Abstract
Nutrition can play a key role in cardiovascular disease risk reduction, and its risk factors modification. This paper aims to present, compare, and summarize the main dietary concepts for preventing the main cardiovascular disease risk factors - obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The dietary models and macronutrient intakes were compared between main cardiovascular risk factors prevention recommendations. Dietary recommendations related to selected cardiovascular risk factors share the points, that can be suggested as crucial for overall cardiovascular risk factors reduction. Recommendations suggest limiting saturated fatty acids intake to <10% of total caloric intake in obesity, and <7 % in hypercholesterolemia, along with an increased intake of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition, daily dietary fiber intake should reach a level of 25-40 g. The vegetables and fruits should be consumed at a daily minimum level of 200g (or 4-5 portions) each. Salt intake should not exceed 5g/day. Alcohol should be generally avoided, and moderate intake levels (sex-specific) should not be exceeded. It is also worth noting, that proteins are essential for tissue formation and regeneration. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy, but it is necessary to choose products with a low glycemic index. Dietary antioxidants help combat free radicals and prevent cell damage.

Overlap between Osteosarcopenia and Frailty and their Association with Poor Health Conditions: The Bushehr Elderly Health Program. Ann Geriatr Med Res 2024; 28:219-227. [PMID: 38584427 PMCID: PMC11217651 DOI: 10.4235/agmr.23.0220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the association of osteosarcopenia with frailty and poor health conditions among older Iranian adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the Bushehr Elderly Health Program. Osteosarcopenia was defined as the presence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia, while the Fried criteria were used to assess frailty. We assessed the history of falls and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), including physical and mental component summaries (PCS and MCS, respectively), history of fractures, activities of daily living (ADL), and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), as indicators of poor health conditions. RESULTS This study included a total of 2,371 older adults. The prevalence rates of osteosarcopenia-only, frailty-only, and osteosarcopenia with frailty were 17.4%, 3%, and 4.8%, respectively. The prevalence of a history of falls, poor ADL, and poor IADL was significantly higher in the frailty-only and osteosarcopenia with frailty groups. Osteosarcopenia with frailty was significantly associated with a history of falls (adjusted odds ratio [adjOR]=1.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.20-3.15), poor ADL (adjOR=2.85; 95% CI, 1.81-4.50), and poor IADL (adjOR=5.09; 95% CI, 2.85-9.11). However, the frailty-only group also showed an association with falls and poor ADL and IADL. Only osteosarcopenia was associated with an increased OR for fracture. Frailty had the greatest effect on the MCS and PCS scores, whereas osteosarcopenia with frailty had a moderate impact. CONCLUSION Osteosarcopenia with frailty significantly increased the odds of falls, poor ADL, poor IADL, and lower HRQoL compared with the robust group. Combined osteosarcopenia and frailty were not associated with poor health. These findings indicate the importance of diagnosing osteosarcopenia and frailty as separate entities to provide appropriate interventions and treatment.

High remnant cholesterol as a risk factor for developing chronic kidney disease in patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study of a US population. Acta Diabetol 2024; 61:735-743. [PMID: 38436703 PMCID: PMC11101368 DOI: 10.1007/s00592-024-02249-6] [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: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To examine any potential links between remnant cholesterol (RC) and comorbid chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We used data from 2709 American people aged > 20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during 2011-2018. Subjects were categorized according to whether they had comorbid CKD. Logistic regression models and smoothed curve fitting methods were employed to assess the association of RC with comorbid CKD in patients with prediabetes and T2DM. RESULTS The 2709 participants included 1473 patients with T2DM and 1236 with prediabetes [impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG)], of whom 744 (27.46%) had comorbid CKD. In multivariate-adjusted analysis, both RC and triglycerides (TG) were significantly associated with an increased risk of comorbid CKD, and a 1 mmol/L elevation of RC increased the risk by 38.1% [OR (95% CI) 1.636 (1.242, 2.156)], which was higher than the risk associated with a 1 mmol/L increase in TG [1.255 (1.106, 1.424)]. Additionally, those in the highest quartile of RC had a 43.6% higher risk of concomitant renal damage than those in the lowest quartile. RC was linearly and positively associated with the incidence of comorbid CKD in this population. CONCLUSIONS RC is an independent risk factor for comorbid CKD in patients with prediabetes and T2DM. This finding provides a novel insight into the management and early detection of renal disease in patients with impaired glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) and atherosclerosis pose significant global health challenges, with intricate molecular changes influencing disease progression. Hypercholesterolemia (HC), hypertension (HT), and diabetes are key contributors to CAD development. Metabolomics, with its comprehensive analysis of metabolites, offers a unique perspective on cardiovascular diseases. This study leveraged metabolomics profiling to investigate the progression of CAD, focusing on the interplay of hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and diabetes. We performed a metabolomic analysis on 221 participants from four different groups: (I) healthy individuals, (II) individuals with hypercholesterolemia (HC), (III) individuals with both HC and hypertension (HT) or diabetes, and (IV) patients with self-reported coronary artery disease (CAD). Utilizing data from the Qatar Biobank, we combined clinical information, metabolomic profiling, and statistical analyses to identify key metabolites associated with CAD risk. Our data identified distinct metabolite profiles across the study groups, indicating changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism linked to CAD risk. Specifically, levels of mannitol/sorbitol, mannose, glucose, and ribitol increased, while pregnenediol sulfate, oleoylcarnitine, and quinolinate decreased with higher CAD risk. These findings suggest a significant role of sugar, steroid, and fatty acid metabolism in CAD progression and point to the need for further research on the correlation between quinolinate levels and CAD risk, potentially guiding targeted treatments for atherosclerosis. This study provides novel insights into the metabolomic changes associated with CAD progression, emphasizing the potential of metabolites as predictive biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintaining good health is vital not only for own well-being, but also to ensure high-quality patient care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of dyslipidaemia and to determine the factors responsible for the development of this disorder among Polish nurses. Lipid profile disorders are the most prevalent and challenging risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. Nurses have significant potential and play a crucial role in providing care and treatment services. METHODS This cross-sectional study involved nurses and included measurements of body weight composition (Tanita MC-980), body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure (Welch Allyn 4200B), lipid profile, and fasting blood glucose (CardioChek PA). RESULTS The results revealed that more than half of the nurses (60.09%) were overweight or obese, with 57.28% exhibiting elevated blood pressure, 32.25% having fasting glucose levels, and 69.14% experiencing dyslipidaemia. Multiple model evaluation using ROC curves demonstrated that multiple models accurately predicted hypercholesterolemia (AUC = 0.715), elevated LDL (AUC = 0.727), and elevated TC (AUC = 0.723) among Polish nurses. CONCLUSION Comprehensive education programmes should be implemented that include the latest advances in cardiovascular disease prevention. Regular check-ups, as well as the promotion and availability of healthy food in hospital canteens, are essential.

Abstract
Chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) has a high mortality rate, and dyslipidemia is a major risk factor. Atherosclerosis, a cause of CCS, is influenced by gut microbiota dysbiosis and its metabolites. The objective of this study was to study the diversity and composition of gut microbiota and related clinical parameters among CCS patients undergoing coronary angiography and dyslipidemia patients in comparison to healthy volunteers in Thailand. CCS patients had more risk factors and higher inflammatory markers, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) than others. The alpha diversity was lower in dyslipidemia and CCS patients than in the healthy group. A significant difference in the composition of gut microbiota was observed among the three groups. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Fusobacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, Prevotella, and Streptococcus was significantly increased while Roseburia, Ruminococcus, and Faecalibacterium were lower in CCS patients. In CCS patients, Lachnospiraceae, Peptostreptococcaceae, and Pediococcus were positively correlated with hs-CRP. In dyslipidemia patients, Megasphaera was strongly positively correlated with triglyceride (TG) level and negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The modification of gut microbiota was associated with changes in clinical parameters involved in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) in CCS patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Automated office blood pressure (AOBP) measurement often requires assistance. Accompanied by an instructional video, AOBP measurement could be performed independently by patients. DESIGN AND METHODS Seventy-five patients with hypertension were enrolled. AOBP was measured three times at 1-min intervals after 5 min of rest by an automated BP measurement device with the assistance of an animated instructional video. The video was designed originally to instruct patients on the way to measure BP appropriately. Perceived stress was evaluated using a questionnaire after the AOBP measurement. Office BP was measured three times using the same device. Home BP measurement was performed on 5 consecutive days. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 74.5 ± 10.6 years, and 96% were taking antihypertensive drugs. Mean AOBP, office BP and home BP measurements were 135.2 ± 17.2/81.3 ± 11.1, 139.3 ± 16.3/78.6 ± 10.9 and 129.2 ± 16.7/72.7 ± 8.9 mmHg, respectively. Regarding SBP, the mean AOBP was significantly lower than office BP ( P = 0.005) and higher than home BP ( P = 0.004). The differences in SBP and DBP between AOBP and home BP measurements were significantly related to patients' perceived stress when performing AOBP measurements ( r = 0.289; P = 0.013 and r = 0.328; P = 0.004). In a multivariate analysis, patients' perceived stress was a significant predictor of the difference between AOBP and home BP ( P = 0.013), even after adjusting for age, sex, BMI and mean of AOBP and home BP. CONCLUSION AOBP values measured with the assistance of an instructional video were between conventional office and home BP measurements. Perceived stress during AOBP measurement was related to the difference in AOBP from home BP.

Joint association of physical activity and diet quality with dyslipidemia: a cross-sectional study in Western China. Lipids Health Dis 2024; 23:46. [PMID: 38341553 PMCID: PMC10858468 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-024-02030-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and assess the joint association of physical activity (PA) and diet quality on dyslipidemia risk in urban areas of Xinjiang. METHODS Conducted from July 2019 to September 2021 in Xinjiang, China, this cross-sectional study involved 11,855 participants (mean age 47.1 ± 9.4 years, 53.1% male). Standard methods were used to measure plasma cholesterol levels, and validated questionnaires were employed to evaluate dietary habits and PA. The definition of dyslipidemia is based on 2023 Chinese guidelines for lipid management. PA was divided into guideline-recommended moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and non-MVPA, following World Health Organization guidelines. The Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to obtain the intake frequency of each dietary term. Each item was scored based on consumption frequency and divided into three groups (good, intermediate, and poor) based on total dietary score. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify dyslipidemia risk factors, as well as the joint association of PA and diet quality. RESULTS Dyslipidemia prevalence among urban adults in Xinjiang was 39.3%, with notable sex disparities (52.6% in males vs. 24.3% in females, P < 0.001). Among participants with dyslipidemia, the awareness, treatment and control rates were 6.9%, 3.1%, and 1.9%, respectively. A significant multiplicative interaction between PA and diet quality is associated with dyslipidemia (P for interaction < 0.05). Less PA and poor diet quality were associated with an increased odds of dyslipidemia. Even individuals with poor (OR = 1.464, 95% CI: 1.106-1.939) or intermediate (OR = 1.229, 95% CI: 1.003-1.505) diet quality but adhering to recommended MVPA had lower odds of dyslipidemia compared to those with good diet quality but inadequate MVPA (OR = 1.510, 95% CI: 1.252-1.821). CONCLUSIONS Dyslipidemia prevalence was 39.3% in urban adults in Xinjiang, with limited awareness, treatment, and control. Following guideline-recommended MVPA and maintaining good diet quality were protective against dyslipidemia. Low levels of PA associated with a higher prevalence of dyslipidemia, even in individuals with good diet quality.

Abstract
Hypertension affects approximately 100 million U.S. adults and is the leading single contributing risk factor to all-cause mortality. Accurate blood pressure (BP) measurement is essential in the treatment of BP, and a number of devices exist for monitoring. Recently, a new watch-type design was released, the Omron HeartGuide (BP8000), with claims to provide clinically accurate BP measurement while also tracking activity and sleep similar to smart watches. The aim of this research was done in two studies: (1) evaluation of the HeartGuide device for measurement of resting BP and heart rate (HR); and (2) assessment of the HeartGuide for BP, HR, step-counting and sleep monitoring during activities of daily living. Study 1 compared the Omron HeartGuide to the previously validated Welch Allyn ProBP 3400 following a modified version of the Universal Standard for validation of BP measuring devices set by the AAMI/ESH/ISO. While resting HR measured by the HeartGuide was similar to Welch Allyn measures, both systolic and diastolic BP were significantly lower ( P ≤0.001), with differences of 10.4 (11.1) and 3.2 (10.0) mmHg, respectively. Study 2 compared HeartGuide measures to Welch Allyn measures for BP, HR, steps and sleep during various body positions (supine, seated, standing), physiological stressors (cold pressor test, lower body submersion, exercise), and free-living. The HeartGuide significantly underestimated BP though provided accurate HR during most conditions. It also significantly underestimated steps, but reported sleep measures similar to those subjectively reported. Based on the significant differences between the HeartGuide and Welch Allyn, our data indicate the HeartGuide is not a suitable replacement for existing BP monitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension has become one of the most pathogenic diseases in the world. OBJECTIVE This paper summarizes and analyzes the acupuncture point combinations and treatment principles of acupuncture for hypertension in a systematic way by means of big data mining. METHODS The literature for this paper was obtained from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed and PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Ovid databases. Thedata were collected to obtain combinations of acupoints with strong associations through association rule analysis, complex networks for screening to obtain core acupoint nuclei, and cluster analysis to derive treatment principles. RESULTS A total of 127 acupuncture prescriptions involving 66 acupoints were included in this study. Tai-chong (LR3), Qu-chi (LI11), Zu-san-li (ST36), Feng-chi (GB20), and He-gu (LI4) were the most commonly used acupoints. The large intestine meridian was the preferred meridian, and most of the extremity acupoints, especially the lower extremities, were selected clinically. The association rule reveals that Qu-chi (LI11) and Zu-san-li (ST36) are the dominant combination acupoints. 3 core association points obtained after complex network analysis, the 1st association, Bai-hui (DU20), Tai-xi (KI3), Gan-shu (BL18), Shen-shu (BL23); The 2nd association, Qu-chi (LI11), He-gu (LI4), San-yin-jiao (SP6), Zu-san-li (ST36), Feng-chi (GB20), Tai-chong (LR3); The 3rd association, Qi-hai (RN6), Guan-yuan (RN4), Zhong-wan (RN12), Zhao-hai (KI6), Tai-yang (EX-HN5), Lie-que (LU7), Yang-ling-quan (GB34), Xing-jian (LR2), Yin-ling-quan (SP9). Cluster analysis yielded the treatment principles of nourishing Yin and submerging Yang, pacifying the liver and submerging Yang, tonifying Qi and Blood, and calming the mind and restoring the pulse, improving clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION By means of big data mining, we can provide reference for acupuncture point grouping and selection for clinical acupuncture treatment of hypertension.

Abstract
Numerous studies demonstrate a relationship between physical activity and the development of non-communicable diseases. Nurses play a crucial role in the healthcare system, and their demanding work can have an impact on their health. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess physical activity in relation to factors predisposing to the occurrence of specific metabolic disorders among Polish nurses. The measurements included physical activity level using ActiGraph GT3X, body weight composition using Tanita MC-980, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure using Welch Allyn 4200B, lipid profile, and fasting blood glucose using CardioChek PA. The results indicate that nearly one-third (31.75%) of the total sample of studied nurses do not meet the criteria for the minimum amount of physical activity of at least moderate intensity. Furthermore, over half of the surveyed nurses (55.5%) were classified as overweight or obese based on BMI, and almost half (42.86%) had abdominal obesity. The regression model, employing linear regression, revealed that factors predisposing to selected metabolic disorders were age, engaging in multiple jobs, and the number of steps per day. There is a pressing need to implement comprehensive and supportive initiatives to improve the overall health condition of nurses in Poland through increased physical activity. Activating and supporting this professional group is an investment that benefits not only the nurses themselves but also the healthcare system and the entire nation.

Abstract
AIM People with high normal blood pressure (BP) have a higher risk of cardiovascular events than those with normal BP; therefore, progression to hypertension (HT) should be prevented. We aimed to assess the HT risk using central BP and carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) in people with high normal BP. METHODS This prospective cohort study used the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-Based Project Cohort Study (conducted from 2013 in Miyagi Prefecture in Japan). The participants had a high normal BP, defined as a systolic BP of 120-139 mmHg and diastolic BP <90 mmHg using brachial BP measurement during the baseline survey. The outcome was new-onset HT during the secondary survey, conducted four years after the baseline survey. RESULTS Overall, 4,021 participants with high normal BP during the baseline survey, with an average age of 58.7 years, were included; 1,030 (26%) were diagnosed with new-onset HT during the secondary survey, 3.5±0.7 years after the baseline survey. The multivariable odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for HT in the highest versus lowest quartile of central BP was 1.7 (1.2-2.4, p=0.0030), and that of CIMT was 1.8 (1.4-2.4, p<0.001). Subgroup analysis according to age (<60 and ≥ 60 years) and sex revealed that the central BP was influential in groups with younger age and female individuals; CIMT was influential in all groups. CONCLUSIONS Higher central BP and thicker CIMT at the baseline were correlated with new-onset HT in individuals with high normal BP, independent of brachial systolic BP and other cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
This follow-up study assessed the impact of a nitrate-rich diet on salivary nitrate/nitrite levels and the recovery of therapy-induced vascular impairments in a cohort of 39 periodontitis patients treated by standard subgingival mechanical plaque removal (PMPR). At baseline, saliva samples for nitrate/nitrite analysis were collected, and peripheral/central blood and augmentation pressure was documented using the Arteriograph recording system. Immediately after, PMPR vascular parameters were reassessed. All study patients received a randomly allocated supply of a lettuce beverage to be consumed for 14 days, containing either a daily dosage of 200 mg nitrate (test group, n = 20) or being void of nitrate (placebo group, n = 19). At day 14, salivary and vascular parameters were reassessed. Initial salivary and vascular parameters did not differ significantly between the groups. PMPR impaired all vascular parameters in both groups with no differences between the groups. At day 14, salivary nitrate/nitrite levels of the test group were significantly elevated compared to baseline. All vascular parameters had significantly recovered from the impairment inflicted by PMPR. In the placebo group, by contrast, salivary parameters did not differ significantly from baseline, and the recovery of impaired vascular parameters was restricted to a significant improvement of diastolic blood pressure. Correlation analysis identified a significant inverse correlation between salivary nitrate/nitrite sum and central/peripheral blood pressure and augmentation pressure. In conclusion, the data of this subanalysis suggest that increasing salivary nitrate/nitrite levels by a diet rich in nitrate may improve recovery of therapy-induced vascular impairments after PMPR.

Abstract
Aims Lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and blood pressure (BP) levels to guideline recommended values reduces the risk of major adverse cardiac events in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). To improve cardiovascular risk management, this study evaluated the effects of mobile health (mHealth) on BP and cholesterol levels in patients after standalone CABG. Methods and results This study is a post hoc analysis of an observational cohort study among 228 adult patients who underwent standalone CABG surgery at a tertiary care hospital in The Netherlands. A total of 117 patients received standard care, and 111 patients underwent an mHealth intervention. This consisted of frequent BP and weight monitoring with regimen adjustment in case of high BP. Primary outcome was difference in systolic BP and LDL-C between baseline and value after three months of follow-up. Mean age in the intervention group was 62.7 years, 98 (88.3%) patients were male. A total of 26 449 mHealth measurements were recorded. At three months, systolic BP decreased by 7.0 mmHg [standard deviation (SD): 15.1] in the intervention group vs. -0.3 mmHg (SD: 17.6; P < 0.00001) in controls; body weight decreased by 1.76 kg (SD: 3.23) in the intervention group vs. -0.31 kg (SD: 2.55; P = 0.002) in controls. Serum LDL-C was significantly lower in the intervention group vs. controls (median: 1.8 vs. 2.0 mmol/L; P = 0.0002). Conclusion This study showed an association between home monitoring after CABG and a reduction in systolic BP, body weight, and serum LDL-C. The causality of the association between the observed weight loss and decreased LDL-C in intervention group patients remains to be investigated.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of single-pill combination (SPC) antihypertensive drugs in patients with uncontrolled essential hypertension. Through Searching Pubmed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science collected only randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of single-pill combination antihypertensive drugs in people with uncontrolled essential hypertension. The search period is from the establishment of the database to July 2022. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment, and statistical analyses were performed using Review Manage 5.3 and Stata 15.1 software. This review ultimately included 32 references involving 16 273 patients with uncontrolled essential hypertension. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that a total of 11 single-pill combination antihypertensive drugs were included, namely: Amlodipine/valsartan, Telmisartan/amlodipine, Losartan/HCTZ, Candesartan/HCTZ, Amlodipine/benazepril, Telmisartan/HCTZ, Valsartan/HCTZ, Irbesartan/amlodipine, Amlodipine/losartan, Irbesartan/HCTZ, and Perindopril/amlodipine. According to SUCRA, Irbesartan/amlodipine may rank first in reducing systolic blood pressure (SUCRA: 92.2%); Amlodipine/losartan may rank first in reducing diastolic blood pressure (SUCRA: 95.1%); Telmisartan/amlodipine may rank first in blood pressure control rates (SUCRA: 83.5%); Amlodipine/losartan probably ranks first in diastolic response rate (SUCRA: 84.5%). Based on Ranking Plot of the Network, we can conclude that single-pill combination antihypertensive drugs are superior to monotherapy, and ARB/CCB combination has better advantages than other SPC in terms of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, blood pressure control rate, and diastolic response rate. However, due to the small number of some drug studies, the lack of relevant studies has led to not being included in this study, which may impact the results, and readers should interpret the results with caution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nephrosclerosis is one of the histopathological consequences of severe or malignant hypertension (MH), some of the pathophysiology of which has been extrapolated from essential polygenetic arterial hypertension. Despite our recent description of unsuspected ciliopathies with MH, causes of MH in young patients with severe renal impairment are poorly understood. METHODS To refine and better describe the MH phenotype, we studied clinical and prognostic factors in young patients receiving a kidney biopsy following their first episode of MH. Patients were identified retrospectively and prospectively from eight centres over a 35-year period (1985-2020). Keywords were used to retrospectively enrol patients irrespective of lesions found on renal biopsy. RESULTS A total of 114 patients were included, 77 (67%) of whom were men, average age 34 years, 35% Caucasian and 34% African origin. An isolated clinical diagnosis of severe nephrosclerosis was suggested in only 52% of cases, with 24% primary glomerulopathies. Only 7% of patients had normal renal function at diagnosis, 25% required emergency dialysis and 21% were eventually transplanted. Mortality was 1% at the last follow-up. Independent prognostic factors significantly associated with renal prognosis (6-month dialysis) and predictive of end-stage renal disease were serum creatinine on admission {odds ratio [OR] 1.56 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.34-1.96], P < .001} and renal fibrosis >30% [OR 10.70 (95% CI 1.53-112.03), P = .03]. Astonishingly, the presence of any thrombotic microangiopathy lesion on renal biopsy was an independent, protective factor [OR 0.14 (95% CI 0.02-0.60), P = .01]. The histopathological hallmark of nephrosclerosis was found alone in only 52% of study patients, regardless of ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS This suggests that kidney biopsy might be beneficial in young patients with MH.

Abstract
Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death worldwide and it puts a heavy burden on the healthcare system. It is, therefore, very important to detect and evaluate hypertension and related cardiovascular events as to for efficient diagnosis, treatment and management. Hypertension can be evaluated with noninvasive cardiac signals, such as electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals. Most of the previous studies predicted hypertension from ECG and PPG signals with extracted features that are correlated with hypertension. However, correlation is sometimes unreliable and may be affected by confounding factors. In this study, we propose a causal inference based approach to identify feature variables from ECG and PPG signals that are potentially causally related with hypertension. The method of greedy equivalence search was employed to construct the causal graph of features and hypertension. With causal features identified from the causal graph, we used machine learning models to diagnose hypertension. The machine learning classification models achieve great classification performance, among which random forest model has the best classification performance, with accuracy being 0.987, precision being 0.990, recall being 0.981, and F1-score being 0.985. The results show that the causal inference based approach can effectively predict hyper-tension.Clinical relevance- This paper proposes a new hypertension risk prediction method, which uses causality instead of correlation as the feature screening criteria to establish a causal graph of hypertension, which can predict the hypertension more reliably.

Risk factors for insulin resistance related to polycystic ovarian syndrome in Iranian population. Sci Rep 2023; 13:10269. [PMID: 37355686 PMCID: PMC10290663 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-37513-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has significant metabolic sequelae linked to insulin resistance. This study aimed to compare clinical, metabolic, and hormonal characteristics of PCOS women with and without insulin resistance. The second aim was to compare the clinico-biochemical profiles of the various PCOS phenotypes. In this cross-sectional secondary analysis, we combined the baseline data from two separate randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in women diagnosed with PCOS. PCOS patients were categorized into the four Rotterdam PCOS phenotypes according to the presence of at least two criteria of oligomenorrhea/anovulation (O), hyperandrogenism (H), and polycystic ovary morphology (P): O-H-P, H-P, O-H, and O-P. Participants were categorized into two groups according to the homeostasis model assessment index of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) levels: < 3.46, and ≥ 3.46. The correlation between the HOMA-IR and biometric, clinical, and biochemical variables was assessed in normal weight (BMI < 25) and overweight/obese (BMI ≥ 25) PCOS women. Then, the association between PCOS phenotypes and insulin resistance was investigated using logistic regression analysis. A total of 125 PCOS patients aged 18-40 years were included in the present study. Based on our results, the HOMA-IR index was positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure, free androgen index, and triglycerides levels; and negatively correlated with sex hormone-binding globulin in overweight/obese PCOS women. In addition, the HOMA-IR index was found to be positively correlated with alanine transaminase and negatively correlated with diastolic blood pressure in normal weight PCOS women. Moreover, individuals with O-H-P phenotype (odds ratio [OR] 2.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-6.24) had about two-fold increased risk of insulin resistance. In conclusion, the full-blown PCOS (O-H-P) phenotype has an increased risk of insulin resistance. Accordingly, phenotype division may help physicians to predict adverse metabolic outcomes.

Undiagnosed hypertension and associated factors among adults in ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:278. [PMID: 37244992 PMCID: PMC10225092 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03300-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a major public health problem, resulting in 10 million deaths annually. Undiagnosed hypertension affects more people than ever before. It is more likely to be linked to severe hypertension, which can lead to stroke, cardiovascular disease, and ischemic heart disease. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension and its associated factors in Ethiopia. METHODS Databases, such as Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, AJOL, and the Cochrane Library, were systematically searched to find potential studies published until December 2022. A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet was used to enter the extracted data. The pooled prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension and its associated factors was estimated using a random effect model. I2 statistics and the Cochrane Q-test were used to assess statistical heterogeneity across the studies. Begg's and Egger's tests were performed to identify possible publication bias. RESULTS A total of ten articles with 5,782 study participants were included in this meta-analysis. In the random effects model, the pooled prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension was 18.26% (95% CI = 14.94-21.58). Being older (OR = 3.8, 95% CI = 2.56, 5.66), having a body mass index > 25 kg/m2 (OR = 2.71, 95% CI = 2.1, 3.53), having a family history of hypertension (OR = 2.22, 95% CI = 1.47, 3.36), and having DM comorbidity (OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.38, 4.32) were significantly associated with undiagnosed hypertension. CONCLUSION In this meta-analysis, the pooled prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension was found to be high in Ethiopia. Being older, having a BMI > 25 kg/m2, having a family history of hypertension, and having DM comorbidity were found to be risk factors for undiagnosed hypertension.

Abstract
Most patients with hypertension are complicated with insulin resistance (IR), which is one of the risk factors of hypertension and can increase the level of serum homocysteine (Hcy) by affecting Hcy's metabolic enzyme and insulin level. Investigations in recent years have shown that Hcy is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. At present, folic acid is the prominent medicine used to reduce Hcy, but its effection for Hcy has an obvious individual difference, which is closely related to individual genes. Moreover, folic acid is chiefly used in patients with Hcy ≥15 μmol/L, but Hcy ≥10 μmol/L has had an adverse effect on the cardiovascular system. Randomized clinical trials have shown that dapagliflozin can improve IR. Therefore, whether it can reduce Hcy has become a new direction. This study was a retrospective case-control study. Patients with high serum Hcy and hypertension complicated with IR were divided into two groups: the dapagliflozin group (n = 166) and the control group (n = 198). Before and after 12 weeks of treatment, the changes in serum Hcy and IR index were measured and compared. We found that dapagliflozin could reduce the serum Hcy level of patients with hypertension and IR to a certain extent. Dapagliflozin could be a viable option for hypertension complicated with IR and hyperhomocysteinemia. However, these findings need to be further confirmed in future randomized clinical trials with a large number of samples.

Abstract
ObjectiveThe “trajectory” phenotype was observed in several cardiovascular risk factors with aging. We aim to identify multiple brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) trajectory phenotypes and assess their determinants.MethodsAmong 5,182 participants with baPWV measurements (2010–2016) at no less than three time points in Kailuan Study, we derived baPWV trajectory pattern using SAS Proc Traj program. We applied the lowest Bayesian information criterion to identify the best typing model, related the identified trajectory pattern to baseline and changes in characteristics.ResultsAmong 5.3 ± 1.7 years follow-up, four distinct baPWV trajectories were identified as low (1,961,37.8%), medium-low (1,846,35.6%), medium-high (1,024,19.8%), and high (351,6.8%) groups. In the stepwise models, mean arterial pressure and age were the main determinators of the trajectory patterns, with a Δpseudo-R2 of 0.335 and 0.164, respectively. With the low trajectory group as reference and multivariable adjustment, odd ratios of medium low, medium high and high associated with 1 mmHg increment of mean arterial pressure were 1.08(95%CI: 1.07–1.09), 1.13(1.12–1.14), and 1.16(1.15–1.18). The estimates for age were 1.08(1.07–1.10), 1.20(1.18–1.21) and 1.28(1.26–1.31). Additionally, baseline resting heart rate, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, hypersensitive C-reaction protein and uric acid, and changes in mean arterial pressure, resting heart rate, fasting blood glucose, and uric acid were positively associated with the trajectory, while BMI was negatively associated.ConclusionsThe changes in baPWV overtime followed a “trajectory” pattern, mainly determined by mean arterial pressure and age.

Abstract
Abstract
Gouty arthritis, often referred to simply as gout, is a disorder of purine metabolism characterized by the deposition of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) crystals in multiple systems and organs, especially in joints and their surrounding soft tissue. Gout is a treatable chronic disease, and the main strategy for effective management is to reverse the deposition of MSU crystals by uric acid reduction, and to prevent gout attacks, tophi deposition and complications, and thereby improve the quality of life. However, the frequent association of gout with other conditions such as hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney stones can complicate the treatment of gout and lead to premature death. Here, we review the use of medical imaging techniques for studying gouty arthritis with special interest in the potential role of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) in the clinical management of gout and complications (e.g., chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease).

Abstract
Objective: Hypertensive and diabetic patients are at higher risk of developing ocular complications. Color and spectral Doppler, as a noninvasive technique, can be used to monitor and access the ophthalmic artery (OA) and its hemodynamic characteristics. The aim of this study was to investigate the hemodynamics of OA in diabetes and hypertension. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Lahore sonography clinic. The patients were investigated using Toshiba Xario with 5 to 7.5 MHz linear transducer and the scanning was completed with closed eyelids. Those included in the study were hypertensive and diabetic patients. Exclusions were made based on a patient’s history of eye surgeries, trauma, inflammation, glaucoma, cataract, and pregnancy. Results: There were 200 patients recruited and of which, 41 were hypertensive and diabetic, whereas 159 were normal subjects. In this cohort, 41 patients (20%) were positive for hypertension and diabetes. There were 159 patients (79%) were negative for diabetes and hypertension. The resistive index (RI) of right OA was 0.783 ± 0.114 with 0.029. When considering the OA hemodynamics recorded, the pulsatility index (PI), the systolic/diastolic (S/D) ratio, RI, and end diastolic velocity (EDV) were significantly correlated among those with hypertension and diabetes. In the normal subjects, all hemodynamic measurements were seen as normal, when compared to those with hypertension and diabetic. Conclusion: This cohort study may suggest that there is a pathological increase in vascular resistance, PI, S/D ratio, and decreased blood flow velocities, in ophthalmic artery, for those hypertensive and diabetic patients.

Abstract
The determination of the selected antihypertensive drugs in human plasma samples with the novel solvent front position extraction (SFPE) technique is presented. The SFPE procedure combined with LC-MS/MS analysis was used for the first time to prepare a clinical sample containing the drugs mentioned above from different therapeutic groups. The effectiveness of our approach was compared with the precipitation method. The latter technique is usually used to prepare biological samples in routine laboratories. During the experiments, the substances of interest and the internal standard were separated from other matrix components using a prototype horizontal chamber for thin-layer chromatography/high-performance thin-layer chromatography (TLC/HPTLC) with a moving pipette powered by a 3D mechanism, which distributed the solvent on the adsorbent layer. Detection of the six antihypertensive drugs was performed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Results obtained by SFPE were very satisfactory (linearity R2 ≥ 0.981; %RSD ≤ 6%; LOD and LOQ were in the range of 0.06-9.78 ng/mL and 0.17-29.64 ng/mL, respectively). The recovery was in the range of 79.88-120.36%. Intra-day and inter-day precision had a percentage coefficient of variation (CV) in the range of 1.10-9.74%. The procedure is simple and highly effective. It includes the automation of TLC chromatogram development, which significantly reduced the number of manual operations performed, the time of sample preparation and solvent consumption.

Abstract
Early detection and treatment of cancer have led to a noticeable reduction in both mortality and morbidity. However, chemotherapy and radiotherapy could exert cardiovascular (CV) side effects, impacting survival and quality of life, independent of the oncologic prognosis. In this regard, a high clinical index of suspicion is required by the multidisciplinary care team in order to trigger specific laboratory tests (namely natriuretic peptides and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin) and appropriate imaging techniques (transthoracic echocardiography along with cardiac magnetic resonance, cardiac computed tomography, and nuclear testing (if clinically indicated)), leading to timely diagnosis. In the near future, we do expect a more tailored approach to patient care within the respective community along with the widespread implementation of digital health tools.

Abstract
Symptoms of long COVID-19 syndrome (long COVID-19) are reported by 80% of convalescents up to several months after contracting the coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19). The study aimed to assess the frequency and correlations of long COVID symptoms with sex, disease severity, time since the onset of the disease, and exercise capacity in a population of Polish convalescents hospitalized as a part of a rehabilitation program after COVID-19. The retrospective analysis was carried out based on medical records concerning reported symptoms, comorbidities, exercise capacity, fatigue and dyspnea on Borg's scale, arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), spirometric parameters, chest X-rays/computed tomography scans, systolic pulmonary artery pressure, and left ventricular ejection fraction. The study involved 471 patients aged 63.83 ± 9.93 years who had been hospitalized 191.32 ± 75.69 days from the onset of COVID-19, of which 269 (57.1%) were women. The most common symptoms were fatigue (99.57%), dyspnea (99.36%), and myalgia (97.03%). Women reported more symptoms than men (p < 0.001) and rated their fatigue as more severe (p = 0.021). Patients with depressed moods reported more physical symptoms than others (p < 0.001). Most long COVID symptoms, including dyspnea, fatigue, and depressive symptoms, were found with the same frequency in patients 12-24 weeks and >24 weeks after recovery (p = 0.874, p = 0.400, and p = 0.320, respectively), regardless of acute COVID-19 severity (p = 0.240, p = 0.826, and p = 0.108, respectively). Dyspnea severity correlated with forced vital capacity (FVC) (r = -0.153, p = 0.005), and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) (r = -0.142, p = 0.008). Fatigue severity correlated with impaired FVC and FEV1 (both r = -0.162, p = 0.003). Fatigue and dyspnea inversely correlated with the distance in a six-minute walk test (r = -0.497, p < 0.001, and r = -0.327, p < 0.001). In conclusion, in our cohort, long COVID symptoms are more common in women. Dyspnea/fatigue and depressive symptoms do not tend to subside after an average six-month recovery period. The intensity of perceived fatigue may be exaggerated by the coexistence of neuropsychiatric disorders. Increased fatigue and dyspnea correlate with impaired spirometric parameters and significantly affects convalescents' exercise capacity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Some studies have pointed to a relationship between Phenyketonuria (PKU) and an increased cardiovascular risk (CVR). This study aimed to evaluate the influence of metabolic control on classical CVR factors in adult patients with PKU. MATERIAL AND METHODS It was a cross-sectional study conducted in patients older than 18 years with a diagnosis of classical PKU and under strict dietary control. Demographic, epidemiological and laboratory variables related to CVR were collected. The variables of metabolic control were some parameters related to phenylalanine (Phe) plasma levels. RESULTS A total of 47 patients were included with a mean age of 36±10 years of which 30 (64%) were women. Multivariate analysis revealed that range Phe (B=-2.211, P=0.044, 95%CI: -4.354-(-0.068)) levels were within the model for triglyceride concentrations, while minimum (B=-2.803, P=0.051, 95%CI: -5.612-0.007) and range (B=-1.515, P=0.039, 95%CI: -2.945-(-0.084)) Phe levels were within the model for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. Median Phe levels showed a stronger correlation with waist circumference (WC) (B=1.216, P=0.002, 95%CI: 0.462-1.969) than with body mass index (B=0.355, P=0.052, 95%CI: -0.004-0.714). CONCLUSIONS High Phe levels and wide Phe fluctuations were related to weight gain, increased WC and lipid profile abnormalities. Systematic CVR assessments and comprehensive monitoring of Phe levels may be desirable to prevent or delay cardiovascular disease in PKU patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the use of safe and effective conventional drugs, drug therapy problems (DTPs) pose a threat to the successful management of hypertension. DTPs are of a great concern in health care because of their serious consequences such as poor quality of life, increased health care costs, morbidity and mortality. However, there is no published information regarding the prevalence of DTPs and associated factors among hypertensive patients in Uganda. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with DTPs among hypertensive patients at the hypertension clinic of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH). METHOD A cross-sectional study was conducted at the hypertension clinic, MRRH, Uganda among 228 hypertensive patients. Data were collected from medical records using a data abstraction tool and patients were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0. Descriptive analysis was used to determine the prevalence of DTPs. Logistic regression was used to determine the association between the independent and dependent variables. Variables were considered statistically significant at p-value <0.05. RESULTS A total of 178 DTPs were identified among 141 hypertensive patients. The prevalence of antihypertensive-related DTPs was 61.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 55.3-67.5) with an average of 1.26 ± 0.52 DTPs per patient. Out of 141 participants with DTPs, 109 (77.3%) had one DTP, 27 (19.1%) had 2 DTPs, and 5 (3.5%) had 3 DTPs. The most common types of antihypertensive-related DTPs were 'dosage too low' which accounted for 53 (29.8%), followed by 'adverse drug reactions' which accounted for 48 (27%). Uncontrolled blood pressure (BP; adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 4.17; 95% CI: 2.33-7.45, p < 0.001) and routine laboratory test results (AOR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.04-3.36, p = 0.036) were significantly associated with antihypertensive-related DTPs among hypertensive patients. CONCLUSION Almost two-thirds of study participants had antihypertensive-related DTPs. The most common DTPs were 'dosage too low' and 'adverse drug reactions' which both accounted for almost a third of the total DTPs each. Uncontrolled BP and routine laboratory test results were significantly associated with antihypertensive-related DTPs among the study participants. Our study emphasizes the need for improved patient care by clinical pharmacists to identify and prevent DTPs among hypertensive patients.

Abstract
In elderly chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, isolated systolic hypertension is common, the rate of renal function decline is slow, and there is a high possibility of physical damage due to side effects such as drug use-related orthostatic hypotension. Therefore, there are still many questions about whether lowering blood pressure in elderly patients will actually improve prognosis. Since many blood pressure-related clinical studies exclude advanced CKD and the elderly, it is particularly difficult to define target blood pressure in these populations. A randomized controlled trial is needed to establish optimal blood pressure targets and treatment strategies in elderly patients with CKD. This review seeks to summarize the guidelines available at this time.

Abstract
Hypertension is a major health burden worldwide. However, there is limited data on the status of hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) and established cardiovascular (CV) disease in Chinese hypertensive patients. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of HMOD and established CV disease in a nationally representative population in China. A stratified multistage random sampling method was used in the China Hypertension Survey and 21,243 participants aged 35 or older were eligible for analysis in this study. For each participant, the demographic information and a self-reported medical history were acquired. Blood pressure was measured with the electronic device 3 times on the right arm, supported at heart level, after the participant was sitting at rest for 5 min. Samples of blood and urine were tested. 2-D and Doppler echocardiography were used to assess the heart's function and structures. Sampling weights were calculated based on the 2010 China population census data. Overall, the weighted prevalence of asymptomatic HMOD was 22.1%, 28.9%, 23.1%, 6.4%, and 6.2% for wide pulse pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy, microalbuminuria, chronic kidney disease, and abnormal ankle-brachial index, respectively. For the established CV disease, the weighted prevalence was 1.8%, 1.3%, 2.0%, and 1.1% for stroke, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation, respectively. The prevalence of asymptomatic HMOD and established CV disease was greater with higher blood pressure level (P < 0.05), rather than ankle-brachial index. Compared to those with uncontrolled hypertension, the prevalence of asymptomatic HMOD was lower in patients with controlled hypertension. In summary, the prevalence of HMOD in Chinese people aged 35 or older was very common, indicating a substantial future burden of both morbidity and mortality from hypertension in China. Clinical trial registration number: ChiCTR-ECS-14004641.

Abstract
To explore the impact and risk of short sleep duration (sleep duration < 6 h/night) on new-onset cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) in people with metabolic syndromes (Mets), this study used the 2011 baseline and 2015 follow-up data from the China Longitudinal Study of Health and Retirement (CHARLS) to conduct a prospective study of people aged ≥ 45 years in China. A total of 5,530 individuals without pre-existing CVDs in baseline were included. Mets were defined according to the harmonized criteria. We applied the Logistic Regression (LR), the Deep Neural Networks (DNN), and the Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost), to evaluate the association between Mets components, short sleep, and the risk of new-onset CVDs, and the importance of multiple variates for new-onset CVDs. During the 4-year follow-up period, 512 individuals developed CVDs, and short sleep increased the risk of CVD in individuals with Mets. The odds ratio for prevalent CVD in Mets with short sleep group was 3.73 (95%CI 2.95–4.71; P < 0.001) compared to the normal group, and 1.99 (95% CI 1.58–2.51; P < 0.001) compared to the Mets without short sleep group. The DNN method reached the highest precision of 92.24% and f1-score of 95.86%, and the Adaboost method reached the highest recall of 99.92%. Both DNN and Adaboost have better predictive performance than LR and revealed short sleep duration and components of Mets are all the strongest predictors of CVD onset.

Abstract
Plasma sodium plays a major role in regulating blood pressure (BP). An augmented variability of BP is considered a risk factor for the development of arterial hypertension, which is prevalent among patients with suspected sleep bruxism (SB). The aims of this study were to assess the plasma concentration of electrolytes and their effect on the intensity of SB and BP variability among sleep bruxers. A total of 51 patients were enrolled in this prospective, observational study. A single full-night polysomnographic examination was conducted in the Wroclaw Medical University Sleep Laboratory, Poland, and based on the guidelines of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the results were analyzed. The monitoring of ambulatory BP was performed the next day, and the plasma levels of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium were measured. The mean age of the studied group was 33.9 ± 11.2 years, and the mean bruxism episode index (BEI) was 4.94 ± 3.53. The study revealed statistically significant differences in the plasma concentrations of sodium in the SB group. A decreased sodium concentration was observed in the group of mild bruxers (2 ≤ BEI < 4) (139.7 ± 1.4 vs. 142.8 ± 3.2, p = 0.002) and severe bruxers (BEI ≥ 4) (140.5 ± 2.0 vs. 142.8 ± 3.2, p = 0.016) compared to nonbruxers (BEI < 2). A statistically significant positive linear correlation was found between plasma sodium concentration and daytime systolic BP variability (r = 0.32, p < 0.05) as well as between plasma sodium concentration and nighttime diastolic BP variability (r = 0.31, p < 0.05). The preliminary results suggest the probable relationship between the lower plasma concentration of sodium and increased intensity of SB and BP variability among suspected sleep bruxers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypertension represent the commonest cause of death in 2017. Hypertension is classified into two types which are primary or essential hypertension and secondary hypertension. The perindopril-amlodipine combination showed a significant effect in reduction of the elevated BP and the cardiovascular complications. AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose single-pill combination of perindopril-amlodipine in hypertensive patients. METHODS We searched PubMed, Medline, SCOPUS, and Web of Science for relevant clinical trials. Quality appraisal was evaluated according to GRADE and we assessed the risk of bias using Cochrane's risk of bias tool. We included the following outcomes: systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, mean blood pressure, heart rate, cough, dizziness, headache, and peripheral edema. We performed the analysis of homogeneous data under the fixed-effects model, while analysis of heterogeneous data was analyzed under the random-effects model. We conducted a meta-regression according to the dose. RESULTS We included ten clinical trials. The pooled analysis showed that there was a significant reduction of the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse plessure, mean blood pressure, and heart rate after the the perindopril-amlodipine combination (MD = 18.96 [14.32, 23.60], P < 0.0001), (MD = 11.90 [8.45, 15.35], P < 0.0001), (MD = 8.44 [6.91, 9.97], P = 0.0001), (MD = 13.07 [5.86, 20.29], P = 0.0004), and (MD = 2.93 [0.89, 4.96], P = 0.005), respectively. The results of the meta-regression revealed that the efficacy is increased by increasing the dose (P < 0.001) CONCLUSION: The use of the perindopril-amlodipine combination had a significant effect on the reduction of SBP, DBP, mean blood pressure, pulse pressure, and HR.

Abstract
Background: Recent studies suggest the positive role of flavonols on blood pressure (BP) values, although there are not many conducted on humans. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between flavonol intake and their main sources of consumption, and systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP values in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Methods and results: forty CAD patients completed a food-frequency questionnaire dedicated to flavonol-intake assessment. The analysis revealed significant correlation between isorhamnetin intake and SBP values—absolute (R: −0.36; 95% CI: −0.602 to −0.052; p = 0.02), and related to body mass (R: −0.38; 95% CI: −0.617 to −0.076; p = 0.02. This effect was observed in male participants (R: −0.65; 95% CI: −0.844 to −0.302; p = 0.001 and R: −0.63; 95% CI: −0.837 to −0.280; p = 0.002 respectively), but not in female patients. The main contributors were onions, tomatoes, blueberries, apples, tea, coffee and wine. White onion (R: −0.39; 95% CI: −0.624 to −0.088; p = 0.01) consumption was inversely correlated with SBP, and tomato consumption (R: −0.33; 95% CI: −0.581 to −0.020; p = 0.04) with DBP. The comparison between patients with BP < 140 mmHg and ≥140 mmHg revealed significant differences in white onion (p = 0.01) and blueberry (p = 0.04) intake. Conclusions: This study revealed the relationship between long-term dietary isorhamnetin intake and SBP values. The analysis of specific food intake showed that onion, tomato and blueberry consumption could impact BP values. This may suggest that a dietary approach which includes a higher intake of isorhamnetin-rich products could possibly result in BP lowering in CAD patients.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment (CI), an intermediate phase between the decline in physiological cognition and dementia, is known to be mediated by a variety of risk and protective factors, with age being the most influential of these. The multifactorial nature of CI and the worldwide phenomenon of an aging population makes decoupling old age from disease through the concept of healthy aging (HA) a matter of major interest. Focusing on psychosocial variables and psychological constructs, here we designed and piloted a data collection booklet (DeCo-B) to assess CI and HA from a holistic perspective. The DeCo-B comprises six sections: sociodemographic factors, CI, meaning in life, psychosocial factors, health problems, and lifestyle. The estimated prevalence of CI and HA in our cohort were 24.4% and 6.6%, respectively. Spearman correlations mainly identified pairwise associations between the meaning in life domains and psychosocial variables. Moreover, age, marital status, purpose in life, resilience, chronic pain, cognitive reserve, and obstructive sleep apnea were significantly associated with an increased risk of CI. Our results showed that DeCo-B is a suitable tool for researching how modifiable risk and protective factors influence cognitive status. The complex interrelationships between variables should be further investigated and, for practical reasons, the questionnaire should be optimized in future work.

Abstract
Background Abnormal glycolipid metabolism plays a crucial role in hypertension. While an elevated triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been recognized as a risk factor for developing hypertension, the associations between the TyG index and different hypertension subtypes, namely, isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH), and systolic-diastolic hypertension (SDH), remain unclear. This study was designed to investigate the associations between the TyG index and hypertension subtypes in a general Chinese population. Materials and methods In a sample of 16,793 participants from Shandong Province, China, multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the associations between the TyG index and different hypertension subtypes. Loess smooth curves were fitted to visualize the trends. Stratified analyses were conducted to further assess the potential interactions in the associations between the TyG index and different hypertension subtypes. Results A higher TyG index was associated with an increased odds of having IDH (OR = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.66–5.23) and SDH (OR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.33–2.49), whereas no apparent relationship was observed between TyG index and ISH. With respect to sex, the effect of TyG index on having IDH and SDH was significant in women, but not in men. Participants with lower lipid profiles and glucose levels demonstrated a stronger strength of association between the TyG index and IDH as compared with the TyG index-SDH association. Stratified analysis showed that participants with a higher TyG index were more than 3 times more likely to have IDH and SDH among persons aged 18–42 years. Significant interactions were observed between TyG index and sex, age, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the SDH group, and a significant interaction was also found between TyG index and body mass index (BMI) in the ISH group. Conclusion Triglyceride-glucose index may potentially serve as a novel indicator for IDH and SDH. Our findings could also inform the development and implementation of targeted screening for hypertension.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most frequent cause of genetic renal disease and accounts for 6-10% of patients on kidney replacement therapy (KRT). Very few prospective, randomized trials or clinical studies address the diagnosis and management of this relatively frequent disorder. No clinical guidelines are available to date. This is a revised consensus statement from the previous 2014 version, presenting the recommendations of the Spanish Working Group on Inherited Kidney Diseases, which were agreed to following a literature search and discussions. Levels of evidence mostly are C and D according to the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (University of Oxford). The recommendations relate to, among other topics, the use of imaging and genetic diagnosis, management of hypertension, pain, cyst infections and bleeding, extra-renal involvement including polycystic liver disease and cranial aneurysms, management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and KRT and management of children with ADPKD. Recommendations on specific ADPKD therapies are provided as well as the recommendation to assess rapid progression.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19105827. [PMID: 35627363 PMCID: PMC9140333 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19105827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 05/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Background: Nutritional status is related to the prognosis and length of hospital stay (LOS) of patients with hypertension (HT). This study aimed to assess how nutritional status and body mass index (BMI) affect LOS for patients with hypertension. Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of 586 medical records of patients who had been admitted to the Institute of Heart Diseases of the University Clinical Hospital in Wroclaw, Poland. Results: A total of 586 individuals were included in the analysis. Individuals who were at a nutritional risk represented less than 2% of the study population, but more than 60% were overweight or obese. The mean BMI was 28.4 kg/m2 (SD: 5.16). LOS averaged 3.53 days (SD = 2.78). In the case of obese individuals, hospitalisation lasted for 3.4 ± 2.43 days, which was significantly longer than for patients of normal weight. For underweight patients, hospitalisation lasted for 5.14 ± 2.27 days, which was also significantly longer than for those in other BMI categories (p = 0.017). The independent predictors of shorter hospitalisations involved higher LDL concentration (parameter of regression: −0.015) and HDL concentration (parameter of regression: −0.04). Conclusions: The study revealed that with regard to the nutritional status of hypertensive patients, being either underweight or obese was associated with longer LOS. Additional factors that related to prolonged LOS were lower LDL and HDL levels and higher CRP concentrations.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are the leading causes of death worldwide. With an increasing number of the elderly population, and early cancer screening and treatment, the number of cancers cases are rising, while the mortality rate is decreasing. However, the number of cancer survivors is increasing yearly. With the prolonged life span of cancer patients, the adverse effects of anti-tumor therapy, especially CVD, have gained enormous attention. The incidence of cardiovascular events such as cardiac injury or cardiovascular toxicity is higher than malignant tumors' recurrence rate. Numerous clinical studies have also shifted their focus from the study of a single disease to the interdisciplinary study of oncology and cardiology. Previous studies have confirmed that anti-tumor therapy can cause CVD. Additionally, the treatment of CVD is also related to the tumors incidence. It is well established that the increased incidence of CVD in cancer patients is probably due to an unmodified unhealthy lifestyle among cancer survivors or cardiotoxicity caused by anti-cancer therapy. Nevertheless, some patients with CVD have a relatively increased cancer risk because CVD and malignant tumors are highly overlapping risk factors, including gender, age, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, inflammation, and obesity. With advancements in the diagnosis and treatment, many patients simultaneously suffer from CVD and cancer, and most of them have a poor prognosis. Therefore, clinicians should understand the relationship between CVD and tumors, effectively identify the primary and secondary prevention for these diseases, and follow proper treatment methods.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement (24-h ABPM) is the most important method to establish true hypertension, in clinical practice often repeated automated office blood pressure (AOBP) measurements are used because of convenience and lower costs. We aimed to assess the agreement rate between a 30 and 60 min AOBP and 24-h ABPM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with known hypertension (cohort 1) and patients visiting the neurology outpatient clinic after minor stroke or transient ischaemic attack (cohort 2) were selected. We performed AOBP for 30-60 min at 5-min intervals followed by 24-h ABPM and calculated average values of both measurements. Agreement between the two methods was studied with McNemar and Bland-Altman plots with a clinically relevant limit of agreement of ≤10 mm Hg difference in systolic BP. RESULTS Our final cohort consisted of 135 patients from cohort 1 and 72 patients from cohort 2. We found relatively low agreement based on the clinical relevant cut-off value; 64.7% of the measurements were within the limits of agreement for 24-h systolic and 50.2% for 24-h diastolic. This was 61.4% for daytime systolic and 56.6% for daytime diastolic. In 73.5% of the patients, both methods led to the same diagnosis of either being hypertensive or non-hypertensive. This resulted in a significant difference between the methods to determine the diagnosis of hypertension (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION We conclude that 30-60 min AOBP measurements cannot replace a 24-h ABPM and propose to perform 24-h ABPM at least on a yearly basis to confirm AOBP measurements.

Abstract
Abstract
Patients on maintenance hemodialysis are a group with high cardiovascular risk, characterized by high arterial stiffness, which is considered a novel cardiovascular risk factor. Diabetes mellitus is both one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease and a determinant of poor outcome in this group. The aim of the study was to examine carotid stiffness with high resolution echo-tracking in order to assess the influence of diabetes mellitus on arterial stiffness in this group.
Ninety patients (47 F; 43 M) with end-stage renal disease on maintenance hemodialysis were divided into two subgroups: diabetic and nondiabetic (37 and 53 patients respectively). They underwent clinical examination, laboratory tests, and ultrasonographic carotid stiffness assessment both before and after hemodialysis. Local arterial stiffness parameters β, Ep, AC, and PWVβ were calculated. Patient survival was assessed after a 58-month-long follow-up. During the 58-month period 25 of these diabetic patients died, as did 18 non-diabetic patients. Diabetes mellitus was a risk factor for overall mortality among the group of hemodialysed patients. Patients who died from non-cardiovascular causes significantly more often suffered from diabetes mellitus than survivors. There were no statistically significant differences in local arterial stiffness between the groups.
Local arterial stiffness in hemodialysed patients, assessed with high resolution echo-tracking, is not influenced by the presence of diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the association between non-dipper blood pressure pattern and subconjunctival hemorrhage (SCH). METHODS Twenty-seven consecutive patients with nocturnal SCH and 27 age, sex-matched controls were enrolled. Demographic, blood parameters, office blood pressure measurements, 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) were evaluated. RESULTS Mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) for nighttime (65.03 ± 7.1 vs. 70.78 ± 10.5, p: 0.22), mean heart rate for nighttime (64.54 ± 8.26 vs. 69.93 ± 9.85, p: 0.034), Minimum Systolic Blood pressure(SBP) and DBP values for nighttime (92.44 ± 9.72 vs. 99.44 ± 10.66, p:0.015 and 51.15 ± 8.31 vs. 57.7 ± 11.2, p: 0.018) were higher, nocturnal fall ratio of SBP and DBP were significantly lower in the SCH ( + ) group compared to SCH (-) group (5.38 ± 8.39 vs. 10.34 ± 6.08, p: 0.016 and 4.26 ± 8.92 vs. 13.78 ± 6.97, p < 0001 respectively). Ten patients (37%) in the SCH (-) group and 18 patients (66.7%) in the SCH ( + ) group were non-dippers (p: 0.029). Mean daytime SBP and DBP were higher compared to office measurements of 4 patients (14.8%) in the SCH (-) group and 11 patients (40.7%) in the SCH ( + ) group (p: 0.033). CONCLUSION SCH had a strong association with non-dipper blood pressure pattern, higher nocturnal heart rate and masked hypertension which are precursors of myocardial infarction, stroke and renal failure. So, SCH should be considered as a clue for serious diseases such as coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, stroke and patients should be evaluated for ABPM.

Sympathetic Nerve Activity and Baroreflex are Strongly Altered in a Context of Severe Hypertension Using the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat Model Associated with Chronic Reduction of Nitric Oxide. Int J Hypertens 2021; 2021:4808657. [PMID: 34868673 PMCID: PMC8639277 DOI: 10.1155/2021/4808657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of our study is to investigate the sympathetic output and baroreflex via renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) recording in a model of severe hypertension which exhibits arterial, cardiac, and renal damages, the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) under lowered NO bioavailability. SHR are treated from 18 to 20 weeks of age with a low dose of L-NAME, a NO synthase inhibitor, in drinking water (SHRLN) and compared to SHR and normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats. After the two-week treatment, rats are anesthetized for RSNA, mean blood pressure (MBP), and heart rate (HR) recording. MBP is higher in SHR than in WKY and higher in SHRLN than in SHR. Compared to WKY, SHR displays an alteration in the baroreflex with a displacement of the sympathoinhibition curve to highest pressures; this displacement is greater in SHRLN rats. The bradycardic response is reduced in SHRLN compared to both SHR and WKY. In hypertensive rats, SHR and SHRLN, basal RSNA is modified, the maximal amplitude of burst is reduced, but minimal values are increased, indicating an increased basal RSNA with reduced bursting activity. The temporal correlation between RSNA and HR is preserved in SHR but altered in 10 SHRLN out of 10. The RSNA inhibition triggered by the Bezold–Jarisch reflex activation is not modified in hypertensive rats, SHR or SHRLN, in contrast to that triggered by the baroreflex. Histological analysis of the carotid bifurcation does not reveal any abnormality in SHRLN at the level of the carotid sinus. In conclusion, data indicate that the sympathetic outflow is altered in SHRLN with a strong reduction of the baroreflex sympathoinhibition and suggest that its central pathway is not involved. These additional results on SHRLN also confirm the usefulness of this model of severe hypertension with multiple target organ damages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between fasting blood glucose and new-onset hypertension and examine any synergistically effect modification with multiple risk factors. METHODS We conducted post-hoc analyses of repeated-measures data in the original Dongzhi osteoporosis cohort study. In total, 3985 participants without hypertension aged 25-64 years were included in the current analyses. Generalized estimating equation models were used to assess the relationship between fasting blood glucose and risk of new-onset hypertension after adjusting for pertinent covariates and autocorrelations among siblings. RESULTS 393 men (19.4%) and 398 women (20.3%) without hypertension at the baseline developed hypertension by the end of the study period. Compared to lower baseline fasting blood glucose levels (Q1-Q3: < 5.74 mmol/L; clinical cut points: < 5.6 mmol/L), higher baseline fasting blood glucose levels (Q4: ≥ 5.74 mmol/L; clinical cut points: ≥ 5.6 mmol/L and < 7.0 mmol/L) increased the risk of new-onset hypertension significantly [(OR: 1.54, 95% CI 1.19-1.98, P < 0.001); (OR: 1.38, 95% CI 1.09-1.75, P = 0.008)] in women. Additionally, a stronger significant association was found in women with elevated fasting blood glucose on risk of new-onset of hypertension with higher total cholesterol (≥ 5.2 mmol/L) [(OR: 2.76; 95% CI: (1.54, 4.96), P < 0.001)]. However, no association was found between fasting blood glucose and risk of new-onset hypertension in men. CONCLUSIONS High fasting blood glucose may be significantly associated with risk of new-onset hypertension in Chinese women, especially in women with higher total cholesterol. Further randomized studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The most important way to reduce CVD-related mortality is to apply appropriate treatment according to the risk status of the patients. For this purpose, the SCORE risk model is used in Europe. In addition to these risk models, some anthropometric measurements are known to be associated with CVD risk and risk factors. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the association of these anthropometric measurements, especially neck circumference (NC), with the SCORE risk chart. METHODS This was planned as a cross-sectional study. The study population were classified according to their SCORE risk values. The relationship of NC and other anthropometric measurements with the total cardiovascular risk indicated by the SCORE risk was investigated. RESULTS A total of 232 patients were included in the study. The patients participating in the study were analysed in four groups according to the SCORE ten-year total cardiovascular mortality risk. As a result, the NC was statistically significantly lower among the SCORE low and moderate risk group than all other SCORE risk groups (low-high and very high 36(3)-38(4) (IQR) p: 0.026, 36(3)-39(4) (IQR) p < 0.001, 36(3)-40(4) (IQR) p < 0.001), (moderate-high and very high 38(4) vs. 39(4) (IQR) p: 0.02, 38(4) vs. 40(4) (IQR) p < 0.001, 39(4) vs. 40(4) (IQR) p > 0.05). NC was found to have the strongest correlation with SCORE than the other anthropometric measurements. CONCLUSIONS Neck circumference correlates strongly with the SCORE risk model which shows the ten-year cardiovascular mortality risk and can be used in clinical practice to predict CVD risk.

Abstract
Background Office blood pressure (BP) measurement is affected by the white-coat phenomenon and shows a weaker correlation with the gold standard ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). To overcome this limitation, 24-hour ABPM is recommended by the guidelines for the diagnosis of hypertension. However, 24-hour ABPM is expensive and cumbersome, which limits its use in low to middle-income countries like Pakistan. We aimed to assess if an abbreviated ABPM interval can be utilized to diagnose hypertension effectively in our population. Methods A cross-sectional study, involving 150 participants as part of the Post Clinic Ambulatory Blood Pressure (PC-ABP) study, was conducted in the cardiology clinics. Participants ≥18 years of age, who were either hypertensive or referred for assessment of hypertension, were included. Blood pressure (BP) readings were taken with an ambulatory BP monitor over a 24-hour period. After excluding the first hour called the 'white-coat window,' the mean of the first six systolic readings taken every half hour during the daytime was calculated and was called systolic three-hour ABPM. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated and Bland-Altman plots were constructed to determine the correlation and limits of agreement between mean systolic three-hour ABPM and daytime-ABPM. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for systolic and diastolic three-hour daytime ABPM and area under the curve (AUC) were analyzed for the level of accuracy in predicting hypertension. Results Of the 150 participants, 49% were male, and 76% of all were hypertensive. The mean age of participants was 60.3 ± 11.9 years. The mean systolic three-hour ABPM was 135.0 ± 16 mmHg. The mean systolic daytime ABPM was 134.7 ± 15 mmHg. Pearson correlation coefficient between mean systolic three-hour ABPM and mean systolic daytime ABPM was 0.85 (p-value <0.001). The limits of agreement were 18 mmHg to -17 mmHg between the two readings on Bland-Altman plots and the area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was 0.96, suggesting that three-hour systolic ABPM is a good predictor of hypertension. Conclusion Three-hour ABPM correlates well with 24-hour ABPM in the Pakistani population. We recommend considering the use of this abbreviated ABPM to screen hypertension where a full-length ABPM cannot be used. Further studies can be conducted on a larger sample size to determine the prognostic implications of this shortened ABPM.

Prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension in Bangladesh: Findings from National Demographic and Health Survey, 2017-2018. J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich) 2021; 23:1830-1842. [PMID: 34492733 PMCID: PMC8678656 DOI: 10.1111/jch.14363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to estimate the age-standardised prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension and to identify their risk factors in Bangladeshi adults. Data from 12 904 adults aged 18-95 years, available from the most recent nationally representative 2017-2018 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey were used. Hypertension was defined as having systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or a diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, and/or taking anti-hypertensive drugs to control blood pressure. Age-standardized prevalence of hypertension and management were estimated with direct standardisation. A multilevel mixed-effects Poisson regression model with a robust variance was used to identify risk factors associated with hypertension and its awareness, treatment, and control. The overall age-standardized prevalence of hypertension was 26.2% (95% CI, 25.5-26.9); (men: 23.5%, women: 28.9%). Among those with hypertension (n = 3531), 36.7% were aware that they had the condition, and only 31.1% received anti-hypertensive medication. The prevalence of controlled hypertension was 12.7% among those with hypertension and 43.6% among those treated for hypertension (n = 1306). Factors independently associated with hypertension were increasing age, higher body mass index, being women, having diabetes, and residing in selected administrative divisions. A declining trend of hypertension control was observed with increasing age and low education. Hypertension is highly prevalent (one in four) in Bangladeshi adults, while awareness, treatment, and control are low. Irrespective of the risks associated with hypertension and its management, programs to increase its awareness, treatment, and control should be given high priority in reducing hypertension prevalence and improving hypertension control in Bangladesh.
