Aim: To study the relationship of visceral adiposity index (VAI) and prediabetes and the power of which in predicting of prediabetes.

Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiological survey was conducted. All participants were divided into four groups: VAI and WC (both are normal), VAI↑ and WC (postcritical VAI and normal WC), VAI and WC↑ (Normal VAI and postcritical WC), and VAI↑ and WC↑ (postcritical VAI and postcritical WC). A multivariate logistic analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the four groups and prediabetes, and diabetes. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the accuracy of predictions for prediabetes and diabetes.

Results: Both VAI and WC were independent risk factors of Prediabetes. The ORs for Prediabetes in the VAI↑&WC group were 1.641 (95%CI 1.146-2.349), P=0.007, in males, in Model 2. The ORs for Prediabetes in the VAI&WC↑ group were 1.454 (95%CI 1.055-2.005), P=0.022, in males, in Model 2. The ORs for Prediabetes in the VAI↑&WC group were 2.305 (95%CI 1.623-3.273), P=0.000, in females, in Model 2. The ORs for Prediabetes in the VAI&WC↑ group were 1.997 (95%CI 1.529-2.608), P=0.000, in females, in Model 2. The AUC value of VAI were 0.601 (95%CI 0.568-0.634), P=0.000, in prediabetes of men; which were 0.645 (95%CI 0.618-0.672), P=0.000, in prediabetes women. WC had the highest AUC value of 0.605 (95%CI 0.571-0.638), P=0.000, in prediabetes of men, also had the highest of AUC value of 0.673 (95%CI 0.648-0.697), P=0.000, in prediabetes of women.

Conclusion: VAI was positively associated with prediabetes, and also a usefulindicator of prediabetes.

This study aims to investigate the association between the platelet-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (PHR) and diabetes/prediabetes in US adults. Data from the 2005-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed in this study. The PHR was calculated by dividing platelet count by HDL-C concentration.

Background: Previous research has demonstrated a correlation between uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet the evidence remains unclear in individuals with abnormal glucose metabolism. The objective of this research was to investigate the correlation between UHR and the occurrence of CKD, as well as the rapid kidney function decline among individuals aged over 45 years with abnormal glucose metabolism, using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).

Methods: This study employed K-means clustering to categorize individuals based on UHR control levels into four classes.

Introduction: Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) have been associated with high cardiometabolic risk in adults, but there is little data on youth. This study describes the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors among pediatric patients with and without IDD receiving care in a large, primarily rural health system.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients aged 6-17 years with an index visit from August 1, 2022, to July 31, 2023, at one of 44 primary care clinics in a Midwestern health system.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to understand the prevalence of chronic diarrhea in adults with obesity and explore the factors associated with it, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005-2010.
  • - Researchers found that 8.18% of adults with obesity experienced chronic diarrhea, with factors such as female sex, older age, obesity severity, high sugar intake, depression, and a history of diabetes being linked to this condition.
  • - The results highlighted sex differences in the factors associated with chronic diarrhea among individuals with obesity, emphasizing the need for more tailored health approaches based on demographic and lifestyle aspects.
