A Study on the Risk Factors of Abnormal Mental Health Status in General Physical Examination Population.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the mental health status of the general population and its risk factors.

Patients And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 10278 individuals aged 12 and above who underwent health examinations were included. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires, the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), and the Stress Self-Assessment Questionnaire-53 (SSQ-53), to collect general information, mental health status, and stress level information.

Mental Health Status of Patients with Thyroid Nodules: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the mental health status of patients with high-risk and low-risk thyroid nodules (TNs), and the potential psychological risk factors that may exist in patients with high-risk nodules.

Patients And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 7645 adults who participated in physical examinations from January 2021 to December 2023 were included. During the physical examination, they all completed thyroid ultrasound examinations and laboratory tests, and filled out self-administered questionnaires, as well as the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and the Stress Self-Assessment Questionnaire-53 (SSQ-53).

Analysis of influencing factors of exercise systolic blood pressure response in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease aged 40-60 years.

Objectives: This study investigated the influencing factors of exercise systolic blood pressure response (ESBPR) by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in people aged 40-60 years.

Methods: A total of 603 adults were enrolled in this study. The inclusion criteria of this cross-sectional study were adults who underwent health checks and CPX.

Waistline to thigh circumference ratio as a predictor of MAFLD: a health care worker study with 2-year follow-up.

Background: This study aimed to determine whether the waist-to-thigh ratio (WTTR) is associated with the incidence of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in health care workers.

Methods: There were 4517 health care workers with baseline data and results from 2 follow-up examinations. We divided the subjects into 3 groups according to baseline WTTR and used the Cox hazard regression model to estimate MAFLD risk.

Association between triglyceride-glucose index trajectories and carotid atherosclerosis progression.

Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been recognized as being an alternative cardiometabolic biomarker for insulin resistance associated with the development and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the prospective relationship between baseline and long-term trajectories of the TyG index and carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) progression has yet to be investigated.

Methods: This longitudinal prospective cohort study included 10,380 adults with multiple general health checks at Peking University Third Hospital from January 2011 to December 2020.

Using hyperhomocysteinemia and body composition to predict the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in healthcare workers.

Purpose: This study investigated associations between serum homocysteine levels, body composition, and the probability of having nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Chinese healthcare workers.

Patients And Methods: A total of 4028 healthcare workers were enrolled in this study, and all underwent a physical examination. Body composition was measured using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis.

Analysis of Blood Pressure and Ventilation Efficiency in Different Types of Obesity Aged 40-60 Years by Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test.

Purpose: This study investigated blood pressure and ventilation efficiency by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) in different types of obesity aged 40-60 years.

Material And Methods: The inclusion criteria of this cross-sectional study were adults aged 40-60 years underwent health checks. CPX was measured according to the relevant standards.

Trajectories of Lipid Profile and Risk of Carotid Atherosclerosis Progression: A Longitudinal Cohort Study.

Background: Early assessment of carotid atherosclerotic plaque characteristics is essential for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk stratification and prediction. We aimed to identify different trajectories of lipid profiles and investigate the association of lipid trajectories with carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) progression in a large, longitudinal cohort of the Chinese population.

Methods: 10,412 participants aged ≥18 years with ≥2 times general health checkups were included in this longitudinally prospective cohort study at Peking University Third Hospital.
