Featured Article : Association between the hemoglobin A1c/High-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and stroke incidence: a prospective nationwide cohort study in China

By Chaojuan Huang, Hongtao You, Yuyang Zhang, Ligang Fan, Xingliang Feng & Naiyuan Shao

In this study, the authors utilized data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study spanning from 2011 to 2018. They assessed the link between HbA1c/HDL-C levels and stroke incidence.

The findings revealed that elevated HbA1c/HDL-C levels are significantly associated with increased stroke risk. This underscores the potential of using HbA1c/HDL-C as a clinical marker for assessing long-term stroke risk and guiding preventive measures in healthcare practices. Read full article here.

Featured Article : Association between metabolic score for visceral fat index and BMI-adjusted skeletal muscle mass index in American adults

A recent study explored the connection between metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), revealing important insights into how abdominal obesity impacts muscle health. The findings indicated that increased visceral fat is associated with lower muscle mass among U.S. adults. Read full article here.

Featured Article: Association between body roundness index and risk of osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study

This study explores connection between body roundness index (BRI) and osteoarthritis (OA). The researchers utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning from 1999 to 2018, involving 12,946 individuals.
The developed prediction model demonstrated potential that combining BRI with other easily accessible factors was helpful in assessing and managing high-risk OA groups. Read full article here.
