“…The reason for the discrepancy may be explained by the different ethnicities of the participants, variations in study design, time points of SF concentration measurement, diagnostic criteria, and other confounding factors. 18,31,34,35 In their study, iron deficiency (ferritin < 12 ug/L) accounted for 52% of the total population, 31 compared with only 12% in our cohort. Moreover, the time points of SF concentration measurement were also later than ours.…”

This study evaluated the associations of serum ferritin (SF) concentration during pregnancy with the risk of adverse maternal and fetal pregnancy outcomes. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 2327 pregnant women from 2015 to 2020 in Guangdong, China. SF concentrations were measured at 16-18th and 28-32th week of gestation. Logistic regression models were applied to estimate the association between SF concentration and the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Results: After multivariable adjustment, the odds ratio (OR) of the highest quartile of SF concentration at 16-18th week of gestation was 1.43 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09, 1.89) for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and 1.79 (95% CI: 1.15, 2.79) for small for gestational age (SGA) when compared with the lowest quartile. At 28-32th week of gestation compared with the lowest quartile, women with SF in the highest quartile had an increased risk of SGA (OR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.01, 2.62). Moreover, the lowest quartile of SF concentration decreased risk of SGA by 90% (95% CI: 0.01, 0.80) when compared with the highest quartile among pregnancy women with GDM. Conclusion: Elevated SF concentrations increased the risk of GDM and SGA during pregnancy. Maintaining an appropriately low level of maternal SF at 28-32th week of gestation in women with GDM could reduce the risk of SGA.

“…First-generation migrants often face an increased number of stressors even after arrival in the host society: Distance from social contacts in the home country, social isolation within the host country, and legal problems. Firstgeneration migrants are also particularly vulnerable to discrimination experiences, which can further negatively affect mental health (Pearce et al, 2019), sleep quality (Alcántara et al, 2017), the risk for diabetes (Erbetta et al, 2022) and cardiovascular health (Panza et al, 2019). Particularly for ethnic discrimination experiences, these trends have also been confirmed (e.g Paradies et al, 2015;Stopforth et al, 2022).…”

Introduction Racial discrimination has been identified as a risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among racial/ethnic minority groups; however, there is no synthesis of current knowledge on the association between discrimination and cardiometabolic diseases. The objective of this systematic review was to summarize evidence linking racial/ethnic discrimination and cardiometabolic diseases. Methods The review was conducted based on studies identified via electronic searches of 5 databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, WorldWideScience.org, ResearchGate and Microsoft Academic) using terms related to discrimination and cardiometabolic disease. Results Of the 123 eligible studies included in the review, 87 were cross-sectional, 25 longitudinal, 8 quasi-experimental, 2 randomized controlled trials and 1 case–control. Cardiometabolic disease outcomes discussed were hypertension ( n = 46), cardiovascular disease ( n = 40), obesity ( n = 12), diabetes ( n = 11), metabolic syndrome ( n = 9), and chronic kidney disease ( n = 5). Although a variety of discrimination measures was employed across the studies, the Everyday Discrimination Scale was used most often (32.5%). African Americans/Blacks were the most frequently studied racial/ethnic group (53.1%), and American Indians the least (0.02%). Significant associations between racial/ethnic discrimination and cardiometabolic disease were found in 73.2% of the studies. Discussion Racial/ethnic discrimination is positively associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic disease and higher levels of cardiometabolic biomarkers. Identifying racial/ethnic discrimination as a potential key contributor to the health inequities associated with cardiometabolic diseases is important for addressing the significant burden borne by racial/ethnic minorities.
