Achieving a Systolic Blood Pressure Below 130 mmHg Reduces the Incidence of Cardiovascular Events in Hypertensive Patients with Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2024; 390:4-10. [PMID: 38135511 PMCID: PMC11192578 DOI: 10.1124/jpet.123.001952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Recent reports have evidenced an increased mortality rate in hypertensive patients with electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG-LVH) achieving systolic blood pressure (SBP) <130 mmHg. However, to the best of our knowledge, the actual effects of blood pressure reduction to the ≤130/80 mmHg target on the incidence of cardiovascular (CV) events have never been determined in hypertensive patients with a diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy based on echocardiographic criteria (Echo-LVH). Methods: To fill this long-standing knowledge gap, we harnessed a population of 9511 hypertensive patients, followed-up for 33.6 [interquartile range 7.9-72.7] months. The population was divided into six groups according to the average SBP achieved during the follow-up (≤130, 130-139, and ≥140 mmHg) and absence/presence of Echo-LVH. The primary endpoint was a composite of fatal or nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke, sudden cardiac death, heart failure requiring hospitalization, revascularization, and carotid stenting. Secondary endpoints included atrial fibrillation and transient ischemic attack. Results: During the follow-up, achieved SBP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were comparable between patients with and without Echo-LVH. Strikingly, the rates of primary and secondary endpoints were significantly higher in patients with Echo-LVH and SBP >130 mmHg, reaching the highest values in the Echo-LVH group with SBP ≥140 mmHg. By separate Cox multivariable regressions, after adjusting for potential confounders, both primary and secondary endpoints were significantly associated with SBP ≥140 mmHg and Echo-LVH. Instead, DBP reduction ≤80 mmHg was associated with a significant increased rate of secondary events. Conclusions: In hypertensive patients with Echo-LVH, achieving an average in-treatment SBP target ≤130 mmHg has a beneficial prognostic impact on incidence of CV events. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Contrary to recent findings, achieving in-treatment SBP ≤130 mmHg lowers the incidence of CV events in hypertensive patients with Echo-LVH. However, reducing DBP ≤80 mmHg is linked to increased CV complications. Cox multivariable regression models, considering potential confounders, reveal that the rate of hard and soft CV events is significantly associated with Echo-LVH and SBP ≥140 mmHg. Our data indicate that therapeutic strategies for Echo-LVH patients should target SBP ≤130 mmHg while avoiding lowering DBP ≤80 mmHg.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been increasing. With the popularization of endoscopic technology, a number of early CRC has been diagnosed. However, despite current treatment methods, some patients with early CRC still experience postoperative recurrence and metastasis. AIM To search for indicators associated with early CRC recurrence and metastasis to identify high-risk populations. METHODS A total of 513 patients with pT2N0M0 or pT3N0M0 CRC were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Results of blood routine test, liver and kidney function tests and tumor markers were collected before surgery. Patients were followed up through disease-specific database and telephone interviews. Tumor recurrence, metastasis or death were used as the end point of study to find the risk factors and predictive value related to early CRC recurrence and metastasis. RESULTS We comprehensively compared the predictive value of preoperative blood routine, blood biochemistry and tumor markers for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of CRC. Cox multivariate analysis demonstrated that low platelet count was significantly associated with poor DFS [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.995, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.991-0.999, P = 0.015], while serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level (HR = 1.008, 95%CI: 1.001-1.016, P = 0.027) and serum total cholesterol level (HR = 1.538, 95%CI: 1.026-2.305, P = 0.037) were independent risk factors for OS. The cutoff value of serum CEA level for predicting OS was 2.74 ng/mL. Although the OS of CRC patients with serum CEA higher than the cutoff value was worse than those with lower CEA level, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P = 0.075). CONCLUSION For patients with T2N0M0 or T3N0M0 CRC, preoperative platelet count was a protective factor for DFS, while serum CEA level was an independent risk factor for OS. Given that these measures are easier to detect and more acceptable to patients, they may have broader applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To evaluate the effect of lifestyle modification by adopting a DASH diet, with and without physical activity guidance, on blood pressure, glycemic control, lipid profile, weight, and body composition in older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS For this randomized clinical trial, we recruited patients aged 60 years or older with T2DM and uncontrolled hypertension. One group (DASH) received only DASH dietary guidance, while the other group (DASHPED) received dietary guidance and encouragement to walk with a pedometer. Outcomes of interest were (1) blood pressure, (2) physical activity, (3) weight, body mass index (BMI), and body composition, and (4) biochemical variables. Measurements were taken at baseline and 16 weeks after the intervention. We included 35 patients in the analysis. At the end of the study, the DASHPED group had an mean increase in physical activity of 1721 steps/day. Both groups displayed significantly reduced weight, BMI, and waking diastolic pressures on ambulatory blood pressure monitoring after the intervention. A trend of reduced sleeping diastolic pressure was found in the DASHPED group. Changes in weight, BMI, muscle mass, body fat, waist-hip ratio, glycemic control, lipid profile, and insulin sensitivity did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSION There was no difference in outcomes between the group that only dieted and the group that also performed increased physical activity, despite a significant increase in exercise. This reinforces the importance of dietary changes in immediate blood pressure control.

Abstract
High-grade intracoronary thrombus (ICT) burden leads to greater myocardial injury following anterior myocardial infarction (MI). The modified Glasgow prohgnostic score (mGPS) is a novel immune-inflammatory index, calculated by using C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin levels, was shown to have prognostic value in heart diseases. The present study investigated the role of mGPS in predicting high grade ICT in patients with acute anterior MI admitted between February 2017 and March 2020. Blood samples were obtained at admission and mGPS was calculated. The ICT burden was evaluated visually from angiographic images. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the ICT burden as high and low. A total of 1132 patients were enrolled: a mean age 61 ± 12.4 years and 370 males (32.7%). Serum albumin was lower, whereas mGPS and CRP were higher in high grade ICT group. CRP (odds ratio (OR): 1.404 95% CI: 1.312-1.502; P < .001), albumin (OR: .486; 95% CI: .301-.782 P < .001), and mGPS (0 vs ≥ 1) (OR: 7.391; 95% CI: 3.910-13.972; P < .001) were independent predictors of high-grade ICT burden in the left anterior descending coronary artery. The mGPS is a novel predictor of high-grade ICT burden and may be useful for risk stratification in patients with acute anterior MI.

Abstract
Cardiovascular, renal and metabolic (CaReMe) diseases are individually among the leading global causes of death, and each is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. However, as these conditions commonly coexist in the same patient, the individual risk of mortality and morbidity is further compounded, leading to a considerable healthcare burden. A number of pathophysiological pathways are common to diseases of the CaReMe spectrum, including neurohormonal dysfunction, visceral adiposity and insulin resistance, oxidative stress and systemic inflammation. Because of the shared pathology and common co-occurrence of the CaReMe diseases, the value of managing these conditions holistically is increasingly being realized. A number of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches have been shown to offer simultaneous metabolic, cardioprotective and renoprotective benefits, leading to improved patient outcomes across the CaReMe spectrum. In addition, increasing value is being placed on interdisciplinary team-based and coordinated care models built on greater integration between specialties to increase the rate of early diagnosis and adherence to practice guidelines, and improve clinical outcomes. This interdisciplinary approach also facilitates integration between primary and specialty care, improving the patient experience, optimizing resources, and leading to efficiencies and cost savings. As the burden of CaReMe diseases continues to increase, implementation of innovative and integrated care delivery models will be essential to achieve effective and efficient chronic disease management and to ensure that patients benefit from the best care available across all three disciplines.

Abstract
Perceived health and distresses are associated with the practice of lifestyle modifications, which increases the risk of diabetes and hypertension-related complications. This study aimed to define the characteristics and distribution of perceived health and distresses across the states between people with diabetes and hypertension. Data were derived from a national survey of US adults aged ≥18 years who were interviewed via phone call. Perceived health and distresses were assessed through corresponding questions. An amount of 333,316 respondents (43,911 with diabetes and 130,960 with hypertension) were included in the analysis; 61.8% of people with diabetes and 74.5% of people with hypertension reported having good or better health, while residents in the Southwest region perceived poor health statuses and more distresses. Education level (diabetes: odds ratio [OR] = 0.47-0.79, hypertension: OR = 0.42-0.76), employment status level (diabetes: OR = 1.40-2.22, hypertension: OR = 1.56-2.49), and household income (diabetes: OR = 0.22-0.65, hypertension: OR = 0.15-0.78) were significant factors associated with poorly perceived health among people with diabetes and hypertension, and the use of technology and strategies for policymakers are suggested to improve the perceived health status in this regard.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lack of time is often cited by persons with type 2 diabetes for non-participation in regular exercise. This highlights the need to explores ways to help persons with type 2 diabetes to engage in an active lifestyle. This study evaluated the effect of a short duration norm intensity exercise on blood glucose and blood pressure in persons with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Twenty persons with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to either training group (n = 10) or control group (n = 10). The training group received 4-weeks ambulatory training on a motor-driven treadmill (2 x 20 min per week at 60% target heart rate). The control group received no training. Blood glucose, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures were assessed before and after the 4-weeks training. Repeated measures ANOVA were used to examine training effect. RESULTS Training significantly improved blood glucose (mean difference = -2.73; p = 0.03). No effects were found for systolic blood pressure (mean difference = -0.30; p = 0.96) and diastolic blood pressure (mean difference = -0.90; p = 0.82). CONCLUSION Training improved blood glucose but not blood pressure. A short-duration ambulatory training is an appropriate exercise mode to elicit beneficial effect, and exercise adoption in persons with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical evolution of patients with diabetic foot ulcer treated with antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using the Bates-Jensen (BJ) scale. A total of 21 patients were monitored, with an average age of 58 years. Patients underwent the standard treatment protocol of the institution, supplemented with aPDT utilizing 0.01% methylene blue (MB) and laser irradiation (660 nm, 100 mW, 6 J per point). Following aPDT, the lesions were protected with hydrofiber dressings containing silver. The Bates-Jensen Scale was employed at pre-treatment and post-aPDT sessions to assess lesion progression. The results demonstrated a significant difference between pre- and post-treatment values in the overall BJ score. The use of MB in aPDT proved to be an effective, safe, well-tolerated treatment with high patient adherence and the potential for implementation in the care of diabetic foot conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND South Asians face a high prevalence of type II diabetes (DMII) and comorbid hypertension (HTN). Community health worker (CHW) interventions have the potential to improve chronic disease outcomes, yet few have been tailored to South Asian populations in the United States. OBJECTIVE To test the effectiveness of an evidence-based CHW-led and culturally-tailored HTN and DMII management program for South Asian adults with diabetes and comorbid uncontrolled HTN (systolic blood pressure (SBP) > 130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) > 80 mmHg). DESIGN Randomized-controlled Trial. PARTICIPANTS South Asian adults with DMII and comorbid HTN. INTERVENTION The Diabetes Research, Education, and Action for Minorities (DREAM) Atlanta intervention was a CHW telehealth intervention designed to improve blood pressure (BP). The treatment group received five virtual group-based health education sessions, an action plan, and follow-up calls to assess goal setting activities. The control group received only the first session. Main Measures included: feasibility, improvement in BP control, and decreases in SBP, DBP, weight, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). KEY RESULTS A total of 190 South Asian adults were randomized (97 to the treatment group and 93 to the control group); 94% of treatment group participants completed all 5 telehealth sessions. At endpoint, BP control increased 33.7% (95% CI: 22.5, 44.9, p < 0.001) in the treatment group and 16.5% (95%: 6.2, 26.8, p = 0.003) in the control group; the adjusted intervention effect was 1.8 (95% CI: 1.0, 3.2, p = 0.055). Mean weight decreased by 4.8 pounds (95% CI: -8.2, -1.4, p = 0.006) in the treatment group, and the adjusted intervention effect was -5.2 (95% CI: -9.0, -1.4, p = 0.007. The intervention had an overall retention of 95%. CONCLUSIONS A culturally-tailored, CHW-led telehealth intervention is feasible and can improve BP control among South Asian Americans with DMII.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and their association with the quality of life in patients with hypertension. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study included 123 patients with hypertension. DDIs were evaluated using the Medscape Drug Interaction Checker Database (Medscape, New York, NY). The EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) Quality of Life Scale was used for each patient. Results The overall blood pressure control rate (systolic/diastolic blood pressure levels, <140/90 mmHg) was 43% (53/123). The age of the patients with uncontrolled hypertension was higher than the patients with controlled hypertension (63.67 ± 11.00 vs. 58.42 ± 10.07 years; p = 0.007). The number of DDIs showed significant correlations, positively with age (r = 0.303, p = 0.001), total number of drugs (r = 0.784, p < 0.001), number of antihypertensive drugs (r = 0.640, p < 0.001), and body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.321, p < 0.001) and inversely with EQ-5D index score (r = -0.247, p = 0.006). The EQ-5D index and visual analog score were inversely correlated with age and BMI. Additional significant linear correlations between age and the total number of drugs, age and number of the antihypertensive drugs, the number of antihypertensive drugs and BMI, and the number of total drugs and BMI were detected. Of a total of 511 identified DDIs, 14 interactions in 12 patients were considered serious, 402 interactions in 82 patients were considered significant, and 95 interactions in 39 patients were considered minor. Conclusions This study supports that DDIs have important associations with antihypertensive treatment and the quality of life of patients. Higher age and BMI values were associated with a higher risk of DDIs and lower quality of life in patients with hypertension.

Abstract
Although orthostatic hypotension (OH) has long been recognized as a manifestation of autonomic dysfunction, a growing body of literature has identified OH as a common comorbidity of hypertension. This connection is complex, related to pathophysiology in blood pressure regulation and the manner by which OH is derived as the difference between 2 blood pressure measurements. While traditional therapeutic approaches to OH among patients with neurodegenerative disorders focus on increasing upright blood pressure to prevent cerebral hypoperfusion, the management of OH among patients with hypertension is more nuanced; resting hypertension is itself associated with adverse outcomes among these patients. Although there is substantial evidence that intensive blood pressure treatment does not cause OH in the majority of patients with essential hypertension, some classes of antihypertensive agents may unmask OH in patients with an underlying autonomic impairment. Practical steps to manage OH among adults with hypertension start with (1) a thorough characterization of its patterns, triggers, and cause; (2) review and removal of aggravating factors (often pharmacological agents not related to hypertension treatment); (3) optimization of an antihypertensive regimen; and (4) adoption of a tailored treatment strategy that avoids exacerbating hypertension. These strategies include countermaneuvers and short-acting vasoactive agents (midodrine, droxidopa). Ultimately, further research is needed on the epidemiology of OH, the impact of hypertension treatment on OH, approaches to the screening and diagnosis of OH, and OH treatment among adults with hypertension to improve the care of these patients and their complex blood pressure pathophysiology.

Abstract
Introduction People living with type 2 diabetes who experience homelessness face a myriad of barriers to engaging in diabetes self-care behaviors that lead to premature complications and death. This is exacerbated by high rates of comorbid mental illness, substance use disorder, and other physical health problems. Despite strong evidence to support lay health coach and behavioral activation, little research has effectively engaged people living with type 2 diabetes who had experienced homelessness (DH). Methods We used community engaged research and incremental behavioral treatment development to design the Diabetes HOmeless MEdication Support (D-HOMES) program, a one-on-one, 3 month, coaching intervention to improve medication adherence and psychological wellness for DH. We present results of our pilot randomized trial (with baseline, 3 mo., 6 mo. assessments) comparing D-HOMES to enhanced usual care (EUC; brief diabetes education session and routine care; NCT05258630). Participants were English-speaking adults with type 2 diabetes, current/recent (<24 mo.) homelessness, and an HbA1c‗7.5%. We focused on feasibility (recruitment, retention, engagement) and acceptability (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, CSQ-8). Our primary clinical outcome was glycemic control (HbA1c) and primary behavioral outcome was medication adherence. Secondary outcomes included psychological wellness and diabetes self-care. Results Thirty-six eligible participants enrolled, 18 in each arm. Most participants identified as Black males, had high rates of co-morbidities, and lived in subsidized housing. We retained 100% of participants at 3-months, and 94% at 6-months. Participants reported high satisfaction (mean CSQ-8 scores=28.64 [SD 3.94] of 32). HbA1c reduced to clinically significant levels in both groups, but we found no between group differences. Mean blood pressure improved more in D-HOMES than EUC between baseline and 6 mo. with between group mean differences of systolic -19.5 mmHg (p=0.030) and diastolic blood pressure -11.1 mmHg (p=0.049). We found no significant between group differences in other secondary outcomes. Conclusion We effectively recruited and retained DH over 6 months. Data support that the D-HOMES intervention was acceptable and feasible. We observe preliminary blood pressure improvement favoring D-HOMES that were statistically and clinically significant. D-HOMES warrants testing in a fully powered trial which could inform future high quality behavioral trials to promote health equity.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a leading cause of lower limb amputations in people with diabetes. This study was aimed to retrospectively analyze factors affecting DFU using real-world data from a large, prospective central-European diabetes registry (DPV [Diabetes-Patienten-Verlaufsdokumentation]). MATERIALS AND METHODS We matched adults with type 1 (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) and DFU to controls without DFU by diabetes type, age, sex, diabetes duration, and treatment year to compare possible risk factors. Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratios for amputation among those with DFU. RESULTS In our cohort (N = 63 464), male sex, taller height, and diabetes complications such as neuropathy, peripheral artery disease, nephropathy, and retinopathy were associated with DFU (all p < .001). Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was related to DFU only in T1D (mean with 95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.8 [6.9-9.0] % vs 7.5 [6.8-8.5] %, p < .001). High triglycerides and worse low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio were also associated with DFU in T1D, whereas smoking (14.7% vs 13.1%) and alcohol abuse (6.4% vs 3.8%, both p < .001) were associated with DFU in T2D. Male sex, higher Wagner grades, and high HbA1c in both diabetes types and insulin use in T2D were associated with increased hazard ratios for amputations. CONCLUSIONS Sex, body height, and diabetes complications were associated DFU risk in adults with T1D and T2D. Improvement in glycemic control and lipid levels in T1D and reduction of smoking and drinking in T2D may be appropriate interventions to reduce the risk for DFU or amputations.

Abstract
Aging in an individual refers to the temporal change, mostly decline, in the body's ability to meet physiological demands. Biological age (BA) is a biomarker of chronological aging and can be used to stratify populations to predict certain age-related chronic diseases. BA can be predicted from biomedical features such as brain MRI, retinal, or facial images, but the inherent heterogeneity in the aging process limits the usefulness of BA predicted from individual body systems. In this paper, we developed a multimodal Transformer-based architecture with cross-attention which was able to combine facial, tongue, and retinal images to estimate BA. We trained our model using facial, tongue, and retinal images from 11,223 healthy subjects and demonstrated that using a fusion of the three image modalities achieved the most accurate BA predictions. We validated our approach on a test population of 2,840 individuals with six chronic diseases and obtained significant difference between chronological age and BA (AgeDiff) than that of healthy subjects. We showed that AgeDiff has the potential to be utilized as a standalone biomarker or conjunctively alongside other known factors for risk stratification and progression prediction of chronic diseases. Our results therefore highlight the feasibility of using multimodal images to estimate and interrogate the aging process.

[PMID: 38269631 PMCID: PMC10790318 DOI: 10.1002/clc.24213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Usual measures of blood pressure (BP) do not account for both the magnitude and duration of exposure to elevated BP over time. We aimed to demonstrate the effect of a novel time-weighted BP on cardiovascular outcomes using a post hoc analysis of two published randomized trials. HYPOTHESIS Time-weighted blood pressure is associated with cardiovascular risk among patients with or without diabetes. METHODS The limited-access ACCORD and SPRINT data sets were used for the current study. Time-weighted BP is obtained by dividing cumulative BP by the total follow-up time. Time-weighted BP burden above a threshold is also determined after deriving the time-weighted BP by re-zeroing the interpolated pressure values at two different hypertension thresholds (>140/90 and >130/80 mmHg). RESULTS Eighteen thousand five hundred forty-one patients from the two clinical trials were enrolled in this study. A J-curve relation was observed between time-weighted BP and major cardiovascular events (MACE). The systolic blood pressure (SBP) burden independently predicted MACE across the two trials at different thresholds (ACCORD: SBP > 130 mmHg, HR = 1.05 [1.03-1.06]; SBP > 140 mmHg, HR = 1.06 [1.04-1.08]; SPRINT: SBP > 130 mmHg, HR = 1.04 [1.03-1.05]; SBP > 140 mmHg, HR = 1.05 [1.04-1.07]). Consistent results were found for diastolic blood pressure (DBP) burden (ACCORD: DBP > 80 mmHg, HR = 1.10 [1.06-1.15]; DBP > 90 mmHg, HR = 1.20 [1.11-1.30]. SPRINT DBP > 80 mmHg, HR = 1.06 [1.02-1.09]; DBP > 90 mmHg, HR = 1.12 [1.06-1.18]). Significant associations were also observed for stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, and all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION Both time-weighted SBP and DBP independently influenced the risk of adverse cardiovascular events among patients with and without diabetes, regardless of the definition of hypertension (130/80 or <140/90 mmHg).

[PMID: 38323398 PMCID: PMC10851749 DOI: 10.1177/21501319241229018] [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: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Disparities in diabetes care quality may have increased for patients with limited English language proficiency (LEP) compared to non-LEP patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in diabetes care quality for adult LEP and non-LEP patients of community health centers (CHCs) were examined from 2019 to 2020. METHODS Adults with Type 2 diabetes (n = 15 965) of 88 CHC sites in California and with 1+ visit/year in 2019 and 2020 from OCHIN electronic health record data were included. Multivariable regression models estimated the association of LEP status and changes in diabetes care quality from 2019 to 2020, controlling for patient sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Interaction terms (LEP × 2020) were used to estimate differential over time changes in (1) blood pressure screening, (2) blood pressure control (<140/90 mm Hg), and (3) hemoglobin A1c control (HbA1c <8%) for LEP versus non-LEP patients. RESULTS LEP and non-LEP patients with diabetes had comparable blood pressure screening and control in 2019 and in 2020. LEP patients were less likely than non-LEP patients to have their HbA1c under control in 2019 (OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.77, 0.96, P = .006) and 2020 (OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.75, 0.92, P = .001). There were no differential changes in HbA1c control over time for LEP and non-LEP patients. DISCUSSION Although LEP patients were less likely than non-LEP patients to have their HbA1c under control, CHCs maintained quality of care equally for LEP and non-LEP patients with diabetes during the early pandemic period.

Socioecological Factors Associated with Hypertension Awareness and Control Among Older Adults in Brazil and Colombia: Correlational Analysis from the International Mobility in Aging Study.

Abstract
Background Hypertension awareness and control are understudied among older adults in middle-income countries, with limited work contextualizing awareness and control across layers of influence (individual to the community). Research on hypertension in Latin America is acknowledged as insufficient. Objectives This study applies the socioecological model (SEM) to examine individual, interpersonal, institutional, and community factors related to hypertension awareness and control in older adults residing in Brazil and Colombia. It identifies groups of older adults more likely to be unaware of their condition and/or to have challenges achieving hypertension control. Methods We analyzed International Mobility in Aging Study data of 803 community-dwelling adults 65-74 years from study sites in the two most populous countries in South America. The study framework was the socioecological model. Logistic regression models identified factors associated with hypertension awareness and control. Conclusions Hypertension was prevalent in both samples (>70%), and awareness was high (>80%). Blood pressure control among diagnosed respondents was low: 30% in Brazil and 51% in Colombia. Factors across the socioecological model were associated with awareness and control, with notable differences across countries. Those with diabetes (OR 4.19, 95%CI 1.64-10.71) and insufficient incomes (OR: 1.85, 95%CI 1.03-3.31) were more likely to be aware of their hypertension. In Colombia, those reporting no community activity engagement were less likely to be aware compared to those reporting community activities. In Brazil, it was the opposite. Women (OR 1.66, 95%CI 1.12-2.46) and those reporting strolling shops and stores (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.09-3.00) were significantly more likely to have their hypertension under control. In Brazil, those 70-75 were significantly less likely to have their hypertension under control compared to their younger counterparts. In Colombia, this was not observed. This paper highlights the importance of theory-based studies within unique Latin American contexts on hypertension and suggests novel opportunities for intervention.

Abstract
More than one-third of people with diabetes develop diabetic kidney disease (DKD), which substantially increases risks of kidney failure, cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypoglycemia, death, and other adverse health outcomes. A multifaceted approach incorporating self-management education, lifestyle optimization, pharmacological intervention, CVD prevention, and psychosocial support is crucial to mitigate the onset and progression of DKD. The American Diabetes Association convened an expert panel to develop the DKD Prevention Model presented herein. This model addresses prevention and treatment, including screening guidelines, diagnostic tools, and management approaches; comprehensive, holistic interventions; well-defined roles for interdisciplinary health care professionals; community engagement; and future directions for research and policy.

Abstract
Background The role of certain biomarkers in the development of single cardiometabolic disease (CMD) has been intensively investigated. Less is known about the association of biomarkers with multiple CMDs (cardiometabolic multimorbidity, CMM), which is essential for the exploration of molecular targets for the prevention and treatment of CMM. We aimed to systematically synthesize the current evidence on CMM-related biomarkers. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Ebsco for relevant studies from inception until August 31st, 2022. Studies reported the association of serum/plasma biomarkers with CMM, and relevant effect sizes were included. The outcomes were five progression patterns of CMM: (1) no CMD to CMM; (2) type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) followed by stroke; (3) T2DM followed by coronary heart disease (CHD); (4) T2DM followed by stroke or CHD; and (5) CHD followed by T2DM. Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the included studies. A meta-analysis was conducted to quantify the association of biomarkers and CMM. Results A total of 68 biomarkers were identified from 42 studies, which could be categorized into five groups: lipid metabolism, glycometabolism, liver function, immunity, and others. Lipid metabolism biomarkers were most reported to associate with CMM, including TC, TGs, HDL-C, LDL-C, and Lp(a). Fasting plasma glucose was also reported by several studies, and it was particularly associated with coexisting T2DM with vascular diseases. According to the quantitative meta-analysis, HDL-C was negatively associated with CHD risk among patients with T2DM (pooled OR for per 1 mmol/L increase = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.77-0.82), whereas a higher TGs level (pooled OR for higher than 150 mg/dL = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.10-1.75) was positively associated with CHD risk among female patients with T2DM. Conclusion Certain serum/plasma biomarkers were associated with the progression of CMM, in particular for those related to lipid metabolism, but heterogeneity and inconsistent findings still existed among included studies. There is a need for future research to explore more relevant biomarkers associated with the occurrence and progression of CMM, targeted at which is important for the early identification and prevention of CMM.

BMJ Open 2023; 13:e075370. [PMID: 37963706 PMCID: PMC10649606 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-075370] [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: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to ascertain how the standard of living is associated with the likelihood of developing diabetes and hypertension directly as well as indirectly through overweight and obesity. STUDY DESIGN The study used 2017-2018 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data. It examined the household living standard (LSD) as the main factor, and body mass index (BMI) as a mediator. Outcomes included diabetes status, hypertension status and their co-occurrence. Structural equation modelling with logistic regression and bootstrapping were used for mediation analysis and computing bias-corrected SEs. SETTING The research was carried out in Bangladesh and included both male and female adults. PARTICIPANTS The study encompassed a total of 11 961 adults (5124 males and 6837 females) aged 18 years or older. RESULTS Among the participants, 10.3% had diabetes, 28.6% had hypertension and 4.9% had both conditions. The prevalence of diabetes, hypertension or both conditions was 18.5%, 33.5% and 9.7%, respectively, among those with a high LSD. Regression analysis demonstrated that individuals with high LSD had significantly elevated risks of these conditions compared with those with low LSD: 133% higher odds for diabetes (OR 2.22; 95% CI 1.97 to 2.76), 25% higher odds for hypertension (OR 1.25; 95% CI 1.10 to 1.42) and 148% higher odds for both conditions (OR 2.48; 95% CI 1.96 to 3.14). Moreover, the indirect effects of high LSD through obesity surpassed its direct effects for developing diabetes, hypertension or both conditions. CONCLUSION This study emphasises that with the enhancement of LSD, individuals often experience weight gain, resulting in elevated BMI levels. This cascade effect significantly amplifies the risks of diabetes, hypertension or both conditions. To counteract this concerning trajectory, policy interventions and targeted awareness campaigns are imperative. These efforts must prioritise the promotion of heightened physical activity and the mitigation of the overweight/obesity surge associated with rising LSD.

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

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) with equal energy expenditure on glycaemic and cardiometabolic risk factors in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) when compared to the control. Sixty-three people with T2DM were randomly assigned to HIIT, MICT, or non-exercising controls. Individuals were trained with HIIT at 90 and 30% of their VO2peak (1:2 min ratio) starting from 8 up to 16 intervals and MICT at 50% of VO2peak, on a cycle ergometer, 3 times/week for 12 weeks under supervision. The primary outcome measure was the change in HbA1c. Aerobic capacity, cardiovascular responses, anthropometric measures, body composition, glycaemic, and cardiometabolic risk factors were measured at the beginning and the end of the 12-week training period. There was no significant difference between HIIT and MICT or when compared to the control for HbA1c, glucose, insulin resistance, blood lipids, cardiovascular responses, anthropometric measures, body composition, and abdominal and visceral fat (padj > 0.05). HIIT and MICT increased VO2peak significantly compared to controls (p < 0.05) but not to each other (p > 0.05). Both HIIT and MICT improved VO2peak and HbA1c after 12 weeks of training compared to their baseline, furthermore, only MICT caused additional improvements in cardiovascular responses, anthropometric measures, and abdominal fat compared to baseline (p < 0.05). As a conclusion, isoenergetic HIIT or MICT did not improve HbA1c. The two protocols were equally efficient for improvement in aerobic capacity but had little effect on other cardiometabolic factors.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03682445.HighlightsHIIT and MICT with equal energy expenditure were equally efficient for aerobic capacity compared to controls.Isoenergetic HIIT or MICT were not superior for improving HbA1c.Isoenergetic HIIT and MICT were not superior to each other for anthropometric measures, body composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the causal association of type 2 diabetes and its components with risk of vascular complications independent of shared risk factors obesity and hypertension and to identify the main driver of this risk. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) using independent genetic variants previously associated with type 2 diabetes, fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, BMI, and systolic blood pressure as instrumental variables. We obtained summary-level data for 18 vascular diseases (15 for type 2 diabetes) from FinnGen and publicly available genome-wide association studies as our outcomes. We conducted univariable and multivariable MR, in addition to sensitivity tests to detect and minimize pleiotropic effects. RESULTS Univariable MR analysis showed that type 2 diabetes was associated with 9 of 15 outcomes; BMI and systolic blood pressure were associated with 13 and 15 of 18 vascular outcomes, respectively; and fasting insulin was associated with 4 and fasting glucose with 2. No robust association was found for HbA1c instruments. With adjustment for correlated traits in the multivariable test, BMI and systolic blood pressure, consistent causal effects were maintained, while five associations with type 2 diabetes (chronic kidney disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracerebral hemorrhage) were attenuated to null. CONCLUSIONS Our findings add strong evidence to support the importance of BMI and systolic blood pressure in the development of vascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes. Such findings strongly support the need for better weight and blood pressure management in type 2 diabetes, independent of glucose lowering, to limit important complications.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite much evidence showing the effectiveness of structured self-management education for diabetes, poor glycemic control remains a challenge among empty nest older adults. OBJECTIVE We explored the effect of a health education intervention based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model on the self-management of empty nest older adults with type 2 diabetes in Lanzhou, China. METHODS We conducted a 2-armed, randomized controlled trial using a multistage sampling method. A total of 100 patients were randomly assigned to receive either community nurse-led diabetes education based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model or general community diabetes education. Self-management scores and blood glucose were compared at baseline and at 3 and 6 months after the intervention. RESULTS Analyses were conducted on the 98 patients completing follow-up. In the experimental group, diabetes self-management knowledge (t = 7.578, P < .001), self-management attitude (t = 9.155, P < .001), self-management behavior (t = 7.809, P < .001), and overall self-management scores (t = 7.626, P < .001) improved, with hemoglobin A1c (t = -2.825, P = .006), fasting plasma glucose (t = -3.100, P = .003), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (t = -3.812, P < .001), and diastolic blood pressure (t = -2.104, P = .038) decreasing compared with the control group at 6 months postintervention. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that education based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model was more effective than general health education in improving diabetes self-management and glycemic control among empty nest older adults.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to compare pain medication use trends among adults with and without type 2 diabetes in the US. This cross-sectional study used data of adults with and without (type 2) diabetes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey waves 2005-2018. Use of pain medication including opioids, prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gabapentinoids, serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, skeletal muscle relaxants, and headache treatment agents was compared by diabetes status and within select social determinants of health and clinical factors. Adults with type 2 diabetes were twice as likely to be prescribed pain medications compared to those without a diabetes diagnosis (16.2% vs 8.6%). Females and those with a history of smoking or arthritis were more likely to be on pain medications. Opioid use was the most prevalent regardless of diabetes status, and use was twice as high among those with diabetes (10.8% vs 5.5%). Patients with type 2 diabetes in the US are twice as likely to be prescribed pain medications overall as well as opioids compared with those without diabetes. Clinical guideline recommendations are necessary to find pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic nociceptive pain management specific for patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Autoimmune liver diseases include autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. They are chronic, heterogenous diseases affecting the liver which is a key metabolic organ that ensures glucose homeostasis. It is well known that patients with other chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) display glucose disturbances like insulin resistance and have an increased risk of diabetes. Previous evidence on glucose disturbances in patients with autoimmune liver disease is scarce but does point towards a potentially increased risk of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. The underlying mechanisms are unknown but may reflect genetic predisposition, concurrent NAFLD and or cirrhosis development, and treatment (steroid) related impairment of glucose homeostasis. Therefore, increased awareness and surveillance of diabetes development in patients with autoimmune liver disease may be important. Overall, detection and treatment of diabetes generally follow the usual diabetes guidelines; however, in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis, HbA1c may not be a reliable marker of average glucose levels, and treatment with insulin is generally recommended. In addition, it has recently been suggested that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors may be beneficial in treating refractory ascites. Further research on diabetes risk in autoimmune liver disease is warranted.

Progranulin Maintains Blood Pressure and Vascular Tone Dependent on EphrinA2 and Sortilin1 Receptors and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Activation. J Am Heart Assoc 2023; 12:e030353.

Abstract
Background The mechanisms determining vascular tone are still not completely understood, even though it is a significant factor in blood pressure management. Many circulating proteins have a significant impact on controlling vascular tone. Progranulin displays anti-inflammatory effects and has been extensively studied in neurodegenerative illnesses. We investigated whether progranulin sustains the vascular tone that helps regulate blood pressure. Methods and Results We used male and female C57BL6/J wild type (progranulin+/+) and B6(Cg)-Grntm1.1Aidi/J (progranulin-/-) to understand the impact of progranulin on vascular contractility and blood pressure. We found that progranulin-/- mice display elevated blood pressure followed by hypercontractility to noradrenaline in mesenteric arteries, which is restored by supplementing the mice with recombinant progranulin. In ex vivo experiments, recombinant progranulin attenuated the vascular contractility to noradrenaline in male and female progranulin+/+ arteries, which was blunted by blocking EphrinA2 or Sortilin1. To understand the mechanisms whereby progranulin evokes anticontractile effects, we inhibited endothelial factors. N(gamma)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (nitric oxide synthase inhibitor) prevented the progranulin effects, whereas indomethacin (cyclooxygenase inhibitor) affected only the contractility in arteries incubated with vehicle, indicating that progranulin increases nitric oxide and decreases contractile prostanoids. Finally, recombinant progranulin induced endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation and nitric oxide production in isolated mesenteric endothelial cells. Conclusions Circulating progranulin regulates vascular tone and blood pressure via EphrinA2 and Sortilin1 receptors and endothelial nitric oxide synthase activation. Collectively, our data suggest that deficiency in progranulin is a cardiovascular risk factor and that progranulin might be a new therapeutic avenue to treat high blood pressure.

Abstract
Glucose-sensitive microneedle systems (GSMSs) as an intelligent strategy for treating diabetes can well solve the problems of puncture pain, hypoglycemia, skin damage, and complications caused by the subcutaneous injection of insulin. According to the various functions of each component, herein, therapeutic GSMSs are reviewed based on three parts (glucose-sensitive models, diabetes medications, and microneedle body). Moreover, the characteristics, benefits, and drawbacks of three types of typical glucose-sensitive models (phenylboronic acid based polymer, glucose oxidase, and concanavalin A) and their drug delivery models are reviewed. In particular, phenylboronic acid-based GSMSs can provide a long-acting drug dose and controlled release rate for the treatment of diabetes. Moreover, their painless, minimally invasive puncture also greatly improves patient compliance, treatment safety, and potential application prospects.

Abstract
Early disease detection and prevention methods based on effective interventions are gaining attention worldwide. Progress in precision medicine has revealed that substantial heterogeneity exists in health data at the individual level and that complex health factors are involved in chronic disease development. Machine-learning techniques have enabled precise personal-level disease prediction by capturing individual differences in multivariate data. However, it is challenging to identify what aspects should be improved for disease prevention based on future disease-onset prediction because of the complex relationships among multiple biomarkers. Here, we present a health-disease phase diagram (HDPD) that represents an individual's health state by visualizing the future-onset boundary values of multiple biomarkers that fluctuate early in the disease progression process. In HDPDs, future-onset predictions are represented by perturbing multiple biomarker values while accounting for dependencies among variables. We constructed HDPDs for 11 diseases using longitudinal health checkup cohort data of 3,238 individuals, comprising 3,215 measurement items and genetic data. The improvement of biomarker values to the non-onset region in HDPD remarkably prevented future disease onset in 7 out of 11 diseases. HDPDs can represent individual physiological states in the onset process and be used as intervention goals for disease prevention.

Abstract
Background The height from sea levels, environmental factors, human-environment interactions, and lifestyle significantly influence the lipid profile and glycemic control of a population. Objective This study aims to explore the influence of altitude on lipid profiles and glycemic control among the Saudi population at sea level and high altitude. Methods In this retrospective cross-sectional study, a large dataset of patients of both gender and over 30 years old attending internal medicine clinics from two different regions at different heights from sea level, Jeddah (sea level) and Asir region (high altitudes) and referred to commercial laboratories for glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and lipids profile. Results Compared to the Asir region, the Jeddah region had significantly higher mean values for fasting blood sugar (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) (P < 0.05). Every 1 mg/dL increase in FBG results in a 0.662 mg/dL increase in TG from the Jeddah region. However, it was a 0.318 mg/dL increase in TG from the Asir region. HbA1c demonstrated a significant (P < 0.05) strong positive correlation with TC, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and lipid ratio. FBG levels were also associated with a high level of TC/HDL-C (β = 0.137 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.11-0.21; P < 0.05), LDL-C/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (β = 0.50; 95% CI: 0.31-1.49; P < 0.05), and TG/HDL-C (β = 0.14; 95% CI = 0.12-0.15; P < 0.05) in Jeddah region. However, significantly high blood pressure was observed in the population from high altitudes. Conclusion Our results demonstrated a significant positive correlation between lipid profile and glycemic control with high prevalence at sea level.

Abstract
The burden of heart failure among people with type 2 diabetes is increasing globally. People with comorbid type 2 diabetes and heart failure often have worse outcomes than those with only one of these conditions-eg, higher hospitalisation and mortality rates. Therefore, it is essential to implement optimal heart failure prevention strategies for people with type 2 diabetes. A detailed understanding of the pathophysiology underlying the occurrence of heart failure in type 2 diabetes can aid clinicians in identifying relevant risk factors and lead to early interventions that can help prevent heart failure. In this Review, we discuss the pathophysiology and risk factors of heart failure in type 2 diabetes. We also review the risk assessment tools for predicting heart failure incidence in people with type 2 diabetes as well as the data from clinical trials that have assessed the efficacy of lifestyle and pharmacological interventions. Finally, we discuss the potential challenges in implementing new management approaches and offer pragmatic recommendations to help overcome these challenges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prevalence of CKD among T2DM patients in Africa is 22.0%. The cut-off age for dialysing diabetic patients in the resource-limited state sector in South Africa is 50 years. Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who develop CKD are likely to be excluded from chronic dialysis and rely on control of risk factors, including blood pressure and blood glucose levels, to prevent CKD progression. We aimed to determine the prevalence of CKD among T2DM patients attending the diabetes clinic at Pelonomi Academic Hospital, Bloemfontein. METHODS In this retrospective cross-sectional study, medical records of patients (January 2016 and December 2018) were reviewed to collect demographic and clinical information. RESULTS In total, 244 records were reviewed. Sixty-one (25.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 20% - 30.8%) T2DM patients had CKD. The rate of CKD was slightly higher in males (n = 24/81; 29.6%) compared with females (n = 37/163; 22.7%). Most patients with CKD (n = 58; 95.1%) were 50 years of age. Only 17.8% of patients achieved a glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.0%. Blood pressure was controlled in 14.3% of hypertensive patients. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors were used by 78.6% of patients. CONCLUSION A high prevalence of clinically significant CKD among T2DM patients with poor prospects of chronic dialysis in a resource-limited setting was observed. The risk factors for CKD development and progression should be adequately managed in T2DM patients.Contribution: This study emphasises the need for further research and innovation to improve outcomes of T2DM patients with CKD in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects the quality of life and leads to disability, high morbidity, and premature mortality. DM is a risk factor for cardiovascular, neurological, and renal diseases, and places a major burden on healthcare systems globally. Predicting the one-year mortality of patients with DM can considerably help clinicians tailor treatments to patients at risk. In this study, we aimed to show the feasibility of predicting the one-year mortality of DM patients based on administrative health data. We use clinical data for 472,950 patients that were admitted to hospitals across Kazakhstan between mid-2014 to December 2019 and were diagnosed with DM. The data was divided into four yearly-specific cohorts (2016-, 2017-, 2018-, and 2019-cohorts) to predict mortality within a specific year based on clinical and demographic information collected up to the end of the preceding year. We then develop a comprehensive machine learning platform to construct a predictive model of one-year mortality for each year-specific cohort. In particular, the study implements and compares the performance of nine classification rules for predicting the one-year mortality of DM patients. The results show that gradient-boosting ensemble learning methods perform better than other algorithms across all year-specific cohorts while achieving an area under the curve (AUC) between 0.78 and 0.80 on independent test sets. The feature importance analysis conducted by calculating SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values shows that age, duration of diabetes, hypertension, and sex are the top four most important features for predicting one-year mortality. In conclusion, the results show that it is possible to use machine learning to build accurate predictive models of one-year mortality for DM patients based on administrative health data. In the future, integrating this information with laboratory data or patients' medical history could potentially boost the performance of the predictive models.

Front Nutr 2023; 10:1198258. [PMID: 37284652 PMCID: PMC10240083 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1198258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective of the study was the evaluation of the potential pleiotropic effect of a commercial casein hydrolysate (CH). After an analysis of the composition, the BIOPEP-UWM database suggested that these peptides contained numerous sequences with potential inhibitory activities on angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP-IV). The anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive effects of these peptides were thus assessed using either cell-free or cell-based assays. In the cell-free system, CH displayed inhibitory properties against DPP-IV (IC50 value equal to 0.38 ± 0.01 mg/mL) and ACE (IC50 value equal to 0.39 ± 0.01 mg/mL). Further, CH reduced the DPP-IV and ACE activities expressed by human intestinal Caco-2 cells by 61.10 ± 1.70% and 76.90 ± 4.47%, respectively, versus untreated cells, after 6 h of treatment at the concentration of 5 mg/mL. This first demonstration of the multifunctional behavior of this material suggests that it may become an anti-diabetic and/or anti-hypertensive ingredient to be included in the formulation of different functional food or nutraceutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension, among diabetic patients, is a worldwide public-health challenge and a number one modifiable risk factor for other cardiovascular diseases and death. The prevalence of hypertension among the diabetic population is nearly twice of nondiabetic patients. Screening and prevention of risk factors for hypertension based on evidence from local studies is required to minimize the burden of hypertension among diabetic patients. This study is aimed at assessing the determinants of hypertension among diabetic patients in Wolaita Sodo University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Southern Ethiopia, 2022. METHODS Facility-based unmatched case-control study design was conducted from March 15 to April 15, 2022, at the outpatient diabetic clinic, Wolaita Sodo University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. A total of 345 diabetic patients were selected using systematic random sampling techniques. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire by interviewing and extracting from the medical chart of patients. Bivariate logistic regression followed by multiple logistic analysis was used to identify the determinants of hypertension among diabetic patients. A p-value less than 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS The significant determinants of hypertension among diabetes patients were being overweight [AOR = 2.06, 95% CI (1.1, 3.89), P = 0.025], being obese [AOR = 2.64, 95% CI (1.22, 5.70), P = 0.013], lack of Moderate intensity exercise [AOR = 2.41, 95% CI (1.36,4.24), P = 0.002], age [AOR = 1.03, 95% CI (1.01, 1.06), P = 0.011], Type 2 diabetes mellitus [AOR = 5.05, 95% CI (1.28, 19.88), P = 0.021], duration of diabetes mellitus ≥ 6 years [AOR = 7.47, 95% CI (2.02, 27.57), P = 0.003], diabetic nephropathy [AOR = 3.87, 95% CI (1.13, 13.29), P = 0.032], and urban residence [AOR = 2.11, 95% CI (1.04,4.29), P = 0.04]. CONCLUSION Being overweight and obese, lack of moderate-intensity exercise, age, type 2 diabetes mellitus, duration of Diabetes ≥ 6 years, presence of diabetic nephropathy, and being urban residents were significant determinants of hypertension among diabetic patients. These risk factors can be targeted by health professionals for prevention and earlier detection of hypertension among diabetic patients.

Abstract
Hypertension (HTN) is a potential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to determine the prevalence, awareness, and control of HTN among RTA personnel in Thailand. We conducted a series of cross-sectional studies from 2017 to 2021. HTN was defined by systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥ 140 mmHg or a diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg from a physical health examination, a history of HTN diagnosed by medical personnel, or taking antihypertensive medication. A total of 504,484 participants were included in the present study. The overall HTN prevalence was 29.4%. The prevalence of HTN among males was 30.5%, while it was 17.1% among females. Of the RTA personnel with HTN, 35.9% were aware of their condition. The overall control of HTN among RTA personnel with HTN was 15.8% in 2017 and 17.6% in 2021. Behavioral factors associated with HTN were current smoking, alcohol consumption, and sedentary behavior. A higher BMI was associated with higher HTN prevalence and HTN awareness but less likely to have controllable HTN. Male participants, younger individuals, current alcohol use, and sedentary behavior were associated with a lower prevalence of HTN awareness and controlled HTN. Current tobacco use was also associated with a lower prevalence of HTN awareness.

Abstract
Squalene has been tested widely in pharmacological activity including anticancer, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties. This study aims to examine antidiabetic activity of squalene in silico and in vivo models. In the in silico model, the PASS server was used to evaluate squalene antidiabetic properties. Meanwhile, the in vivo model was conducted on a Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with the rats separated into three groups. These include squalene (160 mg/kgbw), metformin (45 mg/kgbw), and diabetic control (DC) (aquades 10 mL/kgbw) administered once daily for 14 days. Fasting Blood Glucose Level (FBGL), Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPPIV), leptin, and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity were measured to analysis antidiabetic and antioxidant activity. Additionally, the pancreas was analysed through histopathology to examine the islet cell. The results showed that in silico analysis supported squalene antidiabetic potential. In vivo experiment demonstrated that squalene decreased FBGL levels to 134.40 ± 16.95 mg/dL. The highest DPPIV level was in diabetic control- (61.26 ± 15.06 ng/mL), while squalene group showed the lowest level (44.09 ± 5.29 ng/mL). Both metformin and squalene groups showed minor pancreatic rupture on histopathology. Leptin levels were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in diabetic control group (15.39 ± 1.77 ng/mL) than both squalene- (13.86 ± 0.47 ng/mL) and metformin-treated groups (9.22 ± 0.84 ng/mL). SOD activity were higher in both squalene- and metformin-treated group, particularly 22.42 ± 0.27 U/mL and 22.81 ± 0.08 U/mL than in diabetic control (21.88 ± 0.97 U/mL). In conclusion, in silico and in vivo experiments provide evidence of squalene antidiabetic and antioxidant properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Observational studies demonstrated a bidirectional association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension, whereas Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses supported the causality from T2D to hypertension but not causal from hypertension to T2D. We previously found that IgG N-glycosylation is associated with both T2D and hypertension, and thus IgG N-glycosylation might link the causality between them. METHODS We carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify IgG N-glycosylation-quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) integrating GWAS for T2D and hypertension and then performed bidirectional univariable and multivariable MR analyses to infer the causal association among them. The inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) analysis was performed as the primary analysis, followed by some sensitivity analyses to explore the stability of the results. RESULTS Six putatively causal IgG N-glycans for T2D and four for hypertension were identified in the IVW method. Genetically predicted T2D increased the risk of hypertension (odds ratio [OR] = 1.177, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 1.037-1.338, P = 0.012) and vice versa (OR = 1.391, 95% CI = 1.081-1.790, P = 0.010). Multivariable MR showed that T2D remained at risk effect with hypertension ([OR] = 1.229, 95% CI = 1.140-1.325, P = 7.817 × 10-8) after conditioning on T2D-related IgG-glycans. Conversely, hypertension was associated with higher T2D risk (OR = 1.287, 95% CI = 1.107-1.497, P = 0.001) after adjusting for related IgG-glycans. No evidence of horizontal pleiotropy was observed, as MR‒Egger regression provided P values for intercept > 0.05. CONCLUSION Our study validated the mutual causality between T2D and hypertension from the perspective of IgG N-glycosylation, further validating the "common soil" hypothesis underlying the pathogenesis of T2D and hypertension.

Abstract
People impacted by disasters may have adverse non-communicable disease health effects associated with the disaster. This research examined the independent and joint impacts of federally declared disasters on the diagnosis of hypertension (HTN), diabetes (DM), anxiety, and medication changes 6 months before and after a disaster. Patients seen in zip codes that received a federal disaster declaration for Hurricanes Gustave or Ike in 2008 and who had electronic health records captured by MarketScan® were analyzed. The analysis included patients seen 6 months before or after Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008 and who were diagnosed with HTN, DM, or anxiety. There was a statistically significant association between post-disaster and diagnosis of hypertension, X2 (1, n = 19,328) = 3.985, p = 0.04. There was no association post-disaster and diabetes X2 (1, n = 19,328) = 0.778, p = 0.378 or anxiety, X2 (1, n = 19,328) = 0.017, p = 0.898. The research showed that there was a change in the diagnosis of HTN after a disaster. Changes in HTN are an additional important consideration for clinicians in disaster-prone areas. Data about non-communicable diseases help healthcare disaster planners to include primary care needs and providers in the plans to prevent the long-term health impacts of disasters and expedite recovery efforts.

Longer time in blood pressure target range improves cardiovascular outcomes among patients with Type 2 diabetes: A secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2023; 198:110600. [PMID: 36858262 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2023.110600] [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: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To examine the prognostic value of time in target range (TIR) with adverse outcomes and validate it with common blood pressure (BP) metrics among patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS We performed a post hoc analysis of the ACCORD (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes) trial. TIR for each subject was calculated using linear interpolation and an SBP target range of 110 to 130 mmHg. Cox models were used to assess the association of TIR and other BP metrics with the rate of clinical outcomes. RESULTS A higher TIR (61.9-100.0 %) was associated with a 46 % reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (hazard ratio [HR]:0.54; 95 % CI: 0.43, 0.67) compared with TIR 0-22.9 %. Results were similar for stroke (0.19; 0.10, 0.36), myocardial infarction (0.67; 0.51, 0.89), heart failure (0.47; 0.33, 0.66), cardiovascular death (0.63; 0.42, 0.93) and all-cause mortality (0.70; 0.54, 0.91). Further analyses suggested a curvilinear association of TIR with MACE, and this association was independent with baseline, final SBP, mean SBP, or visit-to-visit SBP variability. CONCLUSIONS Longer TIR is associated with lower cardiovascular risk and may add value as an outcome measure for hypertension control studies among patients with diabetes.

Systolic blood pressure reduction with tirzepatide in patients with type 2 diabetes: insights from SURPASS clinical program. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:66. [PMID: 36964557 PMCID: PMC10039543 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01797-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tirzepatide, a once-weekly glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/ glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is approved in the United States, Europe and Japan for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Across the SURPASS-1 to -5 clinical studies, tirzepatide 5, 10 and 15 mg demonstrated significant improvements in glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (- 1.9 to - 2.6%), body weight (- 6.6 to - 13.9%) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (- 2.8 to - 12.6 mmHg) at the end of study treatment. METHODS Post-hoc mediation analyses were conducted to evaluate weight-loss dependent and weight-loss independent effects of tirzepatide on SBP reductions across the 5 SURPASS studies. The safety population (all randomized patients who took at least 1 dose of study drug) of each study was analyzed. Additional analyses were conducted at individual study level or pooled across 5 SURPASS trials. RESULTS The difference in mean SBP change from baseline at 40 weeks (total effect) between the tirzepatide and comparator groups was - 1.3 to - 5.1 mmHg (tirzepatide 5 mg), - 1.7 to - 6.5 mmHg (tirzepatide 10 mg) and - 3.1 to - 11.5 mmHg (tirzepatide 15 mg). These SBP reductions were primarily mediated through weight loss, with different degrees of contributions from weight-loss independent effects across the different trials. In the SURPASS-4 study, which enrolled patients with established cardiovascular disease, weight-loss independent effects explained 33% to 57% of difference in SBP change between tirzepatide and insulin glargine groups. In a pooled analysis of the SURPASS-1 to -5 studies, there was a significant (p < 0.001) but weak correlation (r = 0.18 to 0.22) between change in body weight and SBP. Reductions in SBP with tirzepatide were not dependent on concomitant antihypertensive medications at baseline as similar reductions were observed whether participants were receiving them or not (interaction p = 0.77). The largest SBP reductions were observed in the highest baseline category (> 140 mmHg), while those in the first quartile of baseline SBP category (< 122 mmHg) observed no further decrease in SBP. CONCLUSIONS Tirzepatide-induced SBP reduction was primarily mediated through weight loss, with different degrees of contributions from weight-loss independent effects across the different trials. SBP reduction was not dependent on antihypertensive medication use but dependent on baseline SBP value, alleviating theoretical concerns of hypotension.

Abstract
AIM Hypertension increases complication risk in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We examined blood pressure (BP) in adolescents and young adults with T1D from the Australasian Diabetes Data Network, a prospective clinical diabetes registry in Australia and New Zealand. METHODS This was a longitudinal study of prospectively collected registry data. INCLUSION CRITERIA T1D (duration ≥ 1 year) and age 16-25 years at last visit (2011-2020). Hypertension was defined as (on ≥ 3 occasions) systolic BP and/or diastolic BP > 95th percentile for age < 18 years, and systolic BP > 130 and/or diastolic BP > 80 mmHg for age ≥ 18 years. Multivariable Generalised Estimating Equations were used to examine demographic and clinical factors associated with BP in the hypertensive range across all visits. RESULTS Data from 6338 young people (male 52.6%) attending 24 participating centres across 36,655 T1D healthcare visits were included; 2812 (44.4%) had BP recorded at last visit. Across all visits, 19.4% of youth aged < 18 years and 21.7% of those aged ≥ 18 years met criteria for hypertension. In both age groups, BP in the hypertensive range was associated with male sex, injection (vs. pump) therapy, higher HbA1c, and higher body mass index. CONCLUSIONS There is a high proportion of adolescents and young adults reported with BP persistently in hypertensive ranges. Findings flag the additive contribution of hypertension to the well-established body of evidence indicating a need to review healthcare models for adolescents and young adults with T1D.

Clinical Features of Diabetes Mellitus on Rheumatoid Arthritis: Data from the Cardiovascular Obesity and Rheumatic DISease (CORDIS) Study Group. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12062148.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are linked by underlying inflammation influencing their development and progression. Nevertheless, the profile of diabetic RA patients and the impact of DM on RA need to be elucidated. This cross-sectional study includes 1523 patients with RA and no episodes of cardiovascular events, followed up in 10 Italian University Rheumatologic Centers between 1 January and 31 December 2019 belonging to the “Cardiovascular Obesity and Rheumatic DISease (CORDIS)” Study Group of the Italian Society of Rheumatology. The demographic and clinical features of DM RA patients were compared to non-diabetic ones evaluating factors associated with increased risk of DM. Overall, 9.3% of the RA patients had DM, and DM type 2 was more common (90.2%). DM patients were significantly older (p < 0.001), more frequently male (p = 0.017), with a significantly higher BMI and mean weight (p < 0.001) compared to non-diabetic patients. DM patients were less likely to be on glucocorticoids (p < 0.001), with a trend towards a more frequent use of b/ts DMARDs (p = 0.08), and demonstrated higher HAQ (p = 0.001). In around 42% of patients (n = 114), DM diagnosis preceded that of RA. Treatment lines were identical in diabetic and non-diabetic RA patients. DM is a comorbidity that may influence RA management and outcome. The association between DM and RA supports the theory of systemic inflammation as a condition underlying the development of both diseases. DM may not have a substantial impact on bDMARDs resistance, although further investigation is required to clarify the implications of biological therapy resistance in RA patients.
