Background The relations of hypertension onset age with cardiovascular diseases (CVD)
and all-cause mortality remain inconclusive. Objectives This study sought to examine the …

Rationale: Previous studies on the relationship between diabetes and arterial stiffness were
mostly cross-sectional. A few longitudinal studies focused on one single direction. Whether …

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that elevated circulating levels of HDL-C (high-
density lipoprotein cholesterol) could be linked to an increased mortality risk. However, to …

Abstract Background The triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index, which is a simple surrogate
marker of insulin resistance, has been suggested as a contributor of cardiovascular disease …

Background: Whether the combination of different blood pressure and arterial stiffness (AS)
status is independently associated with diabetes has not been fully investigated so far. This …

OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore the associations between type 2 diabetes onset age and
cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in the Chinese population …

Importance The American Heart Association 2020 Strategic Impact Goals target an
improvement in overall cardiovascular health, as assessed by 7 health metrics (smoking …

The metabolic syndrome (MetS), first introduced by Haller in 1975, was sometimes also
known as insulin resistance syndrome, syndrome X, and plurimetabolic syndrome. In 1989 …

Arterial stiffness and blood pressure (BP) both increase with aging synchronously. Whether
elevated BP results from thickening of arterial wall or vice versa is controversial in previous …

Abstract Aims Triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a simple surrogate
marker of insulin resistance. However, few studies have investigated the association of TyG …
