Association Between the Trajectories of the Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Prediabetes Progression to Diabetes: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze baseline profiles and longitudinal changes in Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) among individuals with prediabetes to identify distinct AIP trajectories and assess their significance in predicting diabetes onset.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 8346 participants who underwent multiple general health checks. Utilizing latent class trajectory modeling and Cox proportional hazards analyses, it examined the association between the AIP index and health outcomes.

Association between serum uric acid and prediabetes in a normal Chinese population: A cross-sectional study.

Cardiovascular events are frequent among individuals with prediabetes. And the relationship between cardiovascular diseases and elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels has been supported by extensive scientific evidence. However, there remains controversy regarding the correlation between elevated SUA and prediabetes.

Association Between High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Trajectories and the Incidence of Metabolic Syndrome:A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: Understanding the role of systemic inflammation in the development of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is crucial for identifying individuals at a higher risk of this cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted with 4,312 participants who were free from MetS at the study's onset and had high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels measured. Latent class trajectory modeling was utilized to identify distinct hsCRP trajectory patterns.

Association between sleep quality and uncertainty stress among healthcare professionals in hospitals in China: a nationwide cross-sectional survey.

Objectives: Sleep quality is a critical concern among healthcare professionals, yet the role of uncertainty stress has been inadequately explored. This study aims to explore the associations between sleep quality and uncertainty stress among healthcare professionals working in Chinese hospitals.

Design: Cross-sectional survey.

Association between chinese visceral adiposity index and risk of kidney stones in a health screening population: an ultrasonography based cross-sectional study.

Background: Obesity is an important risk factor for kidney stones(KS). Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI), as a specific indicator for visceral obesity in the Chinese population, can more accurately assess the visceral fat content in Chinese individuals compared to Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI). However, the association between CVAI and risk for KS has not been studied.
