Summary: Postload glucose spikes (PGS) have a significant impact on the prognosis of non-diabetic post-myocardial infarction survivors, with higher PGS values being associated with a higher rate of adverse cardiac events. PGS, determined through an oral glucose tolerance test, independently predicts MACE-free survival and improves the predictive performance of models, suggesting its value in evaluating post-MI prognosis.

Summary: The study found significant inverse dose-dependent trends of copper, tin, and zinc with E2; zinc with SHBG; copper and nickel with TT, as well as significant positive dose-dependent trend of iron with E2. Additionally, approximately inverted U-shaped associations existed between lead and SHBG, iron and TT. Furthermore, E2, SHBG, and TT were negatively associated with FBG level.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the associations between triazine herbicides and glycemia-related risk indicators in general adults. The results showed that triazine herbicides exposure was positively associated with abnormal glucose metabolism, and decreasing serum IgM partly mediated these associations among uninfected participants.

Summary: This study explored the associations between night-time sleep duration, midday napping duration, and bedtime with fasting glucose levels, finding that some of these associations were gender- and age-dependent. Night-time sleep duration, midday napping duration, and bedtime were all independently associated with the risk of hyperglycaemia.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of moderate altitude exposure on the gut microbiome and serum metabolome in healthy Chinese individuals, and found that such exposure can lower glucose levels and increase the levels of certain circulating amino acids, which are associated with the abundance and composition of gut microbiota. Further analysis revealed that specific species in the gut microbiota play a crucial role in mediating glucose levels. In addition, the beneficial effects of gut microbiota on glucose response were confirmed through a mouse model. The findings suggest that moderate altitude exposure may offer novel approaches to counter dysglycemia by targeting the gut microbiota and circulating metabolome.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) during a 6-year follow-up study. A total of 1,369 individuals from Xuzhou, central China, were followed up and divided into four groups based on their baseline GGT levels. The results showed that higher baseline GGT levels were associated with a faster annual mean increase in FBG, suggesting that GGT can be used for early detection of FBG-related glucose metabolism disorders.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between BMI and the risk of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in Chinese adults. The results show that obesity is an important risk factor for IGT and IFG in China, and the risk of IGT increases during the overweight stage.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the duration of daily physical exercise (PE) and the frequency of abnormal plasma glucose (PG) occurrences in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The results showed that the duration of moderate-intensity PE was negatively associated with the number of abnormal fasting PG occurrences, but not with the number of PG occurrences 2 hours after a standard diet.

Summary: The prevalence of hypertension in China has been increasing steadily over the past two to three decades, mainly due to increased life expectancy and lifestyle changes. High prevalence of grade 3 hypertension was found in the general population, increasing with age to 5% among individuals aged 65 and above. The risk factors for hypertension in China, such as physical inactivity and obesity, have dramatically increased, while sodium and potassium intake remained largely the same. This review summarizes the latest epidemiological data on hypertension in China, discusses specific risk factors, and describes ongoing nationwide initiatives to control hypertension, especially in low-resource rural areas.

Summary: There is seasonal variation in nighttime blood pressure, with the highest levels in summer and the lowest levels in winter. Nighttime blood pressure is positively associated with renal injury in terms of urinary albumin excretion, as well as with other markers of target organ damage. The association between nighttime systolic blood pressure and urinary albumin excretion is stronger in summer compared to winter.

Summary: Uncontrolled hypertension is a significant problem in Asia, and home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is an effective tool to manage hypertension. However, the recognition and practice of HBPM in Asia are suboptimal, with barriers including lack of understanding and concerns about accuracy and reliability of HBPM devices.

Summary: Automated cuff measured blood pressure is the global standard for diagnosing hypertension, but concerns exist regarding its accuracy. This study aimed to determine the relationship between individual variability in systolic blood pressure amplification and the accuracy of cuff blood pressure. It was found that cuff blood pressure significantly underestimated brachial blood pressure and that systolic blood pressure amplification correlated with cuff blood pressure accuracy.

Summary: The BPROAD study aims to assess the effects of intensive blood pressure control on cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes. The study compares the occurrence of major cardiovascular events between the intensive blood pressure control group and the standard blood pressure control group. The findings of this study will provide important guidance for blood pressure management in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Summary: Hyperhomocysteinemia and hypertension together increase the risk of stroke. Combining folic acid with ACE inhibitors effectively lowers homocysteine levels and blood pressure, reducing the risk of first stroke. Amlodipine can be used as an alternative for individuals with intolerance to ACE inhibitors.
