Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on mental disorders, specifically depression, among the elderly population in China, highlighting the need for attention to social health.
- Data was collected from 3,757 community-dwelling adults aged 60 and older using face-to-face interviews and standardized questionnaires to assess social health and depressive symptoms.
- Results showed that 25.92% of participants had depressive symptoms, with better social health linked to a lower risk of depression, suggesting that social health assessments could help identify vulnerable individuals needing intervention.
Introduction: It has been shown that B type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level can indicate cardiovascular disease. However, the association between BNP and metabolic risk factors is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and metabolic risk factors.

- The study aimed to evaluate how non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) relates to metabolic risk factors and brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in a large group of subjects.
- A total of 8,603 participants were assessed, with significant differences found in baPWV values between individuals with NAFLD and those without, highlighting a gender difference in results as well.
- The findings showed that higher levels of NAFLD were associated with increased percentages of high baPWV, particularly with notable odds ratios indicating a stronger association in women compared to men across various metabolic syndrome factors.
Objective: To investigate the beneficial impact of programmed hyperuricemic intervention upon the alterations of metabolic parameters and the prevention of cardiovascular morbid change.
Methods: A total of 531 subjects of hyperuricemia were randomly divided into two groups: intervention group and control group. There was a 36-month follow-up by this prospective study.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and metabolic syndrome (MS) in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Methods: A total of 26527 subjects who received medical health checkup in our hospital from January 2005 to July 2007 were enrolled in the study. The diagnosis of fatty liver was based on ultrasound imaging.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of a short messaging service (SMS) text messaging and phone reminder to improve attendance rates at a health promotion center.
Methods: A total of 1 859 participants who had scheduled appointments in the health promotion center of our hospital from April 2007 to May 2007 were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned into 3 groups: control (no reminder) group, SMS text messaging reminder group and telephone reminder group. Attendance rates and costs of interventions were collected.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia.
Methods: A total of 2 374 subjects who received health examination in our hospital from Jan. 2004 to Dec.
