Association Between Serum Essential Metal Elements and Blood Pressure in Children: A Cohort Study.

A limited number of cohort studies have explored the impact of serum essential metal elements on blood pressure (BP) or glycolipids and their regulatory mechanism in children. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum metal concentrations of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), and magnesium (Mg) and BP in children, and explore the potential mediating effects of glycolipid profiles. This cohort study included 1993 children (3566 BP measurements) aged 6-14 years in Chongqing, China.

The impact of folic acid/VB12 deficiency on essential hypertension in children and adolescents: from a nested case-control and a cohort study.

To explore the relationship between serum folic acid (FA) or Vitamin B12 (VB12) and elevated BP in children and adolescents. Both a nested case control and a cohort study were designed to explore the relationship between serum folic acid (FA) or Vitamin B12 (VB12) and elevated blood pressure (BP). All the included participants were from primary school.

The impact of dietary and sleep rhythms on blood pressure in children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study.

Evidence about the relationship between meal and sleep time and CVD in children is scarce. The aims of this study were to describe the association between life rhythm patterns and blood pressure in children. This research was conducted among 5,608 children aged 6 to 15 years old in Chongqing and Sichuan provinces in 2021 and 2022.

The associations between hematological parameters and the incidence of prehypertension and hypertension in children and adolescents: a prospective cohort study.

Uncontrolled pediatric hypertension may increase the risk of hypertension in adulthood. Several studies have reported an association between hematological parameters and blood pressure (BP) levels. However, epidemiologic evidence of this association in children and adolescents remains scarce.

Relationship between quality of life and adolescent glycolipid metabolism disorder: A cohort study.

Background: The prevalence of glucolipid metabolic disorders (GLMDs) in children and adolescents has a recognized association with cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adulthood. Therefore, it is important to enhance our under-standing of the risk factors for GLMD in childhood and adolescence.

Aim: To explore the relationship between quality of life (QoL) and adolescent GLMD.

Abdominal obesity-related lipid metabolites may mediate the association between obesity and glucose dysregulation.

Background: Children with obesity is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CV) risk in adulthood. This study is to explore the obesity-related lipid metabolites and identify the associations of lipid metabolites with selected CV risk in children and adolescents.

Methods: A case-control study was designed to include a total of 197 children (aged 9-13 years, male 56.

The association between family impact and health-related quality of life of children with idiopathic central precocious puberty in Chongqing, China.

Background: Idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) reduces patient health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The impacts of disease and treatment on families are also an important concern. This study aimed to assess the association between family impact and HRQoL of children with ICPP.

The association of quality of life and personality characteristics with adolescent metabolic syndrome: a cohort study.

Background: An increased prevalence of adolescent metabolic syndrome (MS) is associated with adulthood cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to explore the potential relationship of quality of life (QoL) and personality traits with adolescent MS.

Methods: A total of 1961 participants from Chongqing with an average age of 11.

The relationship between socioeconomic status and childhood overweight/obesity is linked through paternal obesity and dietary intake: a cross-sectional study in Chongqing, China.

Background: The prevalence of obesity and overweight in childhood has increased dramatically over the past decades globally. Thus, the risk factors of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents must be studied.

Objectives: This study aimed to reveal the prevalence of childhood obesity and examine the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and z-body mass index (z-BMI) via parental obesity and dietary intake using path analysis.

Effects of policies and containment measures on control of COVID-19 epidemic in Chongqing.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging, rapidly evolving disease that spreads through the respiratory system and is highly contagious. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. In China, the pandemic was controlled after 2 mo through effective policies and containment measures.

Prevalence and risk factors of childhood hypertension from birth through childhood: a retrospective cohort study.

The prevalence of childhood hypertension is recognized as an important parameter of cardiovascular risk in adults. This retrospective study aimed to ascertain the prevalence and risk factors for hypertension from birth through childhood as of 2014. Stratified cluster sampling was used to select 17,007 participants (5971 with biochemical indexes available) aged 6-12 years on two avenues per region in urban, suburban, and rural areas.
