Insulin Resistance Surrogates May Predict HTN-HUA in Young, Non-Obese Individuals.

Objective: To compare the associations of three surrogate markers of insulin resistance (IR) [glucose and triglycerides (TyG index), TyG index with BMI (TyG-BMI), and the ratio of triglycerides divided by HDL-C (TG/HDL-C)] with hypertensive patients (HTN) plus hyperuricemia (HUA) (HTN-HUA) in young, non-obese individuals.

Methods: Data from a cross-sectional epidemiological study of an annual health check-up population aged younger than 66 years were used to calculate the three IR surrogate indexes. The association with HTN-HUA and insulin resistance surrogates was examined with multinomial logistic regression and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

Association Between the Cardiometabolic Index and Hyperuricemia in an Asymptomatic Population with Normal Body Mass Index.

Background And Purpose: The association between the cardiometabolic index (CMI) and hyperuricemia was investigated to provide theoretical support for the management of hyperuricemia in an asymptomatic population with normal body mass index (BMI).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 374 asymptomatic adults with normal BMI. Traditional anthropometric indices and CMI were calculated.

Utility of multidetector computed tomography quantitative measurements in identifying sarcopenia: a propensity score matched study.

Objective: To evaluate the utility of multidetector computed tomography MDCT quantitative measurements in identifying sarcopenia.

Materials And Methods: The clinical data and MDCT images of 64 patients of sarcopenia and 184 non-sarcopenic participants between October 2020 and January 2021were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity score matching was used to match the sarcopenic patients with the non-sarcopenic participants.

[Effects of land use change on soil organic carbon and total nitrogen storage in Karst immigration regions of Guangxi Province, China.].

Land use change is an important factor affecting soil carbon and nitrogen cycle, and this is a hot spot in the study of global climate change. Based on the fixed depth method (FD) and the equivalent mass method (ESM), we explored the effects of land use change on soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) storage from the perspectives of forest reclamation and farmland vegetation restoration in Karst area. The storage of SOC and TN significantly decreased after the fore-sts were converted to grassland, eucalyptus and farmland.
