Summary: Patients with hypertension have a higher risk of developing dementia. This study aimed to determine the relative importance of different risk factors in the development of dementia among hypertensive patients. Data from the Korean National Insurance Service database was used in a population-based cohort study. Age, comorbidity burden, and female sex were identified as the strongest predictors of dementia. Physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity were also found to contribute to the risk. Overall, controlling comorbidities and promoting physical activity are crucial in preventing dementia in hypertensive patients.

Summary: Obesity is linked to chronic inflammation and may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes in youth. This study investigated the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and insulin sensitivity, beta-cell function, and response to lifestyle intervention in Latino youth with obesity. The findings showed that obesity-related inflammatory mediators were associated with T2D risk factors but were not affected by lifestyle intervention in Latino youth.

Summary: This study examined the prevalence of >= 150 min/wk of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and its associations with measures of obesity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiometabolic risk factors in healthy adults with overweight or obesity. The findings suggest that some adults with overweight or obesity may be more active than they perceive themselves to be, and accumulating >= 150 min/wk of MVPA may have favorable effects on weight and adiposity status.

Summary: Identification of risk factors associated with incident fractures among middle-aged women and men revealed age, sex, body mass index, previous fracture, family history of fracture, leisure-time physical activity, heavy work, living alone, smoking, and alcohol consumption as significant factors. Individuals with more risk factors had a higher fracture risk, while moderate leisure-time physical activity was associated with lower risk.

Summary: This study aims to assess the distribution and prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in a rural region of the Scottish Highlands, identify target risk factors for intervention, and develop a model to define clusters of risk factors. Data from 2025 patients in NHS Highlands hospital were collected and analyzed. The key risk factors identified were hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and elevated body mass index (BMI). Cluster analysis showed a high prevalence of elevated BMI and its association with hyperlipidemia and hypertension. This information can help improve the effectiveness of interventions. Rating: 8/10.

Summary: Prolonged exercise can lead to the release of cardiac troponin. The magnitude of troponin release decreases with successive days of exercise in healthy individuals and those with cardiovascular risk factors, but not in patients with established cardiovascular disease.

Summary: There has been a significant increase in the prevalence of food allergy worldwide in the past few decades. Recent alterations in diet and environmental factors are believed to be the main driving forces behind this rapid increase. Understanding the potential risk factors for food allergy can greatly benefit intervention and therapy progress.

Summary: This study examines the association between midlife leisure-time physical activity and hearing loss in older ages. Results show that meeting physical activity recommendations during midlife is associated with better hearing and reduced risk of hearing loss in older ages.

Summary: Increasing the volume of aerobic exercise by time spent exercising significantly decreases the number of nonresponders. Some women did not improve their fitness capacity despite high exercise adherence levels. 150 minutes per week of exercise is sufficient to decrease the predicted risk of cancer mortality.

Summary: This study evaluated a new multivariable closed-loop glucose controller with automatic carbohydrate recommendation in adults with type 1 diabetes during and after exercise. The results showed that the system effectively maintained glucose levels within the target range and reduced the risk of hypoglycemia, even with reduced carbohydrate intake.
