Article Synopsis
  • Protein-energy wasting (PEW) significantly increases mortality rates in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, especially due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is a leading cause of death in this group.
  • Our study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of phase angle (PA), measured via bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), in assessing PEW and cardiovascular risk in MHD patients.
  • Using LASSO logistic regression on data from 161 patients, we found that a combination of PA and other body composition metrics could better predict PEW incidence than any single factor, showing a strong correlation between low PA and higher cardiovascular risk.*

Background: Previous studies had indicated that sarcopenia and depressive symptoms were associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of present study was to evaluate the combined effect of sarcopenia and depressive symptoms on the CVD risk.

Methods: A total of 11,011 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2011-2020 were included.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and all-cause mortality among elderly Chinese. The subjects of our study were a cohort of 13 319 elderly Chinese enrolled between 2008 and 2018. Participants were classified in three groups: underweight (<18.

Objective: This study is aimed at exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and provides potential clinical prognostic biomarkers for STEMI.

Methods: The GSE60993 dataset was downloaded from the GEO database, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between STEMI and control groups were screened. Enrichment analysis of the DEGs was subsequently performed using the DAVID database.
