Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Anti-inflammatory trials have shown considerable benefits for cardiovascular disease. High neutrophil counts, an easily accessible inflammation biomarker, are associated with atherosclerosis in experimental studies. This study aimed to investigate the associations between neutrophil counts and risk of nine cardiovascular endpoints using observational and genetic approaches. METHODS Observational studies were conducted in the Copenhagen General Population Study (n = 101 730). Genetic studies were firstly performed using one-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) with individual-level data from the UK Biobank (n = 365 913); secondly, two-sample MR analyses were performed using summary-level data from the Blood Cell Consortium (n = 563 085). Outcomes included ischaemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, peripheral arterial disease, ischaemic cerebrovascular disease, ischaemic stroke, vascular-related dementia, vascular dementia, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. RESULTS Observational analyses showed associations between high neutrophil counts with high risks of all outcomes. In the UK Biobank, odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) per 1-SD higher genetically predicted neutrophil counts were 1.15 (1.08, 1.21) for ischaemic heart disease, 1.22 (1.12, 1.34) for myocardial infarction, and 1.19 (1.04, 1.36) for peripheral arterial disease; similar results were observed in men and women separately. In two-sample MR, corresponding estimates were 1.14 (1.05, 1.23) for ischaemic heart disease and 1.11 (1.02, 1.20) for myocardial infarction; multiple sensitivity analyses showed consistent results. No robust associations in two-sample MR analyses were found for other types of leucocytes. CONCLUSIONS Observational and genetically determined high neutrophil counts were associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, supporting that high blood neutrophil counts is a causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy. The study aimed to evaluate the association and the predictive value of inflammatory indicators in RVO. Sixty patients with RVO and 60 healthy individuals were enrolled in this retrospective study. Inflammatory indicators and other hematological parameters obtained from the peripheral venous sample were analyzed and compared among groups. White blood cell count (P = .003), neutrophil (P < .001), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (P < .001), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) (P < .001), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (P = .014), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) (P < .001), and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) (P < .001) were significantly higher; the lymphocyte count (P < .001) was significantly lower in patients with RVO. According to receiver operating characteristic analysis, NLR was significant at the good level (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.817, P < .001); SIRI, SII, and MLR were significant at the fair level (AUC = 0.774, P < .001; AUC = 0.733, P < .001, and AUC = 0.724, P < .001, respectively) and PLR (AUC = 0.630, P = .014) was significant at the weak level in terms of RVO prediction. SIRI was superior to other indicators, except NLR, to predict RVO. SIRI, NLR, SII, MLR, and PLR can be used as predictors for identifying the risk of RVO.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a group of metabolic abnormalities characterised by central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and dysregulation of blood glucose, which is associated with the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and overall mortality. White blood cell count is a selective marker of acute infection and inflammation, which could provide information on the metabolic status of subjects. This study aims to provide the best evidence on the association between MetS and white blood cell count by determining the effect size of this biomarker. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies indexed in the PubMed and Scopus databases were performed. Methodological quality was assessed using the STROBE tool, overall risk of bias using RevMan (Cochrane Collaboration), and quality of evidence using Grade Pro. Results: We included 14 articles comparing leukocyte concentrations in 21,005 subjects with MetS and 66,339 controls. Subjects with MetS had a higher mean leukocyte count, 0.64 cells ×109/L; CI95% 0.55-0.72; p < 0.00001; I2 = 93%. Conclusions: An in-depth evaluation of the relationship of leukocytes in the pathophysiological process of MetS could lead to new insights into early diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES One of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease is obesity, particularly abdominal and visceral obesity. Another concern for it is inflammation. Both risk factors are interrelated as obesity is a state of subacute low-grade systemic inflammation. As neck circumference and waist-hip ratio are potential indicators of obesity, we wanted to compare the level of total leukocyte count in subjects with normal and high neck circumference and waist-hip ratio. We also wanted to observe whether there is any correlation between neck circumference and waist-hip ratio with total leukocyte count. METHODS We selected 62 subjects (30 males, and 32 females) for the study. Both males and females were categorized into groups of normal and high neck circumference and waist-hip ratios. The total leukocyte count was compared among the groups and we correlated neck circumference and waist-hip ratios with total leukocyte count. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS version 23.0. RESULTS We observed a statistically significant higher value of total leukocyte count in males with a high waist-hip ratio. But there was not a significant increase in TLC in males with high neck circumference. In females, the values were insignificant. On Pearson correlation, there was a negative correlation between neck circumference, waist-hip ratio, and total leukocyte count in both genders which is not significant. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that waist-hip ratio rather than neck circumference might be a proxy measure of a marker of inflammation in males.

Associations of Combined Lifestyle Factors with MAFLD and the Specific Subtypes in Middle-Aged and Elderly Adults: The Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort Study. Nutrients 2023; 15:4588. [PMID: 37960242 PMCID: PMC10650607 DOI: 10.3390/nu15214588] [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: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the crucial pathogenesis for intra-hepatic and extra-hepatic diseases, especially in elderly adults. Lifestyle management may be a modifiable cost-effective measure for MAFLD prevention, but the evidence is limited. A total of 23,408 middle-aged and elderly individuals were included in a longitudinal study from 2008 to 2018. Combined lifestyle scores (range 0-6) were evaluated by BMI, smoking, drinking, diet, physical activity, and sleep. Logistic regression models were used to calculate ORs for the risks of MAFLD and specific subtypes. The mean age of participants was 61.7 years, and 44.5% were men. Compared with poor lifestyle (scores 0-2), ORs (95% CIs) of the ideal lifestyle (scores 5-6) were 0.62 (0.57-0.68) for MAFLD, 0.31 (0.28-0.34) for MAFLD with excess weight and obesity, 0.97 (0.75-1.26) for MAFLD with diabetes, and 0.56 (0.51-0.62) for MAFLD with metabolic dysregulation. Additionally, lifestyle improvement was associated with lower risks of MAFLD (OR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.68-0.86), MAFLD with excess weight and obesity (OR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.63-0.81), MAFLD with diabetes (OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.54-1.02) and MAFLD with metabolic dysregulation (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.43-0.55), respectively. Our findings suggest that adherence to a combined healthy lifestyle was associated with lower risks of MAFLD, particularly in excess weight/obese individuals or those with metabolic dysregulation.

Abstract
AIMS To examine the trajectory of white blood cell (WBC) and their potential impacts on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality (ACM) risks. METHODS This prospective cohort included 61,666 participants without CVD on or before June 1, 2012. Latent mixture modeling was used to identify WBC trajectories in 2006-2012 as predictors of CVD and ACM. Incident CVD and ACM in 2012-2019 were the outcomes. Cox proportional hazards models were fitted to analyze the risks of incident CVD and ACM. RESULTS According to WBC ranges and dynamics, five distinct WBC trajectories were identified: low-stable (n=18,432), moderate-stable (n=26,656), elevated-stable (n=3,153), moderate-increasing (n=11,622), and elevated-decreasing (n=1,803). During 6.65±0.83 years of follow-up, we documented 3773 incident CVD cases and 3304 deaths. Relative to the low-stable pattern, the moderate-increasing pattern was predictive of an elevated risk of CVD (HR=1.36, 95% CI: 1.24-1.50), especially acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (HR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.46-2.51), while the elevated-stable pattern was predictive of an elevated risk of ACM (HR=1.77, 95% CI: 1.52-2.06). Among participants with hs-CRP <2 mg/L or ≥2 mg/L, similar associations were observed between the moderate-increasing pattern with CVD (HR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.24-1.61) and ACM (HR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.18-2.01, HR=1.89, 95% CI: 1.57-2.29, respectively). CONCLUSIONS We found that distinct WBC trajectories were differentially associated with CVD and ACM risks in Chinese adults.

Bedtime, sleep pattern, and incident cardiovascular disease in middle-aged and older Chinese adults: The dongfeng-tongji cohort study. Sleep Med 2023; 110:82-88. [PMID: 37544277 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2023.08.002] [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: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the associations of bedtime and a low-risk sleep pattern with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS A total of 31,500 retirees were included from the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort in 2008-2010 and 2013. Sleep information was collected by questionnaires. CVD events were identified through the health care system until December 31, 2018. Cox proportional hazards regression models were performed to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS During an average follow-up of 7.2 years, 8324 cases of incident CVD, including 6557 coronary heart disease (CHD) and 1767 stroke, were documented. U-shaped associations of bedtime with the risks of incident CVD and stroke were observed. Compared with bedtime between 10:01 p.m.-11:00 p.m., the HR (95% CI) for CVD was 1.10 (1.01-1.20) for ≤9:00 p.m., 1.07 (1.01-1.13) for 9:01 p.m.-10:00 p.m., and 1.32 (1.11-1.58) for >12:00 a.m., respectively, mainly driven by stroke risk (22%, 14%, and 70% higher for ≤9:00 p.m., 9:01 p.m.-10:00 p.m., and >12:00 a.m., respectively). The number of low-risk sleep factors, namely bedtime between 10:01 p.m.-12:00 a.m., sleep duration of 7-< 8 h/night, good/fair sleep quality, and midday napping ≤60 min, exhibited dose-dependent relationships with CVD, CHD, and stroke risks. Participants with 4 low-risk sleep factors had a respective 24%, 21%, and 30% lower risk of CVD, CHD, and stroke than those with 0-1 low-risk sleep factor. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with early or late bedtimes had a higher CVD risk, especially stroke. Having low-risk sleep habits is associated with lower CVD risks.

Shi X, Qu M, Jiang Y, Zhu Z, Dai C, Jiang M, Ding L, Yan Y, Wang C, Zhang X, Cheng S, Hao X. Association of immune cell composition with the risk factors and incidence of acute coronary syndrome. Clin Epigenetics 2023; 15:115. [PMID: 37461090 PMCID: PMC10353119 DOI: 10.1186/s13148-023-01527-4] [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: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although immune cells are involved in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), few studies have explored the association of incident ACS with the relative immune cell proportions. We aimed to investigate the association of immune cell proportions with the incidence and risk factors of ACS in the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort. METHODS We conducted the analyses with 38,295 subjects from the first follow-up of the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort, including DNA methylation profiles for 1570 individuals. The proportions of immune cell types were observed from routine blood tests or estimated from DNA methylation profiles. For both observed and estimated immune cell proportions, we tested their associations with risk factors of ACS by multivariable linear regression models. In addition, the association of each immune cell proportion with incident ACS was assessed by the Cox regression model and conditional logistic regression model, respectively, adjusting for the risk factors of ACS. FINDINGS The proportions of lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils showed strong associations with sex, followed by diabetes. Moreover, sex and current smoking were the two factors with strongest association with the proportions of lymphocyte subtypes. The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of incident ACS per standard deviation (SD) increase in proportions of lymphocytes and neutrophils were 0.91 (0.85-0.96) and 1.10 (1.03-1.16), respectively. Furthermore, the OR (95% CI) of incident ACS per SD increase in proportions of NK cells, CD4+ T cells, and B cells were 0.88 (0.78-0.99), 1.15 (1.03-1.30), and 1.13 (1.00-1.26), respectively. INTERPRETATION The proportions of immune cells were associated with several risk factors of ACS, including sex, diabetes, and current smoking. In addition, proportion of neutrophils had a risk effect, while proportion of lymphocytes had a protective effect on the incidence of ACS. The protective effect of lymphocytes was probably driven by NK cells.

Nomograms for Predicting Coexisting Cardiovascular Disease and Prognosis in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Study Based on NHANES Data. Can Respir J 2022; 2022:5618376. [PMID: 35721788 PMCID: PMC9203208 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5618376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic disease. Progression is further exacerbated by the coexistence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aim to construct a diagnostic nomogram for predicting the risk of coexisting CVD and a prognostic nomogram for predicting long-term survival in COPD. Methods The 540 eligible participants selected from the NHANES 2005-2010 were included in this study. Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a diagnostic nomogram for the diagnosis of coexisting CVD in COPD. Cox regression analyses were used to construct a prognostic nomogram for COPD. A risk stratification system was developed based on the total score generated from the prognostic nomogram. We used C-index and ROC curves to evaluate the discriminant ability of the newly built nomograms. The models were also validated utilizing calibration curves. Survival curves were made using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the Log-rank test. Results Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, neutrophil, RDW, LDH, and HbA1c were independent predictors of coexisting CVD and were included in the diagnostic model. Cox regression analysis indicated that CVD, gender, age, BMI, RDW, albumin, LDH, creatinine, and NLR were independent predictors of COPD prognosis and were incorporated into the prognostic model. The C-index and ROC curves revealed the good discrimination abilities of the models. And the calibration curves implied that the predicted values by the nomograms were in good agreement with the actual observed values. In addition, we found that coexisting with CVD had a worse prognosis compared to those without CVD, and the prognosis of the low-risk group was better than that of the high-risk group in COPD. Conclusions The nomograms we developed can help clinicians and patients to identify COPD coexisting CVD early and predict the 5-year and 10-year survival rates of COPD patients, which has some clinical practical values.
