Objective: Glucose metabolism status (GMS) is linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Higher levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are observed in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and NAFLD. We examined the association between GMS, non-invasive tests and AGEs, with liver steatosis and fibrosis.

Objective: Type D (Distressed) personality combines negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI) and is associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Here, we examined the association of Type D traits with 230 (predominantly) lipid metabolites and metabolite ratios.

Methods: Four Dutch cohorts were included, comprising 10,834 individuals.

Obesity and cardiometabolic disease often, but not always, coincide. Distinguishing subpopulations within which cardiometabolic risk diverges from the risk expected for a given body mass index (BMI) may facilitate precision prevention of cardiometabolic diseases. Accordingly, we performed unsupervised clustering in four European population-based cohorts (Nā€‰ā‰ˆā€‰173,000).

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the relationship between air pollution and its impact on cognitive functioning and brain health, given the rise in dementia cases and a lack of cures.
  • It involved 4,002 participants from The Maastricht Study, analyzing various brain integrity markers and cognitive abilities while considering their residential air pollution exposure.
  • Results showed no significant links between air pollution and cognitive performance or most brain markers, but a curvilinear relationship was noted where both low and high exposures were related to reduced grey matter volume.
