Abstract

The combination of having a low physical performance and obesity results in a vicious cycle, but the effect of this combination on the incidence of hypertension is still unknown. This article aims to examine the effect of obesity and low physical performance on the incidence of hypertension in older adults. The sample was comprised of 349 Chinese community-dwelling participants (199 women; mean age 66.30 ± 5.78 years) without hypertension at baseline. Obesity was defined as having a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 28 kg/m2. Participants scoring in the top 20% on the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) or in the slowest 20% of the 4-m walking test were defined as having a low physical performance. The outcome was new onset hypertension at the 1-year follow-up. We found that 89 (25.5%) of the 349 participants without hypertension at baseline had developed hypertension at their 1-year follow-up. After multivariate adjustments, it was found that the incidence of hypertension was associated with the combination of obesity and having a low physical performance (OR = 7.30, 95% CI = 1.36-39.11), but not solely with obesity (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 0.68-2.88) or solely with low physical performance (OR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.29-3.27).

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
