    Abstract: Objectives. Cognitive decline could be seen as the sign of preclinical phase of dementia, which was found to be sex differentiated. Previous studies had discovered that there might be some link between abnormal sleep duration and cognitive performance. Additionally, hypertension was found to be one of the important risk factors for cognitive decline and abnormal sleep duration was also a significant risk factor for hypertension. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate sex differences in the association of sleep duration with cognitive performance and to further explore potential effect modifiers that may exist. Methods. Data analyzed in this study was from the China H-type Hypertension Registry Study. Sleep duration was assessed with a sleep questionnaire and categorized as 〈 5 hours, 5-8 hours, and ≥8 hours. Cognitive performance was evaluated with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Result. A total of 9527 subjects were included. The average age was 63.7 ± 9.8 years. Linear regression analyses showed that the association between long sleep duration (≥8 h) and MMSE score adjusting for pertinent covariables was stronger in female ( β = − 0.95 , 95% CI: -1.23 to -0.68, P 〈 0.001 ) than in male ( β = − 0.29 , 95% CI: -0.53 to -0.06, P = 0.013 ). Furthermore, there was a significant interaction between sleep duration and age on cognitive performance only in female. Conclusion. In summary, this study found that long sleep duration (≥8 h) was associated with poorer cognitive performance. Furthermore, this association was more pronounced in female than in male, especially in older female.

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of marital status with cognitive function and to examine the potential effect modifiers in Chinese hypertensive populations. Methods A total of 9,525 adult Chinese hypertensive patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Cognitive function, as the dependent variable in our study, was assessed by the Chinese version of the Mini‐Mental State Examination (MMSE). We adjusted for potential confounding factors in multiple linear regression models to examine the relationship of marital status with cognitive function. In addition, we divided the population according to sex to explore whether there were sex-specific differences. Results Among the 9,525 study participants, the mean (SD) age for men was 63.5 (10.3) years, and the mean MMSE score was 24.9 ± 5.0, whereas for women, the mean (SD) age was 63.8 (9.3) years, and the mean MMSE score was 19.4 ± 6.4. Unmarried persons had lower scores on the MMSE and lower subscores in each of the cognitive domains. A stronger correlation between marital status and a lower MMSE score was statistically significant in men (unmarried men: β = -1.55; 95% CI: -1.89, -1.21) but not women (unmarried women: β = -0.22; 95% CI: -0.56, 0.12; p interaction = 0.006). Compared to men who were widowed or divorced, never married men were more likely to have lower MMSE scores (β = -2.30, 95% CI -3.10,—1.50; p   〈  0.001). Conclusions Our study demonstrated that being unmarried is an extremely important but neglected social risk factor for cognitive function. Sex was a strong effect modifier: being unmarried was correlated with a higher risk of cognitive decline than being married in Chinese hypertensive men, especially among older men, but this correlation was not observed among women. Moreover, never married men showed poorer cognitive function than those who were divorced or widowed.

    Abstract: Background and aims: Previous studies have indicated that Plasma total bilirubin (TBiL) might play an essential role in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, the effects of different levels of TBiL on PAD development remain uncertain. We aimed to examine the TBiL and the prevalence of PAD among Chinese adults with hypertension, with particular attention paid to sex differences . Methods: A total of 10,900 hypertensive subjects were included in the current study. The mean age of our study participants was 63.86 ± 9.25 years, and there were 5,129 males and 5,771 females. The outcome was peripheral arterial disease (PAD), defined as present when the ankle-brachial index (ABI) of either side was ≤0.90. The association between TBiL and PAD was examined using multivariate logistic regression analysis and the restricted cubic spline. Results: Of 10,900 hypertensive participants, 350 (3.21%) had PAD, and the mean plasma total bilirubin was 14.66 (6.86) μmol/L. The mean TBiL was 15.67 μmol/L in men and 13.76 μmol/L in women. The smoothing curve showed that a U-shaped curve association existed between TBiL and the prevalence of PAD in Chinese adults with hypertension. When stratified by sex, TBiL was significantly U-shaped associated with PAD among men but not women. Among males, the inflection point was 11.48 μmol/L; to the left inflection point, the effect size and 95% CI were 0.08, 0.01, 0.66, respectively; to the right inflection point, OR, 5.16; 95% CI,1.64, 16.25. Conclusions: We found an independent U-shaped association between TBiL and the prevalence of PAD among hypertensive subjects and a differential association between men and women. We further revealed a turning point by threshold effect analysis.

    Abstract: Objective: This prospective study examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and all-cause mortality in Chinese adults without morbid obesity. Methods: We prospectively examined the relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality in 12,608 Southern Chinese adults with age ≥35 years who participated in the National Key R & amp;D Program from 2013–2014 to 2019–2020. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the association between BMI and all-cause mortality. Results: The prevalence of being underweight, normal weight, overweight and having moderate obesity was 7.36%, 55.83%, 28.51% and 8.31%, respectively. A total of 683 (5.65%) deaths occurred during a median follow-up period of 5.61 years. The Cox proportional hazards models indicated that a continuous BMI level was negatively associated with all-cause mortality [adjusted-hazard ratio (HR) per 1 kg/m 2 increase: 0.96, 95% CI 0.93 to 0.98, p & lt; 0.001]. Furthermore, the HRs of all-cause mortality in the underweight, overweight and moderate obesity groups were 1.31 (1.05, 1.64), 0.89 (0.73, 1.08) and 0.64 (0.44, 0.92), respectively in the confounder model relative to the normal weight group. Survival analysis further confirmed this inverse association of the four BMI categories with mortality. Conclusion: BMI was negatively associated with all-cause mortality in southern Chinese adults without morbid obesity. Compared to the normal weight category, adults in the moderate obesity category had lower all-cause mortality, whereas being underweight was associated with increased all-cause mortality.

    Abstract: There is still a lack of effective biomarkers for the prediction of the risk of bleeding events among patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) taking dabigatran. This study aimed to investigate the association between change in total bilirubin (CTBIL) and risk of bleeding among patients with NVAF taking dabigatran. The CTBIL was the difference in serum total bilirubin at out of follow-up from baseline serum total bilirubin. A total of 486 patients with NVAF treated with dabigatran (110 mg twice daily) were recruited from 12 centers in China from February 2015 to December 2017. All patients were followed for 3 months. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between the CTBIL and bleeding. Moreover, a Cox proportional hazards regression with cubic spline functions and smooth curve fitting (the penalized spline method) and 2 piecewise Cox proportional hazards models were used to address the nonlinearity between CTBIL and bleeding. The mean (SD) follow-up duration was 81.2 (20.2) days. In all, 67 patients experienced bleeding events. A U-shaped association was observed between the CTBIL and bleeding, with increased hazard ratios (HRs) in relation to either low or high CTBIL levels. For CTBIL 〈 6.63 µmol/L, the HR (95% confidence interval [CI]) was 0.90 (0.84-0.96), and for CTBIL ≥6.63 µmol/L, the HR (95% CI) was 1.35 (1.14-1.60). Our findings showed a U-shaped relationship between CTBIL and bleeding. Both low and high levels of CTBIL were associated with a higher risk of bleeding.

    Abstract: The authors aimed to evaluate the relationship of serum albumin with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and investigate any possible effect modifiers in hypertensive patients. In the cross‐sectional study, a total of 10,900 Chinese hypertensive patients aged ≥18 years were enrolled. The outcome was PAD, defined as an ankle‐brachial index (ABI) 〈 0.90 in either leg. The overall mean (SD) serum albumin was 46.8 (4.2) g/L. There were significant inverse associations of serum albumin with PAD (per SD increment; OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.72, 0.94). Compared with the lowest tertile ( 〈 45.1 g/L), the multivariate‐adjusted ORs (95% CI) for participants in the middle tertile (45.1‐48.2 g/L) and highest tertile (≥48.2 g/L) of serum albumin were 0.89 (95% CI: 0.67, 1.16) and 0.65 (95% CI: 0.47, 0.90), respectively. Conversely, lower albumin ( 〈 48.2 g/L) concentrations were associated with increased odds of PAD (OR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.08‐1.96) compared with higher concentrations. Furthermore, the albumin–PAD association was significantly stronger in males (OR: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.31, 3.30) than in females (OR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.70, 1.58; p interaction = .024). In conclusion, among Chinese hypertensive adults, lower serum albumin was associated with the prevalence of PAD only in males but not in females.

    Abstract: Data on the relationship between nontraditional lipid profiles [total cholesterol (TC)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, triglyceride (TG)/HDL-C ratio, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/HDL-C ratio, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C)] and the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) are limited. The present study investigated the relationship of nontraditional lipid indices with PAD in hypertensive patients. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed among 10,900 adults with hypertension. Participants were diagnosed with PAD when their ankle-brachial index (ABI) was 〈  0.9. The association between nontraditional lipid profiles and PAD was examined using multivariate logistic regression analysis and the restricted cubic spline. Results All nontraditional lipid indices were independently and positively associated with PAD in a dose-response fashion. After multivariable adjustment, the per SD increments of the TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C ratios and non-HDL-C were all significantly associated with 37, 14, 40, and 24% higher risk for PAD, respectively. The adjusted ORs (95% CI) for PAD were 1.77 (1.31, 2.40), 1.71 (1.25, 2.34), 2.03 (1.50, 2.74), and 1.70 (1.25, 2.31) when comparing the highest tertile to the lowest tertile of the TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C ratios and non-HDL-C, respectively. Conclusions Among Chinese hypertensive adults, all nontraditional lipid indices were positively associated with PAD, and the LDL-C/HDL-C and TC/HDL-C ratios were better than the other nontraditional lipid indices for predicting PAD. These findings may improve the risk stratification of cardiovascular disease and dyslipidemia management. Trial registration CHiCTR, ChiCTR1800017274 . Registered 20 July 2018.

    Abstract: Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor for cognitive impairment. Lipid accumulation product (LAP), an index that represents fat overaccumulation in the body, has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, the relationship between LAP and cognitive function in hypertensive patients with normal weight has been infrequently studied. Objective This study aimed to assess the relationship between LAP and cognitive function in hypertensive patients with normal weight. Methods This study included 5,542 Chinese hypertensive patients with normal weight. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The relationship between LAP and MMSE scores was evaluated using multiple linear regression. Results The mean age of the participants was 64.8 ± 9.3 years, and 2,700 were men (48.7%). The mean MMSE score was 24.5 ± 5.1 in men and 19.2 ± 6.5 in women. The mean LAP was 26.2 ± 25.5 in men and 42.5 ± 34 in women. Log 10 -LAP showed a significant positive association with MMSE score (men: β = 0.69, 95% CI 0.14–1.24, p = 0.015; women: β = 1.03, 95% CI 0.16–1.90, p = 0.020). When LAP was divided into 3 groups according to tertiles, participants in the third LAP tertile had higher MMSE scores for both men ( p for trend = 0.04) and women ( p for trend = 0.015). Conclusion LAP showed an independent positive association with MMSE in Chinese hypertensive patients with normal weight.

    Abstract: Increasing studies have focused on the predictive value of high estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on cardiovascular diseases and mortality; however, the association between high eGFR with cognitive function is still not established. Thus, this study aimed to determine the co-relationship between high eGFR and cognitive performance in the hypertensive population. Methods We conducted a baseline cross-sectional study using data from the China H-type Hypertension Registry study. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) assessment was performed to evaluate the cognitive function scale, and serum creatinine was collected to estimate eGFR level. Different MMSE cutoff values were applied in participants with the various educational background to define dementia: & lt;24 in participants with secondary school and above education setting, & lt;20 in those with primary school, and & lt;17 in illiterate participants. Results A total of 9,527 hypertensive adults with mean age 63.7 ± 9.8 years and 67% female gender were analyzed. The eGFR cutoff value of 71.52 ml/min/1.73 m 2 was found after adjusting for potential covariates in a threshold effect analysis. The MMSE increased significantly with the increment of eGFR (β, 0.27; 95% CI: 0.12–0.41) in participants with eGFR & lt; 71.52 ml/min/1.73 m 2 and decreased (β, −0.28; 95% CI: −0.39 to −0.17) in participants with eGFR ≥ 71.52 ml/min/1.73 m 2 . Individuals with eGFR ≥ 85 ml/min/1.73 m 2 have an elevated risk of cognitive impairment than those with eGFR of 65–75 ml/min/1.73 m 2 . Subgroup analysis showed that a greater reduction degree of MMSE was observed in female individuals and those who had body mass index (BMI) ≥ 24 kg/m 2 among participants with eGFR ≥ 71.52 ml/min/1.73 m 2 . Conclusion Our findings observed an inverted U-shaped relationship between eGFR and cognitive function. Both the low and high levels of eGFR were independently associated with worse cognitive assessment in the hypertensive population.
