BACKGROUND: The glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and a body shape index (ABSI) are predictors strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and outcomes. However, whether they have additive effects on CVD risk is unknown. This study aimed to inve...
BACKGROUND: The risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) varies among individuals and is related to a variety of lifestyle factors in addition to the presence of chronic diseases.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for gallstone formation, but traditional anthropometric measures (e.g., BMI, waist circumference) inadequately assess metabolically active visceral adiposity. The novel Metabolic Score fo...

INTRODUCTION: Observational studies have indicated that individuals with hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) tend to exhibit elevated plasma atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), defined as log (triglyceride [TG]/high-density lipoprotein chole...
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a known risk factor for breast cancer (BC), but conventional metrics such as body mass index (BMI) may insufficiently capture central adiposity. The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) has emerged as a potentially superior anthro...
This cross-sectional investigation seeks to examine the association between dietary omega-3 fatty acids (including α-linolenic acid [ALA], eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA], and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) and biomarkers of cellular aging, specifically DNA...
Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, significantly impacts patient survival, prompting the need for accurate prognostic tools. Lifestyle factors and physical activity levels have been identified as critical modifiable r...
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative condition, the effect of obesity on PD remains controversial. We aimed to investigate the associations of obesity patterns on PD and all-cause mortality, while developing machine l...
BACKGROUND: Patients with cancer and cancer survivors often experience multiple chronic health conditions, which can impact symptom burden and treatment outcomes. Despite the high prevalence of multimorbidity, research on cancer prognosis has predomi...
OBJECTIVE: Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) share common risk factors and frequently co-occur, leading to poorer outcomes. Life's Essential 8 (LE8), a novel metric for cardiovascular health, may provide insights i...
