Purpose: Obesity, measured by body mass index (BMI), is implicated in adverse pregnancy outcomes for women seeking in vitro fertilization (IVF) care. However, the shape of the dose-response relationship between BMI and IVF outcomes remains unclear.
Methods: We therefore conducted a dose-response meta-analysis using a random effects model to estimate summary relative risk (RR) for clinical pregnancy (CPR), live birth (LBR), and miscarriage risk (MR) after IVF.
Results: A total of 18 cohort-based studies involving 975,889 cycles were included. For each 5-unit increase in BMI, the summary RR was 0.95 (95% CI: 0.94-0.97) for CPR, 0.93 (95% CI: 0.92-0.95) for LBR, and 1.09 (95% CI: 1.05-1.12) for MR. There was evidence of a non-linear association between BMI and CPR (P < 10) with CPR decreasing sharply among obese women (BMI > 30). Non-linear dose-response meta-analysis showed a relatively flat curve over a broad range of BMI from 16 to 30 for LBR (P = 0.0009). In addition, we observed a J-shaped association between BMI and MR (P = 0.006) with the lowest miscarriage risk observed with a BMI of 22-25.
Conclusions: In conclusion, obesity contributed to increased risk of adverse IVF outcomes in a non-linear dose-response manner. More prospective trials in evaluating the effect of body weight control are necessary.

Objective: We investigated the relationship between lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) and common imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
Methods: Data from 835 CSVD patients were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression to determine CSVD-associated factors. Multivariate models assessed the association between LCR and CSVD, including common imaging markers.

Among patients with psoriasis, there was not much research regarding the assessment of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) in patients with psoriasis. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between NPAR and prevalence of psoriasis in US adults. Data from adults aged 20 to 80 years in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2003 to 2006 and 2009 to 2014 was utilized.

Background: Previous studies suggest that frailty increases the risk of mortality, but the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in Chinese community-dwelling older adults remains understudied. Our aim was to explore the effect of frailty on cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in older adults based on a large-scale prospective survey of community-dwelling older adults in China.
Methods: We utilized the 2014-2018 cohort of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey and constructed a frailty index (FI) to assess frailty status.
