Background: The present study aimed to identify individuals with different personalities using latent class analysis and further distinguish those with a high risk of diabetes among different clusters.
Methods: Data were utilized from a large-scale, cross-sectional epidemiological survey conducted in 2018 across 23 provinces in China, employing a multi-stage, stratified sampling technique. Latent class cluster analysis was performed to identify distinct personality clusters based on a series of variables concerning life attitudes. Logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (AORs) after controlling for potential confounding variables, including age, gender, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, hypertension, and physical activity levels, to determine the association between these groups and diabetes.
Results: Four distinct personality clusters were identified, namely the energy-poor (2.0%), self-domination (61.3%), optimistic (21.3%), and irritable (15.4%) groups. The prevalence of diabetes in these groups was 14.6%, 9.7%, 9.3%, and 11.6%, respectively. After adjusting for potential confounders, the "energy-poor group" exhibited more odds of having diabetes as compared to the "optimistic group" (AOR 1.683, 95%CI: 1.052-2.693; =0.030).
Conclusion: This study identified an energy-poor group of individuals with a high risk of diabetes. Targeted interventions should consider the emotional and personality characteristics of the elderly.

Background: Early secondary school students' perceptions of their social relationships in class are closely linked to their levels of motivation. However, person-centred research examining patterns of social relationships with both peers and teachers remains limited.
Aims: This study explored the existence, stability and transitions of latent profiles of students' social relationships over time, as well as their interconnectedness with students' motivation, gender, immigration background and educational track.

Background: Adolescence is a critical transitional period between childhood and adulthood, marked by dramatic changes in physical and psychosocial health. Adolescents are vulnerable to both depression and adiposity, but how these conditions evolve over time from adolescence to early adulthood and whether sex differences exist remains unclear.
Objective: This study aims to first identify the population heterogeneity in the joint trajectories of depressive symptoms and BMI from adolescence to early adulthood and then explore the sex differences in the joint trajectories.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of synthetic chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer applications, known for their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity. Mounting toxicological evidence suggests that the kidney is a primary target organ for PFAS accumulation, yet human data regarding compound-specific renal effects remain limited. In this community-based prospective cohort study, we investigated the associations between serum PFAS concentrations and renal outcomes in 257 adults, including 48 with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 209 with normal kidney function at baseline.

Objective: In recent decades, increased freedom of choice and advancements in fertility regulation have allowed individuals to follow different fertility paths. This greater autonomy provides room for personality traits to shape long-term fertility expectations, which in turn can be predictive of fertility outcomes. The present study investigates how Big Five personality traits are related to fertility expectations trajectories and outcomes.

Introduction: Anxiety, depression, and insomnia are common among older patients with tuberculosis (TB), yet their associations with inflammatory responses and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) remain insufficiently explored. This study aimed to identify distinct inflammation-DILI phenotypes in older TB patients and examine differences in anxiety, depression, and insomnia across subgroups.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 251 older TB patients were evaluated.
