Abstract Background and aims Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, has been considered a risk factor for diabetic complications. Many obesity indices have established, including neck circumference (NC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI) the Chinese (CVAI). However, studies investigating associations between these complications are limited. The objective of this study was to investigate with cardiovascular cerebrovascular disease...

Abstract Background: Non-communicable chronic diseases have become the leading causes of disease burden worldwide. The trends and “metabolic associated fatty liver disease” (MAFLD) are unknown. We aimed to investigate cardiovascular renal burdens in adults with MAFLD non-alcoholic (NAFLD). Methods: Nationally representative data were analyzed including from 19,617 non-pregnant aged ≥20 years cross-sectional US National Health Nutrition Examination Survey periods, 1999 2002, 2003 2006, 2007...
The fat-to-muscle mass ratio (FMR) might be an indicator to assess type 2 diabetes risk independent of general obesity. However, no longitudinal studies have explored the extent which total and regional FMRs may confer risks. We aimed measure sex-specific associations between arm, leg, trunk whole body incident diabetes.A 464 817 participants (207 286 men 257 531 women, mean age 56.5 ± 8.2 56.2 8.0 years old, respectively) free at baseline were included in this prospective cohort study with...
Abstract Background Limited studies have explored the association between visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass and fat‐to‐muscle ratio (FMR) mortality. We aimed to evaluate sex‐specific of VAT FMR with all‐cause cause‐specific mortality by age. Methods A total 438 896 participants (49.8% men, mean age ± standard deviation: 57 8 years for men; 56 women) were included from UK Biobank cohort. The nature was predictive, as obtained sex‐stratified, non‐linear prediction models. Fat muscle estimated...
Unhealthy sleep behaviors may be potential risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to examine the associations of combined patterns and genetic susceptibility with incident CKD.This large-scale prospective cohort study included 370,671 participants without CKD at baseline (2006-2010) in UK Biobank data.
