Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in a Chinese population
Triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio may play a role in predicting cardiovascular events. We aimed to prospectively explore the association between the TG/HDL-C ratio and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), ischemic stroke, as well as coronary heart disease (CHD) in a Chinese population.

Prevalence and Risk Factors Governing the Loss of Muscle Function in Elderly Sarcopenia Patients: a Longitudinal Study in China with 4 Years of follow-up
ConclusionsAge leads to a decline in muscle strength and function. In elderly Chinese patients with sarcopenia, the rates of reduced grip strength, gait-speed and sarcopenia increased. A high BMI was protective against the decline in muscle mass and sarcopenia, but represented a risk factor for low gait speed. Stoke was identified to cause a loss of gait speed in sarcopenia patients.

Plasma magnesium and the risk of new-onset hyperuricemia in hypertensive patients.
Abstract We aimed to evaluate the relationship of plasma magnesium with the risk of new-onset hyperuricemia, and examine any possible effect modifiers in hypertensive patients. This is a post-hoc analysis of the Uric acid (UA) Sub-study of the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT). A total of 1685 participants were included in the current study. The main outcome was new-onset hyperuricemia defined as a UA concentration ≥417 μmol/L in men or ≥357 μmol/L in women. The secondary outcome was a change in UA concentration defined as UA at the exit visit minus that at baseline. During a median follow-up dur...

A Multicenter Study of Multimorbidity in Older Adult Inpatients in China
ConclusionsMultimorbidity is common in older Chinese inpatients with a national prevalence of 69.3% that increases in line with age. Age, region, area, BMI, and daily activities were independent factors significantly associated with multimorbidity in older inpatients. Clinicians should therefore focus more attention on multimorbidity.

Metabolic syndrome and risks of carotid atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events in community-based older adults in China.
CONCLUSIONS: MS was significantly associated with IMT and the presence of carotid plaque and with positively increased risks of MI, stroke, and CVD mortality independent of CVD risk factors in older Chinese adults. PMID: 31826385 [PubMed - in process]

Association between serum hepatocyte growth factor and prognosis of ischemic stroke: the role of blood lipid status
ConclusionsThere was a modified effect of blood lipid status on the association between serum HGF and ischemic stroke prognosis. Elevated serum HGF was associated with outcomes in ischemic stroke patients with dyslipidemia, especially low HDL-C. Further studies are warranted to replicate our findings and clarify the potential biological mechanisms.

Tea consumption and risk of stroke in Chinese adults: a prospective cohort study of 0.5 million men and women.
CONCLUSIONS: Among Chinese adults, higher consumption of tea, especially green tea, was associated with a lower risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. PMID: 31711152 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Lipoprotein(a) levels are associated with coronary severity but not with outcomes in Chinese patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention
ConclusionLp(a) is an independent predictor of the prevalence of more complex coronary artery lesions (SYNTAX score ≥ 23) in patients with PCI. In addition, our study has shown that Lp(a) has no relationship with long-term cardiovascular outcomes in Chinese patients with PCI.

Value of Triglyceride-glucose Index for the Estimation of Ischemic Stroke Risk: Insights from a general Population
ConclusionThe prevent ischemic stroke correlated proportionally with the increment of TyG, implicating the linearity of TyG as an indicator of ischemic stroke. Our findings suggest the potential value of TyG to optimize the risk stratification of ischemic stroke in a general population.

Egg intake in extremely undernourished Chinese women during reproductive age and subsequent nonfatal perimenopausal coronary events.
CONCLUSIONS: Egg intake under extreme undernutrition status during the childbearing period plays a critical role in preventing NCE during the postmenopausal period. PMID: 31464405 [PubMed - in process]

Association of plasma retinol levels with incident cancer risk in Chinese hypertensive adults: a nested case-control study.
In conclusion, there was a significant inverse dose-response association between plasma retinol and the risk of digestive system cancers. However, a U-shaped association was observed between plasma retinol and the risk of non-digestive cancers (with a turning point approximately 68·2 μg/dl).

Intra-individual variability of total cholesterol is associated with cardiovascular disease mortality: A cohort study
ConclusionBoth too low and too high baseline TC level were associated with higher risk of total, cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality. Variability of TC could be a risk factor of total and CVD mortality, independent of mean TC level. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings.
