Article Synopsis
- Glomerular diseases rank as the third most common cause of end-stage kidney disease worldwide, yet their long-term outcomes remain poorly understood.
- In a study involving almost 2,400 patients with primary glomerular diseases, researchers found that these patients typically had lower hospitalization and mortality rates compared to those with chronic kidney disease from common non-communicable diseases.
- Notably, patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) experienced faster declines in kidney function and higher rates of kidney replacement therapy compared to those with minimal change disease (MCD) and membranous nephropathy (MN), indicating a need for more aggressive treatment approaches for IgAN and F
Background: Physical activity is well known to have beneficial effects on glycemic control and to reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease in persons with type 2 diabetes. Yet, successful implementation of lifestyle interventions targeting physical activity in primary care has shown to be difficult. Smartphone apps may provide useful tools to support physical activity.

Methods: We followed 34,898 adults from 1997 to 2016.
Background: Ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) can be assessed by 7 metrics: smoking, body mass index, physical activity, diet, hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes, proposed by the American Heart Association. We examined the association of ideal CVH metrics with risk of all-cause, CVD and non-CVD death in a large cohort.
Methods: A total of 29,557 participants in the Swedish National March Cohort were included in this study.
Objective: Given the importance of sleep in maintaining neurocognitive health, both sleep duration and quality might be component causes of dementia. However, the possible role of insomnia symptoms as risk factors for dementia remain uncertain.
Methods: We prospectively studied 22,078 participants in the Swedish National March Cohort who were free from dementia and stroke at baseline.
