“…Besides these, central obesity was also related to a reduction in quality of life and an increment in health expenses. As the incidence of central obesity raised rapidly during recent years (7,25), several studies indicated a higher proportion of central obesity among females than males (6,8), which could be attributed to fertility and decreased estrogen levels. The relationship between obesity and hypertension was well-studied.…”

BackgroundCentral obesity was closely associated with hypertension. Middle-aged and older adult females, defined as those aged 45 and above, were more likely to suffer from central obesity. For waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) was used as central obesity assessment, the object of this study was to illustrate the relationship between WHtR and the incidence of hypertension in middle-aged and older adult females in China.MethodsData used in this prospective cohort study was derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in a baseline survey from 2011 to 2012 with a follow-up duration of 4 years. The waist-to-height ratio was calculated as waist circumstance divided by height, and the cohort was divided into different groups based on WHtR level. The outcome variable was new-onset hypertension.ResultsOf the 2,438 participants included in the study, 1,821 (74.7%) had high WHtR levels (WHtR ≥ 0.5). As WHtR was closely related to new-onset hypertension in a multivariable logistics regression mode [OR: 7.89 (95% CI: 2.10–29.67)], individuals with high WHtR were also more likely to suffer from hypertension compared with low WHtR levels [OR: 1.34 (95% CI: 1.06–1.69)].ConclusionWHtR is positively related to the risk of hypertension incidents among middle-aged and older adult females. Individuals with WHtR ≥ 0.5 were more likely to suffer from hypertension.

“…[9] Another study recruited 20,995 adults with high risk of CVD (72.6% had a history of stroke and 88.4% had hypertension) and followed them up for an average of 4.74 years. [10] A total of 4172 participants died during the trial. The incidence rate of fatal and non-fatal stroke was reduced by 14% with the salt substitute than with regular salt (RR = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.77-0.96, P = 0.006), as were the rates of MACE by 13% (RR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.80-0.94, P < 0.001) and death by 12% (RR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.82-0.95, P < 0.001).…”

The Annual Report on Cardiovascular Health and Diseases in China (2022) intricate landscape of cardiovascular health in China. This section dissects cardiovascular risk factors in China which including hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, metabolic syndrome and air pollution. Hypertension prevalence has steadily increased in China, with efforts to control it facing challenges in achieving optimal rates, especially in rural areas. Interventions like salt substitutes and intensive blood pressure control show promise but need improvement. Abnormal lipid levels, indicative of dyslipidemia, have risen significantly, posing a risk for cardiovascular diseases. Despite efforts, many patients struggle to achieve target lipid levels, necessitating improved treatment strategies. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus affect millions of adults in China, with long-term complications adding to the disease burden. Early intervention and effective management are crucial to mitigate its impact. Prevalent among older adults, chronic kidney disease is associated with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases, necessitating comprehensive management approaches. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, characterized by a cluster of risk factors, has increased in both adults and adolescents, calling for lifestyle modifications and public health interventions. Ambient and household air pollution remain significant environmental risk factors, despite some improvements in air quality. Continued efforts to reduce emissions are essential for mitigating associated health risks. Addressing these risk factors requires a multifaceted approach, including public health initiatives, policy interventions, and individual-level strategies to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce environmental exposures. Surveillance and research efforts are crucial for monitoring trends and developing effective strategies to lessen the burden of cardiovascular diseases in China.CARDIOVASCULAR

Abstract:Background: Anemia is a deficiency of red blood cells and a public health burden in India. There needs to be more reporting of the prevalence of this condition in adults consisting of both males and females in a rural setting. Hence, this study is undertaken to address this gap.Materials and methods: 1460 participants were recruited during a household survey in the Churachandpur district of Manipur. Data on personal, social demographic, and lifestyle variables were collected along with anthropometric measurements. Anemia status was tested with the help of a standardized portable hemoglobinometer.Results: The prevalence of anemia was 42% and 46.4% among Kuki and Paite tribal communities of Manipur, respectively, which is significant within the communities. Type of occupation and lifestyle factors were also found to contribute to anemia. Age was also found to be inversely proportional to the prevalence of anemia.Conclusion: The present study found a high prevalence of anemia and malnutrition, a matter of concern. The studied population, the tribals, are the deprived section of society that needs to be taken care of to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs). They stay in remote areas which are not easily accessible, and hence they should be prioritized in terms of health and various other developments. Also, this high prevalence of anemia can lead to various health complications like cardiovascular diseases if not treated. Iron supplements should act as an intervention for the high prevalence of anemia and should be delivered timely to vulnerable populations.
