Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the association between trajectories of depressive symptoms and the subsequent risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by measuring depressive symptoms repeatedly in older adults with normal renal function.
Methods: A total of 9650 participants, comprising community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, were included. Depressive symptoms were assessed at three time points: Wave 1 (2011-2012), Wave 2 (2013-2014), and Wave 3 (2015-2016).
Background: Previous studies have reported that anemia was associated with depression, but the association between changes in depressive symptoms and the risk of anemia was unclear. This study aimed to explore whether changes in depressive symptoms were associated with anemia among the middle-aged and elderly adults.
Methods: A total of 6112 patients aged 45 years and older from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included in this analysis.
Article Synopsis
- This study looks at how different patterns of feeling sad or depressed can affect older people's health and ability to live without needing help.
- The researchers studied over 8,000 people in China and found four groups based on their feelings: those with no depression, those whose depression got better, those whose depression got worse, and those who always felt depressed.
- People in the groups with depression had a higher risk of becoming disabled or dying, which means it's really important to help identify and treat depression early to keep people healthy as they age.
Objectives: This study examined the relationship of social isolation and loneliness on sarcopenia among Chinese middle-aged and elderly people.
Methods: Social isolation, loneliness, and sarcopenia were measured at baseline. Follow-up measures of new-onset sarcopenia were obtained 4 years later.
Background And Aim: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is a major threat to public health, while cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a key predictor of chronic disease. Given this, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between estimated CRF (eCRF) and CVD in middle-aged and elderly Chinese people.
Methods And Results: The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) with 4761 individuals were included in analysis.
Background And Hypothesis: Previous studies have found that both physical inactivity and poor sleep are deleteriously associated with severe mental illness (SMI). The aim of current study was to investigate the joint association of physical activity (PA) and sleep with late-onset SMI (schizophrenia and bipolar disorder) risk.
Study Design: A total of 340 187 (for schizophrenia)/340 239 (for bipolar disorder) participants without schizophrenia or bipolar disorder from the UK Biobank were included.
Objective: The aim of present study was to evaluate the combined effect of hypertension and activities of daily living (ADL)/instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) with the risk of CVD, stroke and cardiac events.
Methods: A total of 14,083 participants aged 45 years or older from the China Health and Retirement longitudinal study were included in current study. Participants were divided into 4 groups according to hypertension and ADL/IADL status.
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that sarcopenia was associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nevertheless, little is known about the associations between sarcopenic obesity/possibly sarcopenic obesity and the risk of CVD among senior and middle-aged adults.
Methods: Utilizing the nationally representative data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), a sum of 7703 individuals aged at least 45 years were divided into four groups.
The association between sarcopenia and kidney function remains poorly investigated. We aimed to evaluate the associations between sarcopenia status and kidney function (rapid kidney function decline and chronic kidney disease (CKD)) in middle-aged and older Chinese population. A total of 9375 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2011 were included in the cross-sectional analyses.

We aimed to prospectively assess the combined effect of depressive symptoms and sleep duration on the incidence of CKD in middle-aged and elderly Chinese population.
Methods: A total of 10,953 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included.
Objective: Previous studies had reported a significant association between depressive symptoms and inflammation. The aim of present study was to evaluate the combined effect of depressive symptoms and inflammation level on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Methods: A total of 9647 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study were included.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between changes in depressive symptoms and sarcopenia by repeated measures of depressive symptoms at a follow-up visit every 2 years.
Design: Cross-sectional design and longitudinal design.
Setting And Participants: We conducted a cross-sectional and longitudinal study using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, which is a representative national survey.
Association between triglyceride-glucose index and chronic kidney disease: A cohort study and meta-analysis.
Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis
June 2023
Background And Aims: Nowadays, the relationship between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is still controversial. We aimed to prospectively investigate the relationship between TyG index and CKD in a cohort and meta-analysis.
Methods And Results: A total of 10498 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included.
Objectives: Previous studies had reported that insulin resistance (assessed by estimated glucose disposal rate; eGDR) was associated with higher risk of cardiovascular events (CVD) in diabetes patients. The aim of present study was to investigate the potential association between eGDR and CVD in general population.
Methods: The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study with 8,267 individuals were included in analysis.
Background And Aims: The association between remnant cholesterol (RC) and diabetes remains unclear in Chinese.
Methods And Results: We used the data of 9464 Chinese adults aged ≥45 years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Estimated RC level was calculated as total cholesterol minus high-density lipoprotein cholesterol minus low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Objective: Previous studies have reported that depression and depressive symptom are associated with diabetes incident. However, the association between long-term depressive symptom patterns and risk of diabetes remains unknown. The aim of present study was to evaluate the association between depressive symptom trajectories and risk of diabetes.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The association between hypertriglyceridemic-waist (HTGW) phenotype and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains inconsistent and debatable. We aimed to prospectively investigate the relationship between HTGW phenotype and CVD.
Methods And Results: We included 8,216 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.
Objective: Previous studies had reported the significant association between hypertension, remnant cholesterol (RC) and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of present study was to evaluate the combined effect of hypertension and RC on the risk of CVD.
Methods: A total of 9456 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study were included.
Background And Aims: The association between visceral adiposity index (VAI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains debatable. We aimed to prospectively investigate the relationship between VAI and CKD.
Methods And Results: A total of 8808 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study were included.
Background: Previous studies have reported that depression is associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the association between long-term depressive symptom patterns and the risk of CVD was not well characterized.
Methods: A total of 8621 participants with three Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) measurements from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study were included.
