Article Synopsis
- The review examines the stability of SARS-CoV-2 on various surfaces, highlighting that while concerns about surface transmission exist, there is currently no direct evidence supporting this method of transmission.
- Factors like temperature, relative humidity, and initial virus concentration significantly affect the virus's half-life on surfaces, which ranges from 30 minutes to 5 days depending on material type and conditions.
- Recommendations include implementing appropriate disinfection protocols based on the virus's stability and suggest future research to better understand the entire transmission process to enhance public health measures against COVID-19.
Background: Insulin resistance (IR) plays an important role in the progression of hypertension (HTN); therefore, early identification of IR is clinically important for preventing HTN. Our study aims to explore the relationship between the metabolic score for IR (METS-IR) and HTN in Chinese population who maintained non-overweight.
Methods: A total of 4678 adults who underwent annual health check-up in our institution from 2010 to 2017, did not have HTN at the first check-up and maintained non-overweight at follow-up were selected as subjects.
