The levels of hemoglobin are positively associated with arterial stiffness in community-dwelling Chinese adults

The role of hemoglobin in maintaining health is still not fully understood Thoroughly. Therefore, this literature review aims to uncover comprehensively the role of hemoglobin in maintaining health. Objective: The purpose of this literature review is to investigate the role of hemoglobin in maintaining health by collecting and analyzing current findings in the scientific literature. The methodology used is a systematic search through academic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus using relevant keywords such as "hemoglobin", "health maintenance", and "literature review". Articles that meet the inclusion criteria are selected for analysis. The samples in this review literature are scientific articles published within a certain time frame and focus on the role of hemoglobin in maintaining health. The population studied includes humans of various age groups and health conditions. The results of the analysis stated that hemoglobin plays an important role in maintaining oxygen balance in the body, supporting the function of vital organs, and preventing diseases related to hemoglobin disorders. Factors such as nutrition, environment, and health conditions can affect a person's hemoglobin levels. In conclusion, this literature review confirms that a deep understanding of hemoglobin's role in maintaining health is important for the development of prevention and management strategies for diseases associated with hemoglobin disorders. Thus, further research in this area is needed to improve general well-being.

Background: Arterial stiffness influences the prognosis of patients with end-stage kidney disease; however, the factors that promote arterial stiffness in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients remain unknown. We aimed to explore the clinical factors associated with arterial stiffness in CKD. Methods: Between September 2017 and September 2022, all CKD patients treated at the Department of Nephrology, General Hospital of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, excluding dialysis patients, were screened and their medical records within the last month were collected. Arterial stiffness was measured by the augmentation index (AIx). The correlative clinical factors with arterial stiffness were explored in different linear regression models. Results: 559 patients were included in the study. AIx@75 increased as the deterioration of CKDG1–CKDG5, with values of 1 (−9, 11), 5.5 (−4, 13.25), 9 (0, 16), 12 (1.5, 23.5), and 22 (13, 28), respectively (Z = 63.03, p < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that AIx@75 was positively associated with female sex (β = 8.926, 95% confidence interval (CI) 6.291, 11.562, p < 0.001), age (β = 0. 485, 95% CI 0.39, 0.58, p < 0.001), mean arterial pressure (MAP) (β = 0.255, 95% CI 0.159, 0.35, p < 0.001), and was negatively associated with ACEI/ARB (β = −4.466, 95% CI −6.963, −1.969, p < 0.001) and glucocorticoid (β = −3.163, 95% CI −6.143, −0.183, p = 0.038). Smoking, eGFR, hemoglobin, and cause of disease were associated with AIx@75 in multivariate linear regression models when considering factors partly. Conclusions: Female, age, smoking, MAP, eGFR, cause of disease, ACEI/ARB, and glucocorticoid were found to be associated with atherosclerosis in CKD patients.
