Abstract
BACKGROUND As the population ages, chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) multimorbidity has emerged as a major public health issue globally. This study examines ethnic disparities in prevalence of NCDs and its multimorbidity among rural southwest Chinese older adults. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted in rural southwest population aged ≥ 60 years consisting of 5,642 consenting participants of Han and three ethnic minority groups (Dai, Ha Ni, and Bai). Information about participants' demographic characteristics and lifestyle behaviors was obtained using a standard questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements including height, weight, and waist circumference, fasting blood sugar and blood pressure measurement, as well as post-bronchodilator spirometry test were recorded for each participant. RESULTS The age-standardized prevalence of five common chronic NCDs- hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - and its multimorbidity was 72.8%, 15.9%, 4.0%, 10.0%, 9.8%, and 27.6%, respectively. Bai participants had both the highest overall and sex-specific prevalence rates of hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and COPD, whereas Han participants had the highest rates of CHD (P < 0.01). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that female and older participants had a higher probability of chronic NCDs multimorbidity than their counterparts (P < 0.01). Bai ethnic minority participants were more likely to have NCDs multimorbidity while Ha Ni and Dai ethnic minority participants were less likely to have NCD multimorbidity relative to the Han participants (P < 0.05). Older adults with a higher level of education and family history of chronic NCDs, and who were also current smokers, current drinkers, obese, centrally obese, and physically inactive had a greater probability of developing chronic NCDs multimorbidity (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Ethnicity and individual demographic and lifestyle factors significantly impact prevalence of chronic NCDs multimorbidity. Future chronic NCDs prevention and control strategies must be tailored to address ethnicity, and culturally tailored lifestyle interventions may reduce the prevalence of chronic NCDs multimorbidity in rural southwest China.

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

Abstract
Background Although sleep disorders have been linked to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the association between sleep characteristics and CVDs remains inconclusive. We aimed to examine the association of nighttime sleep duration, daytime napping, and sleep patterns with CVDs and explore whether genetic and early‐life environmental factors account for this association. Methods and Results In the Swedish Twin Registry, 12 268 CVD‐free twin individuals (mean age=70.3 years) at baseline were followed up to 18 years to detect incident CVDs. Sleep duration, napping, and sleep patterns (assessed by sleep duration, chronotype, insomnia, snoring, and daytime sleepiness) were self‐reported at baseline. CVDs were ascertained through the Swedish National Patient Registry and the Cause of Death Register. Data were analyzed using a Cox model. In the multiadjusted Cox model, compared with 7 to 9 hours/night, the hazard ratios (HRs) of CVDs were 1.14 (95% CI, 1.01–1.28) for <7 hours/night and 1.10 (95% CI, 1.00–1.21) for ≥10 hours/night, respectively. Compared with no napping, napping 1 to 30 minutes (HR, 1.11 [95% CI, 1.03–1.18]) and >30 minutes (HR, 1.23 [95% CI, 1.14–1.33]) were related to CVDs. Furthermore, a poor sleep pattern was associated with CVDs (HR, 1.22 [95% CI, 1.05–1.41]). The co‐twin matched control analyses showed similar results as the unmatched analyses, and there was no significant interaction between sleep characteristics and zygosity (P values >0.05). Conclusions Short or long sleep (<7 or ≥10 hours/night), napping, and poor sleep patterns are associated with an increased CVD risk. Genetic and early‐life environmental factors may not account for the sleep–CVD association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The association between higher body mass index (BMI) and cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases) is not well understood. We aimed to examine the association of BMI and its long-term changes with cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) and explore the role of familial background and healthy lifestyle in this association. METHODS Within the Swedish Twin Registry, 36 622 CMD-free individuals aged ≥40 were followed for up to 16 years. BMI data was collected at baseline and 25-35 years prior to baseline. Healthy lifestyle (non-smoking, no/mild alcohol consumption, and regular physical activity) was assessed as unfavourable (none or only one of these factors) vs. favourable (two or three). Incident CMDs were identified by linkage with the Swedish National Patient Registry. Two strategies were followed: 1) Cox models in all twin individuals; 2) stratified Cox models in CMD-discordant twin pairs. RESULTS At baseline, 16 195 (44.2%) study participants had overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) and 11 202 (30.6%) developed CMDs over follow-up. Among all participants, the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of developing any CMD was 1.52 (1.45-1.58) for people with overweight/obesity compared to normal BMI (20-25 kg/m2). Compared to stable normal BMI, HRs (95% CIs) of CMDs were 1.28 (1.02-1.59) and 1.33 (1.24-1.43) for only earlier life or only later life overweight/obesity, respectively, and 1.69 (1.55-1.85) for overweight/obesity both in earlier and later life. In stratified Cox analyses conducted among all CMD-discordant twin pairs, overweight/obesity was associated with greater risk of CMDs (1.37, 95% CI 1.18-1.61). In joint effect analysis, the risk of CMDs related to overweight/obesity was diminished 32% among people with a favourable lifestyle (1.51, 95% CI 1.44-1.58) compared to those with overweight/obesity and an unfavourable lifestyle (2.20, 95% CI 2.03-2.38). CONCLUSIONS Overweight/obesity is associated with an increased risk of CMDs, and shared genetic and early-life environmental factors might not account for this association. However, a favourable lifestyle could attenuate the risk of high BMI-related CMDs.

Abstract
At present, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global public health emergency, bringing a great threat to human health. This study aims to evaluate and analyze the factors that influence the quality of life (QOL) of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) during COVID-19 to provide a realistic basis for improving their QOL. A total of 70 patients with CHD were selected through convenience sampling from three heart rehabilitation centers. The cross-sectional survey of the study cases were carried out using an online survey platform. All of the participants completed a general situation questionnaire, and QOL was assessed through the 36-item Short Form Health Survey. Results showed that the overall QOL of patients with CHD during COVID-19 was poor, having an average score of 65.99 ± 10.97. Moreover, multivariate linear regression analysis showed that worry about COVID-19 (P < 0.05) and different exercise intervention types (P < 0.05) were the main factors affecting the QOL of patients. On the one hand, positive measures should be taken to provide psychological counseling to ease their sense of concern. On the other hand, engaging in exercise is more important for these patients to improve physical function, particularly Tai Chi exercises.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between IL-35 genes polymorphism and susceptibility to coronary heart disease has not been tested in the largest Han population in China. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin-35 (IL-35) genes and its relationship with environment on the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS We performed Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test on the control group. The relationship between the four SNPs of IL-35 genes and the risk of coronary heart disease was studied by multivariate logistic regression. The best interaction was identified with generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR). Logistic regression was used for investigation on association between four SNPs and CHD risk. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis showed that the C allele of rs428253 and the G allele of rs2243115 were independently correlated with increased risk of CHD, and adjusted ORs (95% CI) were 1.91 (1.28-2.64) and 1.80 (1.30-2.23), respectively. However, there was no significant association between CHD and rs4740 or rs568408. GMDR model indicated a best model for CHD risk consisted of rs428253 and current smoking, which scored 10/10 for both the sign test and cross-validation consistency (p = 0.010). Therefore, this overall multi-dimensional model had the highest cross-validation consistency, regardless of how the data were divided. This provided an evidence of gene-environment interaction effects. We also found that current smokers with rs428253-GC/CC genotype have the highest CHD risk, compared to never smokers with rs428253-GG genotype, OR (95% CI) = 3.04 (1.71-4.41), after adjustment for age, gender, hypertension, T2DM and alcohol consumption status. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the C allele of rs428253 and the G allele of rs2243115, and the interaction rs428253 and current smoking were correlated with increased risk of CHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Inflammatory cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Few studies have investigated the association between interleukin-35 (IL-35) genetic variants and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). We examined the association between IL-35 polymorphisms and CHD in the Chinese Zhuang population. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 707 CHD patients and 707 age-matched and sex-matched controls were enrolled in this case-control study. Genotypes of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL-35, including rs428253, rs6613, rs9807813, rs2243115, rs568408, rs582054, rs583911, rs4740, and rs393581, were examined by MassArray. Plasma IL-35 level was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association between the SNPs and the risk of CHD. RESULTS In the Chinese Zhuang population, compared with the GG genotype of EBI3 rs428253, individuals with the CC genotype had a 2.02-fold (95% confidence interval: 1.07-3.84, P=0.031) higher risk of CHD. Further adjustment for potential risk factors did not alter the positive association (CC vs. GG, odds ratio=2.30, 95% confidence interval: 1.16-4.54, P=0.042). SNPs rs4740, rs2243115, rs568408, and rs582054 were not statistically related to the risk of CHD. The plasma IL-35 levels showed a marginally significant difference between rs428253 genotypes [GG: 13.39 (7.89-19.25) vs. CC+GC: 17.53 (8.98-22.56) pg/ml, P=0.057]. CONCLUSION The EBI3 rs428253 CC genotype was associated with an increased risk of CHD in the Chinese Zhuang population, although no significant difference in IL-35 levels was observed between genotypes in healthy controls.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW To summarize current knowledge on interactions between genetic variants and lifestyle factors (G×L) associated with the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) and prioritize future research. RECENT FINDINGS Genetic risk and combined lifestyle factors and behaviors have a log-additive effect on the risk of developing CAD. First, we describe genetic and lifestyle factors associated with CAD and then focus on G×L interactions. The majority of G×L interaction studies are small-scale candidate gene studies that lack replication and therefore provide spurious results. Only a few studies, of which most use genetic risk scores or genome-wide approaches to test interactions, are robust in number and analysis strategy. These studies provide evidence for the existence of G×L interactions in the development of CAD. Further G×L interactions studies are important as they contribute to our understanding of disease pathophysiology and possibly provide insights for improving interventions or personalized recommendations.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a common complex disease resulting from the interaction of multiple environmental and genetic factors. To assess the potential relationship of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) rs699947 C>A, rs3025039 C>T and rs2010963 G>C polymorphisms with CHD risk, a comprehensive meta-analysis was conducted. A systematic search of EMBASE and PubMed online database for publications on VEGFA polymorphisms and risk of CHD was carried out. Crude Odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to determine the association. A total of ten publications including 22 trails involving 2097 cases and 2867 controls were included in our pooled analysis. Overall, results of the present meta-analysis demonstrated a significant association between VEGFA rs699947 C>A polymorphism and an increased risk of CHD. After stratifying by ethnicity and CHD type, the association was also obtained. A significant association between VEGFA rs3025039 C>T polymorphism and risk of CHD was also found. For VEGFA rs2010963 G>C polymorphism, the polymorphism was associated with MI risk. In conclusion, our findings suggest that VEGFA rs699947 C>A, rs3025039 C>T and rs2010963 G>C polymorphisms are risk factors for CHD. In the future, large sample size and well-designed epidemiologic studies are needed to confirm these conclusions.

CIRCULATION-GENOMIC AND PRECISION MEDICINE 2018; 11:e001856. [PMID: 29874179 PMCID: PMC6319562 DOI: 10.1161/circgen.117.001856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2017] [Accepted: 11/20/2017] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a multifactorial disease with both genetic and environmental components. Smoking is the most important modifiable risk factor for CHD. Our aim was to test whether the increased CHD incidence by smoking is modified by genetic predisposition to CHD. METHODS AND RESULTS Our study included 24 443 individuals from the MDCS (Malmö Diet and Cancer Study). A weighted polygenic risk score (PRS) was created by summing the number of risk alleles for 50 single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with CHD. Individuals were classified as current, former, or never smokers. Interactions were primarily tested between smoking status and PRS and secondarily with individual single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Then, the predictive use of PRS for CHD incidence was tested among different smoking categories. During a median follow-up time of 19.4 years, 3217 incident CHD cases were recorded. The association between smoking and CHD was modified by the PRS (Pinteraction=0.005). The magnitude of increased incidence of CHD by smoking was highest among individuals in the lowest tertile of PRS (odds ratio, 1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.29-1.56 per smoking risk category) compared with the highest tertile (odds ratio, 1.20; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-1.30 per smoking risk category). This interaction was stronger among men (Pinteraction=0.001) compared with women (Pinteraction=0.44). The PRS provided a significantly better net reclassification and discrimination on top of traditional risk factors among never smokers compared with current smokers (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Genetic predisposition to CHD modifies the associated increased CHD risk by smoking. The PRS has a better predictive use among never smokers compared with smokers.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review provides a brief synopsis of sexual dimorphism in atherosclerosis with an emphasis on genetic studies aimed to better understand the atherosclerotic process and clinical outcomes in women. Such studies are warranted because development of atherosclerosis, impact of several traditional risk factors, and burden of coronary heart disease (CHD) differ between women and men. RECENT FINDINGS While most candidate gene studies pool women and men and adjust for sex, some sex-specific studies provide evidence of association between candidate genes and prevalent and incident CHD in women. So far, most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) also failed to consider sex-specific associations. The few GWAS focused on women tended to have small sample sizes and insufficient power to reject the null hypothesis of no association even if associations exist. Few studies consider that sex can modify the effect of gene variants on CHD. Sufficiently large-scale genetic studies in women of different race/ethnic groups, taking into account possible gene-gene and gene-environment interactions as well as hormone-mediated epigenetic mechanisms, are needed. Using the same disease definition for women and men might not be appropriate. Accurate phenotyping and inclusion of relevant outcomes in women, together with targeting the entire spectrum of atherosclerosis, could help address the contribution of genes to sexual dimorphism in atherosclerosis. Discovered genetic loci should be taken forward for replication and functional studies to elucidate the plausible underlying biological mechanisms. A better understanding of the etiology of atherosclerosis in women would facilitate future prevention efforts and interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the gene-environment interaction of physical activity and body mass index (BMI) using the Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR). METHODS A total of 19,308 same-sex adult twins from CNTR were included in the analysis. Twin zygosity was determined by self-reported questionnaire. Height and weight were measured using self-reported questionnaire. The vigorous physical activity was defined as greater or equal to five times a week of at least 30 min moderate- or high-intensity physical activity. A twin structural equation model was used to analyze the gene-environment interaction of vigorous exercise with BMI among 13,506 monozygotic twins and 5,802 dizygotic twins. RESULTS A structural equation model adjusting for age and sex found vigorous exercise significantly moderated the additive genetic effects (P < 0.001) and shared environmental effects (P < 0.001) on BMI. The genetic contributions to BMI were significantly lower for people who adopted a physically active lifestyle [h(2) = 40%, 95% confidence interval (CI): 35%-46%] than those who were relative sedentary (h(2) = 59%, 95% CI: 52%-66%). The observed gene-physical activity interaction was more pronounced in men than women. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that adopting a physically active lifestyle may help to reduce the genetic influence on BMI among the Chinese population.

Association between Apolipoprotein C-III Gene Polymorphisms and Coronary Heart Disease: A Meta-analysis. Aging Dis 2016; 7:36-44.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein C-III (APOC3) gene have been reported to be associated with coronary heart disease (CHD), but the data so far have been conflicting. To derive a more precise estimation of these associations, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the three main polymorphisms (SstI, T-455C, C-482T) of APOC3 in all published studies. Databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Wanfang, SinoMed and CNKI were systematically searched. The association was assessed using odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3.3 and Stata 12.0. A total of 31 studies have been identified. The pooled odds ratio (OR) for the association between the APOC3 gene polymorphisms and CHD and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were evaluated by random or fixed effect models. A statistical association between APOC3 SstI polymorphism and CHD susceptibility was observed under an allelic contrast model (P= 0.003, OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.05-1.24), dominant genetic model (P= 0.01, OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.03-1.26), and recessive genetic model (P= 0.02, OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.06-1.71), respectively. A significant association between the APOC3 T-455C polymorphism and CHD was also detected under an allelic contrast (P < 0.0001, OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.10-1.29), dominant genetic model (P= 0.0003, OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.11-1.39) and recessive genetic model (P= 0.04, OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.01-1.67). No significant association between the APOC3 C-482T polymorphism and CHD was found under an allelic model (P= 0.94, OR = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.93-1.08), dominant genetic model (P= 0.20, OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.97-1.18) or recessive genetic model (P= 0.13, OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.79-1.03). This meta-analysis revealed that the APOC3 SstI and T-455C polymorphisms significantly increase CHD susceptibility. No significant association was observed between the APOC3 C-482T polymorphism and CHD susceptibility.

Examination of the Relationship between Oral Health and Arterial Sclerosis without Genetic Confounding through the Study of Older Japanese Twins. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0127642. [PMID: 26009883 PMCID: PMC4444248 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0127642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2014] [Accepted: 04/17/2015] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although researchers have recently demonstrated a relationship between oral health and arterial sclerosis, the genetic contribution to this relationship has been ignored even though genetic factors are expected to have some effect on various diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate oral health as a significant risk factor related to arterial sclerosis after eliminating genetic confounding through study of older Japanese twins. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Medical and dental surveys were conducted individually for 106 Japanese twin pairs over the age of 50 years. Maximal carotid intima-media thickness (IMT-Cmax) was measured as a surrogate marker of arterial sclerosis. IMT-Cmax > 1.0 mm was diagnosed as arterial sclerosis. All of the twins were examined for the number of remaining teeth, masticatory performance, and periodontal status. We evaluated each measurement related with IMT-Cmax and arterial sclerosis using generalized estimating equations analysis adjusted for potential risk factors. For non-smoking monozygotic twins, a regression analysis using a "between within" model was conducted to evaluate the relationship between IMT-Cmax and the number of teeth as the environmental factor controlling genetic and familial confounding. RESULTS We examined 91 monozygotic and 15 dizygotic twin pairs (males: 42, females: 64) with a mean (± standard deviation) age of 67.4 ± 10.0 years. Out of all of the oral health-related measurements collected, only the number of teeth was significantly related to arterial sclerosis (odds ratio: 0.72, 95% confidence interval: 0.52-0.99 per five teeth). Regression analysis showed a significant association between the IMT-Cmax and the number of teeth as an environmental factor (p = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS Analysis of monozygotic twins older than 50 years of age showed that having fewer teeth could be a significant environmental factor related to arterial sclerosis, even after controlling for genetic and familial confounding.
