Article Synopsis
- * A cohort of 5143 patients with type 2 diabetes was followed for one year to assess factors predicting the onset of MASLD, with measurements including body weight, blood sugar levels, and liver markers.
- * Results showed that 28.2% of patients had MASLD initially; while some improved, a significant number retained the condition, indicating that tools like Hepatic Steatosis Index, Lipidic Accumulation Product, and metabolic screening could help identify those at risk.
Purpose: The COVID-19 Fear Scale (FCV-19S) allows screening in general population; however, there is no specific instrument in our population for screening in the perinatal period that considers fear related with COVID-19 and offspring well-being. We aimed to validate the FCV-19S modified for application during the perinatal period.
Materials And Methods: Analytical, cross-sectional design.
Introduction: The fear of COVID-19 scale (FCV-19S) is used to screen for symptoms of anxiety and depression related to COVID-19 in the general population; it consists of seven questions with Likert-type answers (1-5). Our objective was to validate FCV-19S Spanish version in the Mexican general population.
Material And Methods: Analytical, cross-sectional design.
Context: Little is known about the association between haptoglobin level and cardiometabolic traits. A previous genome-wide association study identified rs2000999 in the HP gene as the stronger genetic contributor to serum haptoglobin level in European populations.
Objective And Design: We investigated the association of HP rs2000999 with serum haptoglobin and childhood and adult obesity in up to 540/697 and 592/691 Mexican cases and controls, respectively.
