Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hypertension (HTN) with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and to estimate the extent to which the synergistic effects of FPG and HTN affect outcomes in a Chinese population.

Method: We conducted a large-scale, population-based study to analyze the association and interaction of the two factors with CAN in a sample of 2,092 Chinese people. Univariate and multiple linear regression (MLR) analyses were employed to detect these relationships. Interaction on an additive scale can be calculated by using the relative excess risk due to interaction, the proportion attributable to interaction (AP), and the synergy index (S).

Result: After adjusting for confounding factors, MLR showed that FPG and HTN were independently associated with CAN (p < 0.001 for both). A significant synergistic effect of FPG and HTN on CAN was detected (p = 0.046, RETI = 0.733, 95% CI 0.059-1.450; AP = 0.167, 95% CI -0.033 to 0.367; S = 1.275, 95% CI 0.140-2.410).

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that FPG and HTN are independently associated with CAN, and they offer evidence to support the hypothesis that FPG and HTN have synergistic effects that influence the progression of CAN.

Article Synopsis
  • Hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are common noncommunicable diseases globally, often linked with chronic health issues and thyroid dysfunction, which varies across studies.
  • The study involved 640 participants over 18 years, excluding pregnant women, and aimed to explore risk factors for hypothyroidism and its relationship with hypertension in diabetes patients through interviews and health assessments.
  • Findings indicated that 31.25% of participants had diabetes, 18.75% had hypertension, and 9.68% had both, with consistent thyroid function levels and blood sugar indicators noted among the groups, highlighting a notable prevalence of thyroid issues in hypertensive patients.

Introduction: Hypertension (HTN) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Identifying new risk factors for hypertension is crucial. This study aims to determine the predictive value of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the development of hypertension.

Background: Insulin Resistance (IR) are associated with Hypertension (HTN). Triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) is a readily available and clinically significant indicator of IR. This study aimed to investigate whether TyG-BMI is independently associated with HTN.

Currently, the increasing numbers of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) brought this technique in the third position in order of frequency, behind sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). However, OAGB is still considered lack of evidence in reducing obesity- related comorbidities. Our study aimed to compare the efficacy for SG and OAGB improving type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission and weight loss in obese patients.

Background And Aims: Overweight and obesity are well recognized as important and traditional risk factors for hypertension (HTN), but the prevalence of HTN tends to increase in non-overweight people. Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been observed to be associated with HTN. However, whether such association still persists in non-overweight people remains unclear.
