Background Numerous risk factors have been identified for developing severe COVID-19, including sociodemographic variables and concomitant diseases. Individuals with underlying comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and coronary artery disease are at a greater risk of severe illness and death. This study aimed to observe the association between risk factors and the severity of COVID-19.

Background: Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome and systemic inflammation significantly contribute to mortality. However, the joint associations of CKM stages and systemic inflammation with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the independent and joint associations of CKM stages and systemic inflammation with all-cause and CVD mortality in a representative cohort of United States adults.

Background/objectives: Myosteatosis has been associated with sarcopenia, and increased mortality risk in patients on hemodialysis. We aimed to explore the associations between myosteatosis, as assessed by computed tomography (CT), with demographic parameters, body composition metrics, muscle strength, metabolic parameters and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Subjects/methods: We enrolled 216 patients (age 60.

We aimed to identify and validate factors related to uncontrolled hypertension. Participants treated with at least one antihypertensive drug from the prospective contemporaneous CoLaus|PsyCoLaus study were enrolled. We investigated the association between hypertension status (uncontrolled, defined as systolic blood pressure [SBP] ≥ 140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure [DBP] ≥ 90 mm Hg, versus controlled hypertension [SBP/DBP < 140/90 mm Hg]) and potential risk factors.

Unhealthy lifestyles risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, poor diet, and obesity, have been associated with a higher risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality. However, composite score of these unhealthy behaviours has not been considered, particularly in Latin American populations. Herein, we examined the association of lifestyle risk factors score with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in Mexican adults.
