Rate and risk factors of metabolic components and component combinations according to hypertension status in Tibetans in a cross-sectional study

Abstract

To estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and metabolic components and their associated factors and component combinations according to hypertension status in Tibetans living at high altitude. Multistage sampling of 1473 participants (799 hypertensive patients and 674 normotensive subjects). MS prevalence and the number of metabolic components ≥ 3 were significantly higher in the hypertensive than normotensives. In hypertensive patients, the most common component was central obesity and it combined with: high blood pressure, in those with 2 risk factors, plus fasting hyperglycemia, in those with 3 risk factors, and high triglyceride, in those with 4 risk factors. In normotensive subjects, the most common single component was low high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, and most component combination included central obesity and hyperglycemia in those with 2 risk factors, plus high blood pressure in those with 3 risk factors, and high triglycerides in those with 4 risk factors. Body mass index and female both were associated with increased possibilities of MS in hypertensive and normotensive participants. Low incoming, and high educational levels were associated with an elevated probability of MS in normotensive Tibetans also. The priority of prevention from cardiovascular diseases by targeting metabolic components in the hypertensive was different from normotensives. Different MS components had various lifestyle and socioeconomic factors.

“…Hu J et al in a multistage sampling reported that the MetS prevalence and the number of metabolic components ≥ 3 were significantly higher in the hypertensive than in normotensives. 32 According to Tofano et al, when compared with patients with low CRP (< 0.1 mg/dL), those with a high CRP (≥ 0.1 mg/dL) had a significantly higher prevalence of visceral obesity, elevated triglyceride, lower HDL-C, hypertension, impaired FBG, and a higher prevalence of MetS. Moreover, most of the hypertensive patients (93.33%) presented with MetS and were related to the presence of more severe lesions in the arteries and had passed through more invasive procedures like angioplasty and surgery.…”

Electrospun Nanofiber Electrodes for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

“…Further, LiFePO 4 @C NF cathodes with mesoporous structure were also successfully fabricated ( Figure a–d), which facilitated the diffusion of liquid electrolytes and maintained the structural stability of LiFePO 4 particles during lithiation/delithiation. [ 48 ] The electrode delivered a capacity of 107 mA h g −1 at 10 C and maintained 105 mA h g −1 after 200 deep charge/discharge cycles with a high capacity retention of 98% (Figure 4e). In the lattice of LiMPO 4 , Li ions have only 1D transmission paths.…”
