Social determinants of health and cardiometabolic risk factors in Nepal: A scoping review
Cardiometabolic risk factors are modifiable contributors to cardiometabolic disease and adverse outcomes. Cardiometabolic risk factors are emerging health concerns among adults in low and middle-income countries. The role of social determinants of health on cardiometabolic risk factors is unclear in Nepal. This scoping review aimed to synthesize the existing literature examining the relationships between social determinants and cardiometabolic risk factors and identify research gaps.

Performance of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Fibrosis Score in Estimating Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk
It is currently unclear whether the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) fibrosis score, when compared to major anthropometric indices, is useful in estimating the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Sex-specific differences in the effect of lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio on subclinical myocardial injury in the general population free from cardiovascular disease
The Lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) combines information on immune and inflammatory status. Lymphocytes reflect immune health, while C-reactive protein (CRP) signals systemic inflammation. Some studies have linked LCR with cardiovascular outcomes, suggesting it could help identify at-risk individuals. However, its clinical utility needs further research validation. To investigate the association between lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) and subclinical myocardial injury (SC-MI) in individuals who are free from cardiovascular disease (CVD) within the general population.

Prevalence and predictive role of hypertriglyceridemia in statin-treated patients at very high risk: insights from the START Study
Elevated triglyceride (TG) levels seem to identify subjects at increased cardiovascular risk, independent of LDL-C levels. We sought to evaluate the predictive role of hypertriglyceridemia, defined as TG levels ≥150 mg/dl, in very high risk (VHR) patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) treated with statins.

Carotid intima layer thickness but not intima-media thickness is related to coronary artery calcification in type 2 diabetes individuals: results from the Brazilian Diabetes Study
Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is inconsistent in predicting cardiovascular risk. This may stem from the variability of the media thickness (cM) outweighing the intimal thickness (cIT) as the sign of atherosclerosis. Thus, we evaluated in type 2 diabetes (T2D) individuals, the association between carotid measures and coronary calcification (CAC). (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Association between visceral fat area and serum uric acid in Chinese adults: a cross-sectional study
Hyperuricemia has become a vital public health problem affecting the health of residents. The visceral fat area (VFA) is closely related to many chronic diseases. However, the association between VFA and hyperuricemia within the Chinese adult population remains nebulous. The aim of the research is to assess the relationship between VFA and serum uric acid levels. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Trends and Disparities in China's Cardiovascular Disease Burden from 1990 to 2019
In order to find the exact strategies in the intervening of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), it is very necessary to assess their risk factors systematically. Here, we used the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) to review the long-term trends and epidemiological characteristics in Chinese. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio predicts adverse cardiovascular events in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion
Uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) is a novel index of metabolism and inflammation proposed by recent studies.The prognostic value of UHR is undetermined in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of UHR with adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CTO. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Anthropometric measures and physical examination could be used to assess phenotypic GLIM (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition) criteria in heart failure patients
The assessment of muscle mass using technology-based methods is less commonly performed when applying the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria due to the lack of skilled clinical nutrition practitioners and/or equipment. Based on the predictive validity of poor health outcomes and feasibility in clinical practice, this study aimed to analyze whether the measurement of calf circumference (CC), mid-upper arm circumference (MAC), and the physical examination could be used as substitutes for muscle mass assessment, as well as handgrip strength (HGS) used as a substitution when applying the GLIM criteria...

Changes in screen time from 4 to 7 years of age, dietary patterns and obesity: findings from the Generation XXI birth cohort
Increased screen exposure is associated with unhealthy eating behaviours and obesity. Screen time (ST) changes from pre-school to school age, and associations with dietary patterns (DP) and obesity remain unknown. We, therefore, analysed ST changes from 4 to 7 years of age, associated factors, and the relation with DP and obesity. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Statins under-treatment and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation. Insights from the nationwide START registry
Statins are mainstream drugs for cardiovascular (CV) prevention, but under-prescription is an important clinical challenge. Data on the use of single statins as the rate of under-prescription in atrial fibrillation (AF) are lacking. To evaluate the association of statin underuse with mortality risk in a large AF cohort.
