Age and sex differences in the impact of common comorbidities on stroke and myocardial infarction: results from the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project. Public Health 2024; 235:119-127. [PMID: 39096776 DOI: 10.1016/j.puhe.2024.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate the age- and sex-specific associations of comorbidities with stroke and MI and further calculate the population-attributable fractions (PAFs) of five comorbid diseases for stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) by age and sex. STUDY DESIGN This is a prospective cohort study. METHODS This study leveraged data from a sub-cohort of the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events (PEACE) Million Persons Project. Participants aged 35-75 years without a prevalent stroke and MI were enrolled from January 2016 to December 2020, with follow-up through December 2021. Five common comorbidities were collected at baseline, and the study outcome was hospitalization for stroke and MI identified from the Inpatients Registry. RESULTS Of 100,873 participants, the mean age was 54.2 (±10.2) years, 34.2% were ≥60 years old, and 60.8% were women. After a median follow-up of 3.52 years, 4156 participants had stroke/MI. The strengths of the associations between hypertension, diabetes, and obesity with stroke/MI were higher in younger individuals than in seniors, and obesity had a more hazardous impact on stroke/MI in men than in women. The five comorbidities collectively explained a higher population attributable fraction (PAF) for stroke/MI in the young group (51.5[46.9, 55.7] %) than in the senior group (41.3[37.0, 45.4] %), in men (45.6[40.9, 49.9] %) than in women (41.1[36.1, 45.7] %). CONCLUSIONS Most of the common comorbidities were significantly associated with stroke and MI. Several age and sex differences in the impacts of comorbidities on stroke/MI were observed, highlighting the importance of age- and sex-specific preventive strategies to reduce premature stroke and MI.

Sun W, Han Y, Gu S. Effects of five types of exercise on vascular function in postmenopausal women: a network meta-analysis and systematic review of 32 randomized controlled trials. PeerJ 2024; 12:e17621. [PMID: 39026541 PMCID: PMC11257064 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.17621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background As women age, especially after menopause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence rises, posing a significant global health concern. Regular exercise can mitigate CVD risks by improving blood pressure and lipid levels in postmenopausal women. Yet, the optimal exercise modality for enhancing vascular structure and function in this demographic remains uncertain. This study aims to compare five exercise forms to discern the most effective interventions for reducing cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women. Methods The study searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, EBSCO, and Embase databases. It conducted a network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on five exercise interventions: continuous endurance training (CET), interval training (INT), resistance training (RT), aerobic combined with resistance training (CT), and hybrid-type training (HYB). Outcome measures included carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT), nitric oxide (NO), augmentation index (AIx), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery. Eligible studies were assessed for bias using the Cochrane tool. A frequentist random-effects NMA was employed to rank exercise effects, calculating standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results The analysis of 32 studies (n = 1,427) indicates significant increases in FMD with CET, INT, RT, and HYB in postmenopausal women. Reductions in PWV were significant with CET, INT, RT, CT, and HYB. AIx decreased significantly with INT and HYB. CET, INT, and CT significantly increased NO levels. However, no significant reduction in IMT was observed. SUCRA probabilities show INT as most effective for increasing FMD, CT for reducing PWV, INT for decreasing AIx, CT for lowering IMT, and INT for increasing NO in postmenopausal women. Conclusion The study demonstrates that CET, INT, RT, and HYB have a significant positive impact on FMD in postmenopausal women. Furthermore, all five forms of exercise significantly enhance PWV in this population. INT and HYB were found to have a significant positive effect on AIx in postmenopausal women, while CET, INT, and CT were found to significantly improve NO levels. For improving vascular function in postmenopausal women, it is recommended to prioritize INT and CT exercise modalities. On the other hand, as CET and RT were not ranked at the top of the Sucra value ranking in this study and were less effective than INT and CT as exercise interventions to improve vascular function in postmenopausal women, it is not recommended that CET and RT be considered the preferred exercise modality.

Lin WC, Peng PS, Lin SL. Feasibility of Short-Term Use of Ivabradine in Critical Ill Patients Who Have Atrial Fibrillation and Tachycardia. ACTA CARDIOLOGICA SINICA 2024; 40:373-382. [PMID: 39045379 PMCID: PMC11261355 DOI: 10.6515/acs.202407_40(4).20240411a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
Background Ivabradine is approved for heart rate reduction in patients with stable symptomatic heart failure (HF). The United States Food and Drug Administration and Taiwan Central Health Insurance Agency approved the use of ivabradine for patients with chronic stable HF with sinus rhythm, but it has not yet been approved for patients with acute decompensated HF or with atrial fibrillation (AF). Objectives To investigate whether short-term ivabradine use is feasible in critically ill patients with AF and rapid ventricular response (RVR). Methods This study retrospectively analyzed 23 patients admitted to an intensive care unit with acute HF and AF-RVR who received ivabradine. All patients initially received a slow IV of amiodarone. Other medications for HF were prescribed according to current HF guidelines. The time taken for ivabradine to reduce HR to 80 beats per minute, referred to as "Time to 80," was measured in each patient. Results Overall, 69.6 % (16/23) of the patients had New York Heart Association functional class IV HF. In addition, 60.9% (14/23) of the patients required endotracheal intubation and ventilatory support, with more than half receiving vasopressor treatment to manage hypotension. Five patients died during the study period. The surviving patients had a significantly shorter "Time to 80" compared to those who did not survive (p = 0.037). Conclusions Adding ivabradine to standard treatment might be feasible for critically ill patients with AF and tachycardia. The finding that surviving patients had a shorter "Time to 80" duration than those who did not survive may have clinical implications. However, further investigations are needed to assess its clinical utility.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We designed and implemented a patient-centered, data-driven, holistic care model with evaluation of its impacts on clinical outcomes in patients with young-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) for which there is a lack of evidence-based practice guidelines. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this 3-year Precision Medicine to Redefine Insulin Secretion and Monogenic Diabetes-Randomized Controlled Trial, we evaluate the effects of a multicomponent care model integrating use of information and communication technology (Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) platform), biogenetic markers and patient-reported outcome measures in patients with T2D diagnosed at ≤40 years of age and aged ≤50 years. The JADE-PRISM group received 1 year of specialist-led team-based management using treatment algorithms guided by biogenetic markers (genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays, exome-sequencing of 34 monogenic diabetes genes, C-peptide, autoantibodies) to achieve multiple treatment goals (glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <6.2%, blood pressure <120/75 mm Hg, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol <1.2 mmol/L, waist circumference <80 cm (women) or <85 cm (men)) in a diabetes center setting versus usual care (JADE-only). The primary outcome is incidence of all diabetes-related complications. RESULTS In 2020-2021, 884 patients (56.6% men, median (IQR) diabetes duration: 7 (3-12) years, current/ex-smokers: 32.5%, body mass index: 28.40±5.77 kg/m2, HbA1c: 7.52%±1.66%, insulin-treated: 27.7%) were assigned to JADE-only (n=443) or JADE-PRISM group (n=441). The profiles of the whole group included positive family history (74.7%), general obesity (51.4%), central obesity (79.2%), hypertension (66.7%), dyslipidemia (76.4%), albuminuria (35.4%), estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (4.0%), retinopathy (13.8%), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (5.2%), cancer (3.1%), emotional distress (26%-38%) and suboptimal adherence (54%) with 5-item EuroQol for Quality of Life index of 0.88 (0.87-0.96). Overall, 13.7% attained ≥3 metabolic targets defined in secondary outcomes. In the JADE-PRISM group, 4.5% had pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants of monogenic diabetes genes; 5% had autoantibodies and 8.4% had fasting C-peptide <0.2 nmol/L. Other significant events included low/large birth weight (33.4%), childhood obesity (50.7%), mental illness (10.3%) and previous suicide attempts (3.6%). Among the women, 17.3% had polycystic ovary syndrome, 44.8% required insulin treatment during pregnancy and 17.3% experienced adverse pregnancy outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Young-onset diabetes is characterized by complex etiologies with comorbidities including mental illness and lifecourse events. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04049149.

Income variability and incident cardiovascular disease in diabetes: a population-based cohort study. Eur Heart J 2024; 45:1920-1933. [PMID: 38666368 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehae132] [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: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Longitudinal change in income is crucial in explaining cardiovascular health inequalities. However, there is limited evidence for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk associated with income dynamics over time among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS Using a nationally representative sample from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, 1 528 108 adults aged 30-64 with T2D and no history of CVD were included from 2009 to 2012 (mean follow-up of 7.3 years). Using monthly health insurance premium information, income levels were assessed annually for the baseline year and the four preceding years. Income variability was defined as the intraindividual standard deviation of the percent change in income over 5 years. The primary outcome was a composite event of incident fatal and nonfatal CVD (myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke) using insurance claims. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated after adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS High-income variability was associated with increased CVD risk (HRhighest vs. lowest quartile 1.25, 95% CI 1.22-1.27; Ptrend < .001). Individuals who experienced an income decline (4 years ago vs. baseline) had increased CVD risk, which was particularly notable when the income decreased to the lowest level (i.e. Medical Aid beneficiaries), regardless of their initial income status. Sustained low income (i.e. lowest income quartile) over 5 years was associated with increased CVD risk (HRn = 5 years vs. n = 0 years 1.38, 95% CI 1.35-1.41; Ptrend < .0001), whereas sustained high income (i.e. highest income quartile) was associated with decreased CVD risk (HRn = 5 years vs. n = 0 years 0.71, 95% CI 0.70-0.72; Ptrend < .0001). Sensitivity analyses, exploring potential mediators, such as lifestyle-related factors and obesity, supported the main results. CONCLUSIONS Higher income variability, income declines, and sustained low income were associated with increased CVD risk. Our findings highlight the need to better understand the mechanisms by which income dynamics impact CVD risk among individuals with T2D.

Abstract
This study explored the association between diabetes, cognitive imFpairment (CI), and mortality in a cohort of 2931 individuals aged 60 and above from the 2011 to 2014 NHANES. Mortality data was gathered through 2019, and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the association between diabetes, CI, and mortality adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and comorbidity conditions. The study spanned up to 9.17 years, observing 579 deaths, with individuals having both diabetes and CI showing the highest all-cause mortality (23.6 events per 100 patient-years). Adjusted analysis revealed a 2.34-fold higher risk of all-cause mortality for this group, surpassing those with diabetes or CI alone. These results held after a series of stratified and sensitivity analyses. In conclusion, CI was linked to higher all-cause mortality in individuals with diabetes, emphasizing the need to address cognitive dysfunction in diabetic patients.

Trends in all-cause and cause-specific mortality in older adults with and without diabetes: A territory-wide analysis in one million older adults in Hong Kong. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2024; 210:111618.

Abstract
AIMS Direct comparisons of population-level trends in all-cause and cause-specific mortalities among older adults with and without diabetes are lacking. METHODS We performed a territory-wide analysis of 1,142,000 unique older adults aged ≥ 65 years (31.7 % with diabetes) with at least one attendance in the Hong Kong Hospital Authority in 2014-2018. We used Joinpoint regression to describe trends of age- and sex-standardised all-cause and cause-specific mortalities (cardiovascular disease [CVD], cancer, and non-CVD and non-cancer) in older adults with and without diabetes. RESULTS All-cause mortality decreased in older adults with (average annual percent change [AAPC] = -1.6, 95 % confidence interval [-2.7, -0.4]) and without (AAPC = -3.1 [-4.2, -2.1]) diabetes. Largest declines were seen for CVD-cause mortalities for people with and without diabetes (AAPC = -5.5 [-6.8, -4.1] vs AAPC = -5.8 [-8.6, -2.9], respectively). Cancer-cause mortalities were similar in both groups with no change. Men with diabetes showed less favourable improvements. An increasing mortality trend was seen only in the 65-69 age-group regardless of diabetes status. CONCLUSIONS Mortality continued to decline in older adults with and without diabetes, mainly driven by a decline in CVD deaths, with no narrowing of the mortality gap. Our findings call for continued actions to address excess mortalities especially in older men with diabetes and younger older adults.

Luk AOY. Changing landscape of diabetes in Asia - What are the unmet needs? J Diabetes Investig 2024; 15:402-409. [PMID: 38265148 PMCID: PMC10981145 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.14150] [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: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The incidence rates of type 2 diabetes among adults in Asia have been stable, but the rates in youth and young adults have increased. In territory-wide surveillance in Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region of People's Republic of China, all-cause mortality rates among people with diabetes have exhibited a declining trend in the past 15 years, with a narrowing in the mortality gap between people with and without diabetes. At the same time, the improvement in survival resulted in a changing age structure and disease profile of people with diabetes, towards an increasing proportion of older people with long diabetes duration and multi-morbidities. Reductions in event rates were not observed in the youngest age group who also had the least gains in risk factor control and uptake in organ protective drugs over time. A young age at diabetes diagnosis, associated with exposure to high glycemic burden from an early age, predicted higher risks of complications and premature mortality compared with later-onset of diabetes. People presenting with type 2 diabetes below 40 years of age were 5-fold more likely to die and their life expectancy was shortened by 8 years than age-matched counterparts without diabetes. Analysis of population-based data in Hong Kong Chinese identified hypertension followed by chronic kidney disease as the leading contributor to mortality in young people, indicating that efforts to optimize non-glycemic risk factors and organ protection are as important in young individuals as it is in the older population.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133151. [PMID: 38113736 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is an important environmental pollutant. Herein, we discovered a new way of lipid accumulation, where lipid droplets can be transferred across cells. In this study, mice and AML12 cells were used to establish models of Cd poisoning. After Cd treatment, the level of TFAM was reduced, thereby regulating the reconstitution of the cytosolic actin filament network. MYH9 is a myosin involved in cell polarization, migration, and movement of helper organelles. Rab18 is a member of the Rab GTPase family, which localizes to lipid droplets and regulates lipid drop dynamics. In this study, we found that Cd increases the interaction between MYH9 and Rab18. However, TFAM overexpression alleviated the increase in Cd-induced interaction between MYH9 and Rab18, thereby reducing the transfer of intercellular lipid droplets and the accumulation of intracellular lipids. Through a co-culture system, we found that the transferred lipid droplets can act as a signal to form an inflammatory storm-like effect, and ACSL4 can act as an effector to transfer lipid droplets and promote lipid accumulation in surrounding cells. These results suggest that TFAM can be used as a new therapeutic target for Cd-induced lipid accumulation in the liver.

PLoS Med 2024; 21:e1004327. [PMID: 38261560 PMCID: PMC10805283 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pmed.1004327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical trials have demonstrated that remission of type 2 diabetes can be achieved following sustained weight loss. However, the feasibility of achieving diabetes remission through weight management in real-world settings remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to examine the association of weight change at 1 year after diabetes diagnosis with long-term incidence and sustainability of type 2 diabetes remission in real-world settings in Hong Kong. METHODS AND FINDINGS This was a population-based observational cohort study. The territory-wide Risk Assessment and Management Programme for Diabetes Mellitus (RAMP-DM) provides regular comprehensive assessments of metabolic control and complication screening for people with diabetes in Hong Kong. We included 37,326 people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes who were enrolled in the RAMP-DM between 2000 and 2017, followed until 2019. Diabetes remission was defined as 2 consecutive HbA1c <6.5% measurements at least 6 months apart in the absence of glucose-lowering drugs (GLDs) and with no record of GLDs at least 3 months before these measurements. During a median follow-up of 7.9 years, 6.1% (2,279) of people achieved diabetes remission, with an incidence rate of 7.8 (95% CI: 7.5, 8.1) per 1,000 person-years. After adjusting for age at diabetes diagnosis, sex, assessment year, body mass index, other metabolic indices, smoking, alcohol drinking, and medication use, the hazard ratio (HR) for diabetes remission was 3.28 (95% CI: 2.75, 3.92; p < 0.001) for people with ≥10% weight loss within 1 year of diagnosis, 2.29 (95% CI: 2.03, 2.59; p < 0.001) for those with 5% to 9.9% weight loss, and 1.34 (95% CI: 1.22, 1.47; p < 0.001) for those with 0% to 4.9% weight loss compared to people with weight gain. During a median follow-up of 3.1 years, 67.2% (1,531) of people who had achieved diabetes remission returned to hyperglycaemia, with an incidence rate of 184.8 (95% CI: 175.5, 194.0) per 1,000 person-years. The adjusted HR for returning to hyperglycaemia was 0.52 (95% CI: 0.41, 0.65; p < 0.001) for people with ≥10% weight loss, 0.78 (95% CI: 0.68, 0.92; p = 0.002) for those with 5% to 9.9% weight loss, and 0.90 (95% CI: 0.80, 1.01; p = 0.073) for those with 0% to 4.9% weight loss compared to people with weight gain. Diabetes remission was associated with a 31% (HR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.52, 0.93; p = 0.014) decreased risk of all-cause mortality. The main limitation of the study is that the reliability of HbA1c used to define diabetes remission can be affected by other medical conditions. Furthermore, we did not have data on bariatric surgery. CONCLUSIONS In this study, greater weight loss within the first year of diabetes diagnosis was associated with an increased likelihood of achieving diabetes remission and a decreased risk of returning to hyperglycaemia among those who had achieved diabetes remission. However, both the incidence of diabetes remission and the probability of its long-term sustainability were low with conventional management in real-world settings, in an era when the importance of weight loss was not fully appreciated. Our study provides evidence for policymakers to design and implement early weight management interventions and diabetes remission initiatives.

Abstract
Little evidence exists regarding the sex-specific population attributable risk factors for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the Chinese general population. We used a sub-cohort of the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events million persons project to evaluate the overall and sex-specific associations and population attributable fractions (PAFs) of twelve risk factors for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. 95,469 participants were included between January 2016 and December 2020. The twelve risk factors (including four socioeconomic status and eight modifiable risk factors) were collected or measured at baseline. The outcomes of the study were all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. Overall, 60.7% (N = 57,971) were women, and the mean age was 54.3 ± 10.2 years. After a median of 3.52 years of follow-up, 1311 (1.4%) people died, and 362 (0.4%) people died of cardiovascular causes. Majorities of risk factors were significantly associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and suboptimal blood pressure and low educational attainment were the two leading attributable risk factors for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. The twelve risk factors collectively explained 72.4% (95% confidence interval (CI): 63.5, 79.2) and 84.0% (95% CI: 71.1, 91.1) of PAFs for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. When stratified by sex, men had more risk factors that were significantly attributable to mortality than women, whereas low educational attainment had a more pronounced impact on female cardiovascular health. This study found that the twelve risk factors collectively explained a significant proportion of PAFs for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Several sex-related disparities in the associations between risk factors and mortality were noted.

Molecular Mechanisms Responsible for Diabetogenic Effects of COVID-19 Infection-Induction of Autoimmune Dysregulation and Metabolic Disturbances. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11576.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a significant association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and diabetes, whereby individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to severe disease and higher mortality rates. Interestingly, recent findings suggest a reciprocal relationship between COVID-19 and diabetes, wherein COVID-19 may contribute to developing new-onset diabetes and worsen existing metabolic abnormalities. This narrative review aims to shed light on the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying the diabetogenic effects of COVID-19. Specifically, the review explores the potential role of various factors, including direct damage to β-cells, insulin resistance triggered by systemic inflammation, and disturbances in hormonal regulation, aiming to enhance our understanding of the COVID-19 impact on the development and progression of diabetes. By analysing these mechanisms, the aim is to enhance our understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on the development and progression of diabetes. The binding of SARS-CoV-2 to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, which are present in key metabolic organs and tissues, may interfere with glucometabolic pathways, leading to hyperglycaemia, and potentially contribute to the development of new disease mechanisms. The virus's impact on β-cells through direct invasion or systemic inflammation may induce insulin resistance and disrupt glucose homeostasis. Furthermore, glucocorticoids, commonly used to treat COVID-19, may exacerbate hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance, potentially contributing to new-onset diabetes. The long-term effects of COVID-19 on glucose metabolism are still unknown, necessitating further research into the possibility of developing a novel type of diabetes. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the interaction between COVID-19 and diabetes, highlighting potential areas for future research and therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported that high fasting plasma glucose (FPG), even that within the normal range, is associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Nevertheless, these findings are limited to specific populations. Thus, studies in the general population are imperative. METHODS This study included two cohorts comprising 204 640 individuals who underwent physical examinations at the Rich Healthcare Group present at 32 locations in 11 cities of China from 2010 to 2016 and 15 464 individuals who underwent physical tests at the Murakami Memorial Hospital in Japan. Cox regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS), Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves, and subgroup analysis were used to determine the relationship between FPG and T2D. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive power of FPG for T2D. RESULTS The mean age of the 220 104 participants (204 640 Chinese and 15 464 Japanese participants) was 41.8 years (41.7 years for the Chinese and 43.7 years for the Japanese participants). During follow-up, 2611 individuals developed T2D (2238 Chinese and 373 Japanese participants). The RCS demonstrated a J-shaped relationship between FPG and T2D risk, with inflexion points of 4.5 and 5.2 for the Chinese and Japanese populations, respectively. Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 7.75 for FPG and T2D risk after the inflexion point (7.3 for Chinese and 21.13 for Japanese participants). CONCLUSIONS In general Chinese and Japanese populations, the normal baseline FPG range showed a J-shaped relationship with the risk of T2D. Baseline FPG levels help identify individuals at high risk of T2D and may enable early primary prevention to improve their outcomes.

Abstract
Cardiovascular complications are a common death cause in type 2 diabetes patients, as they are often combined. Plasminogen-activator Inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) participates in the development and progression of cardiovascular complications in diabetes. Insulin resistance increases PAI-1 production, and high PAI-1 levels lead to an environment conducive to thrombosis and earlier and more severe vascular disease. Current evidence also suggests that PAI-1 has a rhythmic profile of circadian fluctuations and acrophase in the morning within a single day, which might explain the high morning incidence of cardiovascular events. Thus, PAI-1 is a possible drug target. Although several PAI-1 inhibitors have been developed, none have yet been allowed for clinical use. Research on rhythm has also led to the concept of "chronotherapy", a rhythm-based drug regimen expected to improve the treatment of cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients. Herein, we searched several databases and reviewed relevant articles to describe the circadian rhythm characteristics and endogenous molecular mechanisms of PAI-1, its relationship with insulin resistance, the causes of cardiovascular complications caused by PAI-1, and the current development of PAI-1 inhibitors. We also summarized the possibility of using the circadian rhythm of PAI-1 to treat cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients.
