The relationships between biological novel biomarkers Lp-PLA 2 and CTRP-3 and CVD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. J Diabetes 2024; 16:e13574. [PMID: 38924255 PMCID: PMC11199973 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13574] [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: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is recognized as a primary and severe comorbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is also identified as a leading cause of mortality within this population. Consequently, the identification of novel biomarkers for the risk stratification and progression of CVD in individuals with T2DM is of critical importance. METHODS This retrospective cohort study encompassed 979 patients diagnosed with T2DM, of whom 116 experienced CVD events during the follow-up period. Clinical assessments and comprehensive blood laboratory analyses were conducted. Age- and sex-adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was utilized to evaluate the association between lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3 (CTRP-3), and the incidence of CVD in T2DM. The diagnostic performance of these biomarkers was assessed through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the computation of the area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 84 months (interquartile range: 42 [32-54] months), both novel inflammatory markers, Lp-PLA2 and CTRP-3, and traditional lipid indices, such as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B, exhibited aberrant expression in the CVD-afflicted subset of the T2DM cohort. Age- and sex-adjusted Cox regression analysis delineated that Lp-PLA2 (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.007 [95% confidence interval {CI}: 1.005-1.009], p < 0.001) and CTRP-3 (HR = 0.943 [95% CI: 0.935-0.954], p < 0.001) were independently associated with the manifestation of CVD in T2DM. ROC curve analysis indicated a substantial predictive capacity for Lp-PLA2 (AUC = 0.81 [95% CI: 0.77-0.85], p < 0.001) and CTRP-3 (AUC = 0.91 [95% CI: 0.89-0.93], p < 0.001) in forecasting CVD occurrence in T2DM. The combined biomarker approach yielded an AUC of 0.94 (95% CI: 0.93-0.96), p < 0.001, indicating enhanced diagnostic accuracy. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that the biomarkers Lp-PLA2 and CTRP-3 are dysregulated in patients with T2DM who develop CVD and that each biomarker is independently associated with the occurrence of CVD. The combined assessment of Lp-PLA2 and CTRP-3 may significantly augment the diagnostic precision for CVD in the T2DM demographic.

Association of noise exposure with lipid metabolism among Chinese adults: mediation role of obesity indices. J Endocrinol Invest 2024:10.1007/s40618-024-02420-4. [PMID: 38909326 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-024-02420-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Noise exposure in the workplace has been linked to a number of health consequences. Our objectives were to explore the relationship between occupational noise and lipid metabolism and evaluate the possible mediating effect of obesity indices in those relationships with a cross-sectional study design. METHODS Cumulative noise exposure (CNE) was used to measure the level of noise exposure. Logistic regression models or generalized linear models were employed to evaluate the association of occupational noise and obesity with lipid metabolism markers. Cross-lagged analysis was conducted to explore temporal associations of obesity with lipid metabolism. RESULTS A total of 854 participants were included, with each one-unit increase in CNE, the values of total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased by 0.013 (95% confidence interval: 0.006, 0.020) and 0.009 (0.004, 0.014), as well as the prevalence of dyslipidemia increased by 1.030 (1.013, 1.048). Occupational noise and lipid metabolism markers were all positively associated with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), a Body Shape Index (ABSI) and a Body Shape Index and Body Roundness Index (BRI) (all P < 0.05). Moreover, BMI, WC, ABSI and BRI could mediate the associations of occupational noise with lipid metabolism; the proportions ranged from 21.51 to 24.45%, 23.84 to 30.14%, 4.86 to 5.94% and 25.59 to 28.23%, respectively (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates a positive association between occupational noise and abnormal lipid metabolism, and obesity may partly mediate the association. Our findings reinforce the need to take practical steps to reduce or even eliminate the health risks associated with occupational noise.

Abstract
A growing number of observational studies have been carried out on the relationship between serum magnesium and risk of dyslipidemia, but their results were conflicting. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum magnesium levels and risk of dyslipidemia in Chinese adult residents. We used data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) in the wave of 2009 to conduct a cross-sectional study. A total of 8,457 participants (47.2% male) with a mean age of 50.5 years were assessed and divided into 4 groups based on quartiles of serum magnesium levels. We found that higher quartiles of serum magnesium were associated with increased prevalence of dyslipidemia. After adjustment for confounders, the results of logistic regression analyses indicated that there was an increased trend in dyslipidemia risk as quartiles of serum magnesium increased. The restricted cubic spline model revealed a nonlinear relationship between serum magnesium levels and dyslipidemia. In subgroup analyses, the positive relationship between serum magnesium levels and dyslipidemia was more significant in females than in males. Our study suggested that serum magnesium levels were positively associated with risk of dyslipidemia in Chinese adult population. Further research is needed to provide a deep understanding of the underlying mechanism of magnesium on lipid metabolism.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to report the risk factors of severe statin induced liver injury (SILI). From the database of Shandong ADR Monitoring Center and Outpatients and inpatients in our hospital, SILI cases reported from 2013 to 2021 were extracted and screened. The diagnostic criteria of SILI, the inclusion and exclusion criteria of severe and general SILI were established separately. After the SILI cases were selected and confirmed, the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. Single factor chi-square test and multi-factor unconditional logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of severe SILI. From 1391 reported cases, 1211 met SILI diagnostic criteria, of which 157 were severe SILI and 964 were general SILI. Univariate analysis showed that age, drug combination, statin category were the influencing factors of severe SILI (p<0.1). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that drug combination and statin category were the influencing factors of severe SILI (p<0.05). Atorvastatin caused the most serious SILI, and its risk is 1.77 times higher than rosuvastatin. The serious SILI risk of drug combination was 2.08 times higher than statin alone. The patient with these factors should be monitored intensively during clinical treatment, to ensure their medication safety.

Abstract
The clinical benefits of statins have well-established and recognized worldwide. Although statins are well-tolerated generally, however, the report of statin-related adverse event and statin intolerance are common in China, which results in insufficient use of statins and poor adherence. The main reason may be attributed to confusions or misconceptions in the clinical diagnosis and management in China, including the lack of unified definitions and diagnostic standards, broad grasp of diagnosis, and unscientific management strategies. Based on that, this consensus carefully summarized the statin-related gene polymorphism and statin usage issue among Chinese population, and comprehensively reviewed global research data on statin intolerance, referenced guidelines, and consensus literature on statin intolerance in foreign and different regions, proposes an appropriate and easy to implement statin intolerance definition as well as corresponding diagnostic criteria and management strategies for Chinese clinicians, in order to improve the clinical application of statin drugs and enhance the prevention and treatment level of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in China.

Abstract
Introduction Dyslipidemia is common in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, there is insufficient research on the impact of dyslipidemia on the postoperative outcomes of patients with AAA after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). This study aimed to determine the impact of dyslipidemia on the prognosis of patients with AAA treated with EVAR. Method We retrospectively reviewed patients with AAA who underwent EVAR at our hospital between 2010 and 2020. The baseline characteristics and prognoses of patients in the dyslipidemia and non-dyslipidemia groups were analyzed. Results A total of 641 patients were included; the prevalence of dyslipidemia in patients with AAA was 42.3% (271/641), and the mean follow-up time was 63.37 ± 26.49 months. The prevalence of diabetes (10.0% vs. 15.1%, P = 0.050), peripheral arterial disease (17.3% vs. 25.8%, P = 0.018), and chronic kidney disease (3.0% vs. 6.3%, P = 0.043) was higher in the dyslipidemia group. The three-year all-cause mortality rate after EVAR was 9.98% (64/641), and there was no difference in the incidence of all-cause mortality (10.27% vs. 9.59%, P = 0.778) between the two groups. A total of 36 (5.62%) major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) were observed within 3 years and were more common in patients with dyslipidemia (2.97% vs. 9.59%, P < 0.001). The incidence of stent-related complications in all patients was 19.97% (128/641), and there was no difference in the incidence of stent-related complications between the two groups (22.16% vs. 16.97%, P = 0.105); however, the incidence of type I endoleak in the dyslipidemia group was lower than that in the non-dyslipidemia group (9.19% vs. 4.06%, P = 0.012). Cox-regression analysis showed that high level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was the protective factor (HR, 0.203, 95% CI, 0.067-0.616, P = 0.005) for MACCES, but it was the risk factor for type I endoleak (HR, 2.317, 95% CI, 1.202-4.466, P = 0.012). Conclusion Dyslipidemia did not affect the mortality of patients with AAA who underwent EVAR; however, it may increase the incidence of MACCEs. Dyslipidemia may decrease the incidence of type I endoleaks after EVAR; however, further studies are warranted. We should strengthen the postoperative management of patients with dyslipidemia, prevent the occurrence of MACCEs.

Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is a common metabolic disorder that can lead to cardiovascular disease. PDK4 is a key enzyme that regulates glucose and fatty acid metabolism and homeostasis. The aim of this study is to explore the correlation between PDK4 expression and dyslipidemia in obese children, and to find new therapeutic targets for hyperlipidemia in children. The expression of PDK4 in serum was detected by qRT-PCR. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the relationship between PDK4 and dyslipidemia. Upstream miRNAs of PDK4 were predicted by the database and verified by dual luciferase reporter gene assay and detected by qRT-PCR. The hyperlipidemia mouse model was established by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding, and the metabolic disorders of mice were detected. PDK4 is poorly expressed in the serum of obese children. The upstream of PDK4 may be inhibited by miR-107, miR-27a-3p, and miR-106b-5p, which are highly expressed in the serum of obese children. Overexpression of PDK4 improves lipid metabolism in HFD mice. miR-27a-3p silencing upregulates PDK4 to improve lipid metabolism. In conclusion, PDK4 has a diagnostic effect on dyslipidemia in children, while lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemic mice could be mitigated by upregulation of PDK4, which was inhibited by miR-107, miR-27a-3p and miR-106b-5p on upstream.

Abstract
The prevalence of periodontitis and dyslipidemia continues to increase, and several studies have reported an association between the 2. Therefore, we assessed the relationship between periodontitis and hypertriglyceridemia using propensity score matching to efficiently address confounding factors, as well as complex sample analysis with data from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VII (2016-2018). To match the 1:1 ratio between the groups with and without periodontitis, the propensity scores of covariates, such as age, sex, education, income, smoking, drinking, obesity, and diabetes mellitus, were calculated using logistic regression. Both results of logistic regression analysis using complex sample design for whole and matched sample after propensity score matching demonstrated a significant association between hypertriglyceridemia and periodontitis, of which the adjusted odds ratio was 1.28 (95% confidence interval = 1.10-1.50) and 1.29 (95% confidence interval = 1.09-1.52), respectively. Our findings suggest that dental healthcare workers can help raise awareness among patients with periodontitis regarding the association between periodontitis and hypertriglyceridemia, which may help them manage the condition and receive treatment.

Abstract
Background Research has shown that the disordered serum lipid profile may be associated with the risk of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Whether this association reflect causal effect is still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the causality of circulating lipoprotein lipids on DTC. Methods Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the circulating lipoprotein lipids and DTC risk using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from a genome-wide association (GWA) study containing a high-incidence Italian population of 690 cases samples with DTC and 497 controls. Results Univariate and multivariate mendelian randomization analysis demonstrated that 'total cholesterol', 'HDL cholesterol', 'apolipoprotein B' and 'ratio of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1' were correlated with DTC. According to sensitivity analysis, our results were reliable. Furthermore, multivariate analysis revealed that there is no causative association between DTC and any of the many cause factors when they interact with one another, suggesting that there was a deep interaction between the four factors, which could affect each other. Finally, the mechanism of the related effects each other as well as the target genes with significant SNP regulatory effects in DTC was explored by conducting functional enrichment analysis and constructing the regulatory networks. Conclusions We obtained four exposure factors (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B and ratio of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1) closely related to DTC, which laid a theoretical foundation for the treatment of DTC.

OUTCOME MEASURES Prevalence of dyslipidaemia was defined as self-reported history of dyslipidaemia and/or the use of lipid-lowering medication, and/or meeting at least one of the following during on-site investigation: total cholesterol ≥6.2 mmol/L, triglyceride ≥2.3 mmol/L, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥4.1 mmol/L and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol <1.0 mmol/L. Dyslipidaemia awareness was defined as the proportion of patients with dyslipidaemia who explicitly indicate their awareness of having a diagnosis of dyslipidaemia. Treatment was based on medication use among individuals with dyslipidaemia. Control was defined as having dyslipidaemia, receiving treatment and achieving serum lipid control to the standard level. ANALYSIS Complex weighting was used to calculate weighted prevalence. A two-level logistic regression model determined the influencing factors for dyslipidaemia prevalence, awareness, treatment and control. RESULTS The crude prevalence rate of dyslipidaemia was 28.4% (17 093 of 60 283). Among 17 093 patients with dyslipidaemia, the crude rates of awareness, treatment and control were 40.0% (n=6830), 27.5% (n=4695) and 21.9% (n=3736), respectively. The corresponding weighted prevalence rates were 29.8%, 41.6%, 28.9% and 22.9%. Older age (OR 2.03, 95% CI 1.82 to 2.23), urban residence (1.24, 1.19 to 1.31), higher education level (1.31, 1.21 to 1.42), current smoking (1.22, 1.15 to 1.29), alcohol consumption (1.20, 1.14 to 1.26), obesity (2.13, 1.99 to 2.29), history of hypertension (1.64, 1.56 to 1.71) and diabetes (1.92, 1.80 to 2.04) were identified as independent risk factors for dyslipidaemia (all p<0.001). Participants who were older, female, living in urban areas, had higher education levels, did not smoke or drink alcohol, had central obesity, had hypertension or had diabetes were more likely to be aware of their dyslipidaemia conditions, receive treatment and achieve serum lipid control to a standard level than their comparators (all p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of dyslipidaemia is relatively high in eastern China; however, awareness, treatment and control levels are relatively low.

Marques-Vidal P, Chekanova V, de Mestral C, Guessous I, Stringhini S. Trends and determinants of prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of dyslipidaemia in canton of Geneva, 2005-2019: Potent statins are underused. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY. CARDIOVASCULAR RISK AND PREVENTION 2023; 18:200187. [PMID: 37250185 PMCID: PMC10209490 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcrp.2023.200187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
We assessed 1) trends in prevalence, awareness, treatment and control rates of dyslipidaemia and associated factors, 2) the effect of statin generation/potency on control levels and 3) the effect of ESC lipid guidelines, on lipid management. Data from multiple cross-sectional, population-based surveys conducted between 2005 and 2019 in the canton of Geneva, Switzerland, were used. Prevalence, awareness, treatment and control rates of dyslipidaemia were 46.0% and 34.9% (p < 0.001), 67.0% and 77.3% (p = 0.124), 40.0% and 19.9% (p < 0.001), and 68.0% and 84.0% (p = 0.255), in 2005 and 2019, respectively. After multivariable adjustment, only the decrease in treatment rates was significant. Increasing age, higher BMI, history of hypertension or diabetes were positively associated with prevalence, while female sex was negatively associated. Female sex, history of diabetes or CVD were positively associated with awareness, while increasing age was negatively associated. Increasing age, smoking, higher BMI, history of hypertension, diabetes or CVD were positively associated with treatment, while female sex was negatively associated. Female sex was positively associated with control, while increasing age was negatively associated. Highly potent statins increased from 50.0% to 87.5% and third generation statins from 0% to 47.5% in 2009 and 2015, respectively. Increased statin potency was borderline (p = 0.059) associated with dyslipidaemia control. ESC guidelines had no effect regarding the prescription of more potent or higher generation statins. We conclude that in the canton of Geneva, treatment of diagnosed dyslipidaemia is low, but control is adequate. Women are undertreated but better controlled than men. The most potent hypolipidemic drugs are underused.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1186330. [PMID: 37476570 PMCID: PMC10354280 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1186330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Researchers have conducted a considerable number of epidemiological studies on dyslipidemia in China over recent years. Nevertheless, a representative study to comprehensively appraise for the epidemiological status of dyslipidemia is still lacked. This meta-analysis is intended to explore the pooled prevalence, rates of awareness, treatment, and control of dyslipidemia among adults in Chinese Mainland. Materials and methods A systematic review was performed on relevant cross-sectional studies published since January 2012 by searching six authoritative literature databases. Meta-analyses were conducted in included studies based on a random-effect model to summarize the epidemiological status of dyslipidemia in China. A potential source of heterogeneity was detected by subgroup analysis and meta-regression. Publication bias was assessed by Egger's test and funnel plots. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to examine the study quality's influence on the pooled estimate of prevalence and rates of awareness, treatment, and control. Results Forty-one original researches with a total of 1,310,402 Chinese participants were finally included in the meta-analysis. The prevalence, rates of awareness, treatment, and control of dyslipidemia were 42.1%, 18.2%, 11.6%, and 5.4%, respectively. With a pooled prevalence estimate at 24.5%, low HDL-C was the most prevalent among various dyslipidemia types, followed by hypertriglyceridemia (TG) (15.4%), hypercholesterolemia (TC) (8.3%), and high LDL-C (7.1%). The pooled prevalence of elevated serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] was 19.4%. By gender, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 47.3% in males and 38.8% in females. Subgroup analyses revealed that the prevalence in southern and urban areas were higher than their counterparts. Females and population in urban areas tended to possess higher rates of awareness, treatment, and control. Meta-regression analyses suggested that the year of screening influenced prevalence estimates for dyslipidemia. The impact of the study's quality on the pooled estimates is insignificant. Conclusion Our study suggested a severe epidemic situation of dyslipidemia among adults in Chinese Mainland. More importantly, the awareness, treatment, and control rates were extremely low, revealing that dyslipidemia is a grave health issue. Consequently, we should attach more importance to the management of dyslipidemia, especially in economically underdeveloped areas. Systematic review registration PROSPERO [CRD42022366456].

Prevalence of suicide attempts and correlates among first-episode and untreated major depressive disorder patients with comorbid dyslipidemia of different ages of onset in a Chinese Han population: a large cross-sectional study. BMC Psychiatry 2023; 23:10. [PMID: 36600266 PMCID: PMC9814200 DOI: 10.1186/s12888-022-04511-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with dyslipidemia are at increased risk for suicide, especially those with major depressive disorder (MDD). Few studies have investigated the independent effects of suicide attempts on comorbid dyslipidemia in patients with MDD. Moreover, there are no comparisons of differences in factors associated with suicide attempts among patients with MDD with dyslipidemia at different ages of onset. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of suicide attempts and associated variables in first episode and untreated patients with MDD with comorbid dyslipidemia at different ages of onset. METHODS We recruited 1718 patients with first-episode untreated MDD in this study. Demographical and clinical data were collected, and lipid profiles, thyroid function, and blood glucose levels were measured. The Hamilton Depression Scale 17 (HAMD-17), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Clinical Global Impression Severity Scale (CGI), and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) positive subscale were assessed for depression, anxiety and illness severity, as well as psychotic symptoms, respectively. RESULTS The percentage of patients with MDD with comorbid dyslipidemia was 61% (1048/1718). Among patients with MDD with comorbid dyslipidemia, the incidence of suicide attempts was 22.2% (170/765) for early adulthood onset and 26.5% (75/283) for mid-adulthood onset. Independent factors associated with suicide attempts in early adulthood onset patients with MDD with dyslipidemia were as follows: HAMA score (B = 0.328, P < 0.0001, OR = 1.388), Suspicion /persecution (B = -0.554, P = 0.006, OR = 0.575), CGI (B = 0.878, P < 0.0001, OR = 2.406), systolic blood pressure (B = 0.048, P = 0.004, OR = 1.049), hallucinatory behavior (B = 0.334, P = 0.025, OR = 1.397), and TPOAb (B = 0.003, p < 0.0001, OR = 1.003). Independent factors associated with suicide attempts in mid-adulthood onset patients with MDD with comorbid dyslipidemia were as follows: HAMA score (B = 0.182, P < 0.0001, OR = 1.200), CGI (B = 1.022, P < 0.0001, OR = 2.778), and TPOAb (B = 0.002, P = 0.009, OR = 1.002). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest an elevated risk of suicide attempts in patients with MDD with comorbid dyslipidemia. The incidence of suicide attempts was similar in the early- and mid-adulthood onset subgroups among patients with MDD with dyslipidemia, but the factors associated with suicide attempts were different in these two subgroups.

Abstract
Background Dyslipidemia is common among patients with heart failure, and it negatively impacts clinical outcomes. Limited data regarding the factors associated with poor lipid control in patients with HF patients. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate lipid control and to explore the factors associated with poor lipid control in patients with HF. Methods The current cross-sectional study was conducted at outpatient cardiology clinics at two major hospitals in Jordan. Variables including socio-demographics, biomedical variables, in addition to disease and medication characteristics were collected using medical records and custom-designed questionnaire. Medication adherence was assessed using the validated 4-item Medication Adherence Scale. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore significant and independent predictors of poor lipid control among the study participants. Results A total of 428 HF patients participated in the study. Results showed that 78% of the participants had poor lipid control. The predictors that were associated with poor lipid control included uncontrolled BP (OR = 0.552; 95% CI: 0.330-0.923; P < 0.05), higher Hb levels (OR = 1.178; 95% CI: 1.013-1.369; P < 0.05), and higher WBC (OR = 1.133; 95% CI: 1.031-1.246; P < 0.05). Conclusions This study revealed poor lipid control among patients with HF. Future intervention programs should focus on blood pressure control in order to improve health outcomes among HF patients with dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Background and Aims Dyslipidemia is obviously an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, which might further lead to disability and death in aged population. We thus performed the current study to evaluate the association between chronological age and dyslipidemia. Subjects and Methods A total number of 59,716 Chinese aged population (31,174 men and 28,542 women, average age 67.8y) were included in the current study. Age and sex were abstracted from medical records. Height, body weight, and blood pressure were measured by trained nurses. Serum concentration of total cholesterol (TC) and total triglycerides were performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent method after at least 8-h fast. Dyslipidemia was defined if total cholesterol≥5.7 mmol/L, or total triglycerides≥1.7 mmol/L, or self-reported history of dyslipidemia. Results The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 50.4% in the current study population. Compared to the youngest age group (60-64y), the adjusted odds ratio was 0.88 (95% CI: 0.84, 0.92), 0.77 (95% CI: 0.73, 0.81), 0.66 (95% CI: 0.61, 0.70), 0.55 (95% CI: 0.50, 0.59) for the participants who were 65 to 69, 70-74, 75-79, and ≥80 years old (p trend <0.001). Excluding participants with low body weight and with overweight and obesity, with high blood pressure and history of hypertension, with high fasting blood glucose and history of diabetes, generated similar results with main analysis. Conclusion Chronological age was closely associated with the risk of dyslipidemia in Chinese aged population.

Clinical significance of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and sdLDL-C for coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged ≥ 65 years. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:252. [PMID: 36397150 PMCID: PMC9682485 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01668-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD) share many common pathological and physiological characteristics, there are few studies assessing the predictive capacity of novel biomarkers in occurrence and development of CAD in T2DM patients aged ≥ 65 years. In addition, T2DM patients aged ≥ 65 years are prone to CAD. Therefore, it is of great significance to find novel biomarkers for the development CAD in T2DM. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, 579 T2DM patients aged ≥ 65 years were consecutively enrolled in this work, and 177 of whom had major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE: cardiovascular or cerebrovascular death, acute coronary syndrome, coronary stent implantation, and stroke) during the follow up. Univariate and multivariate factors were employed to analyze the correlation between each variable and the occurrence of MACCE, and the Spearman's rank correlation analysis was performed to assess the relationships between Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and small dense low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) (sdLDL-C). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was adopted to determine the predictive value of NGAL and sdLDL-C elevation for MACCE in T2DM patients aged ≥ 65 years. RESULTS After a median 48 months follow-up [19, (10 ~ 32) ], the levels of NGAL, sdLDL-C, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), LDL-C, and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) were significantly higher while those of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A I (ApoA-I) were lower in MACCE positive group. NGAL correlated to body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.391, P = 0.001) and triglyceride (TG) (r = 0.228, P = 0.032), and high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) (r = 0.251, P = 0.007), and neutrophils (r = 0.454, P = 0.001), sdlDL-C level was found to be positively correlated with LDL-C (r = 0.413, P = 0.001), TG (r = 0.432, P = 0.001), and ApoB (r = 0.232, P = 0.002); and it was negatively correlated with HDL-C (r = -0.362, P = 0.031) and ApoA-I (r = -0.402, P = 0.001). Age-adjusted Cox regression analysis showed that NGAL (HR = 1.006, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.005-1.008, P < 0.001) and sdLDL-C (HR = 1.052, 95% CI: 1.037-1.066, P < 0.001) were independently associated with occurrence of MACCE. ROC curve analysis showed that NGAL (area under ROC (AUC) = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.75-0.84, P < 0.001) and sdlDL-C (AUC = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.72-0.80, P < 0.001) could predict the occurrence of MACCE (area under ROC. NGAL combined with sdlDL-C could predict the occurrence of MACCE well (AUC = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.84-0.90, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The higher NGAL and sdLDL-C in T2DM patients aged ≥ 65 years were significantly and independently associated with the risk of MACCE, and showed higher clinical values than other lipid biomarkers or other chronic inflammation, so they were expected to be the most effective predictors of MACCE assessment.

Abstract
Globally, dyslipidemia is now become a leading risk factor for many adverse health outcomes, especially in the middle-aged and elderly. Recent evidence suggests that exposure to greenness and the relief of a psychological burden may decrease the prevalence of dyslipidemia. The objective of our study was to examine whether a green space can moderate the association between mental health status and dyslipidemia. Our study selected the datasets of depression symptoms, dyslipidemia from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), and the satellite-based normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from the 30 m annual maximum NDVI dataset in China in 2018. Ultimately, a total of 10,022 middle-aged and elderly Chinese were involved in our study. Multilevel logistic regressions were performed to examine the association between symptoms of depression and dyslipidemia, as well as the moderate effect of greenness exposure on the association. Our research suggested that adults diagnosed with depression symptoms were more likely to suffer from dyslipidemia. In addition, the NDVI was shown to moderate the effect of depression on dyslipidemia significantly, though the effect was attenuated as depression increased. Regarding the moderate effect of the NDVI on the above association across age, gender, and residence, the findings presented that females, the elderly, and respondents living in urban areas were at a greater risk of having dyslipidemia, although the protective effect of the NDVI was considered. Likewise, the moderate effect of the NDVI gradually decreased as the level of depression increased in different groups. The current study conducted in China provides insights into the association between mental health, green space, and dyslipidemia. Hence, improving mental health and green spaces can be potential targets for medical interventions to decrease the prevalence of dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one microvascular complication of diabetes. About 30% of diabetic patients can develop DN, which is closely related to the high incidence and mortality of heart diseases, and then develop end-stage renal diseases. Therefore, early detection and screening of high-risk patients with DN is important. Herein, we explored the differences of serum transcriptomics between DN and non-DN in type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. We obtained 110 target genes using weighted correlation network analysis. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis indicates these target genes are mainly related to membrane adhesion, alpha-amino acid biosynthesis, metabolism, and binding, terminus, inhibitory synapse, clathrinid-sculpted vesicle, kinase activity, hormone binding, receptor activity, and transporter activity. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis indicates the process of DN in diabetic patients can involve synaptic vesicle cycle, cysteine and methionine metabolism, N-Glycan biosynthesis, osteoclast differentiation, and cAMP signaling pathway. Next, we detected the expression levels of hub genes in a retrospective cohort. Then, we developed a risk score tool included in the prediction model for early DN in T2DM patients. The prediction model was well applied into clinical practice, as confirmed by internal validation and several other methods. A novel DN risk model with relatively high prediction accuracy was established based on clinical characteristics and hub genes of serum detection. The estimated risk score can help clinicians develop individualized intervention programs for DN in T2DM. External validation data are required before individualized intervention measures.

Zhou S, Lu H, Zhang X, Shi X, Jiang S, Wang L, Lu Q. Paraben exposures and their interactions with ESR1/2 genetic polymorphisms on hypertension. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 213:113651. [PMID: 35690089 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The widely used paraben preservatives have been frequently detected in human urine, and shown to disrupt the endocrine system. Recently, several epidemiologic studies have investigated the associations between paraben exposures and hypertension risk, but findings are inconsistent. Genetic susceptibility variation may contribute to the conflicting results. This study aimed to explore the associations of paraben exposures and their interactions with estrogen receptor genes 1 and 2 (ESR1 and ESR2) polymorphisms with hypertension. We conducted a hospital-based case-control study involving 396 hypertension cases and 396 controls in Wuhan, China. The urinary paraben concentrations were determined using a liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometer. The genotyping of ESR1 and ESR2 was performed using the Applied Biosystems 3730 XL sequencer. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to examine the associations between urinary paraben concentrations and hypertension risk. Gene-environment interactions were estimated on both multiplicative and additive scales. The results showed that urinary ethylparaben (EtP), propylparaben (PrP), and ∑parabens (∑PBs) levels were positively associated with the risk of hypertension (Ptrend<0.05). Compared with their reference groups, subjects in the highest tertile of EtP, PrP, and ∑PBs had a 4.05-fold (95% CI: 2.56, 6.41), 2.72-fold (95% CI: 1.76, 4.20), and 1.60-fold (95% CI: 1.08, 2.36) increased risk of hypertension, respectively. When stratified by sex, the hypertensive effect of EtP was more pronounced in males (Pinteraction = 0.012). Furthermore, interaction analysis showed that PrP exposure interacted with ESR1 rs2234693 polymorphism on hypertension risk, with the significance of multiplicative (Pinteraction = 0.043) and additive (RERI = 1.27, AP = 0.52). Our results suggested that paraben exposure was positively related to hypertension risk, and that ESR1 rs2234693 polymorphism might modify the parabens exposure-related hypertensive effect.

Predictors of adherence to prescribed antihypertensive medications among Hypertensive (15-49 years) in India: A secondary data analysis of National Family Health Survey 4. J Family Med Prim Care 2022; 11:5807-5814. [PMID: 36505527 PMCID: PMC9731078 DOI: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_164_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Revised: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Adherence to medications is one of the key determinants of therapeutic control of high blood pressure and is seen as a bottleneck in our fight against hypertension control. We have little scientific evidence from India that highlights the determinants of treatment adherence. Aim The purpose of this study was to identify the predictor adherence to the currently prescribed antihypertensive medications. Material and Methods We did a secondary data analysis of the National Family Health Survey, 2015-2016 datasets. As there were no direct variables to measure adherence, this was derived from the responses to the survey question: "currently taking a prescribed hypertensive medication to lower Blood Pressure" among those already diagnosed as hypertensives by the physician. The other sociodemographic and household-level variables were used as independent variables for analysis. Results The level of awareness about their hypertensive status among the 15-49-year-olds who were subjected to blood pressure measurement was 9.34% (70,267/80,3081). Of these, 70,267 participants, 65878 with valid hypertensive individual data were included in the final analysis. Among them, 26.78% are currently adhering to antihypertensive medication. Female gender (adj OR; 95% CI: 1.17 [1.09-1.24]) and non-reserved caste ([OR] 1.24; 95% [CI]: 1.18-1.32) depicted better adherence to the current treatment. The hypertensives who preferred taking treatment from shops or at home or some other place in comparison to health facilities had a significant association with adherence (adj OR: 1.64; 95% CI: [1.43-1.88]). Conclusion The current study reported low adherence to the current antihypertensive medication. Gender, higher age group, obesity, and place of taking the treatment were strongly associated with adherence to treatment.

Prev Med Rep 2022; 28:101874. [PMID: 35801002 PMCID: PMC9254124 DOI: 10.1016/j.pmedr.2022.101874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The national prevalence of dyslipidemia was 81.6%, Among those with dyslipidemia, 9.3% were aware, Among those who knew, the proportion of lipid-lowering drug treatment was 50.3%, Among those taking lipid-lowering drugs, 25.4% had their dyslipidemia controlled.
Dyslipidaemia is increasing with low awareness and treatment in low resourced countries. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence, distribution, and correlates of dyslipidaemia and its awareness, treatment, and control among people (18–69 years) in Jordan. In a national cross-sectional survey, a total of 3,132 individuals (mean age: 41.7 years) that took part in the Jordan cross-sectional STEPS survey in 2019 and had complete lipid measurements. Dyslipidemia was defined using the guidelines of the Adult Treatment Panel III. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 81.6%, 74.0% low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), 28.2% high triglyceride (TG), 10.1% high total cholesterol (TC) and 8.7% high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Among those with dyslipidaemia, 9.3% were aware. Among those who knew, the proportion of lipid-lowering drug treatment was 50.3%, and among those taking lipid-lowering drugs, 25.4% had their dyslipidaemia controlled. In adjusted logistic regression, in both sexes, overweight (AOR: 2.14, 95% CI: 1.49–3.36), obesity (AOR: 2.47, 95% CI: 1.55–3.94), diabetes (AOR: 2.63, 95% CI: 1.30–5.34) were positively and moderate physical activity (AOR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.37–0.95) was negatively associated with prevalence of dyslipidemia. Older age, overweight, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease were positively associated, and moderate physical activity was negatively associated with awareness of dyslipidemia. Four out of five adults in Jordan had dyslipidaemia and less than one in ten were aware. Several factors associated with the prevalence, awareness, and treatment of dyslipidaemia were identified that can be used to target public health interventions.

Abstract
Aim This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between the prognostic nutrition index (PNI) of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification and the complex relationship between PNI combined body mass index (BMI) and NYHA classification. Methods The PNI was applied to 17,413 consecutive patients with CHD. Patients were divided into three groups according to PNI: normal nutrition (PNI ≥ 38), moderate malnutrition (35 < PNI < 38), and severe malnutrition (PNI ≤ 35). A total of 2,052 CHD patients with BMI were selected and stratified by combined subgroups of nutritional status and BMI. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between the PNI and NYHA classification and to adjust for confounding factors. Results The prevalence of malnutrition among the 17,413participants with CHD was 4.2%. Moderate and severe malnutrition were significantly related to NYHA class III and V, and the strongest relationship was observed in NYHA class V (odd ratio [OR]: 6.564; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.043–10.658). Malnourished-underweight patients and malnourished-overweight patients were significantly associated with higher NYHA classification, and malnourished-underweight patients (OR: 8.038; 95% CI: 2.091–30.892) were significantly more than malnourished-overweight patients (OR: 3.580; 95% CI: 1.286–9.966). Conclusion There were differences in the NYHA classification of CHD patients with different nutritional statuses. The lower the PNI, the worse the NYHA classification of CHD patients. Malnourished-underweight patients had a worse NYHA classification than malnourished-overweight patients.

Abstract
Our purpose of this study was to investigate the use of statins in elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases during regular physical examination and to analyze the relationship between statins and glucose and lipid metabolism and adverse cardiovascular prognosis. From January 2019 to December 2021, 2121 elderly patients with cardiovascular disease underwent regular physical examination as the study subjects to investigate the use and intensity of statins. The patients were divided into the dosing group (n = 1848) and the nondosing group (n = 273) according to whether they were taking statins or not. The cardiac function, glucose and lipid metabolism indexes, and cardiovascular adverse events were compared between the two groups. Statin use in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease was 87.13% (1848/2121). The intensity of statin use decreased with age (P < 0.05); the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was greater in the medicated group than in the nonmedicated group, and the left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter (LVDd) and left ventricular end-systolic internal diameter (LVDs) were smaller than in the nonmedicated group (P < 0.05). The total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels were lower in the medicated group than in the nonmedicated group, the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were higher than in the nonmedicated group, and the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values were lower than in the nonmedicated group (P < 0.05). The overall incidence of cardiovascular adverse events in the medicated group was lower than that in the nonmedicated group (P < 0.05). Statin use was higher in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease; the intensity of drug use decreased with age. The patients' cardiac function, glucose metabolism, and prognosis were significantly improved after statin treatment.

Abstract
(1) Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. It often diagnosed at advanced stages, and with increasing incidence at younger generation. CRC poses a heavy financial burden and a huge public health challenge nowadays. Lipoproteins and serum lipids may have an influence on carcinogenesis by making oxidative stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Dyslipidemia plays a potential role in the risk of CRC. The purpose of this study is to use nationally representative samples to determine epidemiologic characteristics of CRC in the Taiwanese population, and to evaluate the associations between baseline levels of lipid profile and their effect on risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) comprehensively and quantitatively. The control of dyslipidemia in primary and secondary prevention may reduce the disease burden of CRC. (2) Methods: This is a nationwide long-term community-based prospective cohort study. Data were retrieved from the nationwide population-based Taiwanese Survey on Hypertension, Hyperglycemia and Hyperlipidemia (TwSHHH). Variables were estimated by the Cox proportional hazards model which was then further adjusted for age. We also calculated the relative ratios (RRs) of CRC for joint categories of serum cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoproteins cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level, and to examine their combined effect and statistical interactions. (3) Results: Male, age, waist circumference, diabetes mellitus (DM), high TG, high cholesterol level, smoking history, and metabolic syndrome were proved to increase the risk of CRC. In addition, DM patients with a TG level ≥150 mg/dL and cholesterol ≥180 mg/dL had a 4.118-fold higher risk of CRC as compared with a TG level <150 mg/dL and cholesterol level <180 mg/dL, which was a significant difference (95% CI, 1.061−15.975; p = 0.0407). (4) Conclusions: Patients with DM should control TG and cholesterol level through diet, exercise, or taking medications more aggressively, not only for preventing cardiovascular disease, but also for first prevention of CRC. The study can be valuable for the clinicians and policy makers to implement more precisely goals about dyslipidemia management.

Abstract
With rapid economic growth and changes at all levels (including environmental, social, individual), China is facing a cardiovascular disease (CVD) crisis. In China, more than 40% of deaths are attributable to CVDs, and the number of CVD deaths has almost doubled in the past decades, in contrast to a decline in high-income countries. The increasing prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors underlies the rise of CVDs, and thus curbing the rising cardiometabolic pandemic is imperative. Few articles have addressed this topic and provided an updated review of the epidemiology of cardiometabolic risk factors in China.In this narrative review, we describe the temporal changes in the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in the past decades and their management in China, including both the well-recognized risk factors (general obesity, central obesity, diabetes, prediabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension) and the less recognized ones (hyperhomocysteinemia, hyperuricemia, and high C-reactive protein). We also summarize findings from landmark clinical trials regarding effective interventions and treatments for cardiometabolic risk factors. Finally, we propose strategies and approaches to tackle the rising pandemic of cardiometabolic risk factors in China. We hope that this review will raise awareness of cardiometabolic risk factors not only in Chinese population but also global visibility, which may help to prevent cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence, distribution and correlates of dyslipidaemia among people (15-69 years) in Mongolia. National data were analyzed from 4,895 individuals (15-69 years, median age = 35 years) that took part in the Mongolia cross-sectional STEPS survey in 2019, and had complete lipid measurements. Dyslipidaemia was defined using the guidelines of the Adult Treatment Panel III. The prevalence of dyslipidaemia was 58.6%, 31.7% high triglycerides (TG), 26.9% high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), 26.9% high total cholesterol (TC) and 14.6% low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Among those with dyslipidaemia, 6.2% were aware. Among those who were aware, the proportion of lipid-lowering drug treatment was 18.9% and among those who took lipid-lowering drugs, 21.5% had their dyslipidaemia controlled. In adjusted logistic regression, older age (40-69 years) (AOR: 1.19, 95% CI 1.02-1.40), urban residence (AOR: 1.24, 95% CI 1.04-1.48), obesity call II (AOR: 2.89, 95% CI 2.29-3.66), hypertension (AOR: 1.33, 95% CI 1.11-1.59), and diabetes (AOR: 1.62, 95% CI 1.20-2.18) were positively, and male sex (AOR: 0.84, 95% CI 0.72-1.00) was negatively associated with dyslipidaemia prevalence. Six in ten Mongolians 15 years and older had dyslipidaemia. Several factors associated with dyslipidaemia that can be used to target public health interventions were identified.

Front Public Health 2022; 10:887065. [PMID: 35586010 PMCID: PMC9108164 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.887065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
To demonstrate the trends of hypercholesterolemia change in Shenzhen, China from 1997 to 2018. Participants were residents aged 18 to 69 years in Shenzhen, China, and were recruited using multi-stage cluster sampling. All participants were surveyed about their socio-demographics, lifestyle, occupation, mental health, and social support. Physical measurements and blood samples for subsequent measurements were collected according to a standardized protocol. A total of 26,621 individuals participated in the three surveys with 8,266 in 1997, 8,599 in 2009, and 9,756 in 2018. In both women and men, there was a significant downward linear trend in age-adjusted mean high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) from 1997 to 2018 (women: 0.17 ± 0.06, p = 0.008 vs. men: 0.21 ± 0.04, p < 0.001). In contrast, the age-adjusted total triglycerides and total cholesterol in both sexes have demonstrated an increasing trend in the past two decades. However, no significant changes in age-adjusted low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) in both men and women between 2009 and 2018 were found (women: 0.00 ± 0.02, p = 0.85 vs. men 0.02 ± 0.03, p = 0.34). The age-adjusted prevalence of hypercholesterolemia observed a rapid rise from 1997 to 2009 and appeared to be stabilized in 2018, which was similar to the trend of the prevalence of high total triglycerides in women. Changes in trends were varied by different types of lipids traits. Over the observed decades, there was a clear increasing trend of prevalence of low HDL-C (<1.04 mmol/L) in both sexes (women: 8.8% in 1997 and doubled to reach 17.5% in 2018 vs. men was 22.1% in 1997 and increased to 39.1% in 2018), particularly among younger age groups. Hence, a bespoke public health strategy aligned with the characteristics of lipids epidemic considered by sex and age groups needs to be developed and implemented.

Lipids Health Dis 2022; 21:16.

Abstract
Background Accumulating evidence suggests sleep duration may be involved in metabolic regulation. However, studies regarding the association with the early stage of the metabolic disease are limited, and the findings were inconsistent. Methods A study among 4922 asymptomatic adults was conducted based on a Chinese national survey in 2009. The early stage of metabolic diseases was evaluated using three proxies: triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C), the product of triglyceride and fasting glucose (TyG), and lipid accumulation product (LAP). Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were used to explore the associations of sleep duration with the three indicators. Results The linear regression models revealed that, among females, sleep duration <7 h per day, compared with 7-9 h, was associated with an increased value of LAP and TyG by 25.232% (95%CI: 10.738%, 41.623%) and 0.104 (95%CI: 0.024, 0.185), respectively, in the crude model. The effects were attenuated but remained significant for LAP (11.405%; 95%CI: 1.613%, 22.262%). Similarly, the logistic regression models further found that sleep duration <7 h per day could increase the risk of elevated LAP (OR: 1.725, 95CI%:1.042, 2.856) after adjusting for multiple covariates. By contrast, no associations were found among males. Conclusions Short sleep duration was associated with subclinical indicators of metabolic diseases, and females were more susceptible to the association.

Cao L, Zhou J, Chen Y, Wu Y, Wang Y, Liu T, Fu C. Effects of Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference, Waist-to-Height Ratio and Their Changes on Risks of Dyslipidemia among Chinese Adults: The Guizhou Population Health Cohort Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 19:ijerph19010341. [PMID: 35010598 PMCID: PMC8750900 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19010341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2021] [Revised: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effects of different anthropometric indices and their changes on the risk of incident dyslipidemia among the Chinese population. From the Guizhou population health cohort study, 2989 Chinese adults without dyslipidemia at baseline were followed up. Anthropometric parameters including waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and their changes in the latter two indices, and serum lipids were tested after at least 8 h fasting. Hazard ratio (HR), adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), and 95% confidential interval (CI) were calculated to estimate the association between anthropometric parameters and dyslipidemia risk using multivariate Cox regression. A total of 2089 (69.98%) new dyslipidemia cases were identified over an average follow-up of 7.0 years. Baseline BMI (aHR = 1.12, 95%CI 1.01, 1.23) and WHtR (aHR = 1.06, 95%CI 1.00, 1.13) were positively associated with higher risks of incident dyslipidemia but not WC. Each 5.0 kg/m2 increment of BMI or 0.05-unit increment of WHtR was significantly associated with 43% or 25% increased risk of incident dyslipidemia, respectively. The aHRs (95%CI) of incident dyslipidemia for subjects maintaining or developing general obesity were 2.19 (1.53, 3.12) or 1.46 (1.22, 1.75), and 1.54 (1.23, 1.82) or 1.30 (1.06, 1.60) for subjects maintaining or developing abdominal obesity, respectively. Linear trends for aHRs of BMI, WHtR change, and BMI change were observed (p for trend: 0.021, <0.001, <0.001, respectively). BMI, WHtR, and their changes were closely associated with the incidence of dyslipidemia for Chinese adults. Loss in BMI and WHtR had protective effects on incident dyslipidemia, whereas gain of BMI or WHtR increased the dyslipidemia risk. Interventions to control or reduce BMI and WHtR to the normal range are important for the early prevention of dyslipidemia, especially for participants aged 40 years or above, male participants, and urban residents with poor control of obesity.
