Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Previous studies have reported the gender-specific association between general and central obesity measures, using snapshot assessments, and mortality events. This study seeks to further explore this link by examining how the longitudinal cumulative burden and variability of obesity measures from midlife to later-life impact mortality events in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study population, specifically in relation to gender differences. SUBJECTS/METHODS Using data from the ARIC study, a total of 7615 (4360 women) participants free of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and early mortality events were included in the data analysis. Longitudinal cumulative burden (estimated by the area under the curve (AUC) using a quadratic mixed-effects method) and variability (calculated according to average successive variability (ASV)) were considered as exposures, separately and all together. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to estimate multivariable-adjusted standardized hazard ratios. RESULTS The mean age was 62.4 and the median follow-up was 16.9 years. In men, AUCs of waist-related obesity measures, and also ASVs of all obesity measures were associated with increased all-cause mortality risk. In women, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio AUCs were associated with increased all-cause mortality risk. Regarding cardiovascular mortality, all adiposity measures ASVs in both genders and waist-related obesity measures AUCs in men were associated with increased risk. Significant gender differences were found for the associations between cumulative and variability of waist-to-hip ratio for all-cause mortality and all adiposity measures ASVs for cardiovascular mortality risk with higher impact among men. CONCLUSIONS Cumulative burden and variability in general and central obesity measures were associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities among men. In women, general obesity measures variability, as well as cumulative and variability of central adiposity measure, increased all-cause mortality risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Metabolic disease in children is increasing worldwide and predisposes a wide array of chronic comorbid conditions with severe impacts on quality of life. Tools for early detection are needed to promptly intervene to prevent or slow the development of these long-term complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS No clinically available tools are currently in widespread use that can predict the onset of metabolic diseases in pediatric patients. Here, we use interpretable deep learning, leveraging longitudinal clinical measurements, demographical data, and diagnosis codes from electronic health record data from a large integrated health system to predict the onset of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and metabolic syndrome in pediatric cohorts. RESULTS The cohort included 49 517 children with overweight or obesity aged 2-18 (54.9% male, 73% Caucasian), with a median follow-up time of 7.5 years and mean body mass index (BMI) percentile of 88.6%. Our model demonstrated area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) accuracies up to 0.87, 0.79, and 0.79 for predicting T2D, metabolic syndrome, and prediabetes, respectively. Whereas most risk calculators use only recently available data, incorporating longitudinal data improved AUCs by 13.04%, 11.48%, and 11.67% for T2D, syndrome, and prediabetes, respectively, versus models using the most recent BMI (P < 2.2 × 10-16). DISCUSSION Despite most risk calculators using only the most recent data, incorporating longitudinal data improved the model accuracies because utilizing trajectories provides a more comprehensive characterization of the patient's health history. Our interpretable model indicated that BMI trajectories were consistently identified as one of the most influential features for prediction, highlighting the advantages of incorporating longitudinal data when available.

Abstract
AIM To assess the potential heterogeneity in cardiovascular (CV), renal and safety outcomes of canagliflozin between Whites and Asians, as well as these outcomes in each subgroup. MATERIALS AND METHODS The CANVAS Program enrolled 10 142 patients with type 2 diabetes, comprising 78.34% Whites and 12.66% Asians. CV, renal and safety outcomes were comprehensively analysed using Cox regression models, while intermediate markers were assessed using time-varying mixed-effects models. Racial heterogeneity was evaluated by adding a treatment-race interacion term. RESULTS Canagliflozin showed no significant racial disparities in the majority of the CV, renal and safety outcomes. The heterogeneity (p = .04) was observed on all-cause mortality, with reduced risk in Whites (hazard ratio 0.84; 95% confidence interval 0.71-0.99) and a statistically non-significant increased risk in Asians (hazard ratio 1.64; 95% confidence interval 0.94-2.90). There was a significant racial difference in acute kidney injury (p = .04) and a marginally significant racial heterogeneity for the composite of hospitalization for heart failure and CV death (p = .06) and serious renal-related adverse events (p = .07). CONCLUSION Canagliflozin reduced CV and renal risks similarly in Whites and Asians; however, there was a significant racial discrepancy in all-cause mortality. This distinction may be attributed to the fact that Asian patients exhibited diminished CV protection effects and more renal adverse events with canagliflozin, potentially resulting from the smaller reductions in weight and uric acid. These findings highlight the importance of investigating the impact of race on treatment response to sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and provide more precise treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the association of variability in metabolic parameters such as total cholesterol concentrations (TC), uric acid (UA), body mass index (BMI), visceral adiposity index (VAI) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) with incident type 2 diabetes (T2D) and whether variability in these metabolic parameters has additive effects on the risk of T2D. METHODS Based on the Beijing Functional Community Cohort, 4392 participants who underwent three health examinations (2015, 2016, and 2017) were followed up for incident T2D until the end of 2021. Variability in metabolic parameters from three health examinations were assessed using the coefficient of variation, standard deviation, variability independent of the mean, and average real variability. High variability was defined as the highest quartile of variability index. Participants were grouped according to the number of high-variability metabolic parameters. Cox proportional hazards models were performed to assess the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for incident T2D. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 3.91 years, 249 cases of incident T2D were identified. High variability in TC, BMI, VAI and SBP was significantly associated with higher risks of incident T2D. As for UA, significant multiplicative interaction was found between variability in UA and variability in other four metabolic parameters for incident T2D. The risk of T2D significantly increased with the increasing numbers of high-variability metabolic parameters. Compared with the group with low variability for 5 parameters, the HR (95% CI) for participants with 1-2, 3, 4-5 high-variability metabolic parameters were 1.488 (1.051, 2.107), 2.036 (1.286, 3.222) and 3.017 (1.549, 5.877), respectively. Similar results were obtained in various sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS High variability of TC, BMI, VAI and SBP were independent predictors of incident T2D, respectively. There was a graded association between the number of high-variability metabolic parameters and incident T2D.

Abstract
Body weight is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). More recently, weight variability, i.e. the oscillation of body weight over time, has also been suggested to be independently associated with development of CVD and mortality in subjects without diabetes and in people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T2D). In T2D, weight variability emerged as one of the most relevant risk factors for CVD and it was suggested to interact with the variability of other risk factors to identify people at high cardiovascular risk. In addition, weight variability seems also to confer a higher risk for microvascular complications in people with T2D. While the exact mechanism linking weight variability to CVD is unknown, evidence from experimental models suggests that weight cycling promote an enduring pro-inflammatory program in the adipose tissue. Here we review the clinical evidence relative to the association of weight variability with CVD and microvascular complications of diabetes. We then briefly summarize the alterations proposed to explain this association. Finally, we synthesize the possible strategies, e.g. specific dietetic regimens and available glucose-lowering drugs, to minimize weight fluctuations.
