Lihua M, Xiaolian J, Song W, Ning J. Application of health self-management intervention program for metabolic syndrome patients in the bereaved population following the Wenchuan earthquake. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1277389. [PMID: 38145081 PMCID: PMC10740171 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1277389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The destructive Wenchuan earthquake has led to approximately 800,000 people being bereaved. In the previous cross-sectional study, we explored the long-term incidence of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and studied its influencing factors among the bereaved population 12 years after the Wenchuan earthquake. Chronic disease self-management has become a recognized public health service. Studies have shown that demographic and genetic factors, stress, geographical environment, society, culture, dietary habits, lifestyle, and other aspects influence MS. Due to the Wenchuan earthquake being a serious stress event, the implementation of targeted interventions should be discussed further. Objectives To verify the effect of applying a self-management intervention program for patients with MS among the bereaved population following the Wenchuan earthquake. Design A randomized controlled trial (RCT) design was adopted. Participants A total of 132 bereaved patients with MS following the Wenchuan earthquake constituted the sample. Methods The study was based on the Cognitive-Phenomenological-Transaction, Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, and Patient Empowerment Conceptual Model, which combined with the latest evidence-based guidelines, were used to systematically evaluate cross-sectional results of this study that were used to construct a stress management-based health self-management intervention program and MS health self-management manual for bereaved patients with MS following the Wenchuan earthquake. In addition, we revised and completed a health self-management intervention program and health self-management manual for patients with MS by using the expert consultation method. General data were collected prior to intervention (T0). We collected the patients' MS disease-related physiological indicators before intervention (T0), after intervention (T1), and 2 months after intervention (T2). EipData3.1 software was used to input data in duplex and duplicate, and SPSS22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results The variance analysis showed that the total score of healthy self-management behavior and the score of diet management, exercise management, drug management, and emotional management have intergroup effects, time effects, and group-time interaction effects (p < 0.05). When the differences between groups were further compared, we found that the total score and the score of six dimensions (excluding disease self-monitoring management) were higher than those of the control groups at T1 and T2, and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion The intervention program of healthy self-management for patients with MS who come from bereaved families following the Wenchuan earthquake can effectively improve patients' health self-management behaviors.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiometabolic risk factors are modifiable contributors to cardiometabolic disease and adverse outcomes. Cardiometabolic risk factors are emerging health concerns among adults in low and middle-income countries. The role of social determinants of health on cardiometa gaps. DATA SYNTHESIS A comprehensive search was conducted in multiple databases: PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science (Clarivate), and CINAHL (EBSCO). Joanna Briggs Institute's (JBI) Scoping Review methodology and PRISMA extension for scoping reviews-SCRA guided this review. Forty-four cross-sectional studies published between 2010 and 2022 were eligible for this review. Men were more likely to have hypertension, while women were more likely to have obesity and abdominal obesity. Participants from marginalized caste/ethnicity, urban regions, and those with lower education, and greater wealth index had a greater likelihood of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia; however, differences across these sociodemographic subgroups are narrowing. Smoking, harmful alcohol use, high salt intake, low fruit and vegetable intake, and sedentary lifestyles were associated with one or more cardiometabolic risk factors. Finally, one cardiometabolic risk factor increased the risk of others. CONCLUSIONS Findings reflect that Nepal is at the intersection of rapid urbanization, nutritional transition, and socioeconomic shift. Future studies should take a multilevel approach to investigate the role of social determinants in increasing the cardiometabolic risk burden in Nepal.

The association between lipid profile, oxidized LDL and the components of metabolic syndrome with serum mineral status and kidney function in individuals with obesity. BMC Res Notes 2023; 16:196. [PMID: 37670399 PMCID: PMC10481520 DOI: 10.1186/s13104-023-06472-2] [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: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is presented with a cluster of cardio-metabolic risk factors with widespread prevalence. In the present case-control study, we aimed to examine the relationship between several minerals and renal function tests with the components of MetS in individuals with obesity. METHODS This study included 127 individuals with obesity of both gender with or without MetS as the case and control, respectively. MetS was characterized based on the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria. Anthropometric variables and blood pressure were recorded. Mineral status including serum magnesium, copper, calcium, phosphorous, and iron were measured using standard colorimetric methods. Also, the serum lipid levels, concentrations of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL), and renal function tests, including total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, and uric acid were evaluated using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. RESULTS According to our results, individuals with obesity and MetS had higher levels of waist circumference (WC) and diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.05) compared to individuals with obesity and without MetS. Moreover, individuals with obesity and MetS had higher levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), insulin, and iron (P < 0.05). In individuals with obesity and MetS, iron and albumin showed a positive relationship with LDL cholesterol and TG concentrations, respectively (P < 0.05 for all of them). Also, there was a positive association between serum magnesium and Ox- LDL in individuals with obesity with MetS. While, in individuals with obesity and without MetS, only a positive association between urea and uric acid with WC was observed (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that disturbed serum lipids in obesity-metabolic syndrome is associated with homeostatic changes in the level of minerals or proteins that are involved in their metabolism. Although, further studies are needed to better explain and clarify the underlying mechanism of observed relationships.

Associations between e-cigarette use or dual use of e-cigarette and combustible cigarette and metabolic syndrome: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Ann Epidemiol 2023; 85:93-99.e2. [PMID: 37201667 DOI: 10.1016/j.annepidem.2023.05.009] [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: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 04/30/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Examine associations between e-cigarette use or dual use of e-cigarette and combustible cigarette and metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS Cross-sectional data of 5121 U.S. adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Weighted multivariable Poisson regression models were used to examine associations between e-cigarette use or dual use and MetS and its components. Prevalence ratios (PRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated. RESULTS Current and former e-cigarette users were 30% (95% CI: 1.13, 1.50) and 15% (95% CI: 1.03, 1.28) more likely to have MetS than never e-cigarette users. Current or former e-cigarette use was also associated with elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and elevated blood pressure (AOR ranged from 1.15 to 1.42, all P < 0.05). The prevalence of MetS for dual users was 1.35-fold (95% CI: 1.15, 1.58) higher than that for never smokers and 1.21-fold (95% CI: 1.00, 1.46) higher than that for combustible cigarette-only users. Dual users were also more likely to report elevated triglycerides and reduced HDL cholesterol than never smokers or combustible cigarette-only users (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS E-cigarette use or dual use is associated with MetS. Our findings may inform tobacco control policies regarding regulations of e-cigarette use.

Predicting diabetic kidney disease for type 2 diabetes mellitus by machine learning in the real world: a multicenter retrospective study. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1184190. [PMID: 37469989 PMCID: PMC10352831 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1184190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been reported as a main microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Although renal biopsy is capable of distinguishing DKD from Non Diabetic kidney disease(NDKD), no gold standard has been validated to assess the development of DKD.This study aimed to build an auxiliary diagnosis model for type 2 Diabetic kidney disease (T2DKD) based on machine learning algorithms. Methods Clinical data on 3624 individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was gathered from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 using a multi-center retrospective database. The data fell into a training set and a validation set at random at a ratio of 8:2. To identify critical clinical variables, the absolute shrinkage and selection operator with the lowest number was employed. Fifteen machine learning models were built to support the diagnosis of T2DKD, and the optimal model was selected in accordance with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy. The model was improved with the use of Bayesian Optimization methods. The Shapley Additive explanations (SHAP) approach was used to illustrate prediction findings. Results DKD was diagnosed in 1856 (51.2 percent) of the 3624 individuals within the final cohort. As revealed by the SHAP findings, the Categorical Boosting (CatBoost) model achieved the optimal performance 1in the prediction of the risk of T2DKD, with an AUC of 0.86 based on the top 38 characteristics. The SHAP findings suggested that a simplified CatBoost model with an AUC of 0.84 was built in accordance with the top 12 characteristics. The more basic model features consisted of systolic blood pressure (SBP), creatinine (CREA), length of stay (LOS), thrombin time (TT), Age, prothrombin time (PT), platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), albumin (ALB), glucose (GLU), fibrinogen (FIB-C), red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation (RDW-SD), as well as hemoglobin A1C(HbA1C). Conclusion A machine learning-based model for the prediction of the risk of developing T2DKD was built, and its effectiveness was verified. The CatBoost model can contribute to the diagnosis of T2DKD. Clinicians could gain more insights into the outcomes if the ML model is made interpretable.

Abstract
Through these epidemiological studies, which are based on statistical and observational calculations, without visual appeal, we tracked the incidence of public health problems. In this study, our research objective was to determine and evaluate the health patterns present in a population, along with identifying the factors that contribute to the risks or provide protection against specific diseases or conditions. The progression of cardiometabolic diseases is closely linked to various chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney disease. This research study involved 578 patients, who were divided into six-year cohorts ranging from 2017 to 2022. The study examined parameters related to cardiometabolic diseases, including alcoholic hepatopathies, non-alcoholic hepatopathy, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction, other forms of chronic coronary syndrome, peripheral vascular disease, microvascular diseases, macrovascular diseases, and hypercholesterolemia, while considering age and physical activity levels. The study concluded that individuals in the age group of 41-50 years exhibited the highest propensity for cardiometabolic damage. Additionally, the promotion of a healthy and active lifestyle is increasingly gaining traction among elderly patients.

Association between urinary metal concentrations and abnormal estimated glomerular filtration rate in Chinese community-dwelling elderly: Exploring the mediating effect of triglycerides. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 259:114966. [PMID: 37182299 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Environmental metal exposure is associated with elevated triglycerides (TG) and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the relationship between metal exposure and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) remains uncertain, and the mediating effect of TG between the two is unclear. METHODS This study measured the concentrations of 14 metals in urine samples from 3752 elderly people in the community. The most relevant metals were screened by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. The relationship between combined exposure to multiple metals and abnormal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was explored using multivariate logistic regression analysis and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) analysis. Generalized linear regression models and the Karlson-Holm-Green (KHB) method were used to assess the mediating effects of TG. RESULTS In the single-metal model, calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), selenium (Se), strontium (Sr), and thallium (Tl) showed significant negative correlations with the prevalence of abnormal eGFR (all P < 0.05). In the multi-metals model, Ca, Se, and Tl continued to show significant negative correlations, while vanadium (V) and zinc (Zn) showed significant positive correlations with abnormal eGFR (all P < 0.05). The BKMR model showed a negative joint effect of the mixture of Ca, V, Zn, Se, and Tl on the prevalence of abnormal eGFR. The generalized linear regression model showed a significant positive correlation between the concentrations of Ca (β = 0.07), Zn (β = 0.07), Se (β = 0.09), and TG levels (all P < 0.05). In the mediation analysis, TG masked a 4.30% and 5.21% correlation between Ca and Se and the prevalence of eGFR abnormalities, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Urinary concentration of multiple metals is significantly associated with eGFR abnormalities, and Ca, and Se may be among the potential protective factors. TG masked some of the protective effects of Ca and Se.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can progress over time and cause renal replacement therapy. Studies showed the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and CKD. Current evidence is from cross-sectional studies. There is a need for the robust data from big prospective cohort studies with long-term follow-up. This study investigated the association between CKD and MetS after 18 years of follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHOD Among 15,255 participants aged ≥20 years at baseline (1999-2005), after exclusion of CKD, cancer, and use of corticosteroids, 8987 participants entered the study and followed at a three-year cycle up to 2018. All participants were divided into five subgroups: (1) MetS-free, (2) MetS (DM+, HTN-), (3) MetS+ (DM-, HTN+), (4) MetS+ (DM+, HTN+) and (5) MetS+ (DM-, HTN-). RESULT At baseline, the mean age of the participants was 39.8 ± 13.3 years; 4996 (55.6%) were females. CKD was developed in 2038 (22.7%) subjects during 18 years of follow-up, of whom 1107 had MetS. After adjusting for the confounding variables, MetS (DM+, HTN+) subgroup had the highest risk of CKD (HR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.32-1.71). MetS subjects with five components had a higher incidence rate of CKD (HR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.22-1.68). There was no association between high waist circumference (WC) (HR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.99-1.19) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (HR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.98-1.18) with CKD. CONCLUSION CKD significantly develops in patients with MetS. Metabolic syndrome was associated with the development of chronic kidney disease incidence. Hypertension, diabetes, and age were strong indicators, while abdominal obesity and reduced HDL were not associated with the incidence of CKD.

Long-term exposure to PM 2.5 and PM 10 and chronic kidney disease: the Beijing Health Management Cohort, from 2013 to 2018. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:17817-17827. [PMID: 36203044 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-23251-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Long-term exposure to ambient particulate pollutants (PM2.5 and PM10) may increase the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the results of previous research were limited and inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationships of PM2.5 and PM10 with CKD. This study was a cohort study based on the physical examination data of 2082 Beijing residents from 2013 to 2018 in the Beijing Health Management Cohort (BHMC). A land-use regression model was used to estimate the individual exposure concentration of air pollution based on the address provided by each participant. CKD events were identified based on self-report or medical evaluation (estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2). Finally, the associations of PM2.5 and PM10 with CKD were calculated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. During the research period, we collected potentially confounding information. After adjusting for confounders, each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 and PM10 exposure was associated with an 84% (OR: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.45, 2.33) and 37% (OR: 1.37; 95% CI: 1.15, 1.63) increased risk of CKD. Adjusting for the four common gaseous air pollutants (CO, NO2, SO2, O3), the effect of PM2.5 and PM10 on CKD was significantly enhanced, but the effect of PM10 was no longer significant in the multi-pollutant model. The results of the stratified analysis showed that PM2.5 and PM10 were more significant in males, middle-aged and elderly people over 45 years old, smokers, drinkers, BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2, and abnormal metabolic components. In conclusion, long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 and PM10 was associated with an increased risk of CKD.

Kanbay M, Copur S, Siriopol D, Yildiz AB, Berkkan M, Tuttle KR, Zoccali C. The risk for chronic kidney disease in metabolically healthy obese patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Clin Invest 2023; 53:e13878. [PMID: 36120818 DOI: 10.1111/eci.13878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2022] [Revised: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Nevertheless, the association of CKD with phenotype referred as metabolically healthy obese or overweight is unclear. In this this systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigate the relationships between obesity and CKD independent of metabolic syndrome by appraising published evidence in studies focusing on metabolically healthy obese people. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a literature search through three databases Embase (Elsevier), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Wiley) and PubMed/Medline Web of Science up to March 2022 with the following terms: "chronic kidney disease", "kidney function", "obesity", "metabolic syndrome", "metabolically healthy obesity", "metabolically healthy overweight". Metabolically unhealthy was defined an individual having at least 3 of the following: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL cholesterol and hyperglycaemia. We used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) for reporting. Prospective, retrospective, randomized and nonrandomized studies fitting the search criteria were included in our results. RESULTS Our final analysis included 16 studies with a total number of 4.965.285 participants. There is considerable heterogeneity in terms of study design, participant characteristics and number of participants across individual studies. In comparison to healthy normal weight patients, the risk was progressively higher in overweight (RR 1.29, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.32, p < 0.001) and obese patients (RR 1.47, 95% CI 1.31 to 1.65, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Metabolically healthy overweight and obese individuals have higher risk of CKD compared to individuals without weight excess.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, an urgent task of preventive medicine is to search for markers indicating the early development of cardiovascular pathology in young people in order to develop preventive measures.The aim of the study. To study macro- and microhemodynamics in young people with normal and elevated body mass index (BMI).Methods. After receiving informed consent, we evaluated microhemodynamics using Doppler ultrasound (Angiodin-PC (BIOSS, Russia); 16 MHz sensor) and macrohemodynamics by daily blood pressure monitoring (MnSDP-3 (BPLab, Peter Telegin LLC, Russia)) in students (20.05 ± 1.46 years old) who did not play sports in the period from 2019 to 2021. The subjects were divided into 2 groups according to their BMI: group 1 (control) – BMI ≤ 25 (average age 20.5 ± 0.7 years; average weight 59.47 ± 8.26 kg); group 2 – BMI ≥ 25 (average age 20.12 ± 1.73 years; average weight 83.8 ± 9.59 kg).Results. It has been proven that already at a young age, an increased BMI adversely affects the elasticity of the vascular wall. We registered a statistically significant increase in the peripheral resistance index (RI; Purcello index) (p = 0.022,) and the Stewart index (SD) (p = 0.0034) which are reflecting vascular wall remodeling. There is also a statistically significant increase in average blood pressure per day, day/night against the background of increased BMI. An insufficient degree of nocturnal decrease in systolic blood pressure is revealed, as well as an increase in pressure load and blood pressure variability.Conclusion. Since changes in the structure and function of the vessels of the microcirculatory bed are a precursor to preclinical disorders of systemic blood flow, the introduction of high-frequency Doppler ultrasound into the protocol of examination of people having metabolic syndrome will allow us to assess the functional status of large and small arteries and to identify early vascular disorders.

Pancreas fat content, insulin homeostasis and circulating endothelial microparticles in male essential hypertensive patients. J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich) 2022; 25:38-46. [PMID: 36537194 PMCID: PMC9832238 DOI: 10.1111/jch.14600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
The pancreas fat content has been poorly investigated in essential hypertension. The authors aim to relate pancreas and liver fat content with parameters measuring insulin resistance, beta-cell function and also with markers of endothelial dysfunction and platelet or endothelial cell destruction. The authors studied a group of 40 male hypertensive patients with well-controlled blood pressure, maintaining a stable weight, and having not changed their medication during the last year. Pancreas fat content was correlated with HOMA-IR (r = .616, p < .001), HOMA-S (r = -.439, p < .005), beta cell function parameter (r = .457, p < .005), and QUICKI (r = .412, p < .01), whereas liver fat was not patients in the highest quartile of pancreas fat content had more circulating endothelial microparticles than patients in the other quartiles (median 129 [94.3-200] vs. 60.9 [49.4-88.8], p = .002). However, patients in the highest quartile of the pancreas fat content distribution did not differ from the lowest in hyperemic response after ischemia nor circulating platelet microparticles count. Liver fat content was not related to any of the parameters studied. In a multivariate stepwise binary logistic regression analysis (Wald Method) circulating endothelial microparticles remain significantly associated with pancreas fat content after adjusting for confounding factors, such as tobacco, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, or metabolic syndrome. Our results reflect that in essential hypertension, pancreas fat content is superior to liver fat to study beta-cell functionality and insulin resistance. Moreover, the authors described for the first time that pancreas fat content is related to endothelial cell destruction. Further studies are needed to confirm this point.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few studies have explored correlations between metabolic syndrome (MetS) alterations and renal deterioration in longitudinal cohorts. We aim to investigate associations between MetS recovery/development and rapid estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study. SETTING This study is a secondary analysis of CHARLS. PARTICIPANTS After excluding individuals with age <45 years old, eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and clinician-reported malignant tumour, heart disease, stroke or kidney disease at baseline, 4142 participants with complete data were selected from the CHARLS during the 4-year follow-up period (2011-2015). OUTCOME MEASURES MetS were measured at 2011 and 2015 in CHARLS. A rapid eGFR decline was defined as an average annual eGFR decline of >3 mL/min/1.73 m2. The associations between rapid eGFR decline and MetS recovery/development were analysed using multivariable adjusted logistic models. RESULTS According to MetS baseline status and follow-up, participants were divided into four groups: (1) 2460 (59.4%) in the MetS-free group, (2) 361 (8.7%) in the MetS-developed group, (3) 499 (12.0%) in the MetS recovery group and (4) 822 (19.8%) in the MetS chronic group. When compared with the MetS chronic group, the multivariable adjusted OR of rapid eGFR decline in the MetS recovery group was 0.64 (OR: 0.64; 95% CI 0.45 to 0.90, p=0.01). In contrast, when compared with the MetS-free group, the multivariable adjusted OR of rapid eGFR decline in the MetS-developed group was 1.00 (OR: 1.00; 95% CI 0.73 to 1.38, p=0.98). CONCLUSIONS Over the 4-year follow-up period, we found that MetS recovery was associated with a reduced risk of rapid eGFR decline in middle-aged and older adults, while MetS occurrence was not related to rapid eGFR decline. Recovery from MetS appeared to protect against a rapid decline in eGFR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with HIV (PWH) in Latin America are at a greater risk of developing comorbidities due to the increasing burden of obesity and metabolic syndrome in the region. We explored the associations between social, cardiovascular and HIV-related risk factors with metabolic syndrome in PWH from Guatemala. METHODS Cross-sectional study analyzing demographic, clinical and laboratory data from PWH. Metabolic syndrome diagnosis and components are defined by the harmonized Joint Scientific Statement criteria. Data were collected from July 2019 to March 2020 and analyzed using correlations and logistic regression. RESULTS Median age was 39 years [IQR 31-48], 56.8% of participants were male and 31.5% (n = 266, 95% CI 0.28-0.34) had metabolic syndrome. Age (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.03, 95% CI 1.02-1.05, p <0.001), urban dweller (aOR: 1.48, 95% CI 1.00-2.18, p = 0.049), low physical activity (aOR: 1.45, 95% CI 1.01-2.08, p = 0.046), hyperuricemia (aOR: 3.31, 95% CI 1.93-5.67, p <0.001), current CD4+ T cell count < 200 cells/mm3 (aOR: 1.96, 95% CI 1.19-3.23, p = 0.009), 6 months of efavirenz (aOR: 1.89, 95% CI 1.29-2.77, p = 0.001), and obesity (aOR: 37.0, 95% CI 7.70-178.2, p < 0.001) were independently associated with metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in this study was high and driven mainly by social and cardiovascular risk factors such as age, urban dwelling, obesity, hyperuricemia and low physical activity. Efavirenz use and CD4 count were the only HIV-related factors associated with metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome is a growing twenty-first century pandemic associated with multiple clinical comorbidities ranging from cardiovascular diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and polycystic ovary syndrome to kidney dysfunction. A novel area of research investigates the concept of fatty kidney in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus or metabolic syndrome. AIM To review the most updated literature on fatty kidney and provide future research, diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives on a disease increasingly affecting the contemporary world. MATERIALS AND METHOD We performed an extensive literature search through three databases including Embase (Elsevier) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Wiley) and PubMed/Medline Web of Science in November 2021 by using the following terms and their combinations: 'fatty kidney', 'ectopic fat', 'chronic kidney disease', 'cardiovascular event', 'cardio-metabolic risk', 'albuminuria' and 'metabolic syndrome'. Each study has been individually assessed by the authors. RESULTS Oxidative stress and inflammation, Klotho deficiency, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and disruption of cellular energy balance appear to be the main pathophysiological mechanisms leading to tissue damage following fat accumulation. Despite the lack of large-scale comprehensive studies in this novel field of research, current clinical trials demonstrate fatty kidney as an independent risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular events. CONCLUSION The requirement for future studies investigating the pathophysiology, clinical outcomes and therapeutics of fatty kidney is clear.

Oral Cholecalciferol Supplementation in Sahara Black People with Chronic Kidney Disease Modulates Cytokine Storm, Oxidative Stress Damage and Athero-Thromboembolic Risk. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14112285. [PMID: 35684085 PMCID: PMC9182799 DOI: 10.3390/nu14112285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Revised: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25OHD3) deficiency in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with immune system dysfunction (pro-inflammatory cytokines storm) through macrophages renal infiltration, oxidative stress (OxS) damage and athero-thromboembolic risk. Conversely, cholecalciferol supplementation (25OHD-S) prevents kidney fibrosis by inhibition of vascular calcification and nephrotic apoptosis (nephrons reduction). The objective of this study was to investigate the pleiotropic effects of 25OHD-S on immunomodulation, antioxidant status and in protecting against thromboembolic events in deficiency CKD Black and White individuals living in the Southern Sahara (SS). The oral 25OHD-S was evaluated in 60,000 IU/month/36 weeks versus in 2000 IU/day/24 weeks in Black (n = 156) and White (n = 150). Total serum vitamin D was determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. All biomarkers of pro-inflammatory cytokines (PIC) were assessed by ELISA tests. OxS markers were assessed by Randox kits. Homocysteine and lipoproteine (a) were evaluated by biochemical methods as biomarkers of atherothromboembolic risk. All statistical analyses were performed with Student’s t-test and one-way ANOVA. The Pearson test was used to calculate the correlation coefficient. The means will be significantly different at a level of p value < 0.05. Multiple logistic regressions were performed using Epi-info and Statview software. Vitamin D deficiency alters the PIC profile, OxS damage and atherothrombogenic biomarkers in both SS groups in the same manner; however, these disorders are more acute in Black compared to White SS individuals. The results showed that the serum 25OHD3 concentrations became normal (>75 nmol/L or >30 ng/mL) in the two groups. We have shown that the dose and duration of 25OHD-S treatment are not similar in Black SS residents compared to White SS subjects, whilst the same inhabit the south Sahara environment. It appears that a high dose intermittent over a long period (D60: 36 weeks) was more efficient in Black people; while a lower dose for a short time is sufficient (D2: 24 weeks) in their White counterparts. The oral 25OHD-S attenuates PIC overproduction and OxS damage, but does not reduce athero-thromboembolic risk, particularly in Black SS residents.

SAGE Open Med 2022; 10:20503121221089442. [PMID: 35465636 PMCID: PMC9019378 DOI: 10.1177/20503121221089442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The main aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to provide summarized evidence on the prevalence of chronic kidney disease and associated factors among patients with chronic illness in Ethiopia. Method: Databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Cochrane library, and ScienceDirect were searched. In addition, gray literatures were searched manually from university repositories. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist was used to select potential studies. Microsoft Excel 2013 sheet template was used to extract data. The quality of included studies was assessed by utilizing the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. STATA software version 14.0 is used to compute the estimated pooled prevalence and associated factors of chronic kidney disease. Result: Twelve articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included. The pooled estimate of chronic kidney disease among patients with chronic illnesses in Ethiopia is 21.71% (95% confidence interval: 17.67, 25.74). The highest prevalence of chronic kidney disease among patients with chronic illnesses is from Oromia (32.55% (confidence interval: 19.91, 45.19)). Glomerular filtration rate showed a comparable pooled prevalence from Cockroft-Gault and MDRD methods; 22.38% (confidence interval: 15.83, 28.92), 22.18 (confidence interval: 18.01, 26.34), respectively. Hypertensives become more likely to have chronic kidney disease compared with normotensive patients, (odds ratio = 3.01, 95% confidence interval: 1.33, 6.81). Conclusion: Prevalence of chronic kidney disease among chronic illness patients was significantly high. Hypertension is significantly associated with chronic kidney disease. Hence, we recommend that continuous screening of possible risk factors and proper follow-up and management strategies should be designed.

Abstract
The development of metabolic derangements as a result of HIV treatment has been an important area of research since the introduction of zidovudine in the 1980's. Antiretroviral therapy has intensely evolved in the last three decades, with new drugs gradually incorporated into everyday clinical practice. With the life expectancy of people living with HIV rapidly approaching that of their HIV-negative counterparts, the influence of these antiretrovirals on the development of the components of the metabolic syndrome remains of major interest to clinicians and their patients. In this review, we aimed to discuss the impact of cART on components of the metabolic syndrome, i.e., weight, plasma lipid levels, plasma glucose levels, and blood pressure, describing the influence of cART classes and of individual antiretrovirals. We also aimed to outline the limitations of the research conducted to date and the remaining knowledge gaps in this area.

Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2022; 15:839-848. [PMID: 35321352 PMCID: PMC8935083 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s353305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 04/09/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the correlation between metabolic syndrome components and chronic kidney disease (CKD) among a community population aged 40 years and older in Southern China. PATIENTS AND METHODS From December 2017 to March 2018, 1969 participants (male n = 715, female n = 1254) aged 40 years and older were recruited in Southern China for a cross-sectional survey. A logistic regression model was established to analyze the correlation between metabolic syndrome components and CKD. RESULTS Among the 1969 subjects, 407 (20.7%) were CKD patients, including 152 males (prevalence rate 21.3%) and 255 females (prevalence rate 20.3%). Anthropometric data (waist circumference, age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure), serum/plasma data (serum creatinine, serum uric acid, fasting plasma glucose, C-reactive protein, serum triglyceride), urinary and other findings (body mass index, waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratios, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance) were significantly higher in patients with than without CKD (P < 0.05). Metabolic syndrome and at least some of its components were statistically significant risk factors for CKD in models with and without adjustment for diabetes, obesity and hypertension. CONCLUSION Metabolic syndrome and its single or combined components are independently associated with CKD in community populations aged 40 years and older. The correlation between some components and CKD remained significant in both non-diabetic and non-obese subjects. Correlations between components of metabolic syndrome and CKD show that it is feasible and necessary to carry out targeted screening and intervention tests in people aged 40 and over.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is most commonly associated with aortic stiffness, but the importance of nondiabetic glucometabolic status for aortic stiffness (AS) in hypertension patients is unclear. METHODS We included 1065 hypertension patients without diabetes in a cohort study. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) >10 m/s can broadly be defined as AS. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis are used to reveal the relationship between elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) and AS. RESULTS The 1065 hypertension patients (mean age 60 years) included 48% male, 22% smokers, 94.3% with anti-hypertensive drugs, 17.9% with AS, 80% with abdominal obesity, 42% with elevated triglycerides (TG), and 27% with elevated FBG. The mean values for office systolic blood pressure (SBP)/diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and central SBP/DBP were 130/85mmHg and 132/86mmHg. Mean cfPWV was 8.7m/s. Multiple regression analysis revealed that age, office SBP, and elevated FBG were independently related to AS in the whole hypertension. Elevated FBG had 1.6-fold risk of AS in hypertension patients compared with below the cutoff. In subgroup analysis, elevated FBG increased 2.68-fold risk for AS in those without metabolic syndrome (MS), not in MS. The area under curve (AUC) of office SBP was higher than central SBP for AS in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. CONCLUSION We found that elevated FBG was an independent risk factor for AS in hypertension patients without MS, although there was a high proportion of abdominal obesity. Office SBP was better than central SBP to assess AS in community hypertension.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to quantify the proportion of participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associated metabolic risk factors in a middle-aged and elderly population in Guishan District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled residents aged 50–90 years living in one community. All participants received a standardized personal interview, including a structured questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and blood samples collected for laboratory testing. CKD was defined as the presence of kidney damage (urine albumin-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate the risk factors associated with CKD. Results: A total of 400 participants were enrolled. The overall proportion of participants with CKD was 20.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 16.54–24.46%). The proportions of participants with CKD among those aged 50–64, 65–74, and 75 years and over were 17.7, 18.8, and 35.7%, respectively (p = 0.01). Multiple logistic regression model revealed that elevated blood pressure (odds ratio [OR] = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.16–4.30), hyperglycemia (OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 1.64–5.00), hyperuricemia (OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.14–1.69), and metabolic syndrome (OR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.31–4.06) were significantly associated with CKD. Conclusions: The prevalence of CKD in the study population was high. Hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, and metabolic syndrome are significantly associated with CKD in a middle-aged and elderly population in Taiwan.

[PMID: 34521364 PMCID: PMC8442452 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-021-11686-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Hypertension is highly prevalent and is one of the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular outcomes. Isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH), however, tends to be ignored due to insufficient recognition. We sought to depict the clinical manifestation of IDH and isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) to find a more efficient way to improve the management. Methods Patients with primary hypertension aged over 18 years were investigated from all over the country using convenience sampling during 2017–2019. IDH was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg. ISH was defined as SBP ≥ 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mmHg. Results A total of 8548 patients were screened, and 8475 participants were included. The average age was 63.67 ± 12.78 years, and males accounted for 54.4%. Among them, 361 (4.3%) had IDH, and 2096 had ISH (24.7%). Patients with IDH (54.84 ± 13.21 years) were much younger. Aging turned out to be negatively associated with IDH but positively associated with ISH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed BMI was a significant risk factor for IDH (OR 1.30, 95%CI 1.05–1.61, p = 0.018), but not for ISH (OR 1.05, 95%CI 0.95–1.16, p = 0.358). Moreover, smoking was significantly associated with IDH (OR 1.36, 95%CI 1.04–1.78, p = 0.026) but not with ISH (OR 1.04, 95%CI 0.90–1.21, p = 0.653). Conclusions Patients with IDH were much younger, and the prevalence decreased with aging. BMI and smoking were remarkably associated with IDH rather than ISH. Keeping fit and giving up smoking might be particularly efficient in the management of young patients with IDH. Trial registration NCT03862183, retrospectively registered on March 5, 2019.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Treatment nonadherence is a major problem in the management of hypertension. There are many factors influencing the treatment adherence of hypertensive patients. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of social support on the treatment adherence in hypertension in China. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 453 patients with hypertension hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Xi'an, China were invited to participate in this cross-sectional study. Data were collected by "modified Chinese Hill-Bone compliance to high blood pressure therapy scale" and "Chinese Family Support Scale". RESULTS It was found that 31.1% of patients were adherent with their antihypertensive treatments. Gender, duration of antihypertensive drug used, number of antihypertensive drugs used and social support were independently associated with hypertensive treatment adherence. Social support was strongly and positively associated with the hypertensive treatment adherence (P<0.001, OR = 0.752, 95% CI: 0.678-0.833). Family social support was provided to hypertensive patients mainly through their nuclear family, that is spouses, partner or children. Treatment adherence of hypertensive patients was positively correlated to the three subgroups of social support. It was found that social support provided to patients from social resource (r=0.568) had greater impact on treatment adherence than that from kinship (r=0.364) and nuclear family (r=0.262). CONCLUSION Treatment adherence of patients with hypertension was found to increase positively as their social support increased. In addition to the support given to patients from nuclear family members, other social support especially professional agencies and community organizations should also be promoted and strengthened.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors that may promote the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of MetS and its components and, to study their association with CKD among Moroccan adult population living in an agricultural province. Materials and Methods: The study involved 210 adult participants of 18 and over years, of both sexes, sampled from urban and rural areas of Sidi Bennour province in Morocco. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, weight, height, and waist circumference were measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Blood total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, and serum creatinine were determined. Subsequent glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated by the modification of diet in renal disease formula and the CKD was defined by an estimated GFR (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The diagnosis of MetS was based on the National Cholesterol Education Program/Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP ATP III) report. Results: The mean age of the participants was 54.18 ± 13.45 years, the prevalence of MetS and CKD were 38% and 4.4%, respectively. Abdominal obesity was the strongest risk factor of MetS among the studied population (71%), followed by increased fasting plasma glucose (40.5%), high blood pressure (35.2%), hypercholesterolemia (31.0%), and hypertriglyceridemia (23.8%). The prevalence of these comorbid factors increased with age (P = 0.000), BMI (P = 0.000), and decreased with education level (P = 0.012). The presence of MetS was significantly associated with decreased eGFR (P = 0.022), hence the prevalence of CKD was markedly greater in subjects with MetS than those without. Conclusions: Our finding indicates that MetS is a serious public health problem in the study population and that its individual components are involved in decreasing the eGFR and the progression of renal dysfunction. The study results support the need of the development of a strategy to control and prevent worsening of the MetS individual components and development of CKD.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome is a term that defines the complex bidirectional nature of the interaction between cardiac and renal disease. It is well established that patients with kidney disease have higher incidence of cardiovascular comorbidities and that renal dysfunction is a significant threat to the prognosis of patients with cardiac disease. Fibrosis is a common characteristic of organ injury progression that has been proposed not only as a marker but also as an important driver of the pathophysiology of cardiorenal syndromes. Due to the relevance of fibrosis, its study might give insight into the mechanisms and targets that could potentially be modulated to prevent fibrosis development. The aim of this review was to summarize some of the pathophysiological pathways involved in the fibrotic damage seen in cardiorenal syndromes, such as inflammation, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress, which are known to be triggers and mediators of fibrosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to investigate and improve the integrated management of hypertension in general and community hospitals in China. PATIENTS AND METHODS We carried out a cross-sectional study in 90 centers from 15 cities in China from 2017 to 2018. Patients with primary hypertension were included. RESULTS Of the total 4286 patients included, 43.2% of them controlled blood pressure (BP) below 140/90 mmHg while only 11.5% controlled BP below 130/80 mmHg. The control rate of low-density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) in patients with concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD), diabetes (DM), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) was 24.7%, 49.4%, and 40.6%, respectively. Thirty-one percent of the DM patients had HbA1c levels greater than 8% while 21.7% of the non-DM patients had HbA1c≥6.5%. The control rate of body mass index (BMI) was 54.4% in men and 59.8% in women. As compared to patients from community hospitals, patients from general hospitals had poorer control of BP<140/90 mmHg (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.55-0.73, p<0.001), comparatively better attainment of LDL-C, particularly <1.8 mmol/L in CAD (OR 3.25, 95% CI 2.02-5.24, p<0.001), similar control of HbA1c < 8.0% in diabetes (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.41-1.00, p=0.052) and comparatively worse achievement of BMI<25 kg/m2 (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.63-0.83, p<0.001). CONCLUSION The integrated management of hypertension needs to be improved. Besides LDL-C, the management of BP, blood glucose (BG), and BMI need to be strengthened in not only community hospitals but also general hospitals.

Abstract
Objective Metabolic syndrome (MetS) involves multiple metabolic disorders and seriously affects human health. Identification of key biological factors associated with MetS incidence is therefore important. We explored the association between MetS and the biochemical profiles of Chinese adults in Shenyang City in a nested case-control study. Methods We included adult participants who underwent physical examination at our hospital for 2 consecutive years. Participants’ biochemical profiles and other MetS components were tested and monitored continuously. Propensity score matching was used to adjust confounding factors between participants with and without MetS. We analyzed the association between incidence of MetS and the biochemical profiles of participants. Results Of 5702 participants who underwent physical examination between 1 January 2017 and 1 December 2018, 538 had confirmed newly developed MetS. After successfully matching 436 pairs of participants, mean cystatin C (Cys-C) level was significantly higher in the MetS group than in the non-MetS group. Logistic regression analysis indicated that age (years) and γ-glutamate transpeptidase, creatinine, uric acid, and Cys-C levels were significantly associated with MetS incidence; among these, the odds ratio of Cys-C was highest (3.03; 95% confidence interval, 1.02–9.00). Conclusions Cys-C levels were significantly associated with the incidence of MetS among Chinese adults.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated associations of blood pressure (BP) with albuminuria and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in young, middle and older aged patients with hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS & METHODS Study participants were treated patients with hypertension or diabetes, enrolled in a China nationwide registry. The 2510 patients were classified into young (<45 years, n = 345), middle (45-64 years, n = 1383) and older (≥65 years, n = 782) age groups. Clinic BP was measured three times consecutively on each of the two clinic visits. These six readings were averaged for analyses. Albuminuria was defined as a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio of ≥30 mg/g. LVH was assessed by the electrocardiogram (ECG) Cornell product and voltage methods. RESULTS The prevalence of albuminuria and ECG-LVH was 17.8 and 6.5%, respectively. Mean (±SD) systolic/diastolic BP was 132.0 ± 16.5/85.2 ± 11.9 mmHg, 136.8 ± 17.9/81.7 ± 11.2 mmHg, and 139.8 ± 16.7/75.8 ± 10.4 mmHg in the young, middle and older age groups. In the young age group, the prevalence of albuminuria increased from 8.8% in systolic/diastolic BP <120/80 mmHg to 14.6, 16.0% and 16.5% in 120-129/80-84, 130-139/85-89 and ≥140/90 mmHg, respectively. The corresponding values were 8.9, 7.0, 18.1 and 22.2%, respectively, in the middle age group, and 21.2, 15.5, 16.4 and 24.4%, respectively, in the older age group. Adjusted analyses confirmed the J-shaped relation between BP and albuminuria in the older but not young age group. The prevalence of ECG-LVH was significantly (p for trend ≤0.04) higher with increasing BP similarly in all age groups. CONCLUSIONS The association between BP and organ damage seems to differ in young, middle and older aged patients for albuminuria but not ECG-LVH.

Abstract
Obesity is critically associated with the development of insulin resistance and related cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Several strategies for weight loss have been developed but most of them exhibit a post-intervention rebound effect. Here, we aimed to design combined weight-loss strategies of caloric restriction, physical exercise, and administration of a CB1 receptor blocker to inhibit food intake that also accomplish the objectives of lost-weight maintenance and improvement of cardiovascular and renal function. Diet-induced obesity (DIO) was generated in Sprague Dawley rats for 12 weeks to test the effects of single or combined strategies (i.e. caloric restriction, mixed training protocol, and/or administration of appetite suppressant) on caloric intake, body weight, cardiovascular and renal functionality resulting from a weight-loss intervention period of 3 weeks followed by 6 weeks of weight maintenance. Consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) caused a significant increase in body weight (5th week of the experimental period) and led to the development of insulin resistance, cardiovascular, and renal alterations. The different interventions tested, resulted in a significant body weight loss and improved glucose metabolism, aerobic capacity, electrocardiographic parameters, vascular expression of adhesion molecules and inflammatory mediators, and renal functionality, reaching values similar to the control normocaloric group or even improving them. Successful maintenance of lost weight was achieved along a 6-week maintenance period in addition to adequate health status. In conclusion, the weight-loss and maintenance intervention strategies tested were efficient at reversing the obesity-related alterations in body weight, glucose metabolism, aerobic capacity, cardiovascular and renal functionality. The beneficial action was very consistent for caloric restriction and physical exercise, whereas administration of a CB1 receptor blocker complemented the effects of the prior interventions in some parameters like body weight or aerobic capacity, and showed specific actions in renal status, increasing glomerular filtration rate and diuresis. Overall, the novelty of our study relies on the easy implementation of combined strategies for effective weight management that resulted in significant health benefits.
