Impact of baseline characteristics on the efficacy of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide among participants with type 2 diabetes: A post hoc analysis of SUSTAIN China.

Aims: To investigate the impact of baseline characteristics on the efficacy of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 0.5 and 1.0 mg in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the SUSTAIN China trial.

Effect of semaglutide on primary prevention of diabetic kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes: A post hoc analysis of the SUSTAIN 6 randomized controlled trial.

Aim: Efficient primary prevention of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is currently lacking. The identification of people at high DKD risk and timely intervention are key to preventing DKD. Therefore, a model to classify people according to their risk for developing DKD was developed previously and used in the current analysis to assess the effect of semaglutide versus placebo on primary DKD prevention.

Perceptions, attitudes and barriers to effective obesity care among people living with obesity and healthcare professionals in China: The ACTION-China study.

Aims: To identify perceptions, attitudes, behaviours and barriers to effective obesity care among people living with obesity (PLwO) and healthcare professionals (HCPs) across mainland China.

Materials And Methods: ACTION-China (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05428501) was a cross-sectional, observational, descriptive, online survey-based study of 7000 PLwO and 1000 HCPs (conducted between August and November 2022).

Prevalence of obesity and associated complications in China: A cross-sectional, real-world study in 15.8 million adults.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of overweight/obesity and associated complications from a large, cross-sectional, nationwide database in China.

Materials And Methods: Data were obtained from 519 Meinian health check-up centres across 243 cities. Eligible participants were aged ≥18 years, with a routine check-up in 2019 (N = 21 771 683) and complete height, weight, sex and region data.

A Qualitative Study of Perceptions and Preferences Regarding Social and Behavioral Risk Screening Among Primary Care Patients.

Background: Despite its relevance for healthcare settings, social and behavioral risk screening is not systematically performed by clinicians or healthcare systems.

Objective: To address clinician concerns, such as social and behavioral risk screening disrupting the clinician-patient relationship and lack of resources to respond, we interviewed primary care patients at an academic medical center regarding their perceptions and preferences on social and behavioral risk screening.

Participants: Between September and December 2020, we recruited a convenience sample of 14 English-speaking primary care patients 18 years + from three clinics affiliated with an academic medical center.

Weight loss since early adulthood, later life risk of fracture hospitalizations, and bone mineral density: a prospective cohort study of 0.5 million Chinese adults.

Unlabelled: In a Chinese population from both urban and rural areas, weight loss of ≥ 5 kg from early adulthood to midlife was associated with a higher risk of hip fracture and lower BMD in later life.

Introduction: This study investigates the association of the long-term weight loss from young adulthood through the middle ages with the subsequent 10-year risk of hospitalized fracture and calcaneus bone mineral density (BMD).

Methods: China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) was established during 2004-2008 in ten areas across China.

Association between tea consumption and risk of cancer: a prospective cohort study of 0.5 million Chinese adults.

Current experimental and epidemiological studies provide inconsistent evidence toward the association between tea consumption and cancer incidence. We investigated whether tea consumption was associated with the incidence of all cancers and six leading types of cancer (lung cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, female breast cancer and cervix uteri cancer) among 455,981 participants aged 30-79 years in the prospective cohort China Kadoorie Biobank. Tea consumption was assessed at baseline (2004-2008) with an interviewer-administered questionnaire.
