Introduction: It is unclear whether changing trajectories of renal function will increase the risk prediction information of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to evaluate the trajectory patterns of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the association between eGFR trajectories and CVD risk.
Methods: A total of 4742 participants were included in the cohort from the 51st Regiment of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. The study endpoint was the occurrence of CVD events. eGFR trajectories were identified using a linear mixed-effects model in four distinct patterns. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models analysed the correlations between eGFR trajectories and CVD.
Results: During a median follow-up period of 5.7 years, a total of 559 (11.8%) CVD, 404 (8.5%) myocardial infarction (MI), 244 (5.2%) ischemic stroke (IS), and 62 (1.3%) heart failure (HF) incidents occurred. After multivariable adjustment, gradual decline trajectory increased the risk of CVD ( 1.42, 95% 1.16-1.74), MI ( 1.41, 95% 1.11-1.79), and IS ( 1.41, 95% 1.04-1.92); gradual increase trajectory reduced the risk of CVD ( 0.40, 95% 0.25-0.64) and MI ( 0.49, 95% 0.29-0.81). Consistent results were obtained in sensitivity and subgroup analyses.
Conclusions: Decline and increase of renal function were related to the risk of CVD, MI, and IS in the rural areas of Xinjiang. Monitoring eGFR changing trajectory is of great significance in improving the risk of CVD.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, with a reach extending beyond the liver to include other metabolic syndrome-related disorders. Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus are recognised non-communicable disorders and often downstream complications of MASLD and share similar risk factors. However, MASLD has not been afforded parity alongside other cardiometabolic non-communicable disorders, including the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome.

Aims: The phase angle (PhA) derived from a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The present study explored the relationship between PhA and the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic adults.
Methods: Two cross-sectional studies were performed on 15579 participants who underwent carotid ultrasound testing and a BIA as well as 8228 participants who underwent brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) testing and a BIA.

Objectives: The objectives were to examine the associations between accelerometer-measured circadian rest-activity rhythm (CRAR), the most prominent circadian rhythm in humans and the risk of mortality from all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with cancer.
Methods: 7456 cancer participants from the UK Biobank were included. All participants wore accelerometers from 2013 to 2015 and were followed up until 24 January 2024, with a median follow-up of 9.

Background: There is no consensus for using statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), because no randomized controlled trial has exclusively investigated statins in this population.
Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to evaluate the long-term risks and benefits of statins for primary prevention in adults with T1DM.
Methods: We performed a sequential target trial emulation comparing statin initiation vs noninitiation using UK primary care data from the IQVIA Medical Research Data database.

Background: Muscle quality index (MQI), a new metric for assessing sarcopenia, reflects the functional capacity of muscle. However, the associations between MQI and adverse health outcomes and the corresponding mechanisms are not well understood.
Objective: We aimed to prospectively evaluate the associations of MQI with risk of nine adverse health outcomes (ie, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), respiratory disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), liver disease, dementia, depression, and all-cause mortality), as well as the mediating role of metabolomics in these associations.
