Volatile organic compounds exposure in relation to glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes in older adults from the NHANES.

The impact of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on type 2 diabetes (T2D) among older adults is unknown. The multiple linear regression model and the multiple binary logistic regression were used to evaluate the relationships between mVOCs and glucose homeostasis/T2D, respectively. Among the 19 mVOCs, the higher levels of urinary N-acetyl-S-(2-hydroxypropyl)-L-cysteine (2HPMA, compound CID:44146439) and N-acetyl-S-(2-hydroxypropyl)-L-cysteine (HPMMA, compound CID:107774684) were significantly associated with higher odds of T2D (OR = 1.

The association between dietary patterns before pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus: a matched case-control study in China.

Background And Objectives: We aimed to explore the relationship between dietary patterns and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during pre-pregnancy six months using principal component analysis (PCA) and the geometric framework for nutrition (GFN).

Methods And Study Design: We conducted a case-control study that included 210 GDM pregnant women and 210 controls. The dietary intake of all participants was assessed by a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).

Associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary time with renal function and chronic kidney disease: a national population-based study.

Introduction: There is limited information about the relationship between physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, this study aims to explore the associations of accelerometer-measured PA and sedentary behaviors with CKD.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the 2003-2004 and 2005-2006 survey cycles.

Low-carbohydrate diet and risk of cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.

: Evidence for the long-term health effect of low-carbohydrate diets (LCDs) is inconsistent. Herein, we aimed to examine the associations of LCDs with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. : We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Web of Science up to 26 July 2023 for eligible publications.

"Biqi" Bayberry Extract Promotes Skeletal Muscle Fiber Type Remodeling by Increasing Fast Myofiber Formation via the Akt/FoxO1 Pathway in Mice.

Bayberry is known to be a rich source of natural flavonoids and has been reported to have various health-promoting abilities. However, its function on regulating skeletal muscle fiber type remains unclear. This study examined whether bayberry extract affects skeletal muscle fiber type by promoting fast myofiber formation, as well as the potential molecular mechanism.

The association of cortisol/testosterone ratio and sleep quality with coronary heart disease: A case-control study in Chinese rural population.

Purpose: There were limited studies that have probed into the combined effect of the cortisol/testosterone (C/T) ratio as a biomarker of stress and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) on coronary heart disease (CHD). This research aimed to explore the association of C/T ratio and PSQI with the risk of CHD in a rural Chinese population, as well as the interaction and combined effect between C/T ratio and PSQI on CHD.

Methods: A case-control study was performed including 307 individuals without CHD and 307 patients drawn from Henan Rural Cohort.
