Background: The growing epidemic of obesity in the United States (US) is associated with cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the impact of the increasing obesity prevalence on the CV health of young American adults. Methods: The age-adjusted weighted prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia was estimated from the 2008-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in American adults aged 18-44 years, stratified by the presence of obesity. The trends were evaluated using a piecewise linear regression approach. The odds for CV risk factors were estimated using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models. Results: Among 14,919 young adults, the prevalence of obesity was 33.9% (95% CI: 32.6-35.3%). Obese young adults were more likely to be non-Hispanic Blacks and in lower socioeconomic and educational attainment strata (p<0.05 for all). Obese young adults had a greater risk of having hypertension (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 3.0 [95% CI: 2.7-3.4]), diabetes (aOR: 4.3 [95% CI: 3.3-5.6]), and hyperlipidemia (aOR: 1.47 [95% CI: 1.3-1.7]). Among obese, hypertension increased from 36.5% (33.9-39.1%) in 2007-2010 to 39.4% (35.6-43.1%) in 2015-2018 (p= 0.07) and diabetes increased from 4.7% (3.6-5.8%) in 2007-2010 to 7.1% (5.3-9.0%) in 2015-2018 (p=0.11). A modest increase in diabetes was seen in non-obese individuals ( Table ). Hypercholesterolemia prevalence remained unchanged from 12.6% (95% CI: 10.6-14.7%) 2007-2010 to 10.9% (95% CI: 9.0-12.8%) in 2015-2018 (p=0.27) among obese young adults. Non-obese young adults showed a decline in hypercholesterolemia from 9.5% (95% CI: 8.0-11.0%) in 2007- 2010 to 7.1% (95% CI: 5.8-8.4%) in 2015-2018 (p=0.002). Conclusions: Nearly one-in-every three young American adults have obesity, which is accompanied by a two-fold higher prevalence of CV risk factors. The CV morbidity in young adults is expected to increase with an increasing prevalence of obesity..

Abstract Introduction: Anemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the elderly, though the risk factors for and the consequences of hemoglobin (HGB) decline are poorly characterized. Methods: We studied 5201 men and women ≥65 participating in the Cardiovascular Health Study. The cohort was followed biannually and had baseline and repeat hemograms 3 years later. HGB decline was defined as >1g/dL HGB drop, or incident anemia at 3 years by WHO criteria. Results: 4006 participants survived to 3 years and had two HGB measures. The median HGB change was −0.2g/dL (IQR-0.8, 0.1). 961 (24%) participants had a >1g/dL HGB drop and 335 (8%) developed incident anemia. The left side of the table presents adjusted logistic regression models of baseline risk factors for HGB decline. Those with baseline cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and kidney disease were more likely to develop >1g/dL HGB drop while only baseline kidney disease was associated with incident anemia. The table also shows the adjusted risk of HGB decline with concurrent development of co-morbid conditions. A >1g/dL drop in HGB was more likely in those who concurrently developed incident CVD, hypertension or inflammation. Incident anemia was more likely in participants with concurrent development of kidney disease or inflammation. Both incident anemia and a HGB drop >1g/dL were associated with subsequent 9-year mortality adjusting for age, race, gender, year 3 HGB, hypertension, CVD, diabetes, and renal disease; HRs (95% CI) 1.4 (1.2, 1.6) and 1.2 (1.1, 1.4) respectively. Discussion: Among studied factors, baseline CVD, diabetes and kidney disease were risk factors for >1g/dL HGB drop while only baseline kidney disease was a risk factor for incident anemia. Incident CVD and hypertension were associated concurrently with >1g/dL HGB drop while kidney disease was associated with concurrent incident anemia. Inflammation development was the strongest risk factor accompanying HGB decline. HGB decline, especially a 1g/dL drop, was associated with subsequent mortality irrespective of HGB concentration. These data suggest that small HGB changes not captured by the WHO anemia criteria are associated with poor health outcomes and that inflammation is a major correlate of HGB decline in the elderly.

Abstract Background Arab-Americans constitute ~ 5% of Michigan’s population. Estimates of obesity in Arab-Americans are not up-to-date. We aim to describe the distribution of and factors associated with obesity in an Arab-American population in Southeastern Michigan (SE MI). Methods Retrospective medical record review identified n = 2363 Arab-American patients seeking care at an Arab-American serving clinic in SE MI, located in a city which is home to a large proportion of Arab-Americans in the United States (US). Body mass index (BMI) was the primary outcome of interest. Distribution of BMI was described using percentages, and logistic regression models were constructed to examine the association between obesity, other comorbid conditions and health behaviors. This cohort was compared to Michigan’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from 2018 (n = 9589) and to a cohort seeking care between 2013 and 2019 from a free clinic (FC) located in another city in SE MI (n = 1033). Results Of the 2363 Arab-American patients, those who were older or with HTN, DM or HLD had a higher prevalence of obesity than patients who were younger or without these comorbidities (all p-value < 0.001). Patients with HTN were 3 times as likely to be obese than those without HTN (95% CI: 2.41–3.93; p < 0.001). Similarly, the odds of being obese were 2.5 times higher if the patient was diabetic (95% CI: 1.92–3.16; p < 0.001) and 2.2 times higher if the patient had HLD (95% CI: 1.75–2.83; p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in obesity rates between Arab-Americans (31%) and the BRFSS population (32.6%). Compared to Arab-Americans, patients seen at the FC had a higher obesity rate (52.6%; p < 0.001) as well as significantly higher rates of HTN, DM and HLD (all p < 0.001). Conclusion Overall obesity rates in Arab-Americans were comparable to the population-based BRFSS rates, and lower than the patients seen at the FC. Further studies are required to understand the impact of obesity and the association of comorbidities in Arab-Americans.

Introduction: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. While most prevalent in elderly, it’s not uncommon in the non-elderly (<65), who also experience many more years of living with disability. In this study, we aimed to describe the scope and CVD determinants of stroke among young (18-44 years) adults in a US representative population. Methods: We analyzed the National Health Interview Survey (2012-2018), a nationally representative study sample. Stroke, as well as CVD risk factors (CRF) [diabetes, hypertension, ever-smoker, insufficient physical activity, obesity and high cholesterol] were self-reported. A CRF profile was then created, with the following categories: “Optimal”, “Average” and “Poor” (0-1, 2-3 & ≥ 4 CRFs, respectively). All analyses took into consideration the survey’s complex design. Results: The 2012-2018 survey population consisted of 224,638 adults ≥ 18 yrs, ≈ 242 million US adults annually. Overall 2.8% (≈ 7 million) reported ever having history of stroke, with 45% noted in the non-elderly (< 65). Among non-elderly, 21% of stroke-history was allocated among the young (18-44 years) adults, translating to nearly 642,810 individuals reporting ever having history of stroke per year. The most common risk factors noted in these patients were insufficient physical activity (56%), current/past smoking (48%), obesity (45%), and hypertension (44%). Overall among the young (<45 years), stroke prevalence was 10-fold higher among those with poor (≈ 3.9 million young adults) vs optimal CRF profile (3.5% vs 0.3%, p < 0.001). Adjusting for demographics, all CVD risk were significantly associated with history of stroke, with participants with poor CRF reporting a 7-fold higher history of stroke (Table). Conclusion: More than half a million adults 18-44 years of age reported a history stroke in US. Individuals with sub-optimal CRF profiles are highly susceptible, and population-level strategies emphasizing cardiovascular health may significantly reduce risk of stroke among young adults in US.

Background: There are longstanding and pervasive geographic disparities in cardiovascular (CV) health in the US. We sought to evaluate the contemporary trends in CV risk factors by census regions from 2011-2017. The region-specific CV mortality for 2017 was evaluated to assess the geographic overlap between risk factors, CV mortality, and COVID-19 mortality. Methods: The age-adjusted prevalence (per 2010 US census proportions) of CV health index (CVHI) metrics (sum of ideal blood pressure, blood glucose, lipid levels, body mass index, smoking status, physical activity, and diet) (0-7 points), were estimated as both continuous and categorical (ideal, intermediate and poor CVHI) measures in the 2011-2017 BRFSS. Regional trends were evaluated with multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models. Age-adjusted CV mortality for 2017 was derived from the CDC WONDER database. COVID-19 crude mortality rates were ascertained from respective state public health departments. Results: Among 1,362,529 American adults, the CVHI score increased from 3.89±0.004 in 2011 to 3.96±0.01 in 2017 (P<0.001), modestly improvements in all regions (P<0.05 for all). Ideal CV health prevalence improved only in the northeastern (P=0.03) and southern regions (P=0.002). The CVHI score (3.81±0.01) and prevalence of ideal CV health [2017: 12.2% (95% CI: 11.7-12.7%)] was lowest in southern US. This corresponded with the distribution of CV mortality (per 100,000 persons), which was highest in southern region (233.0 [95% CI: 232.2-233.8]) and lowest in western region (197.5 [95% CI: 19.6-198.5]) ( Figure 1 ). State-level distribution of poor CV health did not track with COVID-19 mortality. Conclusion: Despite a modest improvement in CVHI, only one-in-six Americans have ideal CV health with significant regional and state-level differences that correlate with the geographical distribution of CV mortality but not COVID-19 mortality. These disparities may worsen after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction: The growing prevalence of obesity has created a major burden on the health care system. To date, studies examining social determinants of obesity in adults have mostly focused on individual social determinants of health (SDOH) components. In this study, we explore the influence of cumulative SDOH on obesity among young adults (< 45) as compared with middle- aged (45-64) and elderly (≥ 65) populations in the US. Methods: We examined cross-sectional data on 164,696 adult participants from the National Health Interview Survey (2013-17). For each individual, the unfavorable SDOH risk factor was identified from 39 sub-components, stemming from 6 general domains (economic stability, neighborhood and physical environment, community and social context, food, education, and healthcare system access). Risk factors were then aggregated to develop a cumulative score, wherein individuals were divided into quartiles. Obesity was calculated from self-reported height and weight and defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 . Adults with a BMI <18.5 kg/m 2 were excluded from the analysis. Results: The age-adjusted prevalence of obesity was 32.5%, which translates to 78 million US adults annually. A linear increase in the prevalence of age-adjusted obesity was noted with increasing unfavorable SDOH prevalence across all age groups. In the overall population, those with the worst (4 th quartile) vs best (1 st quartile) SDOH profile had 1.47 higher odds of being obese in adjusted models. There was evidence, however, of effect modification by age (p-value for interaction < 0.001), with a stronger association of unfavorable SDOH risk with obesity in the young (<45 years) as compared with middle age and elderly (Table). Conclusions: A higher burden of SDOH is more strongly associated with obesity in young adults. Estimating and understanding the impact of SDOH may have practical implications for informing effective interventions to combat early adulthood obesity and its ensuing complications.

Introduction The American Heart Association created “Life’s Simple Seven” metrics to estimate progress toward improving US cardiovascular health in a standardized manner. Given the widespread use of federally funded Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)-based lifestyle interventions such as the Group Lifestyle Balance (DPP-GLB), evaluation of change in health metrics within such a program is of national interest. This study examined change in cardiovascular health metric scores during the course of a yearlong DPP-GLB intervention. Methods Data were combined from 2 similar randomized trials offering a community based DPP-GLB lifestyle intervention to overweight/obese individuals with prediabetes and/or metabolic syndrome. Pre/post lifestyle intervention participation changes in 5 of the 7 cardiovascular health metrics were examined at 6 and 12 months (BMI, blood pressure, total cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose, physical activity). Smoking was rare and diet was not measured. Results Among 305 participants with complete data (81.8% of 373 eligible adults), significant improvements were demonstrated in all 5 risk factors measured continuously at 6 and 12 months. There were significant positive shifts in the “ideal” and “total” metric scores at both time points. Also noted were beneficial shifts in the proportion of participants across categories for BMI, activity, and blood pressure. Conclusion AHA-metrics could have clinical utility in estimating an individual’s cardiovascular health status and in capturing improvement in cardiometabolic/behavioral risk factors resulting from participation in a community-based translation of the DPP lifestyle intervention.

Exposure to PM2.5 has been associated with the prevalence of obesity. In the Greater Mexico City Area (GMCA), both are ranked among the highest in the world. Our aim was to analyze this association in children, adolescents, and adults in the GMCA. We used data from the 2006 and 2012 Mexican National Surveys of Health and Nutrition (ENSANUT). Participants’ past-year exposure to ambient PM2.5 was assessed using land use terms and satellite-derived aerosol optical depth estimates; weight and height were measured. We used survey-adjusted logistic regression models to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) of obesity (vs. normal-overweight) for every 10 µg/m3 increase in annual PM2.5 exposure for children, adolescents, and adults. Using a meta-analysis approach, we estimated the overall odds of obesity. We analyzed data representing 19.3 million and 20.9 million GMCA individuals from ENSANUT 2006 and 2012, respectively. The overall pooled estimate between PM2.5 exposure and obesity was OR = 1.96 (95% CI: 1.21, 3.18). For adolescents, a 10 µg/m3 increase in PM2.5 was associated with an OR of 3.53 (95% CI: 1.45, 8.58) and 3.79 (95% CI: 1.40, 10.24) in 2006 and 2012, respectively. More studies such as this are recommended in Latin American cities with similar air pollution and obesity conditions.

Introduction: Characterized by significant left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and clinical heart failure (HF), peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) has an incidence of approximately 1/2200 live births (0.04%). Prior studies estimate that approximately 25% of those with recovered LV function will have recurrent clinical PPCM during subsequent pregnancies, compared to 50% of those without recovered LV function. Specific predictors of recurrent PPCM have not been studied in cohorts with large numbers. Methods: From 2005-2011, we identified 1,872,227 pregnancies by International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) codes in the California Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) database, which captures over 95% of the California hospitalized population. Excluding 15,765 women with prior cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, stroke, HF, valve disease, or congenital heart disease), yielded n=1,856,462 women. Among women without prior cardiovascular disease, we identified index and subsequent pregnancies with PPCM to determine episodes of recurrent PPCM. We considered the following potential predictors of PPCM recurrence in both univariate and age-adjusted logistic regression models: age, race, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity, chronic kidney disease, family history, pre-eclampsia, ectopic pregnancy, income, and insurance status. Results: In HCUP, n=783 women had pregnancies complicated by PPCM (mean age=30.8 years). Among these women, n=133 had a subsequent pregnancy (17%; mean age=28.1 years), with a mean follow-up of 4.34 years (±1.71 years). In this group of 133 subsequent pregnancies, n=14 (10.5%) were complicated by recurrent PPCM, with a mean time-to-event of 2.2 years (±1.89 years). Among the risk factors studied, the only univariate predictor of recurrent PPCM was grand multiparity, defined as ≥ 5 previous deliveries (odds ratio: 22; 95% confidence interval 4.43-118.22). The other predictors we studied were not significantly associated with recurrent PPCM in either univariate or multivariable models. Conclusion: In a large population database in California with 783 cases of PPCM over a 6-year period, 17% of women had a subsequent pregnancy, of which 10.5% had recurrent PPCM. In age-adjusted logistic regression models, grand multiparity was the only statistically significant predictor of recurrent PPCM.

The Impact

Objective. The aim was to assess the impact of production and non-production risk factors on the formation of mental health disorders in chemical workers. Materials and methods. 201 employees of the main and 352 employees of the group of control were examined by a clinical method using a clinical structured psychiatric interview; questionnaires to identify additional non-production risk factors; questionnaire of neurotization. The calculations were carried out in the environment of the statistical system R. For modeling dependencies and calculating probabilities, logistic regression models were built, factor analysis was carried out. Results. The dependence of the formation of prenosological mental disorders in workers on the temporal characteristics, the level of material support and the actual production factors was revealed. The proportion of persons with mental deadaptation MD) in the main group 72.5 %) and the group of control 27.5 %) significantly differ from each other p 0.001). Conclusions. 1. The structure and the actual risk of MD formation among workers in the production of gunpowder is determined by harmful labor factors, depends on economic security, evolves depending on time characteristics. 2. For persons working under the influence of a chemical factor of the production environment in combination with explosive and fire hazardous works, the leading is astheno-vegetative symptomatology in combination with the personality type of conversion reaction. In the first 9 years of experience, general neurotic reactions are observed with a pronounced contribution from all scales, indicating the tension of adaptation mechanisms up to the formation of decompensation. With an increase in the length of time, the reactions are transformed into a conversion type of response according to the somato-vegetative type with a phobic radical and obsessions, and subsequently manifest themselves in relative independence from characterological reactions. 3. The degree of severity of reactions is characterized by variability, significantly overlapping the types of disorders that can be considered in the framework of Other mood disorders F38.0 and F38.1), which does not give grounds to classify them as F30-F34, since they are not sufficiently pronounced and severe.
