Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of skip titanium plates combined with adjacent spinous process suture suspension versus continuous titanium plate fixation in cervical laminoplasty.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 125 patients (62 men, 63 women, average age 60.9 ± 10.
Background: The use of visceral obesity as an indicator for predicting female infertility risk has not been well established. The body roundness index (BRI) is a novel, non-invasive indicator of visceral fat; however, previous reports have not addressed the relationship between the BRI and female infertility. This study sought to fill this research gap by investigating the association between the BRI and the risk of female infertility.

Background And Aim: This study aims to investigate the relationship between A Body Shape Index (ABSI) Z-score and all-cause mortality among osteoporotic patients using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Methods And Results: We analyzed NHANES data from 2005 to 2010, 2013 to 2014, and 2017 to 2018, focusing on individuals aged 50 and above with complete bone mineral density (BMD) data. The ABSI Z-score, calculated by adjusting waist circumference (WC) for height and weight, was used to independently assess abdominal fat beyond Body Mass Index (BMI).
What Is Already Known About This Topic?: The early onset of puberty increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Limited research has focused on the association between the onset of puberty, based on sudden increases in height, and obesity in late adolescence.
What Is Added By This Report?: This report assessed the age at take-off and age at peak height velocity for children and adolescents in China from 2012 to 2020.
Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed data from 9,295 participants, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to measure BMD and calculated BRI based on waist circumference and height, adjusting for various demographic and health factors.
- * Findings indicate a significant inverse relationship between BRI and total BMD, showing that higher BRI correlates with lower BMD, which could suggest an increased risk of osteoporosis, highlighting the importance of considering body fat distribution in
Objective: To estimate whether the new obesity indicator tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) has a better capacity to predict adolescent hypertension (HTN) and HTN subtypes at three separate blood pressure (BP) visits than the conventionally used body mass index (BMI).
Methods: A total of 36,950 adolescents who had initial normal BP from 2012 to 2019 were included in Suzhou, China. HTN was defined as having three separate visits of elevated BP in 2020.
Background: The impact of pediatric body mass index (BMI) trajectories on the risk of adolescent hypertension (HTN) determined by three separate visits remains unclear. This longitudinal study aims to identify potential pediatric sex-specific BMI trajectories and to assess their associations with HTN and HTN subtypes.
Methods: Based on the Health Promotion Program for Children and Adolescents (HPPCA) in Suzhou, China, a total of 24,426 participants who had initial normal blood pressure (BP) and had at least four BMI measurements during 2012-2020 were included.
Objective: We aimed to demonstrate characteristics of hypertension at three separate visits and its risk factors among children and adolescents based on a large school-based study in China.
Materials And Methods: Based on a large-scale ongoing monitoring program conducted in Suzhou, China, 59,679 children and adolescents aged 7-17 years from 60 public schools were enrolled during 2020 to 2021. Height, weight, and blood pressure (BP) were measured.
