Analysis of Influencing Factors of Death in the Elderly With Coronavirus Disease 2019 Based on Propensity Score Matching.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of death in the elderly with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19).Methods The case data of death caused by COVID-19 in West China Fourth Hospital from January 1 to July 8,2023 were collected,and surviving cases from the West China Elderly Health Cohort infected with COVID-19 during the same period were selected as the control.LASSO-Logistic regression was adopted to analyze the data after propensity score matching and the validity of the model was verified by drawing the receiver operating characteristic curve.

Serum polychlorinated biphenyl levels and risk of incident chronic kidney disease: A prospective study in the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort.

Emerging evidence suggests environmental polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) exposure may impair function, but prospective evidence linking PCB exposure to chronic kidney disease (CKD) incidence remains scarce. In the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort, we enrolled 1,902 CKD-free participants at baseline and measured seven serum PCB congeners (PCB-28, PCB-52, PCB-101, PCB-118, PCB-138, PCB-153, and PCB-180) using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Incident CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.

Metabolomic profiles of body shapes and their associations with the risks of incident cardiovascular diseases in Chinese adults.

Background And Aims: To explore the metabolomic profiles of different body shapes, their potential similarities and differences, and their associations with the risks of incident cardiovascular diseases.

Methods And Results: Plasma metabolite, body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) data were available in 7471 Chinese adults. We categorized body shapes into four groups by combining BMI (low: <24 kg/m, high: ≥24 kg/m) with WHtR (low: <0.
