The association between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in US adults aged 40 years older is unknown. goal of this study was to ascertain a possible two. Data were obtained from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005 2008. WWI calculated by dividing circumference (WC) square root body weight (kg). AMD diagnosed based on distinctive features observed fundus, using standard classification system. Weighted logistic regression...
The renin-angiotensin system plays a major role in regulating blood pressure and maintaining electrolyte volume homeostasis. Previously, the angiotensinogen gene, which encodes key substrate for renin within this system, has been reported linked to associated with essential hypertension White Europeans, African-Caribbeans, Japanese. Therefore, we investigated whether gene might be similarly implicated pathogenesis of Chinese by carrying out linkage analysis 310 hypertensive sibling pairs....
Respiratory allergens such as dust, gases/fumes, and hay smoke, which are frequently present in agricultural settings, can cause or aggravate asthma. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between occupational environmental exposures asthma Chinese rural communities. population consisted 28,946 people 15 years old older, living areas Anhui province, China. A modified Mandarin translation ATS-DLD questionnaire administered by trained interviewers request information about...
Abstract —Previous studies of hypertension in humans and experimental animal models have identified a number candidate genes that since been implicated as possibly contributing to essential hypertension. Among them are the encoding angiotensinogen, renin, β- γ-subunits epithelial sodium channel ( β/γ-ENaC ), α-adducin, kallikrein KLK ). To examine role possible contribution these ethnic Chinese, well epistatic interaction among them, we studied large cohort hypertensive sib pairs from China....
In recent years, built environmental characteristics have been linked to childhood overweight, but the results remain inconsistent across studies. The present study examines associations between several features and body weight status (BMI) z-score among a large sample of preschool children in city Hannover, Germany. Walkability (Index), green space availability, playground availability related children’s home environments were measured using data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). These environment...
Abstract Background Studies on the association between surrounding greenspace and being overweight in childhood show inconsistent results, possibly because they differ widely their definition measurement of greenspace. Our aim was to evaluate whether with depends different data sources. Methods Based from school entry examinations 22,678 children city Hannover, Germany, 2010 14, availability examined. Three sources were derived for a set 51 areas city: The Normalized Difference Vegetation...
Background: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability among survivors. Past literature already investigated the biological sex differences in stroke outcome, still limited work on gender published. Therefore, study aimed at investigating whether and sociocultural survivors play role as determinants quality life across Europe Canada. Methods: Data were gathered from European Health Information Survey (EHIS, n=316,333) Canadian Community (CCHS, n=127,462) datasets. Main outcomes...
Background: Beyond the risk of thromboembolic stroke, people with atrial fibrillation (AF) are substantially burdened a higher incidence cardiovascular mortality, even among patients treated anticoagulants. The reasons behind these outcomes only partially understood. Social determinants health (SDOH), strong independent predictors major adverse events (MACE) in several cardiac diseases, may play role; however, their impact on AF prognosis and differences SDOH by sex have been insufficiently...
Abstract Migration background is accepted as an important health determinant in public research. This contribution presents the findings on ethnic differences prevalence of children overweight derived from school entry examination data Hannover Region 2010–2014. The was significantly higher among migrant (12.7%) than non-migrant (6.9%). While all groups showed educational gradient overweight, tended to be more evident children. Further efforts childhood prevention are needed successfully...
Objective To understand the current status of social support among elderly, aged ≥ 60 years, as well to identify influencing factors and provide a reference for relevant health care services. Methods Publications about elderly were collected by searching database CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, Pubmed, Web Science. A random effects model was employed according results heterogeneity (I2>50%) pool extracted data. Results Thirty-two articles included, with total sample 21 763 articles....
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a heightened risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Current prediction models often overlook potential sex differences, as well the combined influence gendered social determinants health (SDOH) traditional factors. The objective this study to compare associations between and outcomes in stratified by sex. Methods: Participants were sourced from EURObservational Research Programme-Atrial Fibrillation (ESC-EHRA EORP-AF) General...
The age-specific body mass index (BMI) is the most widely used tool for monitoring childhood overweight. However, different BMI classification reference systems imply obstacles comparisons. In Germany, two national references are currently used: Kromeyer-Hauschild (KH) and KIGGS reference. This study aims to test agreement within these international systems.
