AI Article Synopsis
- The study assessed risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs) in 79 individuals, including 65 adults and 14 adolescents, enrolled in a Nutrition Education Program.
- Approximately 42.9% of the participants were identified as overweight or obese, and 45.1% faced a heightened risk for cardiovascular diseases, with a significant family history of CNCDs reported by 88.6%.
- Despite 75% of the participants exercising regularly, fruit and vegetable intake was low, with only 36.7% and 63.3% consuming them at least once a day, indicating a high prevalence of risk factors for CNCDs among the population.
Article Abstract
The scope of this work was to evaluate the risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs) in subjects treated in the Nutrition Education Program of the School of Physical Education of the Federal University of Goiás. The number of individuals evaluated was 79, namely 65 adults and 14 adolescents. Socio-economic data, lifestyle and previous diseases were recorded by using anamnesis, the feeding habits (FH) were assessed by a food frequency questionnaire and the anthropometric indexes used were body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). The prevalence of overweight and obesity in the population was 42.9% (n = 27) and the average WC of adults was 82.67 ± 12.49, and 45.1% had increased or very increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. About 88.6% of the population reported the existence of CNCDs in the family. Most of the people (75%) exercised regularly. Those who smoked also drank alcohol frequently, and those that did not smoke were the ones that exercised more. The intake of fruit and vegetables is practiced by 36.7% and 63.3% of participants at least once a day, respectively. The conclusion reached is that the population studied had a high prevalence of exposure to at least one risk factor for CNCDs.

Background: The association between serum uric acid (SUA) and dyslipidaemia is still unclear in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to examine the association between SUA and dyslipidaemia and to explore whether there is an optimal SUA level corresponding to the lower risk of suffering from dyslipidaemia.
Research Design And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1036 inpatients with T2DM and the clinical data were extracted from the hospital medical records.

Introduction: Hypertension is among the most significant non-communicable public health issues worldwide. High blood pressure, or hypertension, has been associated with severe health consequences, including death, aneurysms, stroke, chronic renal disease, eye damage, heart attack, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and vascular dementia. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the predictors linked to survival time and the progression of blood pressure measurements in hypertensive patients.

Objectives: To examine the association between the age at onset of diabetes and the risk of all-cause mortality in a population of individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to identify risk factors associated with all-cause mortality in young-onset T2DM (YOD) patients in China.
Methods: This study utilized a cohort of 9759 patients who were diagnosed with T2DM and who were registered and enrolled in the National Basic Public Health Service Management Program in Qinghe District (now Qingjiangpu District) and Huai'an District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province, China. The patients were observed from November 2013 to July 2014, and all-cause mortality data were obtained by comprehensive matching with the Huai'an City Resident Mortality Database as of December 31, 2019.

Article Synopsis
- TBX21 is crucial for regulating immune responses and its decreased expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues is linked to advanced tumor stages.
- Ectopic TBX21 expression inhibits CRC cell migration and metastasis, showcasing its potential tumor-suppressing properties.
- TBX21 interacts with ARHGAP29 and MYCT1, influencing GSK3β phosphorylation and cytoskeletal regulation, which together play a significant role in suppressing CRC metastasis.
