Causal Association between Uric Acid Levels and the Risk of Aortic Aneurysm and Aortic Dissection: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
Increasing numbers of studies have sought to uncover the relationship between serum uric acid (UA) levels and the risk of aortic aneurysm (AA) or aortic dissection (AD), but the causality of the associations has not been established yet. To assess this potential relationship, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Added sugar intake is associated with weight gain and risk of developing obesity over 30 years: the CARDIA study
Numerous prospective studies have examined sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) intake associated with weight gain or incident obesity. Because SSB accounts for only 33% of added sugar (AS) intake, we investigated the associations of AS intake with change in weight and waist circumference and risk of developing obesity.

Relationship between normal weight central obesity and arterial stiffness in Chinese adults with hypertension
Normal weight central obesity (NWCO) is a category of obesity that is characterized by having a normal BMI and presence of abdominal obesity. Recently, studies have reported that NWCO was associated with the cardiovascular diseases. The researches exploring the relationship between NWCO and arterial stiffness are limited. So this study intended to investigate the relationship between NWCO and arterial stiffness in Chinese adults with hypertension. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Carnosine supplementation improves glucose control in adults with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes: a randomised controlled trial
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Carnosine, a naturally occurring dipeptide, has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-glycating effects, with preliminary evidence suggesting it may improve important chronic disease risk factors in adults with cardiometabolic conditions.

Serum uric acid predicts the development of atherosclerosis in women but not in men: a ten-year cohort study in China
Atherosclerosis is becoming a significant health burden. Serum uric acid (SUA) is the final enzymatic product of purine metabolism and can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to explore the possible predictive value of SUA in the development of atherosclerosis in a healthy Chinese population.

The Association of Blood Urea Nitrogen to Serum Albumin Ratio with Short-Term Outcomes in Chinese Patients with Congestive Heart Failure: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Limited evidence exists on the prognostic outcomes of the blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio (B/A ratio) in congestive heart failure (CHF), particularly in developing countries with scarce heart failure epidemiological data. We aimed to investigate the association between B/A ratio and short-term outcomes in Chinese patients with CHF. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)
