Purpose: We sought to determine the association of hip circumference with risk of type 2 diabetes in a relatively lean population.
Methods: The relationship between hip circumference for a given waist circumference or BMI and risk of type 2 diabetes was investigated in 56,100 men and 68,273 women, aged 40 to 74, from the Shanghai Men's Health Study and the Shanghai Women's Health Study. Cox analyses were used.
Results: Over an average of 4.0 years and 7.8 years of follow-up of the men and women, respectively, 2754 new diabetes cases (955 males; 1799 females) were documented. After adjustment for body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and other potential confounders, the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for type 2 diabetes in quintiles 2 to 5 compared with the first quintile of hip circumference were 0.95 (95% CI, 0.76-1.18), 0.72 (95% CI, 0.57-0.91), 0.83 (95% CI, 0.67-1.04), 0.78 (95% CI, 0.63-0.97), respectively, among men and 0.83 (95% CI, 0.72-0.96), 0.74 (95% CI, 0.64-0.86), 0.72 (95% CI, 0.62-0.84), and 0.65 (95% CI, 0.56-0.75) among women. This relationship was stronger for men and women with a BMI less than or equal to the median (23.6 kg/m(2) for each gender; interaction p-value = .04 for men and .01 for women).
Conclusions: A greater hip circumference for a given waist circumference and BMI is associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.

Objective: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a chronic complication of diabetes that can potentially escalate into ulceration, amputation and other severe consequences. The aim of this study was to construct and validate a predictive nomogram model for assessing the risk of DPN development among diabetic patients, thereby facilitating the early identification of high-risk DPN individuals and mitigating the incidence of severe outcomes.
Methods: 1185 patients were included in this study from June 2020 to June 2023.

Background: Osteosarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome associated with an increased risk of frailty, falls, fractures, disability, and death. Calf circumference (CC) has been used as a simple and practical skeletal muscle marker to diagnose sarcopenia. This study aimed to explore the relationship of calf circumference and osteoporosis (OP) and hip fractures (HF) in middle-aged and older adults.

This study employed multivariate analysis to investigate the effects of a 14-week multicomponent training program on sedentary adults and older populations, focusing on improvements in physical fitness, health markers, and anthropometric measures. The data included 376 participants aged 30 to 84 years who had been inactive for at least 3 months. Results showed that participants aged 71 and above had lower systolic blood pressure, height, body mass, elbow flexion and extension, sitting and standing up from a chair, agility, 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and handgrip strength values compared to younger age groups (p < 0.

Background: Obesity is the primary cause of metabolic associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Healthy lifestyle management has potential value in the treatment of MASLD.
Methods: A total of 150 patients with MASLD diagnosed at the Health Management Center of our hospital were enrolled and randomly divided into a traditional treatment (control group, n=75) and healthy lifestyle group (observation group, n=75).
