Objective: Microalbuminuria (MAU) is generally defined as an early effective index of cardiovascular disease and renal disease. Our study aims to investigate the prevalence of MAU and its related factors among people living in Beijing.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 2080 subjects (810 men and 1270 women) are recruited, with age distribution as 50.87 ± 13.10 years (mean ± standard deviation). Urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) is used to screen for microalbuminuria. All the data is analyzed with multivariate logistic regression method to explore the related factors for MAU.
Results: The overall prevalence of MAU in general population of Beijing is 17.50%, with male as 15.43% and female as 18.82% (P < 0.05). Results from the multivariate logistic regression analysis reveal that the independent risk factors of MAU in men are age (OR = 1.02), blood pressure (OR = 1.02), serum creatinine (OR = 1.04), while age (OR = 1.04), systolic blood pressure (OR = 1.02), serum creatinine (OR = 1.08), body mass index (OR = 1.07), total cholesterol (OR = 2.05) in women. The protective factor of MAU in women is HDL-C (OR = 0.44).
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the prevalence of MAU in Beijing area is higher than those in other areas in China or abroad. The prevalence in females is higher than that in males (P < 0.05). There is a gender difference in the related factors of MAU.

Estimating undiagnosed dementia in England using capture recapture techniques.

Background: To our knowledge capture-recapture techniques have not been used to estimate dementia prevalence using routinely collected data in England, nor have they been used to estimate changes in undiagnosed dementia over time. In this study we aimed to use routinely collected electronic health records to estimate the number of undiagnosed dementia cases there are in England and how this has changed over time. We also aimed to assess whether proportion of undiagnosed cases differed by age group, ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation and sex.

Background: Musculoskeletal pain frequently accompanies the development of mobility disability and falls in old age. To better understand this, we aimed to quantify the impact of different pain measures-recalled pain and movement-evoked pain-on 400-meter walk and stair climb time in older adults participating in the Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA).
Methods: In SOMMA (N=879, age=76.

The geroscience hypothesis proposes that underlying biological processes, such as the accumulation of senescent cells, have deleterious effects on multiple tissues and increase the risk of many chronic conditions with aging. Senescent cells produce heterogenous biomarkers, also called senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Circulating concentrations of senescence biomarkers may reflect an underlying burden of senescent cells in various tissues.

Metabolic syndromes including atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension are increasingly prevalent worldwide. The disorders are the primary attributes of oxidative stress and inflammation. The transient receptor potential M2 (TRPM2) channel is a pivotal mediator linking oxidative stress to metabolic dysfunction.
