Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how weight changes from young adulthood to middle age affect the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in diabetic adults in the U.S.
  • Researchers analyzed data from the NHANES survey covering a span of 29.4 years, focusing on adults aged 40-79 who provided information on their weight at age 25 and 10 years before enrollment.
  • They found that weight loss was linked to a lower risk of CVD and mortality compared to maintaining obesity, with a significant potential reduction in CVD cases if individuals had maintained a non-obese status throughout their lives.

Purpose: Diet rich in antioxidant may protect against chronic respiratory disease (CRD), but few studies have evaluated the association between composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and CRD. The study aimed to examine the association of CDAI with the risk of CRD and all-cause mortality in CRD patients from the US.

Methods: Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2003-2018.

Background: Obesity, a global health problem, is causally implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease. Bariatric surgeries are effective treatment options for obesity; however, the effectiveness of different bariatric surgeries on cardiac structure and function is not fully understood. We undertook a systematic review and network meta-analysis to comprehensively assess this effectiveness.

Background: Epidemiological studies linking metabolic syndrome (MetS) and exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are limited, and the observations gleaned thus far are inconclusive. The study was performed to explore the association of serum PFASs both singly and in a mixed manner with MetS, and meanwhile to examine whether this association was mediated by serum albumin in a US national population.

Methods: Total 8108 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007-2018 were included.

Importance: Obesity, especially visceral obesity, is an established risk factor associated with all-cause mortality. However, the inadequacy of conventional anthropometric measures in assessing fat distribution necessitates a more comprehensive indicator, body roundness index (BRI), to decipher its population-based characteristics and potential association with mortality risk.

Objective: To evaluate the temporal trends of BRI among US noninstitutionalized civilian residents and explore its association with all-cause mortality.
