Nutr Metab (Lond) 2024; 21:38. [PMID: 38937762 PMCID: PMC11212352 DOI: 10.1186/s12986-024-00821-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM We aimed to explore the associations of baseline and cumulative cardiovascular health with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) development and regression using the new Life's Essential 8 score. METHODS From a health screening database, participants who underwent at least 4 health examinations between 2012 and 2022 were recruited and categorized into two cohorts: (a) the NAFLD development cohort with no history of NAFLD prior to Exam 4 and (b) the NAFLD regression cohort with diagnosed NAFLD prior to Exam 4. The LE8 score was calculated from each component. The outcomes were defined as newly incident NAFLD or regression of existing NAFLD from Exam 4 to the end of follow-up. RESULTS In the NAFLD development cohort, of 21,844 participants, 3,510 experienced incident NAFLD over a median follow-up of 2.3 years. Compared with the lowest quartile of cumulative LE8, individuals in the highest quartile conferred statistically significant 76% lower odds (hazard ratio [HR] 0.24, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.21-0.28) of NAFLD incidence, and corresponding values for baseline LE8 were 42% (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.53-0.65). In the NAFLD regression cohort, of 6,566 participants, 469 experienced NAFLD regression over a median follow-up of 2.4 years. Subjects with the highest quartile of cumulative LE8 had 2.03-fold (95% CI, 1.51-2.74) higher odds of NAFLD regression, and corresponding values for baseline LE8 were 1.61-fold (95% CI, 1.24-2.10). CONCLUSION Cumulative ideal cardiovascular health exposure is associated with reduced NAFLD development and increased NAFLD regression. Improving and preserving health behaviors and factors should be emphasized as an important part of NAFLD prevention and intervention strategies.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Recent decades have seen the remarkable development of China in medical accessibility and quality index, and the application of a number of new advanced cardiovascular technologies benefits more patients. However, according to the Annual Report on Cardiovascular Health and Diseases in China published in this article, which was organized and summarized by National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, there is still a huge population living with risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and the morbidity and mortality of CVD are increasing. It is estimated that there are around 330 million patients suffering from CVD currently, including 245 million of hypertension, 13 million of stroke, 45.3 million of peripheral artery disease, 11.39 million of coronary heart disease (CHD), 8.9 million of heart failure, 5 million of pulmonary heart disease, 4.87 million of atrial fibrillation, 2.5 million of rheumatic heart disease, and 2 million of congenital heart disease. Tobacco use, diet and nutrition factors, physical activity, overweight and obesity, and psychological factors are what affect cardiovascular health, while hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, metabolic syndrome, and air pollution are the risk factors for CVD. In this article, in addition to risk factors for CVD, we also report the epidemiological trends of CVD, including CHD, cerebrovascular disease, arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, pulmonary vascular disease and venous thromboembolism, and aortic and peripheral artery diseases, as well as the basic research and medical device development in CVD. In a word, China has entered a new stage of transforming from high-speed development focusing on scale growth to high-quality development emphasizing on strategic and key technological development to curb the trend of increasing incidence and mortality of CVD.

Metabolic health phenotype better predicts subclinical atherosclerosis than body mass index-based obesity phenotype in the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease population. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1104859. [PMID: 37794971 PMCID: PMC10546180 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1104859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), especially lean NAFLD is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is not currently known which clinical phenotypes of NAFLD contribute most to individual subclinical atherosclerosis risk. We examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI), the metabolically healthy status, and subclinical atherosclerosis in the NAFLD population. Methods Data from asymptomatic NAFLD subjects who participated in a routine health check-up examination were collected. Participants were stratified by BMI (cutoff values: 24.0-27.9 kg/m2 for overweight and ≥28.0 kg/m2 for obesity) and metabolic status, which was defined by Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Subclinical atherosclerosis was evaluated by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in 27,738 participants and by carotid plaque in 14,323 participants. Results Within each BMI strata, metabolically unhealthy subjects had a significantly higher prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis than metabolically healthy subjects, whereas fewer differences were observed across subjects within the same metabolic category. When BMI and metabolic status were assessed together, a metabolically unhealthy status was the main contributor to the association of clinical phenotypes with the subclinical atherosclerosis burden (all p < 0.001). When BMI and metabolic abnormalities were assessed separately, the incidence of subclinical disease did not increase across BMI categories; however, it increased with an increase in the number of metabolic abnormalities (0, 1, 2 and ≥3). Conclusion A metabolically healthy status in NAFLD patients was closely correlated with subclinical atherosclerosis, beyond that of the BMI-based obesity phenotype. The application of metabolic phenotyping strategies could enable more precise classification in evaluating cardiovascular risk in NAFLD.

Dietary diversity, physical activity and depressive symptoms among middle-aged women: A cross-sectional study of 48,637 women in China. J Affect Disord 2023; 321:147-152. [PMID: 36330900 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2022.10.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Revised: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depression is the leading cause of mental health-related disease burden. This study aimed to investigate the relationship among dietary diversity, physical activity and depressive symptoms in middle-aged women. METHOD Based on the WHO guidelines on physical activity, subjects who meet moderate-intensity aerobic physical exercise of 150-300 min per week were qualified or otherwise unqualified. The dietary diversity scores (DDS) were developed according to the balanced diet pagoda and assessed the consumption of nine food groups. The total scores ranged from 0 to 9 and could divide into three levels: insufficient [DDS-1] (score of 1-5), moderate [DDS-2] (score of 6-7), and sufficient [DDS-3] (score of 8-9). RESULTS An age at menarche ≥12 years old (OR = 0.94; 95 % CI: 0.89-1.00; p < 0.05), a higher dietary diversity score [DDS-3] (OR = 0.59; 95 % CI: 0.55-0.63; p < 0.001), drinking coffee (OR = 0.88; 95 % CI: 0.84-0.92; p < 0.001), and qualified physical activity (OR = 0.69; 95 % CI: 0.66-0.72; p < 0.001) were protective factors for depressive symptoms, while an age at first birth ≤20 years old (OR = 1.23; 95 % CI: 1.12-1.36; p < 0.001) or ≥30 years old (OR = 1.18; 95 % CI: 1.11-1.26; p < 0.001), eating late-night snacks (OR = 1.44; 95 % CI: 1.36-1.52; p < 0.001), drinking sugar-sweetened beverages (OR = 1.15; 95 % CI: 1.06-1.24; p < 0.001), and overeating (OR = 2.30; 95 % CI: 2.069-2.56; p < 0.001) were risk factors. CONCLUSION This study suggested that dietary diversity and physical activity are associated with depressive symptoms in middle-aged women. To improve dietary diversity, attention should be given to dietary patterns and dietary habits, instead of simply increasing the amount of food.

Abstract
Objectives Given the significance of dietary factors in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate the association of NAFLD with salt intake and dietary diversity in a medical examination population aged 18–59 years. Methods Data from two Chinese health management centers were utilized between January 2017 and December 2019. The general information, laboratory tests, lifestyle habits, and diet of the participants were all evaluated. Based on alcohol consumption and abdominal ultrasound results, a total of 23,867 participants were divided into the NAFLD (n = 7,753) and control (n = 16,114) groups. Salt intake and dietary diversity were calculated separately for study participants using the spot urine method and dietary diversity scores (DDS). The multilevel logistic model and subgroup analysis were used to analyze the relationship between salt intake, dietary diversity, and NAFLD. Results We found that the prevalence of NAFLD was 32.48%. Salt intake was associated with increased NAFLD (Q2 vs. Q1: OR = 1.201, 95% CI 1.094-1.317, P < 0.001; Q3 vs. Q1: OR = 1.442, 95% CI 1.316-1.580, P < 0.001; Q4 vs. Q1: OR = 1.604, 95% CI 1.465-1.757, P < 0.001), whereas sufficient dietary diversity was a protective factor for NAFLD (Sufficient DDS vs. Insufficient DDS: OR: 0.706, 95% CI 0.517-0.965, P < 0.05). The effects of salt intake and dietary diversity on NAFLD were equally stable in the subgroup analysis. Conclusions We can conclude that NAFLD is highly prevalent in medical examination adults aged 18-59 years in China. Furthermore, the risk of salt intake for NAFLD and the protective effect of dietary diversity on NAFLD should be taken into account in the management of NAFLD.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:908020. [PMID: 35811709 PMCID: PMC9263190 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.908020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate associations between visceral adiposity index (VAI) and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCDs) in the American population from 1999 to 2018.MethodsData from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1998–2018) were analyzed in this study. Specifically, VAI scores were calculated using sex-specific equations that incorporate body mass index, waist circumference (WC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides (TG), and cholesterol. Weighted logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between VAI tertile and increased risk of CCDs. Restricted cubic splines were used to evaluate the non-linear relationship between VAI and CCDs, such as heart failure, angina, heart attack, stroke, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. Sensitivity analysis was conducted, using VAI quartiles as independent variables.ResultsA total of 22,622 subjects aged over 20 years were included. In the fully adjusted model after controlling for covariates, the third VAI tertile was more strongly associated with CCDs than the first VAI tertile, with odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) values for angina of 2.86, 1.68–4.85; heart attack, 1.75, 1.14–2.69; stroke, 2.01, 1.23–3.26; hypertension, 2.28, 1.86–2.78; and coronary heart disease, 1.78, 1.32–2.41; but there was no significant association with heart failure (p > 0.05). Restricted cubic splines revealed parabolic relationships between VAI score and angina (p for non-linear = 0.03), coronary heart disease (p for non-linear = 0.01), and hypertension (p for non-linear < 0.001). Sensitivity analysis indicated that the fourth VAI quartile was more strongly associated with an increased risk of angina (OR = 2.92, 95% CI, 1.49–5.69), hypertension (OR = 2.37, 95% CI, 1.90–2.97), heart attack (OR = 1.77, 95% CI, 1.09–2.88), and coronary heart disease (OR = 1.89, 95% CI, 1.24–2.86) than the first VAI quartile. VAI had superior predictive power for prevalent CCDs than other independent indicators (p < 0.05).ConclusionVisceral adiposity index score is positively correlated with angina, heart attack, stroke, hypertension, and coronary heart disease, but not heart failure, and the relationships between VAI score and angina, hypertension, and coronary heart disease are non-linear.
