in all groups, the high cholesterol level in the prediabetes group deserves special concern.

Abstract
Background A single-stranded RNA genome-encapsulated virus known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is known to cause severe acute respiratory syndrome in humans. People with diabetes and hypertension are often more susceptible to developing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and experience a disproportionately higher rate of morbidity and death compared to the general population. The COVID-19 pandemic has become an urgent worldwide issue. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to assess how diabetes and hypertension, both separately and together, affect clinical outcomes in terms of morbidity and mortality in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. This study aimed to evaluate the disease outcomes in hypertensive and diabetic patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Methodology This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2022 to November 2022. Using purposive selective sampling, a total of 90 known hypertensive and diabetic patients with COVID-19 aged 18-90 years admitted in COVID-19 isolation wards and intensive care units (ICUs) of Mayo Hospital Lahore were recruited in this study after obtaining informed consent and IRB approval from the Institutional Review Board of King Edward Medical University, Lahore. Patients who did not provide consent, patients whose positive polymerase chain reaction reports for COVID-19 were not available, pregnant females, and patients with other comorbidities were excluded from the study. Data were collected from the COVID-19 isolation medical wards and ICUs from patient charts containing age, the status of hypertension and diabetes, disease status, severity, and levels of inflammatory markers, i.e., D-dimers, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), serum ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Quantitative variables such as age were presented as mean ± SD. Qualitative variables such as hypertension, diabetes, and levels of inflammatory markers were presented as frequency and percentages. Results In this study, 90 patients were included, with 51 (57%) females and 39 (43%) males, all of whom were either hypertensive, diabetic, or both. In total, 70 (78%) patients were admitted to ICUs and 20 (22%) to COVID-19 medical isolation wards. Among 70 ICU patients, 39 (43.3%) were on continuous positive airway pressure/bilevel positive airway pressure, seven (7.8%) were on ventilators, and 44 (48.8%) were on normal oxygen masks/non-rebreather masks with high-flow oxygen. Overall, 100% of the patients included in the study had raised levels of inflammatory markers, low lymphocyte count, and increased neutrophil count. In total, 84 (93%) patients had severely high and six (7%) patients had moderately high CRP levels. Moreover, 33 (36.7%) patients had severely high and 57 (63.3%) patients had moderately high D-dimer levels. Further, 25 (28%) patients had severely high, 26 (29%) patients had moderately high, and 39 (43.3%) patients had significantly raised levels of serum ferritin. In total, 21 (23%) patients had severely high, 37 (41%) had moderately high, and 32 (36%) had significantly raised levels of serum LDH. Among the 90 patients, 65 (73%) expired and 25 (27%) survived. Of the expired patients, 62 (95%) were admitted to ICUs, and three (5%) were admitted to wards. Conclusions Diabetes and hypertension are strong predictors of COVID-19 severity in terms of morbidity and mortality due to respiratory deterioration.

Three-year change in glycemic state and the future risk of incident hypertension among Iranian adults: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. J Hum Hypertens 2023; 37:944-949. [PMID: 36473941 DOI: 10.1038/s41371-022-00788-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The impact of 3-year change in glycemic state on the risk of hypertension among Tehranian adults aged ≥20 years was assessed. The study population included 1679 men and 2348 women who were non-diabetic normotensive at enrollment. The following categories were defined both at baseline visit and three years later (second visit): normoglycemia [normal fasting glucose (NFG) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT)] and prediabetes [impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)]. Changes in the categories, i.e., regression to normoglycemia, remaining in previous status, and progression to diabetes were assessed. Changes in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-hour plasma glucose (2hPG) categories were also considered separately. We used the Cox models adjusted for traditional hypertension risk factors to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). During a median follow-up of 9.4 years, 485 men and 589 women developed hypertension. Among men, considering both FPG and 2hPG, compared to individuals remaining normoglycemic, changing from prediabetes to normoglycemia had a HR of 1.30 (95% CI: 0.98-1.71; P-value: 0.064). Defining changes by 2hPG showed that compared to remaining NGT, incident IGT (progression from NGT to IGT) had a significant association with increased risk of hypertension development by a HR of 1.61 (1.13-2.30). Among women, on the other hand, change in glycemic state generally didn't show a significant association with incident hypertension. To sum up, change in glycemic state hadn't a significant association with hypertension development among women; however, compared to remaining NGT, men with incident IGT had a significant higher risk.

Abstract
Diabetes is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide yet preventable. Complications of undetected and untreated diabetes result in serious human suffering and disability. It negatively impacts on individual's social economic status threatening economic prosperity. There is a scarcity of data on health system diabetes service readiness and availability in Kenya which necessitated an investigation into the specific availability and readiness of diabetes services. A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out using the Kenya service availability and readiness mapping tool in 598 randomly selected public health facilities in 12 purposively selected counties. Ethical standards outlined in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments were upheld throughout the study. Health facilities were classified into primary and secondary level facilities prior to statistical analysis using IBM SPSS version 25. Exploratory data analysis techniques were employed to uncover the distribution structure of continuous study variables. For categorical variables, descriptive statistics in terms of proportions, frequency distributions and percentages were used. Of the 598 facilities visited, 83.3% were classified as primary while 16.6% as secondary. A variation in specific diabetes service availability and readiness was depicted in the 12 counties and between primary and secondary level facilities. Human resource for health reported a low mean availability (46%; 95% CI 44%-48%) with any NCDs specialist and nutritionist the least carder available. Basic equipment and diagnostic capacity reported a fairly high mean readiness (73%; 95% CI 71%-75%) and (64%; 95%CI 60%-68%) respectively. Generally, primary health facilities had low diabetic specific service availability and readiness compared to secondary facilities: capacity to cope with diabetes increased as the level of care ascended to higher levels. Significant gaps were identified in overall availability and readiness in both primary and secondary levels facilities particularly in terms of human resource for health specifically nutrition and laboratory profession.

Association of remnant cholesterol with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and their coexistence: the mediating role of inflammation-related indicators. Lipids Health Dis 2023; 22:158. [PMID: 37752554 PMCID: PMC10521406 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-023-01915-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Cholesterol metabolism is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and recent studies have shown that cholesterol metabolism poses a residual risk of cardiovascular disease even when conventional lipid risk factors are in the optimal range. The association between remnant cholesterol (RC) and cardiovascular disease has been demonstrated; however, its association with hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the concomitance of the two diseases requires further study. This study aimed to evaluate the association of RC with hypertension, T2DM, and both in a large sample of the U.S. population, and to further explore the potential mechanisms involved. METHODS This cross-sectional study used data from the 2005-2018 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (N = 17,749). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the relationships of RC with hypertension, T2DM, and both comorbidities. A restricted cubic spline regression model was used to reveal the dose effect. Mediation analyses were performed to explore the potential mediating roles of inflammation-related indicators in these associations. RESULTS Of the 17,749 participants included (mean [SD] age: 41.57 [0.23] years; women: 8983 (50.6%), men: 8766 (49.4%)), the prevalence of hypertension, T2DM, and their co-occurrence was 32.6%, 16.1%, and 11.0%, respectively. Higher RC concentrations were associated with an increased risk of hypertension, T2DM, and their co-occurrence (adjusted odds ratios for per unit increase in RC were 1.068, 2.259, and 2.362, and 95% confidence intervals were 1.063-1.073, 1.797-2.838, and 1.834-3.041, respectively), with a linear dose-response relationship. Even when conventional lipids were present at normal levels, positive associations were observed. Inflammation-related indicators (leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils) partially mediated these associations. Among these, leukocytes had the greatest mediating effect (10.8%, 14.5%, and 14.0%, respectively). CONCLUSION The results of this study provide evidence that RC is associated with the risk of hypertension, T2DM, and their co-occurrence, possibly mediated by an inflammatory response.
