Importance The effect of continued treatment with tirzepatide on maintaining initial weight reduction is unknown. Objective To assess the tirzepatide, diet and physical activity, maintenance reduction. Design, Setting, Participants This phase 3, randomized withdrawal clinical trial conducted at 70 sites in 4 countries a 36-week, open-label lead-in period followed by 52-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled included adults body mass index greater than or equal to 30 27 weight-related...
ABSTRACT Hip fracture, which is associated with substantial morbidity and long-term mortality, imposes a major burden on the healthcare system. Diabetes risk factor for osteoporosis, crucial of hip fracture. However, epidemiological studies investigating fracture among patients type 2 diabetes are limited. This study explored association between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in people aged 65 years older. We conducted retrospective cohort 20 025 older who participated National Case Management...
This nationwide population-based study investigated the risk of Parkinson disease (PD) in relation to diabetes mellitus (DM) through National Health Insurance Research Database Taiwan. A retrospective was conducted, consisting 36,294 patients who were newly diagnosed with DM between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2006 108,882 individuals without as healthy controls from insurance claims data Taiwan's Institutes Dataset. The subjects followed up until 2011 or first manifestation PD. hazard...
To develop cut-off points of muscle mass, gait speed and handgrip strength; to examine the prevalence sarcopenia, relationship between sarcopenia stages functional limitations disability by using these points.We pooled individual participant data 2867 community-dwelling older adults from five cohort studies. We defined point a mass index (ASM/ht(2)) as values two standard deviations below sex-specific means young population or 20th percentile distribution in our study population. The...
Two antigenically distinct influenza B lineages have co-circulated since the 1980s, yet inactivated trivalent vaccines (TIVs) include strains of A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and only one from either Victoria or Yamagata lineage. This means that exposure to B-lineage viruses mismatched TIV is frequent, reducing vaccine protection. Formulations including both could improve protection against circulating viruses. We assessed a candidate quadrivalent (QIV) containing versus in adults stable health.
Nonverbal communication plays a key role in conveying emotions during clinical interactions, but assessing it can be challenging. This study aims to develop model for nonverbal using facial expression recognition and deep learning. A hybrid approach combining convolutional neural network (CNN)-based face detection Extra Trees classifier was used leverage CNN's feature extraction Trees' classification abilities. The involved 88 nursing students participating exercises with standardized...
Impaired lung function is associated with obesity and insulin resistance. In this study, we investigated the relationship between metabolic syndrome impaired in adults.A total of 46,514 subjects 20 years over (21,669 men 24,845 women, mean age = 37.3 +/- 11.2 37.0 11.3 years, respectively) were recruited from four nationwide MJ Health Screening Centers Taiwan 1998 to 2000. Metabolic was defined using National Cholesterol Education Panel (NCEP) criteria or America Heart Association/National...
Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is composed of cardiovascular risk factors including insulin resistance, obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Most the components MetS have been linked to development neoplasm. The purpose this study was evaluate relationship between individual colorectal adenoma. Methods subjects were recruited from a pool 4872 individuals who underwent health check-up examination during period January 2006 May 2008. Each participant fulfilled structured...
Successful aging in old age is important. However, the determinants of successful vary across populations due to cultural differences, and only a limited number studies have addressed these Taiwan population. This study aimed evaluate via better physical mental functions as well explore associated an elderly population that had no impaired cognitive function. A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted January 2009 Taichung, Taiwan. total 903 persons (≥65 years) without function...
Glycemic variation as an independent predictor of ischemic stroke in type 2 diabetic patients remains unclear. This study examined visit-to-visit variations fasting plasma glucose (FPG), represented by the coefficient (CV), for predicting independently, regardless glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and other conventional risk factors such patients. Type enrolled National Diabetes Care Management Program, ≥30 years old free (n = 28,354) 2002 to 2004 were included, related analyzed with extended Cox...
OBJECTIVE The relationship between glycemic variability and the incidence of Alzheimer disease (AD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is unclear. aim this study was to examine visit-to-visit variations fasting plasma glucose (FPG) glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) represented by coefficient variation (CV) determine whether they were independently associated AD, irrespective HbA1c other traditional risk factors such patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Patients T2DM enrolled...
How does once-weekly subcutaneous tirzepatide affect maintenance of weight loss in individuals with obesity or overweight?
Abstract Background As a result of metabolic syndrome becoming an important issue during recent decades, many studies have explored the risk factors contributing to its development. However, less attention has been paid associated with sedentary behavior, especially television viewing. This study examined association between viewing time and having in population Taiwanese subjects. Methods community-based cross-sectional included 2,353 subjects (1,144 men 1,209 women) aged 40 over from...
This study aimed to examine whether poor glycemic control, measured by glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) and other cardiovascular risk factors, can predict diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Patients aged ≥30 years DM, enrolled the National Diabetes Care Management Program, free of DPN (n = 37,375) period 2002 2004 were included followed up until 2011. The related factors analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression models. For an average...
Limited data exist regarding metabolic risk factors for deaths from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in aging individuals. We investigated the association between diabetes, dyslipidemia, and HCC mortality those aged 40 years or more (middle-aged elderly). In this prospective cohort study based on nationwide health screening units, we consecutively followed middle-aged elderly participants who had no chronic hepatitis B C virus infection received January 1 1998 to December 31 2008. There were...
