“…It is becoming a leading cause of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and other health complications. For perimenopausal women, calf circumference measurements can be used to predict cardiac metabolic risk factors, which can be detected by observing blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipids (Bian et al, 2023). This nationwide community-based study shows that depressive symptoms are associated with lower HbA1C, reminding us that more attention should be paid to the presence of depressive symptoms in those with lower HbA1C.…”

Introduction hypertension is one of the common health problems in the elderly population and can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and other complications. Physical activity has been shown to be effective in preventing and managing hypertension in the elderly. Objective identify and evaluate different types of physical activity that can help in the prevention of hypertension in the elderly. Methods type of quantitative research with a case control approach. The total population is 42 respondents. Data collection using questionnaires. Data analysis using Chi-square test. Results that physical activity can prevent hypertension in the elderly chi-Square test results with p value: 0.634. which means that physical activity is not a risk factor for causing hypertension. Conclusion regular and diverse physical activity is an important strategy in the prevention of hypertension in the elderly. Physical activity programs tailored to individual needs and abilities should be encouraged and widely implemented in an effort to maintain heart health and reduce the risk of hypertension in the elderly population. Further efforts are needed to increase public awareness of the importance of physical activity in maintaining heart health and preventing cardiovascular disease in the elderly

Background Metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUNO) individuals are at higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, while not receiving sufficient attention. This study was conducted to explore the association between BMI-adjusted CC and MUNO in non-obese US adults using the NHANES database. Methods A total of 9,628 non-obese US adults (48.01% female and 51.99% male) were included in this cross-sectional study. The metabolically unhealthy phenotype was defined as ≥ 2 components of metabolic abnormalities. BMI-adjusted CC and BMI-adjusted skeletal muscle mass (SMM) were divided into quartiles. Weighted multiple logistic regression model was used to evaluate the study aims. The relation between BMI-adjusted CC and BMI-adjusted SMM was tested by Spearman correlation. Results In the multivariate analysis, compared with the lowest quartile of BMI-adjusted CC and BMI-adjusted SMM, OR (95%CI) of the highest quartile was 0.30 (0.25, 0.35) ( P < 0.001, P for trend < 0.001) and 0.39 (0.29, 0.53) ( P < 0.001, P for trend < 0.001), respectively. BMI-adjusted CC was positively correlated with BMI-adjusted SMM for all participants ( r = 0.48). A weak non-linear association was observed in BMI-adjusted CC and MUNO ( P = 0.047). Similar results were observed in sex- and BMI-specific subgroup and sensitivity analysis. Conclusion BMI-adjusted CC was inversely associated with MUNO, suggesting more attention should be paid to monitoring BMI-adjusted CC for the public to ease the disease burden, especially for people without obesity.
