Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids intake is negatively associated with hyperuricemia: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2015. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 34:2203-2216. [PMID: 39003131 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2024.05.026] [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: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The objective of this research was to explore the associations between dietary PUFAs intake and hyperuricemia risk. METHODS AND RESULTS Based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2015, all eligible individuals were divided into hyperuricemia and non-hyperuricemia groups based on diagnostic criteria for hyperuricemia (serum uric acid >420 μmol/L for men and >360 μmol/L for women). Multivariate-adjusted logistic regression was employed to explore the relationship between dietary PUFAs intake and hyperuricemia risk. Total PUFAs and their subtypes were modeled to isocalorically replace saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). Higher intake of n-3 PUFAs, n-6 PUFAs, linoleic acid (LA), alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), and non-marine PUFAs intake correlated with decreased hyperuricemia risk, with adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CIs) were 0.77 (0.63, 0.93), 0.75 (0.61, 0.92), 0.75 (0.61, 0.91), 0.69 (0.55, 0.87), and 0.73 (0.59, 0.91), respectively. Replacing 5% of total energy intake from SFAs with isocaloric PUFAs was associated with decreased odds of hyperuricemia in men (0.69 (0.57, 0.84)) and in individuals (0.81 (0.71, 0.92)). Similar trends were observed in the substitution of SFAs with non-marine PUFAs in men (0.87 (0.80, 0.94)) and in all individuals (0.92 (0.88, 0.98)). Sensitivity analyses exhibited consistent results with primary analyses. CONCLUSION Higher dietary intake of n-3 PUFAs, n-6 PUFAs, LA, ALA, and non-marine PUFAs was associated with decreased hyperuricemia risk. These results support the recommendation to substitute SFAs with PUFAs in diet.

Prev Med Rep 2024; 45:102826. [PMID: 39156725 PMCID: PMC11328027 DOI: 10.1016/j.pmedr.2024.102826] [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: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Osteoporosis is an inflammatory disease that causes a large disease burden worldwide. Dietary inflammation index (DII), a comprehensive assessment index that reflects the pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory level of diet was related to multiple inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to explore the association between DII and all-cause mortality in patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, data of patients aged ≥ 45 years diagnosed as osteopenia or osteoporosis and had complete dietary intake information were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2007-2010, 2013-2014, 2017-2018). Dietary intake information was obtained from 24-h dietary recall interviews and was used to calculate the DII score. Weighted univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were utilized to explore the association between DII and all-cause mortality in patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia, with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses based on different age, gender and complications were further assessed this association. Results A total of 5,381 patients were included. Until December 31, 2019, 1,286 all-cause deaths occurred. After adjusting all covariates, high DII was associated with the high odds of all-cause mortality among patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia (HR=1.28, 95 %CI: 1.10-1.48), especially in the male (HR=1.38, 95 %CI: 1.06-1.78), aged < 65 years (HR=1.49, 95 %CI: 1.09-2.02), and without the history the cardiovascular disease (HR=1.30, 95 %CI: 1.03-1.65), diabetes mellitus (HR=1.27, 95 %CI: 1.06-1.52) and chronic kidney disease (HR=1.28, 95 %CI: 1.03-1.58). Conclusion A pro-inflammatory diet may have an adverse effect on the prognosis of osteoporosis patients.

[PMID: 39103944 DOI: 10.1186/s41043-024-00597-1] [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: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease with all-cause mortality increasing globally. Dietary magnesium (Mg), an anti-inflammatory nutrient, has been proven to be associated with the all-cause mortality. The association of dietary Mg intake and all-cause mortality in RA patients remains unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the association between dietary Mg intake and all-cause mortality in RA patients. METHODS RA patients were extracted from the NHANES 1999-2018, and followed for survival through December 31, 2019. Dietary Mg intake data were obtained from 24-h dietary recall interview. The association between dietary Mg intake and RA patients' all-cause mortality was explored based on weighted univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models and described as absolute risk difference (ARD), hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). This association was further explored in subgroup analyses based on different age, gender and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS Totally 2,952 patients were included. Until 31 December 2019, a total of 825 deaths were documented. RA patients with higher dietary Mg intake had a 11.12% reduction of all-cause mortality (ARD=-11.12%; HR = 0.74, 95%CI: 0.56-0.99) in the fully adjusted model, especially in female (HR = 0.68, 95%CI: 0.47-0.98), aged < 65 years (HR = 0.59, 95%CI: 0.37-0.94) and BMI ≤ 30 kg/m2 (HR = 0.62, 95%CI: 0.42-0.91). CONCLUSION RA patients who consumed adequate dietary Mg from diet as well as supplements may had a lower risk of all-cause mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is a quantitative anthropometric index that can be applied to evaluate obesity. This study examined the relationship between adult United States (US) residents' risk of diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and WWI. METHODS The NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) 2001-2018 provided the data for this investigation. This study used multifactorial logistic regression analysis, smoothed curve fitting, subgroup analysis, and interaction tests to assess the association between WWI and T2DM. Additionally, threshold effects were calculated using a two-stage linear regression model. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves evaluated the diagnostic ability of the WWI and commonly used obesity indicators. RESULTS 20,477 participants were enrolled in the analysis, and patients with greater levels of WWI had a higher prevalence of T2DM. WWI and T2DM have a non-linear relationship, with a positive association found on the left side of the breakpoint (WWI = 12.35) (OR = 1.82, 95%CI:1.64-2.02), whereas, on the right side, no such relationship was found (OR = 0.9, 95%CI:0.61-1.34). For every unit rise in WWI, the probability of having T2DM increased by 67% after controlling for all other variables (OR:1.67,95%CI:1.53-1.83). Based on subgroup analyses, individuals under 40 had a higher correlation between WWI and T2DM (P < 0.001).ROC analyses showed that WWI had the best discrimination and accuracy in predicting T2DM compared to other obesity indicators (WC, BMI, and Weight). CONCLUSION Higher WWI values had a higher prevalence of T2DM in US individuals, especially in adults under 40. WWI has the strongest ability to predict T2DM. Therefore, the importance of WWI in the early identification of T2DM in US adults should be emphasized.

Abstract
As a pivotal enzyme that regulates dephosphorylation in cell activities and participates in the insulin signaling pathway, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is considered to be an important target for the therapy of diabetes. In this work, a rapid and efficient inhibitor screening method of PTP1B was established based on capillary electrophoresis (CE), and used for screening and evaluating the inhibition effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine on PTP1B. Response Surface Methodology was used for optimizing the conditions of analysis. After method validation, the enzyme kinetic study and inhibition test were performed. As a result, the IC50 of PTP1B inhibitors Ⅳ and ⅩⅧ were consistent with reported values measured by a conventional method. It was found that the extracts of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch) Bunge and Morus alba L. showed prominent inhibition on the activity of PTP1B, which were stronger than the positive controls. Meanwhile, on top of the excellent advantages of CE, the whole analysis time is less than 2 min. Thus, the results demonstrated that a fast and efficient screening method was successfully developed. This method could be a powerful tool for screening inhibitors from complex systems. It can also provide an effective basis for lead compound development in drug discovery.

Clin Nutr ESPEN 2024; 63:346-353. [PMID: 38985666 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2024.06.054] [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: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The imbalance of nutrition-immunity-inflammation status might be associated with the mortality risk in the elderly. This study aimed to assess the relationship between the C-reactive protein (CRP)-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in the elderly. METHODS The data from records of older adults (≥ 60 years) were derived from 1999 to 2010 and 2015-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Weighted Cox proportional hazard regression was used to analyze the relationship between CALLY and all-cause mortality and CVD mortality in three different models, and the linear trend was analyzed. A restricted cubic spline model was used to evaluate the nonlinear dose-response relationship and determine the critical threshold of CALLY to divide the population into two groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were used to evaluate the cumulative survival rates of different groups. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were performed to ensure robustness. RESULTS Compared to the first quartile of natural log-transformation (ln) CALLY, the highest quartile of ln CALLY was negatively correlated with the risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.56-0.79. P < 0.05) and CVD mortality (HR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.47-0.89. P < 0.05) in model 3. Ln CALLY was linear dose-response correlated with mortality. We determined that the critical threshold for ln CALLY in elderly was 1.00. Elderly with higher ln CALLY (≥ 1.00) had significantly increased survival rates (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION CALLY showed a significant negative linear association with the risk of all-cause mortality and CVD mortality, and higher CALLY was beneficial to the survival outcomes of the elderly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uric acid (UA), a liver-derived metabolite, is intimately tied to metabolic disorders. Although ample research underscores its connection with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), studies focusing on adolescents remain limited. To fill the gaps in epidemiology,this study focused on analyzing the relationship between the levels of uric acid and HTG in a demographic sample comprising adolescents from the United States. METHODS In this study, a total of 4,435 participants through the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2020. The exposure variable was serum uric acid (SUA), the effect variable was HTG, and the covariates included demographic, questionnaire, physical examination and laboratory indicators. We utilized weighted logistic regression and meticulous subgroup evaluations to discern the intrinsic link between SUA and HTG. Stratified analyses augmented the validation of this association, while smooth curve fitting probed for potential nonlinear correlations. RESULTS The study included 4,435 participants. Male adolescents exhibit elevated SUA levels. After adjusting for all variables, the weighted multiple logistic regression model revealed that SUA was positively correlated with HTG risk (OR = 1.006, 95% CI: 1.005-1.007). This relationship was consistent across the three tertiles group of SUA (T1: OR = 1.006 [95% CI: 1.005-1.007]; T2: OR = 1.006 [95% CI: 1.005-1.007]; T3: OR = 1.004 [95% CI: 1.003-1.006]; P for trend < 0.001). Stratified analyses confirmed that the positive correlation between SUA and HTG risk was significant, irrespective of sex, age or race. CONCLUSIONS In American children and adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, there was a pronounced association between SUA and HTG. SUA could serve as a risk indicator for HTG. It is recommended that children diagnosed with HTG should be regularly tested for SUA levels. In addition, it is recommended that SUA be included in the comprehensive care of children diagnosed with HTG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore the association of female reproductive factors (age at first birth (AFB), age at last birth (ALB), number of pregnancies, and live births) with history of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS A total of 15,715 women aged 20 years or over from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 1999 to 2018 were included in our analysis. Weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic spline (RCS) model were used to evaluate the association of AFB and ALB with history of CVD in women. Additionally, the relationship between the number of pregnancies, and live births and history of CVD was also explored. RESULTS After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the RCS plot showed a U-curve relationship between AFB, ALB and history of CVD. Among them, AFB was associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), heart attack, and stroke in a U-shaped curve. Additionally, this U-shaped correlation also exists between ALB and CHF and stroke. However, the number of pregnancies and live births was liner positive associated with history of CVD, including coronary heart disease, CHF, angina pectoris, heart attack, and stroke. CONCLUSIONS Women with younger or later AFB and ALB have higher odds of CVD in later life. Further study is warranted to verify the underlying mechanisms of this association.

Abstract
High levels of serum uric acid (SUA) and triglycerides (TG) might promote high-cardiovascular-risk phenotypes, including subclinical atherosclerosis. An interaction between plaques xanthine oxidase (XO) expression, SUA, and HDL-C has been recently postulated. Subjects from the URic acid Right for heArt Health (URRAH) study with carotid ultrasound and without previous cardiovascular diseases (CVD) (n = 6209), followed over 20 years, were included in the analysis. Hypertriglyceridemia (hTG) was defined as TG ≥ 150 mg/dL. Higher levels of SUA (hSUA) were defined as ≥5.6 mg/dL in men and 5.1 mg/dL in women. A carotid plaque was identified in 1742 subjects (28%). SUA and TG predicted carotid plaque (HR 1.09 [1.04-1.27], p < 0.001 and HR 1.25 [1.09-1.45], p < 0.001) in the whole population, independently of age, sex, diabetes, systolic blood pressure, HDL and LDL cholesterol and treatment. Four different groups were identified (normal SUA and TG, hSUA and normal TG, normal SUA and hTG, hSUA and hTG). The prevalence of plaque was progressively greater in subjects with normal SUA and TG (23%), hSUA and normal TG (31%), normal SUA and hTG (34%), and hSUA and hTG (38%) (Chi-square, 0.0001). Logistic regression analysis showed that hSUA and normal TG [HR 1.159 (1.002 to 1.341); p = 0.001], normal SUA and hTG [HR 1.305 (1.057 to 1.611); p = 0.001], and the combination of hUA and hTG [HR 1.539 (1.274 to 1.859); p = 0.001] were associated with a higher risk of plaque. Our findings demonstrate that SUA is independently associated with the presence of carotid plaque and suggest that the combination of hyperuricemia and hypertriglyceridemia is a stronger determinant of carotid plaque than hSUA or hTG taken as single risk factors. The association between SUA and CVD events may be explained in part by a direct association of UA with carotid plaques.

Abstract
Background Aging is one of the most important public health issues. Previous studies on the factors affecting aging focused on genetics and lifestyle, but the association between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and aging is still unclear. Methods This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2010. A total of 8,100 participants was used to construct the biological age predictors by using recent advanced algorithms Klemera-Doubal method (KDM) and Mahalanobis distance. Two biological aging indexes, recorded as KDM-BA acceleration and PhenoAge acceleration, were used to investigate the relationship between single PAHs and biological age using a multiple linear regression analysis, and a weighted quantile sum (WQS) model was constructed to explore the mixed effects of PAHs on biological age. Finally, we constructed the restricted cubic spline (RCS) model to assess the non-linear relationship between PAHs and biological age. Results Exposure to PAHs was associated with PhenoAge acceleration. Each unit increase in the log10-transformed level of 1-naphthol, 2-naphthol, and 2-fluorene was associated with a 0.173 (95% CI: 0.085, 0.261), 0.310 (95% CI: 0.182, 0.438), and 0.454 (95% CI: 0.309, 0.598) -year increase in PhenoAge acceleration, respectively (all corrected P < 0.05). The urinary PAH mixture was relevant to KDM-BA acceleration (β = 0.13, 95% CI: 0, 0.26, P = 0.048) and PhenoAge acceleration (β = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.47, 0.70, P < 0.001), and 2-naphthol had the highest weight in the weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression. The RCS analyses showed a non-linear association between 2-naphthol and 2-fluorene with KDM-BA acceleration (all P < 0.05) in addition to a non-linear association between 1-naphthol, 2-naphthol, 3-fluorene, 2-fluorene, and 1-pyrene with PhenoAge acceleration (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Exposure to mixed PAHs is associated with increased aging, with 2-naphthol being a key component of PAHs associated with aging. This study has identified risk factors in terms of PAH components for aging.

Lipids Health Dis 2024; 23:164. [PMID: 38831466 PMCID: PMC11145831 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-024-02158-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although blood urea nitrogen (BUN) has a crucial impact on many diseases, its effect on outcomes in patients with hyperlipidemia remains unknown. The study aimed to investigate the relationships between BUN levels and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in individuals with hyperlipidemia. METHODS This analysis comprised 28,122 subjects with hyperlipidemia from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 1999 to 2018. The risk of BUN on mortality was evaluated using weighted Cox regression models. Additionally, to illustrate the dose-response association, the restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used. RESULTS During the observation period, 4276 participant deaths were recorded, of which 1206 were due to CVD. Compared to patients with hyperlipidemia in the third BUN quintile, the hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality were 1.26 (95% CIs: 1.09, 1.45) and 1.22 (95% CIs: 1.09, 1.37) for patients in the first and fifth quintiles of BUN, respectively. The HRs for CVD mortality among patients in the fifth quintile of BUN were 1.48 (95% CIs: 1.14, 1.93). BUN levels were found to have a U-shaped association with all-cause mortality and a linear association with CVD mortality using restricted triple spline analysis. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that both low and high BUN levels in patients with hyperlipidemia are associated with heightened all-cause mortality. Furthermore, elevated BUN levels are also associated with increased CVD mortality. The findings indicate that patients with hyperlipidemia may face an elevated risk of death if they have abnormal BUN levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The role of serum uric acid (SUA) in the prognosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is inconclusive. To explore the association of SUA level with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in patients with CKD. METHODS AND RESULTS Leveraging data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) and linked national death records up to December 31 2019, we explored the association of SUA with all-cause and CVD mortality using weighted cox proportional hazards regression models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models in patients with CKD stages 3-5. The study finally included 2644 patients with CKD stages 3-5, with a median SUA level of 6.5 mg/dL. After a median follow-up of 55 months, a total of 763 deaths were recorded, with 279 of them attributed to CVD. In the fully adjusted model, per 1 mg/dL increment in SUA concentration was found to be associated with increased HRs (95% CIs) of 1.07 (1.00, 1.14) for all-cause mortality and 1.11 (1.00, 1.24) for CVD mortality. Compared to Q2 (reference), those in Q4 had adjusted HRs of 1.72 (1.36, 2.17) for all-cause mortality and 2.17 (1.38, 3.41) for CVD mortality, while those in Q1 had adjusted HRs of 1.49 (1.19, 1.85) for all-cause mortality and 1.93 (1.26, 2.98) for CVD mortality. CONCLUSIONS Both higher and lower SUA levels were associated with increased risks of all-cause and CVD mortality in patients with CKD stages 3-5.

J-shaped association of serum uric acid concentrations with all-cause mortality in individuals with osteoarthritis: A prospective cohort study. Joint Bone Spine 2024; 91:105679. [PMID: 38143017 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbspin.2023.105679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) concentrations and all-cause mortality in individuals with osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS All participant data were retrieved from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database. A total of 4671 participants (age range: 20 to 85 years old), including 2988 females and 1683 males, were included in this study. The determination of death outcome was based on the National Death Index (up to December 31, 2019). We explored the nonlinear relationship between SUA concentrations and all-cause mortality in OA patients by establishing a Cox proportional risk model and a two-segment Cox proportional risk model and ran an interaction test to identify the high-risk population for all-cause mortality. RESULTS During 30,645 person-years of follow-up, the number of all-cause deaths for females and males was 736 and 516, respectively. After multivariate adjustment, we found a nonlinear relationship between SUA concentrations and all-cause mortality in both females and males with OA. In addition, we found a J-shaped relationship between SUA concentrations and all-cause mortality. The SUA concentration thresholds for all-cause mortality of females and males were stable at 5.6mg/dl and 6.2mg/dl, respectively. Compared with SUA concentrations below the inflection point, the all-cause mortality risk at higher SUA concentrations in females and males with OA increased by 20% (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.2, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1 to 1.2) and 25% (HR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.39), respectively. CONCLUSIONS There is a nonlinear relationship between SUA concentrations and all-cause mortality in the American OA population (J-shaped association). The all-cause mortality thresholds for SUA concentrations in females and males are 5.6mg/dl and 6.2mg/dl, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between osteoarthritis (OA) and hypertension is a subject of ongoing debate in observational research, and the underlying causal relationship between them remains elusive. METHODS This study retrospectively included 24,871 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2013 to 2020. Weighted logistic regression was performed to investigate the connection between OA and hypertension. Additionally, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to explore the potential causal relationship between OA and hypertension. RESULTS In the NHANES data, after adjusting for multiple confounding factors, there was no significant relationship between OA and hypertension (OR 1.30, 95% CI, 0.97-1.73, P = 0.089). However, among males, OA appeared to be associated with a higher risk of hypertension (OR 2.25, 95% CI, 1.17-4.32, P = 0.019). Furthermore, MR results indicate no relationship between multiple OA phenotypes and hypertension: knee OA (IVW, OR 1.024, 95% CI: 0.931-1.126, P = 0.626), hip OA (IVW, OR 0.990, 95% CI: 0.941-1.042, P = 0.704), knee or hip OA (IVW, OR 1.005, 95% CI: 0.915-1.105, P = 0.911), and OA from UK Biobank (IVW, OR 0.796, 95% CI: 0.233-2.714, P = 0.715). Importantly, these findings remained consistent across different genders and in reverse MR. CONCLUSIONS Our study found that OA patients had a higher risk of hypertension only among males in the observational study. However, MR analysis did not uncover any causal relationship between OA and hypertension.

Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:117. [PMID: 38566082 PMCID: PMC10985955 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02191-5] [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: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying reliable prognostic markers is crucial for the effective management of hypertension. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has emerged as a potential inflammatory marker linked to cardiovascular outcomes. This study aims to investigate the association of NLR with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among patients with hypertension. METHODS This study analyzed data from 3067 hypertensive adults in the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) from 2009 to 2014. Mortality details were obtained from the National Death Index (NDI). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was deployed to visualize the association of the NLR with mortality risk. Weighted Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the independent association of NLR with mortality risk. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was conducted to access the predictive ability of NLR for survival. Mediation analysis was used to explore the indirect impact of NLR on mortality mediated through eGFR. RESULTS Over a median 92.0-months follow-up, 538 deaths occurred, including 114 cardiovascular deaths. RCS analysis revealed a positive association between NLR and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Participants were stratified into higher (> 3.5) and lower (≤ 3.5) NLR groups. Weighted Cox proportional hazards models demonstrated that individuals with higher NLR had a significantly increased risk of all-cause (HR 1.96, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.52-2.52, p < 0.0001) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 2.33, 95% CI 1.54-3.51, p < 0.0001). Stratified and interaction analysis confirmed the stability of the core results. Notably, eGFR partially mediated the association between NLR and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality by a 5.4% and 4.7% proportion, respectively. Additionally, the areas under the curve (AUC) of the 3-, 5- and 10- year survival was 0.68, 0.65 and 0.64 for all-cause mortality and 0.68, 0.70 and 0.69 for cardiovascular mortality, respectively. CONCLUSION Elevated NLR independently confers an increased risk for both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with hypertension.

Association of obstructive sleep apnea symptoms with all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality in adults with or without diabetes: A cohort study based on the NHANES. J Diabetes 2024; 16:e13538. [PMID: 38599827 PMCID: PMC11006614 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13538] [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: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and mortality has not been extensively researched among individuals with varying diabetic status. This study aimed to compare the relationship of OSAS with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in US individuals with or without diabetes based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). METHODS The study included participants from the NHANES 2005-2008 and 2015-2018 cycles with follow-up information. OSAS data (OSAS.MAP10) was estimated from the questionnaire. Hazard ratios (HRs) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) of OSAS for mortality were calculated by Cox regression analysis in populations with different diabetes status. The relationships between OSAS and mortality risk were examined using survival curves and restricted cubic spline curves. RESULTS A total of 13 761 participants with 7.68 ± 0.042 follow-up years were included. In the nondiabetic group, OSAS.MAP10 was positively associated with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. In individuals with prediabetes, OSAS.MAP10 was positively related to all-cause mortality (HR 1.11 [95% CI: 1.03-1.20]) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.17 [95% CI: 1.03-1.33]). The relationship between OSAS.MAP10 and the risk of all-cause mortality and cancer mortality exhibited L-shaped curves in diabetes patients (both with nonlinear p values <.01). Further threshold effect analysis revealed that OSAS was positively related to death risk when OSAS.MAP10 exceeded the threshold scores. CONCLUSION The relationship between OSAS and mortality differed among participants with or without diabetes. Individualized clinical treatment plans should be developed in clinical practice to reduce the risk of death for patients with different metabolic conditions.

BMC Nephrol 2024; 25:108. [PMID: 38504168 PMCID: PMC10953214 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-024-03546-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In older individuals, the role of low serum uric acid (SUA) as risk factor for mortality is debated. We therefore studied whether SUA levels, particularly low SUA concentrations, are associated with all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in older population, and to clarify potential effect modification of kidney function. METHODS We identified 14,005 older people in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 1999 to 2018. SUA was measured only at baseline. The relationship between SUA and mortality was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline Cox regression stratified by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). RESULTS During mean 8.3 years of follow-up, 4852 all-cause death and 1602 CV death were recorded. A significant U-shaped association was observed between SUA with all-cause mortality, with the lowest risk concentration of 5.5 mg/dL. Comparing to the reference group (5 to 7 mg/dL), the HR of 2 to < 5 mg/dL group was 1.11 (1.03-1.21) and 1.14 (1.00-1.30). This relationship was more pronounced in participants with an eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73m2 (HR, 1.16; 95%CI, 1.06-1.28). This situation similarly occurred in Urine protein negative group (HR, 1.14; 95%CI, 1.04-1.25). CONCLUSIONS Low SUA concentrations are associated with an increased risk in all-cause and CV mortality among older participants. Extremely low SUA concentrations are especially undesirable, especially in the older adults with normal kidney function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The relationship between hyperuricemia and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is considerably controversial. Additionally, the strategy of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has not been evaluated in patients with ACS with hyperuricemia. This study aims to evaluate the impact of hyperuricemia on the prognosis of ACS and explore the efficacy of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel in patients with hyperuricemia. METHODS The study enrolled 4319 patients divided into hyperuricemia (HUA, n = 1060) and normouricemia (NUA, n = 3259) groups. The inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW)-adjusted Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the impact of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS Hyperuricemia significantly increased the risk of all-cause death compared with patients with NUA at 7 days [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 4.292, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.727-10.67]; P = 0.002), 14 days (adjusted HR: 2.871, 95% CI 1.326-6.219; P = 0.0074), 30 days (adjusted HR: 2.168, 95% CI 1.056-4.453; P = 0.035), 3 months (adjusted HR: 2.018, 95% CI 1.152-3.533; P = 0.0144) and 1 year (adjusted HR: 1.702, 95% CI 1.137-2.548; P = 0.009). No significant difference was found between ticagrelor and clopidogrel in 1-year all-cause mortality [7.0% versus 5.5%, adjusted HR: 1.114 (95% CI 0.609-2.037), P = 0.725] among patients with concomitant hyperuricemia. CONCLUSION Hyperuricemia was independently related to an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death in patients with ACS undergoing PCI. At 1-year follow-up, there were no significant differences between ticagrelor and clopidogrel concerning all-cause and cardiovascular death in patients with hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia is prevalent in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) concentrations have been considered an independent risk factor for the onset of CKD. However, the relationship between SUA concentrations and long-term health outcomes among patients with CKD remains unclear. METHODS We performed a prospective cohort study with nationally representative sample to investigate the relationship between SUA concentrations and mortality risk including all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer mortality, among patients with CKD. The weighted restricted cubic spline analyses combined with the multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were used to test the nonlinearity of relationship. RESULTS The 6642 patients participating in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2018 were enrolled. During 656 885 person-months of follow-up time, 2619 all-cause deaths were recorded, including 1030 CVD deaths and 458 cancer deaths. Our study presented J-shaped non-linear relationships between SUA concentrations and all-cause and CVD mortality with inflection points at 311.65 μmol/L and 392.34 μmol/L, respectively. When SUA concentration was higher than those inflection points, every increase of 50 μmol/L SUA was associated with 11.7% and 17.0% greater multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio of all-cause and CVD mortality, respectively. In addition, a negative linear correlation with cancer mortality was detected. CONCLUSION These findings suggested that maintaining appropriate SUA concentrations may improve long-term health outcomes among CKD patients. The corresponding inflection points of J-shaped non-linear relationships were 311.65 and 392.34 μmol/L for all-cause and CVD mortality. Further clinical trials are required to investigate uric acid-lowering targets.

Abstract
Although uric acid-lowering agents such as xanthine oxidase inhibitors have potential cardioprotective effects, studies on their use in preventing cardiovascular diseases are lacking. We investigated the genetically proxied effects of reducing uric acid on ischemic cardiovascular diseases in a lipid-level-stratified population. We performed drug-target Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses using UK Biobank data to select genetic instruments within a uric acid-lowering gene, xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH), and construct genetic scores. For nonlinear MR analyses, individuals were stratified by lipid level. Outcomes included acute myocardial infarction (AMI), ischemic heart disease, cerebral infarction, transient cerebral ischemic attack, overall ischemic disease, and gout. We included 474,983 non-gout individuals with XDH-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms. The XDH-variant-induced uric acid reduction was associated with reduced risk of gout (odds ratio [OR], 0.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.78-0.93; P < 0.001), cerebral infarction (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.75-0.98; P = 0.023), AMI (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.66-0.94; P = 0.010) in individuals with triglycerides ≥ 188.00 mg/dL, and cerebral infarction in individuals with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≤ 112.30 mg/dL (OR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.61-0.96; P = 0.020) or LDL-C of 136.90-157.40 mg/dL (OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.49-0.92; P = 0.012). XDH-variant-induced uric acid reduction lowers the risk of gout, AMI for individuals with high triglycerides, and cerebral infarction except for individuals with high LDL-C, highlighting the potential heterogeneity in the protective effects of xanthine oxidase inhibitors for treating AMI and cerebral infarction depending on the lipid profiles.

Abstract
Objective To innovatively evaluate the impact of renal impairment in young work age patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) on their visuality after vitrectomy. Methods To find out whether it is possible to better predict the improvement of visual acuity after vitrectomy in working-age people without adding additional preoperative testing. In view of the fact that diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy are common diabetic complications of microvascular damage, it is considered whether preoperative renal function can be used as this evaluation index. This paper studies the design under this theme. This retrospective study included 306 patients (306 eyes) diagnosed with PDR and undergoing vitrectomy in our hospital from January 2016 to June 2023. Relevant baseline data were collected, including age, history of kidney disease and clinical laboratory test results. According to the International Standard Logarithmic Visual Acuity Checklist, the best corrected visual acuity was tested on the first day of admission and one month after surgery, and the difference between the two was subtracted. A difference >0 was defined as "vision improved". Patients were classified as vision-improved group (n=245) and non-improved group (n=61). The differences in baseline serum urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, Cystatin C, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine protein distribution between the two groups were statistically analyzed, binary regression analysis was performed for meaningful parameters, and random forest model ranked the characteristics in importance. Results 1.A higher level of serum cystatin C [1.02(0.80,1.48) mg/L vs 0.86(0.67,1.12) mg/L, P<0.001] and a lower eGFR [82.3(50.33, 115.11) ml/(min/1.73m²) vs 107.69(73.9, 126.01) ml/(min/1.73m²), P=0.002] appeared in the non-(vision-)improved group compared with the vision-improved group. 2. The occurrence of preoperation proteinuria history of nephropathy take a larger proportion in non-improved group. 3. Univariate regression analysis showed history of nephrology (OR=1.887, P=0.028), preoperative serum urea nitrogen (OR=0.939, P=0.043), cystatin C (Cys-C) concentration (OR=0.75, P=0.024), eGFR (OR=1.011, P=0.003) and proteinuria (OR=3.128, P<0.001) were influencing factors to postoperative visual acuity loss in young working age PDR patients. Excluding other confounding factors, preoperative proteinuria is an independent risk factor for postoperative vision improvement in working-age PDR populations (OR=2.722, P=0.009). 4. The accuracy of the prediction random forst model is 0.81. The model appears to be superior in terms of positive prediction. Conclusion In young work aged PDR patients undergoing vitrectomy, preoperative urine protein can be an independent indicator of postoperative visual loss. Aggressive correction of kidney injury before surgery may help improve postoperative vision in patients with PDR.

The effect of metformin on urate metabolism: Findings from observational and Mendelian randomization analyses. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:242-250. [PMID: 37807832 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15310] [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: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of metformin on urate metabolism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the UK Biobank, we first performed association analyses of metformin use with urate levels, risk of hyperuricaemia and incident gout in patients with diabetes. To explore the causal effect of metformin on urate and gout, we identified genetic variants proxying the glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)-lowering effect of metformin targets and conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) utilizing the urate and gout genetic summary-level data from the CKDGen (n = 288 649) and the FinnGen cohort. We conducted two-step MR to explore the mediation effect of body mass index and systolic blood pressure. We also performed non-linear MR in the UK Biobank (n = 414 055) to show the results across HbA1c levels. RESULTS In 18 776 patients with type 2 diabetes in UK Biobank, metformin use was associated with decreased urate [β = -4.3 μmol/L, 95% confidence interval (CI) -7.0, -1.7, p = .001] and reduced hyperuricaemia risk (odds ratio = 0.87, 95% CI 0.79, 0.96, p = .004), but not gout. Genetically proxied averaged HbA1c-lowering effects of metformin targets, equivalent to a 0.62% reduction in HbA1c, was associated with reduced urate (β = -12.5 μmol/L, 95% CI -21.4, -4.2, p = .004). Body mass index significantly mediated this association (proportion mediated = 33.0%, p = .002). Non-linear MR results suggest a linear trend of the effect of metformin on urate reduction across various HbA1c levels. CONCLUSIONS The effect of metformin may reduce urate levels but not incident gout in the general population.

[PMID: 37996371 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2023.10.008] [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: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Serum uric acid (SUA) has been reported to be associated with inflammation, and elevated SUA is increasingly prevalent in adolescents. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is an innovative and integrated inflammatory indicator that has not yet been studied with SUA in adolescents. We therefore aimed to investigate the potential relationship between SII and SUA in U.S. adolescents. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 5,568 adolescents aged 12-19 years from NHANES 2009-2018 were analyzed. SII was calculated as platelet count × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count. Elevated SUA was defined as ≥ 5.5 mg/dL. SII was Ln-transformed for analysis for the skewed distribution. Multivariate linear and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the association of SII with SUA and elevated SUA. A generalized additive model and a fitted smoothing curve were also performed. The prevalence of elevated SUA was 35.4 %. Multivariate linear regression analyses indicated that LnSII was positively associated with SUA level (β = 0.15, 95 % CI: 0.09-0.20). Multiple logistic analyses indicated that LnSII was associated with a 38 % increased risk of elevated SUA (OR = 1.38, 95 % CI: 1.11-1.70). The smooth curve fitting showed that the associations of LnSII with SUA and elevated SUA were linear. Besides, subgroup analyses showed a stronger association between LnSII and SUA in adolescents aged ≥17 years (P for interaction <0.05). CONCLUSIONS SII was positively associated with SUA level and elevated SUA in U.S. adolescents, particularly in populations aged ≥17 years.

Association of dietary inflammatory index with all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in hyperuricemia population: A cohort study from NHANES 2001 to 2010. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e36300. [PMID: 38134106 PMCID: PMC10735113 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000036300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Dietary management is a crucial component of non-pharmacological treatment for hyperuricemia, yet there is a paucity of research on the impact of dietary habits on the survival outcomes of individuals with hyperuricemia. The objective of this study is to examine the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and the all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in individuals with hyperuricemia. This study included 3093 adult participants from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001 to 2010. Participants were categorized into 4 groups based on quartiles of DII to demonstrate data characteristics, with sample weights considered. The relationship between DII and the risk of hyperuricemia was examined using multivariable logistic regression models. Kaplan-Meier models and Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the relationship between DII levels and the all-cause mortality in individuals with hyperuricemia, with the non-linear relationship tested using restricted cubic splines (RCS). Competing risk models were employed to investigate the association between DII levels and the CVD mortality in individuals diagnosed with hyperuricemia. Subgroup and sensitivity analysis were performed to confirm the robustness and reliability of the findings. Among the participants, 47.95% were aged over 60 years. A positive association observed between the highest quartile of DII level and the incidence of hyperuricemia (OR: 1.34, CI [1.13, 1.57]). Elevated DII levels were correlated with increased all-cause mortality (P value < .001) and CVD mortality (P value < .001) in participants. In comparison to the lowest quartile, the highest quartile of DII exhibited a 31% rise in all-cause mortality (HR: 1.31, CI [1.01, 1.68]) and a 50% increase in CVD mortality (HR: 1.50, CI [1.00, 2.26]). No indication of a nonlinear association between DII levels and all-cause mortality (p-non-linear = .43). These findings indicate a positive correlation between the pro-inflammatory diet and the incidence of hyperuricemia. Additionally, a pro-inflammatory diet may elevate the all-cause and CVD mortality in individuals with hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. However, current evidence on the association between muscle quality and CVD is limited. This study investigates the potential association between the muscle quality index (MQI) and the prevalence of CVD and CVD-related mortality. METHODS Participants were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014. Data on mortality and causes of death were obtained from the National Death Index (NDI) records through December 31, 2019. Statistical analysis used in this study, including weighted multivariable linear and logistic regression, cox regression and Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis, to estimate the association between MQI and all-cause mortality as well as CVD mortality. In addition, subgroup analysis was used to estimate the association between MQI and CVD subtypes, such as heart attack, coronary heart disease, angina, congestive heart failure, and stroke. RESULTS A total of 5,053 participants were included in the final analysis. Weighted multivariable linear regression models revealed that a lower MQI.total level was independently associated with an increased risk of CVD development in model 3, with t value =-3.48, 95%CI: (-0.24, -0.06), P = 0.002. During 5,053 person-years of 6.92 years of follow-up, there were 29 deaths from CVD. Still, the association between MQI.total and CVD mortality, as well as all-cause mortality did not reach statistical significance in the fully adjusted model (HR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.21-1.62, P = 0.30; HR = 0.91, 95% CI:0.65,1.28, P = 0.59, respectively). Subgroup analysis confirmed that MQI.total was negatively associated with congestive heart failure (OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.18,0.68, P = 0.01). CONCLUSION This study highlights the potential of MQI as a measure of muscle quality, its negative correlation with congestive heart failure (CHF). However, MQI was not very useful for predicting the health outcomes such as CVD and mortality. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the early recognition of muscle weakness progression in CHF. Further studies are needed to explore more effective indicator to evaluate the association between muscle quality and health outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research has emphasized the effects of lifestyle and genetics on ageing. However, the association between exposure to phthalates, which are extensively used in cosmetics and personal care products, and ageing is still unclear. METHOD Data for 4711 subjects from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2010 were incorporated in the present study. The acceleration of the Klemera-Doubal method-biological age (KDM-BA) and phenotypic Age (PhenoAge) were measured by the composite of 13 biomarkers. Multiple-linear and weighted-quantile sum (WQS) regression models were constructed to explore the relationships of single- and combined-phthalate exposures, as indicated by urinary phthalate metabolites, with KDM-BA and PhenoAge. A generalized additive model (GAM) was fitted to explore the potential nonlinear relationships among the above variables. RESULTS Except for mono-(carboxynonyl), all urinary phthalate metabolites were associated with biological ageing, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.241 to 0.526; however, mono-ethyl presented a negative correlation. The WQS models revealed mixed effects of combined urinary phthalate metabolites on ageing, with a 0.22-year ((95 % CI) 0.09, 0.32) increase in KDM-BA acceleration and a 0.27-year ((95 % CI) 0.13, 0.37) increase in PhenoAge acceleration for each decile increase in urinary phthalate metabolites. Moreover, MCPP, MEOHP, and MBzP seemed to be the top three phthalates in terms of biological ageing, with weights of 33.3 % and 32.2 %, 29.2 % and 17.2 %, and 21.5 % and 30.1 % in KDM-BA and PhenoAge acceleration, respectively. CONCLUSION Single-phthalate exposure was mostly associated with the ageing process, and combined-phthalate exposure presented mixed effects on biological ageing, emphasizing phthalate exposure as a significant risk factor for ageing.

Abstract
The study investigated the association between Serum Uric Acid (SUA) levels and all-cause as well as cardiovascular mortality in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This prospective cohort study enrolled participants with OSA from four cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2005 and 2008, and 2015-2018. A weighted Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Additionally, multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic splines (RCS) models were employed to examine nonlinear relationships between SUA and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Among the 5,584 OSA participants included in the study, covering the four NHANES cycles and with a median follow-up of 4.333 years, a total of 537 deaths were observed, including 108 deaths attributed to cardiovascular disease. Comparing the fourth quartile (Q4) of uric acid levels, both the fifth quartile (Q5) (aHRs = 1.51, 95% CI [1.08, 2.12]) and the second quartile (Q2) (aHRs = 1.53, 95% CI [1.04, 2.25]) of uric acid levels were independently associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Furthermore, comparing the fourth quartile (Q4) of uric acid levels, the second quartile (Q2) (aHRs = 2.40, 95% CI [1.08, 5.35]) of uric acid levels were independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. The RCS model demonstrated a U-shaped pattern in the association between SUA and all-cause mortality in OSA, with an inflection point observed at 5.83 mg/dl. The findings of this study suggest a U-shaped association between serum SUA levels and all-cause mortality and nonlinearity association between serum SUA levels and all-cause mortality. Further studies are warranted to determine the causal relationship between SUA levels and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract
Aims Serum uric acid (SUA) levels have been previously linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) according to various observational studies. However, whether this association is causally linked or simply influenced by confounding factors is unclear. Therefore, this study utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the causality between SUA levels and the risk of CVD in individuals with T2D. Methods Our study cohort consisted of 5723 participants who were diagnosed with T2D in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999-2018. The study assessed the association between SUA levels and the risk of CVD using a multivariable logistic regression model. To further examine causality between SUA levels and CVD, a two-sample MR study was conducted utilizing genetic data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involving over 140,000 individuals. The main MR analysis employed the inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) method. Additionally, several sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness and pleiotropy of the results. Results In the cross-sectional study, after multivariable adjustment, participants with SUA levels >6.7 mg/dL exhibited odds ratios (ORs) of 1.51 (95% CI: 1.01-2.26, p=0.049) for heart failure, 1.02 (95% CI: 0.69-1.50, p=0.937) for coronary heart disease, 1.36 (95% CI: 0.78-2.38, p=0.285) for angina, and 1.22 (95% CI: 0.80-1.85, p=0.355) for myocardial infarction when compared to participants with SUA levels ≤ 4.6 mg/dL. However, in the IVW analysis, no causality between SUA levels and the risk of heart failure was observed (OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.97-1.09, p = 0.293). The secondary analysis yielded similar results (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.96-1.14, p = 0.299). The sensitivity analyses further supported our primary findings. Conclusion Based on the MR study, we did not find supporting evidence for a causal association between SUA levels and the risk of heart failure.

Wakabayashi D, Kato S, Tanaka M, Yamakage H, Kato H, Kusakabe T, Ozu N, Kasama S, Kasahara M, Satoh-Asahara N. Novel pathological implications of serum uric acid with cardiovascular disease risk in obesity. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2023; 205:110919. [PMID: 37742802 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2023.110919] [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: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
AIMS This cohort study intended to elucidate the association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and cardiovascular disease events in Japanese patients with obesity. METHODS Altogether, 450 obese Japanese outpatients were enrolled in a multicenter prospective cohort Japan, the Japan Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome Study. Primary analysis regarding the measurements of cardiovascular risk factors, including SUA levels, and the occurrence of macrovascular complications was based on following the participants over a 5-year period. RESULTS Of the eligible patients, 335 (74.4%) were followed into the fifth year. During the study period, 15 coronary heart disease, 7 stroke, and 6 arteriosclerosis obliterans events occurred in 39 patients. The CVD incidence rate was 15.8 per 1000 person-years. In the analysis of adjusted models for traditional risk factors, hyperuricemia was a significant factor for the incidence of CVD events, especially in female obese patients. Additionally, we estimated the association between SUA levels and CVD events using cubic spline models, which showed a U-shaped association in both male and female patients. CONCLUSIONS SUA is an effective predictor of CVD events in female obese patients and a risk factor for CVD incident in obese patients.

Qin YN, Zheng XP. Association of frailty index with congestive heart failure, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among individuals with type 2 diabetes: a study from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), 1999-2018. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:210. [PMID: 37875981 PMCID: PMC10594933 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01165-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and frailty are strongly associated with congestive heart failure (CHF). Individuals with T2DM and CHF have a high frailty burden. The association of frailty with HF, all-cause, and cardiovascular mortality in patients with T2DM has not been thoroughly explored. METHODS This study included 2894 adults with T2DM from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database over ten cycles (1999-2018) and followed up for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality through 31 December 2019. The frailty index (FI) was calculated using a 46-item deficit model to assess frailty status. Weighted multivariable logistic regression was performed to explore the relationship between frailty and CHF in patients with T2DM. Weighted restricted cubic splines were used to evaluate the non-linear relationship between FI and outcome. All-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality association with FI was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier curve and COX proportional hazards regression accounting for sampling weights. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness of the results. RESULTS After the adjustment of essential confounders, a higher frailty index in T2DM was associated with increased odds of CHF (odds ratio [OR] for per 1-SD increase, 2.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.67-2.45; P < 0.0001). The presence of frailty T2DM (OR, 3.60; 95% CI 2.34-5.54; P < 0.0001) was associated with a significant increase in the prevalence of CHF compared to non-frailty T2DM in a fully adjusted model. During the median follow-up of 6.75 years, per 1-SD increase in FI was associated with a 41% higher risk of all-cause mortality and a 30% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality after being adjusted for all confounders. Similar results were observed when sensitivity analyses were performed. There was also a non-linear relationship between FI and all-cause mortality. In a weighted multivariate COX proportional model adjusted for full confounders, frailty T2DM increased all-cause (HR, 1.86; 95% CI 1.55-2.24; P < 0.0001) and cardiovascular (HR 1.66; 95% CI 1.18-2.33; P = 0.003) mortality and compared to non-frailty T2DM. The positive association of frailty index and all-cause mortality was only in participants without CHF. The positive association of frailty index and cardiovascular mortality was only in non-anti-diabetic drug users. CONCLUSIONS Frailty index in T2DM was positively associated with CHF in linear fashions. The Frailty index was positively correlated with all-cause and cardiovascular death in patients with T2DM. Frailty T2DM was positively associated with CHF, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality compared to non-frailty T2DM. Promoting frailty measurement and management in T2DM may be beneficial to reduce the burden of CHF and mortality.

High-normal serum uric acid predicts macrovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without hyperuricemia based on a 10-year cohort. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 33:1989-1997. [PMID: 37574432 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2023.07.012] [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: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The upper limits of normal serum uric acid (SUA) or the lower limits of hyperuricemia were frequently set at 420 or 360 μmol/L (7.0 or 6.0 mg/dL). We aimed to explore the association between high-normal SUA (360 ≤ SUA≤420 μmol/L) and incidence of macrovascular and renal events based on a 10-year cohort with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to explore which cut-off was more appropriate. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 2988 patients with T2DM without hyperuricemia (SUA≤420 μmol/L) were included and followed up. Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline regression were used to evaluate the relationship between baseline SUA (as continuous and categorical variable) and macrovascular and renal events. Patients were grouped as low-normal (SUA<360 μmol/L) and high-normal groups based on baseline SUA, and the latter group had higher incidence of macrovascular events. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that baseline levels of SUA were significantly associated with cardiovascular (HR = 1.385, 95%CI:1.190-1.613, P < 0.001) and peripheral vascular events (HR = 1.266, 95%CI:1.018-1.574, P = 0.034), and the linear association existed. Moreover, fully adjusted multivariable Cox analyses indicated high-normal SUA increased the risks of cardiovascular (HR = 1.835, 95%CI:1.319-2.554, P < 0.001) and peripheral vascular events (HR = 1.661, 95%CI:1.000-2.760, P = 0.050) compared to low-normal SUA. CONCLUSIONS Baseline SUA levels were positively associated with cardiovascular and peripheral vascular events, and high-normal SUA increased the risks of these events in patients with T2DM even without hyperuricemia. A threshold value for SUA of 360 μmol/L should be more appropriate in terms of predicting macrovascular events risks compared to the value of 420 μmol/L.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease signifies a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Serum uric acid (SUA) levels are elevated during the initial phases of impaired glucose metabolism. This work was designed to explore the association between SUA levels, serum oxido-inflammatory biomarkers, and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in T2DM patients as the primary outcome. The secondary outcome was to assess the prognostic role of SUA in the prediction of the risk of CAD in T2DM patients. METHODS In this case-control study, we enrolled 110 patients with T2DM who were further divided into patients with CAD and without CAD. In addition, 55 control participants were stringently matched to cases by age. RESULTS Diabetic patients with CAD had significantly higher serum levels of the inflammatory biomarkers and the oxidative malondialdehyde but significantly lower levels of serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) compared with the controls and diabetic patients without CAD. Significant positive correlations existed between SUA levels and serum levels of the inflammatory biomarkers and malondialdehyde, while a significant negative correlation existed between SUA levels and serum TAC. SUA demonstrated an accepted discrimination ability. SUA can differentiate between T2DM patients with CAD and patients without CAD, an area under the curve of 0.759. CONCLUSIONS Elevated serum levels of SUA and oxido-inflammatory biomarkers are associated with an increased risk of CAD in T2DM. SUA levels reflect the body's inflammatory status and oxidant injury in T2DM. SUA could be utilized as a simple biomarker in the prediction of CAD risk in T2DM.

Associations of long-term mortality with serum uric acid at admission in acute decompensated heart failure with different phenotypes. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 33:1998-2005. [PMID: 37544872 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2023.06.007] [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: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It remains unclear whether the long-term prognostic value of serum uric acid (SUA) at admission differs in acute decompensated heart failure (HF) patients across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). METHODS AND RESULTS In 2375 patients (38.9% women; mean age, 68.8 years), we assessed the risk of long-term (>1 year) all-cause mortality associated with per 1-SD increase in SUA at admission, using multivariable Cox regression in HF with preserved (HFpEF), mildly reduced (HFmrEF) and reduced (HFrEF) EF. During a median follow-up of 4.1 years, the long-term mortality rate was 39.9%. In all patients, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) expressing the risk of long-term mortality associated with SUA was 1.18 (95% CI, 1.11-1.26; P < 0.001). Compared with the low tertile of the SUA distribution, the sex- and age-adjusted cumulative incidence of long-term mortality was higher in the top tertile. In patients with HFpEF and HFrEF, SUA predicted the risk of long-term mortality with HRs amounting to 1.12 (95% CI, 1.02-1.21; P = 0.012) and 1.28 (95% CI, 1.12-1.47; P < 0.001), respectively. However, there were no associations between the risk of mortality and SUA in HFmrEF. Furthermore, age, sex, NYHA class, and the prevalence of coronary heart disease interacted significantly with SUA for predicting long-term mortality. CONCLUSION Higher levels of SUA at admission were associated with higher risk of long-term mortality in patients with different HF subtypes. The risk conferred by SUA was age and sex dependent. Our observations highlight that measuring SUA at admission may help to improve risk stratification.

Abstract
Obesity is a risk factor for the development of hyperuricemia, both of which were related to gut microbiota. However, whether alterations in the gut microbiota lie in the pathways mediating obesity's effects on hyperuricemia is less clear. Body mass index (BMI) and serum uric acid (SUA) were separately important indicators of obesity and hyperuricemia. Our study aims to investigate whether BMI-related gut microbiota characteristics would mediate the association between BMI and SUA levels. A total of 6,280 participants from Guangdong Gut Microbiome Project were included in this study. Stool samples were collected for 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The results revealed that BMI was significantly and positively associated with SUA. Meanwhile, BMI was significantly associated with the abundance of 102 gut microbial genera, 16 of which were also significantly associated with SUA. The mediation analysis revealed that the association between BMI and SUA was partially mediated by the abundance of Proteobacteria (proportion mediated: 0.94%, P < 0.05). At the genus level, 25 bacterial genera, including Ralstonia, Oscillospira, Faecalibacterium, etc., could also partially mediate the association of BMI with SUA (the highest proportion is mediated by Ralstonia, proportion mediated: 2.76%, P < 0.05). This study provided evidence for the associations among BMI, gut microbiota, and SUA, and the mediation analysis suggested that the association of BMI with SUA was partially mediated by the gut microbiota. IMPORTANCE Using 16S rRNA sequencing analysis, local interpretable machine learning technique analysis and mediation analysis were used to explore the association between BMI with SUA, and the mediating effects of gut microbial dysbiosis in the association were investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are risk factors for hyperuricemia. However, which anthropometric indices can better predict incident hyperuricemia in patients with T2DM remains inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the associations between hyperuricemia and different anthropometric indices in middle-aged and older male patients with T2DM. METHODS In this retrospective study, a total of 1447 middle-aged (45-65 years, n = 791) and older (≥ 65 years, n = 656) male patients with T2DM were collected from December 2015 to January 2020 at Shanghai Xinhua Hospital. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid level above 7.0 mg/dL. Weight, height, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) were measured by trained nurses at visit. RESULTS The median uric acid level of subjects was 5.6 (interquartile ranges: 4.7-6.7) mg/dl, and 279 (19.3%) were hyperuricemia, with 146 (18.5%) in the middle-aged group, and 133 (20.3%) in the older group. After adjusting for age, duration of T2DM, fasting plasma glucose and insulin, homeostasis model assessment-β, aspartate aminotransferase, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and estimated glomerular filtration rate, body mass index (BMI), WC, HC, and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were associated with a higher risk of hyperuricemia in both middle-aged and older group (P < 0.05). After further adjusting for BMI and WC, HC still showed a positive relationship with the risk of hyperuricemia (Odds Ratio = 1.51, 95% confidence intervals: 1.06-2.14) in the middle-aged group, but such relationship was not found in the older group. Moreover, according to receiver operating characteristic analysis, the optimal cutoff value was 101.3 cm of HC for hyperuricemia screening in the middle-aged male patients with T2DM. CONCLUSION In middle-aged male patients with T2DM, more attention should be paid to HC with the cutoff value of 101.3 cm in clinical practice for early recognition of individuals with a high risk of hyperuricemia for targeted guidance on disease prevention, such as community screening.

Abstract
The relationship between Serum Uric Acid (UA) and Cardiovascular (CV) diseases has already been extensively evaluated, and it was found to be an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality but also acute coronary syndrome, stroke and heart failure. Similarly, also many papers have been published on the association between UA and kidney function, while less is known on the role of UA in metabolic derangement and, particularly, in metabolic syndrome. Despite the substantial number of publications on the topic, there are still some elements of doubt: (1) the better cut-off to be used to refine CV risk (also called CV cut-off); (2) the needing for a correction of UA values for kidney function; and (3) the better definition of its role in metabolic syndrome: is UA simply a marker, a bystander or a key pathological element of metabolic dysregulation?. The Uric acid Right for heArt Health (URRAH) project was designed by the Working Group on uric acid and CV risk of the Italian Society of Hypertension to answer the first question. After the first papers that individuates specific cut-off for different CV disease, subsequent articles have been published responding to the other relevant questions. This review will summarise most of the results obtained so far from the URRAH research project.

Abstract
Alterations in the circulating concentrations of uric acid and its degradation product, allantoin, might account for the systemic pro-oxidant state and the increased cardiovascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We sought to address this issue by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between the plasma/serum concentrations of uric acid and allantoin and RA. We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception to 20 June 2023 for studies comparing plasma/serum concentrations of uric acid and allantoin between RA patients and healthy controls. We assessed the risk of bias with the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for analytical studies and the certainty of evidence with the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Working Group system. In the 19 studies selected for analysis, there were non-significant differences in uric acid concentrations between RA patients and controls (standard mean difference, SMD = 0.11, 95% CI -0.07 to 0.30, p = 0.22; I2 = 87.9%, p < 0.001; low certainty of evidence). By contrast, the concentrations of allantoin were significantly higher in RA patients (SMD = 1.10, 95% CI 0.66 to 1.55, p < 0.001; I2 = 55.6%, p = 0.08; extremely low certainty of evidence). In meta-regression, a significant association was observed between the SMD of uric acid concentrations and body mass index, a risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (t = 3.35, p = 0.007). Our study has shown a significant increase in the concentrations of the oxidative stress biomarker allantoin in patients with RA. Further research is warranted to investigate the interplay between uric acid, allantoin, redox balance, and cardiovascular disease in this group. (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023441127).

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review was to update the evidence regarding the link between serum uric acid and cardiovascular risk, as well as the role of nutrition in the prevention and management of hyperuricaemia. RECENT FINDINGS The review focuses on recent epidemiological evidence concerning the role of elevated serum uric acid levels in cardiovascular risk prediction. The dietary prevention and management of hyperuricaemia is also discussed with an emphasis on the adoption of prudent dietary patterns. SUMMARY There is evidence supporting that elevated serum uric acid levels are positively associated with cardiovascular disease risk and might represent a useful additional marker for risk stratification. The association of serum uric acid with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality seems to be U-shaped, suggesting that both very low and very high serum uric acid levels might be detrimental for survival, the former being mediated by malnutrition. Apart from medication, the dietary management of hyperuricaemia should focus on the adoption of a prudent dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet, which can both prevent gout and mitigate cardiometabolic risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on aspirin's effects on metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the association between aspirin and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in individuals with MAFLD. METHODS Data were acquired from the National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III. MAFLD diagnosis was consistent with that of international expert consensus. The independent association between aspirin and all-cause and CVD mortality in participants with MAFLD was evaluated by multiple Cox regression. Stratified analyses and interaction tests were performed to investigate whether covariates modified the association between aspirin and MAFLD mortality. RESULTS Of 4594 eligible participants, 3,162 (68.83%) never took aspirin (0 times/month), 962 (20.94%) took it occasionally (1-14 times/month) and 470 (10.23%) took it regularly (≥15 times/month). Multiple cox regression showed that aspirin was not associated with overall mortality for MAFLD individuals. Stratified analysis revealed that in middle-aged (45-59 years) participants with MAFLD, occasional aspirin use was associated with low all-cause mortality risk (HR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.43-0.86), while there was no significant association between aspirin and all-cause mortality among the young or the elderly. CONCLUSIONS We found that the association between aspirin and all-cause MAFLD mortality varies by both age and frequency of administration. More prospective studies are needed to explore aspirin's influence on MALFD mortality.

Abstract
Gout and hyperuricaemia are two clinical situations associated with an elevated risk of developing cardiovascular (heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke) and metabolic and renal complications. One reason is probably related to the fact that the prevalence of hyperuricaemia and gout is high in clinical situations, which themselves involve a high cardiovascular risk, such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease or obesity. However, recent studies suggest that hyperuricaemia may promote cardiovascular complications independently of other cardiovascular risk factors, by inducing chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction. The questions that arise today concern primarily the treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricaemia. Should it be treated to decrease the patients' cardiovascular risk and if so, starting from which level and towards which target? There are now several pieces of evidence indicating that this might be useful, but data from large studies are not unanimous. This review will discuss this issue as well as new well-tolerated treatments, such as febuxostat or SGLT2 inhibitors, which lower uric acid levels, prevent gout and lower the risk of cardio-renal events.

Abstract
Background Serum uric acid (SUA) interferes with lipid metabolism and is considered an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis, a major complication in patients with hyperlipidemia. However, the effects of uric acid levels on mortality in hyperlipidemic patients has yet to be sufficiently determined. In this study, we aimed to assess the association between all-cause mortality and SUA in a hyperlipidemic population. Methods To determine mortality rates, we obtained data for 20,038 hyperlipidemia patients from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2001-2018 and National Death Index. To examine the all-cause mortality effect of SUA, multivariable Cox regression models, restricted cubic spline models, and two pairwise Cox regression models were used. Results Over a median follow-up of 9.4 years, a total of 2079 deaths occurred. Mortality was examined according to SUA level quintiles: <4.2, 4.3-4.9, 5.0-5.7, 5.8-6.5, and >6.6 mg/dl. In multivariable analysis using 5.8-6.5 mg/dl SUA as a reference, the hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) of all-cause mortality across the five groups were 1.24 (1.06-1.45), 1.19 (1.03-1.38), 1.07 (0.94-1.23), 1.00 (reference), and 1.29 (1.13-1.48), respectively. According to a restricted cubic spline, we noted a U-shaped relationship between SUA and all-cause mortality. The inflection point was approximately 6.30 mg/dl, with hazard ratios of 0.91 (0.85-0.97) and 1.22 (1.10-1.35) to the left and right of the inflection point, respectively. In both sexes, SUA was characterized by a U-shaped association, with inflection points at 6.5 and 6.0 mg/dl for males and females, respectively. Conclusion Using nationally representative NHANES data, we identified a U-shaped association between SUA and all-cause mortality in participants with hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Aims We aim to examine the association of estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes. Methods All of adult participants with diabetes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999-2018) were enrolled. ePWV was calculated according to the previously published equation based on age and mean blood pressure. The mortality information was obtained from the National Death Index database. Weighted Kaplan-Meier (KM) plot and weighted multivariable Cox regression was used to investigate the association of ePWV with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risks. Restricted cubic spline was adopted to visualize the relationship between ePWV and mortality risks. Results 8,916 participants with diabetes were included in this study and the median follow-up duration was ten years. The mean age of study population was 59.0 ± 11.6 years, 51.3% of the participants were male, representing 27.4 million patients with diabetes in weighted analysis. The increment of ePWV was closely associated with increased risks of all-cause mortality (HR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.42-1.51) and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.50-1.68). After adjusting for cofounding factors, for every 1 m/s increase in ePWV, there was a 43% increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.38-1.47) and 58% increased of cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.50-1.68). ePWV had positive linear associations with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. KM plots also showed that the risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were significantly elevated in patients with higher ePWV. Conclusions ePWV had a close association with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risks in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to prospectively investigate gender-specific relationship between hyperuricemia and all-cause mortality among Chinese older adults. Methods: The study was based on the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) 2008-2018, a prospective nationwide cohort of older adults in China. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for all-cause mortality. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were conducted to explore the dose-response relationship between SUA levels and all-cause mortality. Results: For older women, compared to the participants in the third quartile of SUA level, those in the highest quartile of SUA was associated with significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality in the fully adjusted model (HR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.03-1.92). No significant associations between SUA levels and all-cause mortality were observed in older men. The present study further found a U-shaped non-linear relationship between SUA levels and all-cause mortality in both sexes of older population (P for non-linear <0.05). Conclusions: This study provided prospective epidemiological evidence for the predictive role of SUA on all-cause mortality among the Chinese aging population over 10 years of follow-up, while revealing considerable gender-related differences.
