Filter by:Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the first cardiovascular cause of death that seriously threatens human health worldwide. Its incidence rate and mortality are increasing year by year and becoming younger. According to statistics, the average age of men and women with AMI for the first time is 65.6 years old and 72 years old respectively, of which 4%~10% AMI occurred before 45 years old. At present, there is no uniform age threshold for young AMI. Generally speaking, AMI with onset age less than 55 years for men and 65 years for women is called early-onset AMI, accounting for 5%~13% of AMI. Compared with elderly patients with AMI, patients with early onset AMI have different risk factors, clinical characteristics and prognosis, such as lower proportion of patients with diabetes and hypertension, more single vessel lesions and rare left main artery involvement, and higher long-term recurrence rate and mortality. Although the progress of preventive measures and treatment methods has reduced the hospitalization rate of elderly AMI patients, the number of young AMI patients in hospital is still rising. Therefore, in-depth analysis of the characteristics of risk factors of early onset AMI and early intervention are of great significance to reduce the risk of onset and improve long-term prognosis. Hyperlipidemia is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease at all ages, and is more closely related to early onset AMI. It is reported that more than 50% of early onset AMI patients are accompanied by hyperlipidemia. However, at present, the research on the relationship between blood lipids and early onset AMI is limited to the comparison of the level of single lipid component between early onset AMI and different control groups, or the comparative analysis of the relationship between a specific lipid component and the risk of early onset AMI with young healthy people. There is no research to compare the correlation between various lipid components and the risk of early onset AMI. Therefore, this study plans to deeply analyze the correlation between different blood lipid components and their ratios and early onset AMI, and further analyze which blood lipid indicators are most closely related to early onset AMI through large sample clinical research data, taking late onset AMI patients as the control, which should be paid early attention to and strictly managed.
In June 2021, Chinese Food and Drug Administration approved the launch of the self-developed new drug Tenofovir Amibufenamide(TMF). TMF is a new second generation of tenofovir(TFV) and its effect on blood lipids is unclear. Our study aims to figure out the effect of TMF on serum lipid level in the process of antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B patients.
The main purpose of this study is to understand the impact of lifestyle coaching on the risk of future cardiometabolic disease, workability and self-assessed wellbeing. The data gathered during the study helps in the future to better identify different focus groups for more tailored interventions. The study consists of two main stages: screening and coaching phase. Screening Aava and the pension will recruit 2000 participants for screening from the employer companies. Screening participants are invited to answer a wellbeing questionnaire (Aava Virta questionnaire, Work Ability Index questionnaire) and give blood samples and physiological measurements, including weight, height, waist circumference, neck circumference and blood pressure. All subjects participating in screening will receive the results from wellbeing questionnaire immediately and they receive the results from blood test within few weeks. Of these 2000 screened persons, a total of 300 high-risk (according to ApoB/ApoA1) individuals and 600 medium-risk individuals will be selected to participate in the coaching phase. These participants are randomly split into treatment and control groups, so that eventually 150 high-risk and 300 medium-risk individuals are placed in both groups. Therefore, a total of 900 subjects carry forward to the coaching phase and in 1100 subjects the study ends. All 900 subjects entering coaching phase receive home a Firstbeat Bodyguard 2 device with instructions for performing Firstbeat wellbeing analysis. After the measurement the device is posted back for analysis according to instructions. The results and feedback from this test is received in the end of the study after the coaching phase. Stage 2: Coaching phase Within the coaching groups, participants in the high-risk category and treatment group undergo an individual coaching program. Participants in the medium-risk category undergo a group coaching program with similar aims. Both coaching programs last 10 weeks during which there are 8 almost weekly coaching sessions at the subjects worksite or near vicinity. Both coaching programs aim in reducing cardiometabolic risk factors and improving subjective well-being. The topics of the lifestyle coaching are 1) nutrition, 2) physical activity, 3) sleep and stress and 4) the long-term maintenance of lifestyle changes. The aims and methods in each coaching topic is based on Finnish recommendations on the topic. The coaching sessions include mostly discussions but in the sessions focusing more on physical activity there are also sessions including activity. In the halfway (5 weeks) of coaching phase, a second blood sampling and Aava wellbeing questionnaire are taken from all subjects (both coaching and control groups). In the end of the coaching phase (10 weeks) blood samples, Aava wellbeing questionnaire, Work Ability Index -questionnaire and physiological measurements are taken the last time. At this stage a second Firstbeat analysis is also performed. BBI-15 questionnaire is administered before and after the coaching phase. An open ended questionnaire regarding lifestyle change motivators and experiences before, during and after the coaching phase is administered to all participants. Also, a small subset (20 persons) of subjects takes in interviews to delve more detailed to the experiences during the study. End of coaching phase and study - start of feedback and analysis After the coaching phase has ended and the subjects (coaching and their control groups) have received all the results (wellbeing questionnaire, blood tests and Firstbeat results) for the study and feedback sessions will be held for all. Willing subjects also receive the results from the gene test in form of PRS scores ie. total genetic risk for three areas of health: heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. THL gene results do not identify single gene variants. After this feedback session the study has ended for the subject. After all data in the study has been gathered starts the analysing and reporting phase for the researchers. At this stage the researchers can retrieve data from Aava patient records to analyse the effect of earlier diagnoses and findings. The information retrieved relate to ICD-10 diagnosis codes C00-C97 (malignant neoplasms), E00-E89 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases), F00-F99 (mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders), I00-I99 (diseases of the circulatory system) and M00-M99 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue) as these diagnostic codes can be important background factors for biomarkers of CVD and Type 2 diabetes risk and to some of the secondary endpoints like workability.
