When health is defined from a holistic view, traditional measures of control in diabetes, such as analysis of blood glucose or HbA1c, are of limited use as indicators of health and unhealth. On the other hand, evaluation of attitudes and certain personality variables might provide guidance both in discovering unhealth and in creating individual self-care programmes for its treatment. In the present study the subjective experience of health and unhealth was studied in a defined population of patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The patients could be divided into three categories: a) those not abandoning important goals because of their diabetes, b) "adapted abandoners" and, c) those abandoning vital aspects of life. On the basis of the findings, the question of how "problem patients" can be identified and treated is discussed.

Balanced diets are associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes than plant-based diets.
Diabetes Res Clin Pract
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing 400016, China. Electronic address:
Background & Aims: Plant-based diets benefit human health, while the deficient in some nutrients limits its application. We aimed to examine whether balanced diets could be better in reducing diabetes risk than plant-based diets.
Methods: In cross-sectional analysis of Environment-Inflammation-Metabolic-Diseases Study (EIMDS), we used a questionnaire to investigate the habit of balanced and plant-based diets.

Purpose: We investigated the association between metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and retinal age gap and explored potential sex differences in this association.
Methods: This study included 30,335 participants from the UK Biobank. Body mass index (BMI) was classified into normal weight, overweight, and obesity.
Use and performance of the evolut FX transcatheter aortic valve system.

Mount Sinai Health System, 1190 5th Ave, New York, NY 10029, United States of America.
Background: The next generation supra-annular, self-expanding Evolut FX transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) system was designed to improve catheter deliverability, provide stable and symmetric valve deployment, and assess commissural alignment during the procedure. The impact of these modifications has not been clinically evaluated.
Methods: Procedural information was collected by survey in 2 Stages: Stage I comprised 23 centers with extensive experience with Evolut TAV systems, and Stage II comprised an additional 46 centers with a broad range of balloon- and self-expanding system experience.

Division of Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, 450052, China.
Background: Metabolic unhealth (MUH) is closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Life's Essential 8 (LE8), a recently updated cardiovascular health (CVH) assessment, has some overlapping indicators with MUH but is more comprehensive and complicated than MUH. Given the close relationship between them, it is important to compare these two measurements.

We explored the joint effects of different metabolic obesity phenotypes on all-cause and disease-specific mortality risk among the American population. Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018. Mortality outcome data were from mortality files linked to National Death Index record and follow-up information was up to December 31, 2019.
