Obesity is an important risk factor for hypertension. We aimed to investigate the association between different obesity patterns and hypertension risk in a large male population in the US. Male participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2018) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.

This study was designed to investigate the molecular subgroups of DCM. Three datasets of DCM were downloaded from GEO database (GSE17800, GSE79962 and GSE3585).

Methods: Participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999-2018) were included in this cross-sectional study. Dietary information was obtained and used to calculate DII.
Article Synopsis
- - The rs10757274 SNP, found in the CDKN2BAS1 gene at locus 9p21, has been studied for its possible link to coronary artery disease (CAD), prompting a meta-analysis to clarify its association due to mixed prior results.
- - The meta-analysis, which included data from 11 studies with over 52,000 participants, showed a significant relationship between the rs10757274 polymorphism and CAD risk across multiple statistical models.
- - The results suggest that rs10757274 could be a genetic biomarker for CAD, particularly in West Asian populations, despite significant variability between individual studies.
