Analysis of multimorbidity patterns in perimenopausal women based on medical examination data.

Objective: The concurrent presence of multiple chronic diseases, termed multimorbidity, is increasingly prevalent among patients with chronic illnesses. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in middle-aged women, yet has not received adequate attention. The objective of this study was to investigate the pattern of multimorbidity and its changes over time in perimenopausal women.

Anti-glycaemic effect of the Chinese modified DASH diet combined with 23% low-sodium salt in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes: a clinical trial.

Background: Although many previous trials have formalized the blood glucose-lowering effect of the DASH diet, relevant reports in China remain limited. This study aimed to explore the anti-hyperglycaemic effect of the Chinese Modified Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet combined with 23% low-sodium salt and meal packs in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes.

Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled single-blinded trial with a semi-open design; 100 participants were randomly assigned to Group A (control), Group B (23% low-sodium salt), and Group C (meal packs) for 8 weeks of dietary intervention.
