Background

Markers of ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) predict cardiovascular events. We estimated the prevalence of ideal CVH markers in two levels of cities and villages in India.

Methods

We did pooled analysis of individual-level data from three cross sectional surveys of adults ≥...

UnknownLongitudinal associations between ambient PM2.5 exposure and lipid levels in two Indian cities.

Background

Exposure to ambient PM2.5 is known to affect lipid metabolism through systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Evidence from developing countries, such as India with high levels of ambient PM2.5 and distinct lipid profiles, is sparse.

Methods

Longit...

UnknownExposure to Particulate Matter Is Associated With Elevated Blood Pressure and Incident Hypertension in Urban India.
Ambient air pollution, specifically particulate matter of diameter <2.5 μm, is reportedly associated with cardiovascular disease risk. However, evidence linking particulate matter of diameter <2.5 μm and blood pressure (BP) is largely from cross-sectional studies and from settings with lower concent...

UnknownRate and risk factors of kidney function decline among South Asians with type 2 diabetes: analysis of the CARRS Trial.

Introduction

People with diabetes are at risk of developing chronic kidney disease. However, limited data are available to quantify their risk of kidney function decline in South Asia. This study evaluates the rate and predictors of kidney function decline among people with type 2 diabetes i...

UnknownHealth, psychosocial, and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with chronic conditions in India: a mixed methods study.

Background

People with chronic conditions are disproportionately prone to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic but there are limited data documenting this. We aimed to assess the health, psychosocial and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with chronic conditions in India.

UnknownBlood-derived miRNA levels are not correlated with metabolic or anthropometric parameters in obese pre-diabetic subjects but with systemic inflammation.
As blood-derived miRNAs (c-miRNAs) are modulated by exercise and nutrition, we postulated that they might be used to monitor the effects of a lifestyle intervention (LI) to prevent diabetes development. To challenge this hypothesis, obese Asian Indian pre-diabetic patients were submitted to diet mod...
