Because of the rapid change in lifestyle China, there is concern that diabetes may become epidemic. We conducted a national study from June 2007 through May 2008 to estimate prevalence among Chinese adults.
Hypertension is the leading preventable cause of premature death worldwide. We examined global disparities hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control in 2010 compared secular changes from 2000 to 2010.We searched MEDLINE 1995 through 2014 supplemented with manual searches retrieved article references. included 135 population-based studies 968 419 adults 90 countries. Sex- age-specific prevalences each country were applied population data calculate regional numbers...
IMPORTANCE Noncommunicable chronic diseases have become the leading causes of mortality and disease burden worldwide.OBJECTIVE To investigate prevalence diabetes glycemic control in Chinese adult population.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Using a complex, multistage, probability sampling design, we conducted cross-sectional survey nationally representative sample 98 658 adults 2010.MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES Plasma glucose hemoglobin A 1c levels were measured after at least 10-hour overnight...
Hypertension can be detected at the primary health-care level and low-cost treatments effectively control hypertension. We aimed to measure prevalence of hypertension progress in its detection, treatment, from 1990 2019 for 200 countries territories.
Abstract The Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) programme seeks to elucidate the genetic architecture and biology of heart, lung, blood sleep disorders, with ultimate goal improving diagnosis, treatment prevention these diseases. initial phases focused on whole-genome sequencing individuals rich phenotypic data diverse backgrounds. Here we describe TOPMed goals design as well available resources early insights obtained from sequence data. include a variant browser, genotype...
Background: The metabolic syndrome is a common risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Objective: To examine the association between and chronic kidney disease microalbuminuria. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Third National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. Patients: Participants 20 years of age or older were studied in (n = 6217) microalbuminuria 6125) analyses. Measurements: was defined as presence 3 more following factors: elevated blood pressure, low high-density lipoprotein...
<h3>Background</h3> The incidence of congestive heart failure (CHF) has been increasing steadily in the United States during past 2 decades. We studied risk factors for CHF and their corresponding attributable First National Health Nutrition Examination Survey Epidemiologic Follow-up Study. <h3>Participants Methods</h3> A total 13 643 men women without a history at baseline examination were included this prospective cohort study. Risk measured using standard methods between 1971 1975....
With China's rapid economic development, the disease burden may have changed in country. We studied major causes of death and modifiable risk factors a nationally representative cohort 169,871 men women 40 years age older China.Baseline data on participants' demographic characteristics, medical history, lifestyle-related factors, blood pressure, body weight were obtained 1991 with use standard protocol. The follow-up evaluation was conducted 1999 2000, rate 93.4 percent.We documented 20,033...
IBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 23 (FGF-23) is an endocrine hormone that regulates phosphorus metabolism.Circulating levels of FGF-23 increase progressively as kidney function declines, eventually reaching concentrations in patients with chronic disease are among the highest any condition commonly encountered clinical practice. 1Fibroblast growth factor appropriate physiological adaptation to maintain neutral phosphate balance and normal serum setting reduced renal capacity for excretion.Preventing...
Most studies that have evaluated the association between body-mass index (BMI) and risks of death from any cause specific causes been conducted in populations European origin.We performed pooled analyses to evaluate BMI risk among more than 1.1 million persons recruited 19 cohorts Asia. The included approximately 120,700 deaths occurred during a mean follow-up period 9.2 years. Cox regression models were used adjust for confounding factors.In East Asians, including Chinese, Japanese,...
ABSTRACT. Several epidemiologic studies reported that persons with renal insufficiency might have increased cardiovascular disease-related mortality rates in select populations. The association between and all-cause during 16 yr of follow-up monitoring was examined among participants who were 30 to 74 age at the baseline examinations 1976 1980, urinary protein dipstick measurements ( n = 8786) or serum creatinine levels ≤3.0 mg/dl 6354), from Second National Health Nutrition Examination...
Among patients in the United States with chronic kidney disease, black are at increased risk for end-stage renal as compared white patients.In two studies, we examined effects of variants gene encoding apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) on progression disease. In African American Study Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK), evaluated 693 disease attributed to hypertension. Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) study, 2955 (46% whom had diabetes) according whether they 2 copies high-risk APOL1...
