Role of blood pressure on stroke-related mortality: a 45-year follow-up study in China.

Background: Hypertension is associated with stroke-related mortality. However, the long-term association of blood pressure (BP) and the risk of stroke-related mortality and the influence path of BP on stroke-related death remain unknown. The current study aimed to estimate the long-term causal associations between BP and stroke-related mortality and the potential mediating and moderated mediating model of the associations.

Central and Peripheral Adiposity Had Different Effect on Disability in Centenarians.

Purpose: To explore the correlations between waist circumference, body mass index, calf circumference (CC), and waist-calf circumference ratio (WCR) and activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) in Hainan centenarians.

The Role of BMI and Blood Pressure in the Relationship Between Total Cholesterol and Disability in Chinese Centenarians: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Lower serum lipid metabolism might be associated with the decline of activity of daily living in the extreme longevity group. However, studies on models and possible paths of this correlation between total cholesterol (TC) and disability in centenarians are scarce. The aim of this study was to verify this correlation and explore the mediating effect of BMI and blood pressure on this relationship in Hainan centenarians.

Canonical Correlation Analysis on the Association Between Sleep Quality and Nutritional Status Among Centenarians in Hainan.

To analyze the correlation between nutritional status and sleep quality among centenarians. A total of 1,002 centenarians in Hainan were included in the full sample survey.

Association of anthropometric and nutrition status indicators with cognitive functions in centenarians.

Background & Aims: How anthropometric and nutrition status indicators relate to cognitive function in the oldest old adults is an issue that needs to be explored. This study aimed to analyze the association of parameters and nutrition status indicators (waist circumference, BMI, calf circumference, and waist-calf circumference ratio [WCR]) with cognitive functions in centenarians.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with the full sample of 1002 centenarians from Hainan.
