Background: The increased risks for cardiovascular comorbidities and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in populations with normal weight obesity (NWO) have not been well-identified. We aimed to study their associations in an adult population in South China.
Methods: Based on the CVD prevalence of 4% in Shenzhen and a calculated sample size of 6,000, a cross-sectional study with a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was conducted in Shenzhen City.
Background: A significant proportion of hypertensive patients also suffer from comorbid dyslipidemia, which critically influences their treatment outcomes and overall prognosis. Given its implications, the lipid profiles of hypertensive individuals warrant increased attention for more effective clinical management.
Methods: We analyzed data from 92,443 hypertensive patients registered at primary community health institutions in 2021.
Background And Aims: Data are limited on whether several easily measured indices serve as effective tools for Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment in hypertensive patients. This study aimed to assess the associations of metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and visceral adiposity index (VAI) with CVD risk in hypertensive patients.
Methods And Results: Our data were drawn from the medical records of primary-care institutions in China.
Article Synopsis
- Managing weight is crucial for people with hypertension, as weight changes can impact their risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), stroke, and heart attacks (myocardial infarction).
- A study of over 221,000 individuals showed that significant weight loss (≥10%) and weight gain (especially >10%) are linked to higher risks of CVD and other serious health issues.
- The findings emphasize the need for ongoing weight management and monitoring in hypertensive patients to reduce the likelihood of adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
Background: Evidence on the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and health care utilisation among Chinese older adults is scarce. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of HGS with health care utilisation and to identify whether these associations varied by gender.
Methods: The analytic sample of this prospective cohort study included 6007 Chinese older adults (≥60 years) from 2011 to 2018 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.
Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the serious complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Many studies have identified the risk factors associated with DR, but there is not much evidence on the importance of these factors for DR. This study aimed to investigate the associated factors for patients with type 2 DM (T2DM) and calculate the importance of the identified factors.

Materials And Methods: A total of 3 916 214 Chinese adults were enrolled in a nationwide population cohort covering all 31 provinces of mainland China. The CVAI was calculated based on age, body mass index, waist circumference, and triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations.
Few studies reported the association between serum uric acid and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in China's coastal residents. We aimed to examine the association between serum uric acid and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome as well as its components in adults and elderly from Shenzhen (a China's coastal city). We conducted a survey in a community-based household population in Shenzhen, collecting data about 4049 participants aged 20-69 years.

Methods: We enrolled 2210 adults aged 18-70 years from two independent cross-sectional studies conducted in 2009 and 2015.
Objectives: Few studies reported the clustering of cardiovascular disease (CVD) biological risk factors among older adults. The objective of this study was to characterise the clustering of CVD biological risk factors among adults aged 65 or older in Shenzhen city, China.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
