Association between human papillomaviruses, metabolic syndrome, and all-cause death; analysis of the U.S. NHANES 2003-2004 to 2015-2016.

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection, attributed to 4.5% of all cancers worldwide. Co-infection with the metabolic syndrome (MetS), a common cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, has been shown to increase the persistence of HPV.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of treadmill desks on energy expenditure, sitting time and cardiometabolic health in adults.

Background: As the health risks of sedentary working environments become more clear, greater emphasis on the implementation of walking interventions to reduce sitting time is needed. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigate the role of treadmill-desk interventions on energy expenditure, sitting time, and cardiometabolic health in adults with sedentary occupations.

Methods: Relevant studies published in English were identified using CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases up to December 2020.

Trends in Serum AST-to-ALT Ratio Among U.S. Adults: Analysis of the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Using nationally representative data, we examined the age-, sex-, and ethnic-specific variation in the ratio of serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase (AST-to-ALT ratio or AAR) of U.S. adults (20+ years).

Associations between elevated kidney and liver biomarker ratios, metabolic syndrome and all-cause and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality: analysis of the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Background: We examined the relationship between ratios of select biomarkers of kidney and liver function on all-cause and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality, both in isolation, and in combination with metabolic syndrome (MetS), among adults (20 + years, n = 10,604).

Methods: Data was derived from the U.S.
