AI Article Synopsis

  • Youth with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) show higher prevalence rates of cardiometabolic issues compared to matched controls, specifically in areas like overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia, and liver dysfunction.
  • The study analyzed health records from 6 pediatric institutions, comparing 1080 youth with KS and 4497 matched controls based on various demographic factors.
  • Adjusting for factors like obesity and treatment did reduce the observed effects, but boys with KS still exhibited significantly greater odds for overweight/obesity and liver dysfunction when compared to control groups.

Article Abstract

Context: Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are common among men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) and contribute to high morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To determine if cardiometabolic-related diagnoses are more prevalent among youth with KS than matched controls in a large population-based cohort.

Methods: Secondary data analysis of electronic health records from 6 pediatric institutions in the United States (PEDSnet). Patients included all youth with KS in the database (n = 1080) and 4497 youth without KS matched for sex, age (mean 13 years at last encounter), year of birth, race, ethnicity, insurance, site, and duration of care (mean 7 years). The main outcome measures were prevalence of 5 cardiometabolic-related outcomes: overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia, dysglycemia, hypertension, and liver dysfunction.

Results: The odds of overweight/obesity (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4-1.8), dyslipidemia (3.0; 2.2-3.9), and liver dysfunction (2.0; 1.6-2.5) were all higher in KS than in controls. Adjusting for covariates (obesity, testosterone treatment, and antipsychotic use) attenuated the effect of KS on these outcomes; however, boys with KS still had 45% greater odds of overweight/obesity (95% CI 1.2-1.7) and 70% greater odds of liver dysfunction (95% CI 1.3-2.2) than controls, and both dyslipidemia (1.6; 1.1-2.4) and dysglycemia (1.8; 1.1-3.2) were higher in KS but of borderline statistical significance when accounting for multiple comparisons. The odds of hypertension were not different between groups.

Conclusion: This large, population-based cohort of youth with KS had a higher odds of most cardiometabolic-related diagnoses than matched controls.

Background: According to epidemiological studies, unhealthy dietary patterns and lifestyle lead to rising obesity and cardiometabolic diseases in Iran. Hybrid techniques were used to identify a dietary pattern characterized by fiber, folic acid, and carotenoid intake due to their association with cardiometabolic risk factors such as anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, lipid profile, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor (PAI), Homeostatic Model Assessment Index (HOMA Index), cardiometabolic index (CMI), and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1). So, the objective of the recent study is to compare the reduced-rank regression (RRR) and partial least-squares (PLS) approaches to principal component analysis (PCA) for estimating diet-cardiometabolic risk factor correlations in Iranian obese women.

Context: Small cohorts of youth with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) demonstrate increased risk of obesity and poor cardiometabolic health.

Objective: To determine the odds of cardiometabolic-related diagnoses in youth with CAH compared to matched controls in a cross-sectional analysis in a large, multisite database (PEDSnet).

Design: Electronic health record data (2009-2019) were used to determine odds of cardiometabolic-related outcomes based on diagnosis, anthropometric and laboratory data using logistic regression among youth with CAH vs.

Aims: To (1) synthesise evidence from Health at Every Size® interventions on physical and psychological health in people with overweight and obesity and (2) report between-group differences within interventions evaluating the impact of Health at Every Size® interventions on health and health-related outcomes.

Methods: Six databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane, PsychInfo, CINAHL, and Scopus) were searched from inception until November 2022. Included studies were conducted in adults with overweight or obesity, used Health at Every Size®-based interventions compared with control interventions and reported dietary, physical and/or psychological outcomes, including diet quality, anthropometry, or quality of life.

Background: Growing evidence suggests maternal stress contributes to the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes that are associated with cardiovascular and cardiometabolic risk in birthing persons. Mindfulness-based interventions may positively affect psychological stress in pregnancy and, in turn, reduce stress. However, few study authors have examined the effects of mindfulness-based interventions on adverse pregnancy outcomes that heighten cardiovascular risk.

Understanding cardiometabolic health among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people is challenged by methodological constraints, as most studies are either based on nonprobability samples or assume that missing values in population-based samples occur at random. Linking multiple years of nationally representative surveys, hospital records, and geocoded data, we analyzed selection biases and health disparities by self-identified sexual orientation in Canada. The results from 202,560 survey respondents of working age identified 2.
