Awareness of hypertension, as well its prevalence, treatment, and control status, has not been comprehensively investigated in Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR), China.A survey was conducted on a randomly sampled population 1,410 participants (n = 638 men) aged 18-93 years 2012. Blood pressure individually measured twice. Awareness, hypertension were assessed by interview-administered questionnaire.Prevalence 34% Macau, similar to the United States (30%) Kingdom (31%).

The association between renal cell cancer (RCC) and intake of fruit, vegetables nutrients was examined in a population-based case–control study 323 cases 1827 controls; dietary obtained using mailed questionnaire. Cancer risks were estimated by OR 95 % CI, adjusting for age, sex, smoking, obesity, hypertension, proxy status, alcohol consumption fat energy. Intake associated with decreased risk RCC (OR 0·5; CI 0·3, 0·7; P trend = 0·002), (top compared to the bottom quartile intake). When...

With rising longevity, increasing numbers of older people are experiencing changes in their everyday family and social life, financial status, a greater number chronic conditions affecting health. We took the opportunity to explore these relationships with worry group volunteer community-living elderly ( n = 310). Findings showed that those under 75 years age had higher risk worrying (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.0–3.1) compared groups. Women worried more than men an important finding was health such as...
Chinese women are known to have both a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25OHD) <50 nmol/l). Associations between sleep duration circulating 25OHD recently been reported but, our knowledge, these associations not studied in older populations. We thus investigated whether was associated with status population from Macao, China, modified the association MetS deficiency. In 207 (>55 years) Macanese, anthropometry, blood samples...
Introduction The global burden of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is steadily increasing. Experimental studies have demonstrated that a novel hormone secreted by bone cells, osteocalcin (OC), can stimulate beta-cell proliferation and improve insulin sensitivity in mice. Observational humans investigated the relationship between OC metabolic parameters, T2DM. Importantly, few reported on undercarboxylated form (ucOC), which putative active suggested to affect glucose metabolism. Objectives We will...
Purpose: Sacral ulcers are a serious mortality risk for older adults; thus, we aimed to determine sacral ulcer factors among adults who were recently admitted rehabilitation hospitals. Method: We conducted retrospective cohort study using the Texas Inpatient Discharge database (2021). The included 1,290 hospital patients aged ≥60 years diagnosed with ulcers. control group comprised 37,626 without Binary logistic regression was used identify risks development adjusting patient demographics,...
