Sex differences in the associations between relative fat mass and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality: a population-based prospective cohort study
The novel sex-specific anthropometric equation relative fat mass (RFM) is a new estimator of whole-body fat %. The study aimed to investigate the predictive role of RFM in cardiometabolic abnormalities, cardiovascular disease (CVD), all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and explored potential sex differences.

Associations of adherence to the DASH diet and Mediterranean diet with maternal c-reactive protein levels during pregnancy.
Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) during pregnancy, a marker of inflammation, is associated with adverse outcomes. Better understanding the relationship between CRP and modifiable factors, including diet, is essential to assist early pregnancy lifestyle interventions. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet (DASH-diet) and the Mediterranean diet (MED-diet) during pregnancy with maternal plasma CRP in early and late pregnancy.

Relation between waist circumference and the renal hemodynamic in healthy individuals
Obesity has been shown to be an independent risk factor for the development of CKD. Little is known about pathways of interaction of visceral fat mass estimated by waist circumference (WC) and metabolic factors with the renal and intraglomerular hemodynamic profile in healthy, non-obese individuals.

Association between the triglyceride glucose index and chronic total coronary occlusion: a cross-sectional study from southwest China
Insulin resistance (IR) plays an important role in the atherosclerotic process, and the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a reliable indicator of IR and is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease. However, there are few studies regarding the relationship between the TyG index and chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO). Herein, the correlation between the TyG index and CTO, as well as their interactions with other traditional cardiovascular risk factors, were investigated.

Loneliness status transitions and risk of cardiovascular disease among middle-aged and older adults
Loneliness is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and the levels at which individuals experience it can transition over time. However, the impact of increased loneliness or decreased loneliness on later CVD remains unexplored. We aimed to identify the age-specific association between loneliness status transitions and subsequent CVD incidences in middle-aged and older adults.

The effect of low-fructose diet on anthropometric and metabolic factors: a systematic review and meta-analysis
In recent decades, there has been a rise in the consumption of sugars containing fructose, raising concerns about their association with metabolic disorders and obesity. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to assess the effects of a low-fructose diet on anthropometric and metabolic variables.
