Diabetes Obes Metab.
- In 192 patients with T2DM without overt HF, NT-proBNP levels increased with worsening renal function (204.3 vs 96.8 vs 62.2 pg/mL across eGFR 30-59, 60-89 & ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m²; p<0.001)
- NT-proBNP correlated with albuminuria (uACR; r=0.31, p<0.001) but not FMD (p=0.388)
- Older age (aOR 1.14), higher SBP (aOR 1.05), lower eGFR (aOR 0.97), & beta-blocker use (aOR 4.65) independently predicted elevated NT-proBNP.
29 Sep, 26BMC Infect. Dis.
- Higher albumin-to-glucose ratio (AGR) independently reduced 30-day mortality risk by 18% (adjusted HR 0.82; P<0.001)
- AGR showed good prognostic discrimination with an optimal cutoff of ≥5.0 (AUC 0.713); platelet count mediated only 9.24% of the AGR-mortality association
- Patients with low AGR and low platelet count had a 4.04-fold higher crude mortality risk (HR 4.04; P<0.001)
28 Sep, 26Obesity Med.
- Of the 833 adults in India with HTN &/or DM attending an NCD clinic, 70.7% had clinical obesity, highest in HTN alone (88%), with significantly elevated BMI & Conicity Index
- Clinical obesity was independently linked with age 60-69 yrs, extended family, HTN duration >10 yrs, tobacco use, & coexistence of HTN+DM
- Sensitivity analysis showed a lower obesity burden (50%) but retained significant predictor links.
