Association between estrogen and kidney function: population based evidence and mutual bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.
Clin Exp Nephrol
January 2025
Department of Nephrology, Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background: Previous studies have suggested a potential role of estrogen in the pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, the association and causality between estrogen and kidney function remain unclear.
Methods: The cross-sectional correlation between serum estradiol concentration and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) was analyzed using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2016. Causality was tested using mutual bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approaches based on six large-scale GWAS studies.
Assessment of the Potential Clinical and Economic Impact of Weight Loss in the Adult Population with Obesity and Associated Comorbidities in Spain.
Adv Ther
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition, Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge-IDIBELL, C/de la Feixa Llarga S/N, 08907, Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain.
Introduction: Obesity and its complications are associated with high morbidity/mortality and a significant healthcare cost burden in Spain. It is therefore essential to know the potential clinical and economic benefits of reducing obesity. The objective of this study is to predict the decrease in rates of onset of potential complications associated with obesity and the cost savings after a weight loss of 15% over 10 years in Spain.

Nutr Metab (Lond)
January 2025
Shenzhen Center for Chronic Disease Control, No. 2021 Buxin Road, Luohu District, Shenzhen, 518020, China.
Background: Serum vitamin D deficiency is intricately linked to metabolic disorders, however, evidence on its association with continuous metabolic risk in children and adolescents remains insufficient. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and continuous metabolic risk.
Methods: The cross-sectional analysis involved 4490 participants aged 6 ~ 18, and the longitudinal investigation included 1398 individuals aged 6 ~ 12 years.
DNA methylation clocks struggle to distinguish inflammaging from healthy aging, but feature rectification improves coherence and enhances detection of inflammaging.
Geroscience
January 2025
Department of Bioengineering and QB3, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, 94720, USA.
Biological age estimation from DNA methylation and determination of relevant biomarkers is an active research problem which has predominantly been tackled with black-box penalized regression. Machine learning is used to select a small subset of features from hundreds of thousands of CpG probes and to increase generalizability typically lacking with ordinary least-squares regression. Here, we show that such feature selection lacks biological interpretability and relevance in the clocks of the first and next generations and clarify the logic by which these clocks systematically exclude biomarkers of aging and age-related disease.

J Am Board Fam Med
January 2025
From the UPMC St. Margaret Family Medicine Residency Program, Pittsburgh, PA (WF, YG).
Use the new eGFR equation (estimated glomerular filtration rate equation that incorporates both serum creatinine and serum cystatin C levels) to estimate the GFR for both Black and non-Black individuals because the equation has improved accuracy, minimizes differences in eGFR between race groups, and more accurately reflects chronic kidney disease (CKD) prognosis while eliminating the use of race in GFR estimating equations.
