Aim: Our study aimed to evaluate the association between the metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF) and mortality.
Methods: We conducted a cohort study comprising 11,120 participants. We employed weighted multivariable Cox regression analysis to assess the relationship between METS-VF and mortality.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) and the frailty in American adults aged over 60 years.
Methods: We utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) spanning from 2007 to 2018. WWI was calculated using the square root of waist circumference (cm) divided by body weight (kg).
Objective: Prior studies have established a connection between albuminuria and various inflammatory reactions, highlighting that an increase in C-reactive protein by 1 mg/L increases the likelihood of albuminuria by 2%. Recent investigations indicate a positive correlation between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and increased urinary protein excretion. In addition, elevated levels of the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) also correlate with a higher prevalence of albuminuria.

This study aims to examine the association between CircS and frailty, particularly focusing on the impact of various CircS components on frailty.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2007 to 2018.
Objective: Mercury sphygmomanometer (MS) has now been less and less used and no new devices have been manufactured (according to Minamata convention 2013). The application of the electronic sphygmomanometer (ES) in clinical practice has become increasingly common. However, reliable evidence for the use of the ES in high-altitude areas remains scarce.

Methods: We conducted a cross-section study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We categorized the participants into three groups (low, medium, and high dietary intake of live microbes) according to Sanders's dietary live microbe classification system and participants' 24-h dietary recall data.
