Obesity is a major contributor to diabetes, and the new study suggests more tailored efforts are needed to reduce the incidence of obesity-related diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, affecting more than 31 million Americans, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control a...

February 01, 2021 In people with no history of CV disease, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels can predict a higher risk of developing CV disease across various blood pressure and pulse pressure ranges, new data from the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) study suggest. The findings raise the possibility of using NT-proBNP tests, which have typically been restricted to the diagnosis and management of heart failure (HF), in the setting of hypertension, researchers say. Additional information on individual risk could help clinicians refine decisions about therapy...

Ethnic differences emerged among subgroups of diabetes characteristics, a new study found. In an analysis of nearly 1,300 people with diabetes, five distinct types of diabetes cases were identified -- older age at diabetes onset (43%), severe hyperglycemia (26%), severe obesity (20%), younger age at onset (1%), and requiring insulin medication use (9%), reported Michael Bancks, PhD, MPH, of Wake Forest School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and colleagues. The distribution of patients within each diabetes subgroup varied vastly according to ethnicity and clinical characteristi...

Jan 15, 2021 Sleep apnea-associated hypoxia and very short sleep are linked with a higher moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence when compared with “normal” sleep, explains Chandra L. Jackson, PhD, MS. “This relationship highlights the need for novel interventions,” she says. “However, although CKD affects approximately 15% of adults in the United States, there are several gaps in the existing literature regarding its association with poor sleep. Few studies have included multiple sleep characteristics, few include objectively measured sleep characteristics, most...
