This review explores the correlation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with cognitive function and brain changes. A comprehensive search of relevant studies in the PubMed database up to June 2024 was conducted, including various study designs such as cross-sectional, longitudinal, case-control, and cohort studies. Data were extracted from 24 studies, focusing on study design, sample size, NAFLD diagnosis, control of confounders, key findings, and limitations.

Introduction: Infertility has become a major global issue due to the trend of delaying marriage and advanced maternal age. Family/Birth cohort studies are essential for exploring ways to enhance health outcomes at both the individual and societal levels. However, there is a shortage of cohorts that include families who have utilized assisted reproductive technology (ART), particularly initiated at the early stages before pregnancy.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and genetic risk scores for urate transport genes together influence the likelihood of developing hyperuricemia in individuals aged 50 and older.
  • - Results show that higher TyG index levels are linked to increased serum urate levels, significantly raising the risk of hyperuricemia, especially in individuals with a higher genetic predisposition.
  • - The findings suggest a strong interaction between genetic factors and the TyG index, with over 50% of the increased risk of hyperuricemia associated with this interplay, highlighting its importance in understanding the condition.

Background: Studies about the combined effects of gaseous air pollutants and particulate matters are still rare.

Objectives: This study was performed based on baseline survey of the Diverse Life-Course Cohort in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) Region of North China to evaluate the association of long-term air pollutants with blood pressure and the combined effect of the air pollutants mixture among 32821 natural han population aged 20 years or above.

Methods: Three-year average exposure to air pollutants (PM, PM, PM, O, SO, NO, and CO) and PM components [black carbon (BC), ammonium (NH), nitrate (NO), sulfate (SO), and organic matter (OM)] of residential areas were calculated based on well-validated models.

  • - This study examined the prevalence and risk factors of refractive error (RE) among older adults (ages 50-80) in Han and various ethnic groups across seven provinces in China using data from the China National Health Survey (CNHS).
  • - A total of 12,902 participants were analyzed, revealing that different ethnic groups exhibited varying rates of myopia, with the Han group showing the highest prevalence, while ethnic minorities like Mongolian and Uyghur had lower rates.
  • - Factors linked to a lower prevalence of myopia included living in rural areas, having a higher body mass index (BMI), residing in higher latitude locations, and a history of smoking; notable differences in myopia prevalence were found between the Han

Background: The fat-to-muscle mass ratio (FMR), integrating the antagonistic effects of fat and muscle mass, has been suggested as a valuable indicator to assess cardiometabolic health independent of overall adiposity. However, the specific associations of total and regional FMR with cardiometabolic risk are poorly understood. We aimed to examine sex-specific associations of total and regional FMR with single and clustered cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs).

Purpose: To examine the effects of serum growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) on choroidal structures with different blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) with acromegaly without diabetic retinopathy.

Methods: Eighty-eight eyes of 44 patients with acromegaly were divided into a nondiabetic group (23 patients, 46 eyes) and a diabetic group (21 patients, 42 eyes). Forty-four age- and sex-matched healthy controls and 21 patients with type 2 DM without diabetic retinopathy were also included.

The pancreas is adjacent to critical organs; excessive microwave ablation (MWA) can result in serious complications. The purpose of this paper is to provide the reference data of pancreas MWA for clinicians, analyze the ablation outcomes under different ablation parameters, and determine the critical temperature of pancreatic surface fat liquefaction outflow. Combinations of two power levels (30 W and 55 W), three antenna diameters (1.

Aims: The evidence for joint and independent associations of low muscle mass and low muscle strength with diabetes is limited and mixed. The study aimed to determine the associations of muscle parameters (muscle mass, strength, quality, and sarcopenia) and sarcopenia obesity with diabetes, and the previously unstudied mediating effect of inflammation.

Materials And Methods: A total of 13,420 adults from the 2023 China National Health Survey (CNHS) and 5,380 adults from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included in this study.

The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a reliable marker of insulin resistance; however, its combined impact with modifiable lifestyle risk factors and psychological traits on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the TyG index, various behavioral factors, psychological traits, and CVDs. A total of 77 752 adults aged 18 and over from the baseline survey of the Beijing Health Management Cohort study were investigated.

Article Synopsis
  • Limited clinical research has been conducted on the connection between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and dyslipidemia, with current studies focused on hospital populations potentially not applying to those in the community.
  • A cross-sectional study analyzed data from 3,829 participants in the Guangdong Sleep Health Study, using sleep monitoring to measure nocturnal hypoxemia and fasting blood samples to evaluate lipid levels.
  • Results indicated a negative association between average oxygen saturation (meanSpO2) and hyperlipidemia, suggesting that higher meanSpO2 correlates with a lower risk of dyslipidemia in adults living in the community.
