Abstract The progression of cardiometabolic diseases is determined by both genetic and environmental factors. Gene-diet interactions may therefore be important in modulating the risks of developing metabolic diseases. The objectives were to investigate the effect of the interaction between BDNF Val66Met polymorphisms and Dietary Insulin Index and Insulin Load (DII and DIL) on Cardiometabolic Markers among diabetic patients. In this cross-sectional study, blood samples were collected from 667 patients. DIL & DII were defined using a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Genotyping the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism was conducted by the PCR-RFLP method. Interactions between dietary indices and gene variants were evaluated using a Generalized Linear Model (GLM). PGF2a concentrations were significantly higher among Val homozygotes than Met alleles carrier. This study revealed that, compared with individuals with the Val/Val genotype, those with the Met/Val or Met/Met genotype had lower BMI (P-interaction =0.04), TG (P-interaction=0.04), leptin (P-interaction =0.01), LDL (P-interaction=0.04) and TC (P-interaction =0.01) when they consumed diets higher on the DIL index. Moreover, the highest quartile of the DIL, compared to the lowest, showed increased in WC (P-interaction =0.02) and LDL/HDL (P-interaction =0.04) for Val/Val homozygotes compared to Met-allele carriers. BDNF Val66Met variants may interact with DIL and DII, thus be involved in the development of cardiometabolic risk factors. If diabetic patients with Met alleles regulate dietary intakes, they have a protective opportunity to regulate their cardiometabolic markers.

Purpose. The present study aims to investigate the prevalence of single and multiple thyroid nodules and its association with metabolic diseases in subjects who participated in the heath examination in China. Methods. This is a cross-sectional study. The participants who attend the physical examination at the Health Management Center of Southwest Hospital, Army Military Medical University, between January 2014 and December 2018, were included. Thyroid nodules were diagnosed by thyroid ultrasound. Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the association between metabolic diseases and nodular thyroid disease. Results. A total of 9,146 subjects were included in this study; of them, 2,961 were diagnosed with thyroid nodules, with a prevalence of 32.4%. The prevalence in women was significantly higher than that in men (45.2% vs 26.0%; χ2 = 339.56, P<0.001), and the prevalence was gradually increased with age (Z = 20.05, P<0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that advanced age, female gender, and diabetes mellitus were positively associated with thyroid nodule in the general population. Additionally, the female gender, advanced age, and high LDL-C concentration were positively associated with high risk of multiple thyroid nodules, compared with patients of single thyroid nodule. Males and females showed heterogeneous associations with single and multiple thyroid nodule risk. Conclusions. The prevalence of thyroid nodules was relatively high. Age, female gender, and diabetes are positively associated with nodular thyroid disease. High LDL cholesterolemia is more likely to be associated with multiple thyroid sarcoidosis.

Background and objectives: Several anthropometric and body composition parameters have been linked to arterial stiffness (AS) as a biomarker of cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about which of these closely related factors is more strongly associated with AS. The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship of different anthropometric and body composition parameters with AS in middle-aged adults. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 186 middle-aged participants (85 women, 101 men; age = 42.8 ± 12.6 years) evaluated as part of the Healthy UAL study, a population study conducted at the University of Almería with the main purpose of analyzing the etiology and risk factors associated with cardio-metabolic diseases. Anthropometric measures included neck, waist, and hip circumferences, as well as the waist-to-height ratio (WHtr). Bioimpedance-derived parameters included fat-free mass index (FFMI), fat mass index (FMI), and percent of body fat (%BF). AS was measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV). The relationships of interest were examined through stepwise regression analyses in which age and sex were also introduced as potential confounders. Results: Neck circumference (in the anthropometric model; R 2: 0.889; β: age = 0.855, neck = 0.204) and FFMI (in the bio-impedance model; R2: 0.891; β: age = 0.906, FFMI = 0.199) emerged as significant cross-sectional predictors of AS. When all parameters were included together (both anthropometry and bio-impedance), both neck circumference and FFMI appeared again as being significantly associated with AS (R2: 0.894; β: age = 0.882, FFMI = 0.126, neck = 0.093). Conclusion: It was concluded that FFMI and neck circumference are correlated with AS regardless of potential confounders and other anthropometric and bioimpedance-derived parameters in middle-aged adults.

Objectives: The newest revision to the International Classification of Diseases, the 11th edition (ICD-11) includes disease classifications from East Asian medicine, including traditional Japanese medicine (Kampo medicine). These disease classifications allow for comparisons between disease classifications from conventional medicine and Kampo medicine.Design/Location/Subjects/Interventions: This is an exploratory, cross-sectional study exploring the relationship between conventional medicine diagnoses and Kampo medicine diagnoses at a large Kampo clinic in Japan. Patients were seen from October 1st, 2014 to June 30th, 2019 and were 20 years of age or older.Outcome measures: Patients presented with one or more conventional medicine ICD-10 codes into the clinic and were given one descriptor from the ICD-11 within the heat-cold module, excess-deficiency module, and an optional body constituents module. The distribution of these Kampo medicine codes was examined in relation to conventional medicine chapters.Results: 1,209 patients were included in our final analysis. Patient number, ages, sex ratio, and BMI varied within conventional medicine ICD-10 chapters and Kampo medicine descriptor codes. Certain conventional medicine chapters are related to specific Kampo medicine descriptor codes, such as chapter IV (endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases) with excess, heat, and kidney qi deficiency.Conclusion: The advent of the ICD-11 allows for systematic, standardized comparisons between Kampo medicine, and contemporary medicine. In this exploratory study, our findings support the independence of Kampo medicine pattern descriptors with ICD-10 conventional medicine chapters. Code overrepresentations in relation to conventional medicine diseases and by age and sex should be an area of future investigation to best understand how to synergize and improve patient care.

Abstract Background Evidences have shown that noise could be a risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Since periodontitis and CVD are characterized by inflammation, it is reasonable to doubt that occupational/environmental noise is a risk factor for periodontitis. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between occupational/environmental noise and periodontitis in a nationally representative sample of Korean adults. Methods This cross-sectional study used data from the 7th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The study sample included 8327 adults aged 40 to 80 years old. Noise exposure and the duration of the exposure were assessed with self-report questionnaires. The dependent variable was periodontitis. Age, gender, place of residence, income, marital status, smoking, frequency of daily tooth brushing, recent dental checkup, and diabetes were included as covariates. Logistic regression analyses estimated the association between noise exposure and periodontitis. Results Those who were exposed to environmental noise during their lifetime had an increased prevalence of severe periodontitis (odds ratio [OR] 1.88; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05 to 3.40), and this association was strengthened as the duration of the environmental noise exposure was longer (OR of > 120 months 2.35 and OR of ≤120 months 1.49). There was a combined relationship for severe periodontitis between occupational and environmental noise exposure (OR of both exposures 2.62, OR of occupational exposure only 1.12, and OR of environmental exposure only 1.57). Conclusion Our study shows that noise exposure is associated with periodontitis, and the association was higher in the synergism between occupational and environmental interaction.

Abstract Background: Gender medicine focuses on how gender differences affect health status and diseases development and how they influence health services access and attitude to screening programmes. Endocrine diseases are influenced by many gender-related issues, some of which have not been sufficiently investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate gender difference in determinants of health (as lifestyle, level of education, area of origin, distance from hospital) and how these elements could influence diseases prevalence in an endocrine outpatients setting, with a special focus on oncological disease. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study enrolling patients referring for the first time to our Oncological Endocrinology Unit, between January 2019 to December 2019. Results: We enrolled 1107 consecutive patients. Mean age was 56.8 ± 15.0 years (77% females). The main reasons for referral were thyroid and bone diseases. We found a gender difference in some disease prevalences: malignant endocrine diseases and iatrogenic thyroid diseases were more frequent in males, while other thyroid disorders, adrenal and metabolic diseases and cancer treatment induced bone loss were higher in females. The frequency of oncological comorbidities was higher in females. No difference was found in the propensity to travel long distances to reach the hospital. In our population, women had a higher socio-cultural level and followed healthier lifestyle. In fact, alcohol and tobacco consumption was lower in females and women had lower BMI. The percentage of smokers or ex-smokers was higher in patients with any malignancy compared to patients with benign endocrine diseases. Conclusions: the study showed the importance of considering gender as a determinant of health, able to influence also lifestyle and habits, and as an element to keep in consideration to promote a healthier lifestyle and a targeted endocrine screening especially in oncological setting.

Objectives: Adopting an eating pattern complying with the Mediterranean diet not only reduces body fat mass and obesity risk, but also decreases the development of various health problems. However, Mediterranean countries have testified a reduced adherence during the past years and the adoption of a more westernized dietary pattern. The main aim of our study is to explore the Mediterranean diet adherence and to evaluate the relationship between KIDMED scores and selected variables school students in Hebron city, Palestine. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 360 voluntary female student, aged between 15-18 years. Socio-demographic data, nutritional habits, and anthropometric measurements were obtained from self-administered questionnaires. The Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for children and adolescents was used to assess the adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Results: Results indicated that 37.5% of the students had a low adherence to Mediterranean diet, 53.1% had a moderate adherence to Mediterranean diet, and 9.40% had a high adherence to Mediterranean diet. KIDMED scores are significantly associated all dietary habits listed below, with an exception for following a diet plan. Furthermore, it was noticed that KIDMED scores are negatively associated with age, first meal, and overnight fasting. On the other hand, the scores are positively associated with last meal, and number of main meals. Conclusions: In conclusion, results should plead for an increased awareness in Palestinian high- schools, supporting students to be more adherent to the Mediterranean diet, in order to prevent a further increase in metabolic diseases later in adulthood.
