C-reactive protein, body mass index, and diabetic retinopathy.
PURPOSE C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory biomarker that may be associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR), but body mass index (BMI) is an important confounder of this relationship. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between CRP, BMI, and existing DR. METHODS This was a population-based, cross-sectional study on 718 persons with diabetes in the Singapore Mal...
متن کاملMaternal pre-pregnancy body mass index and newborn telomere length
BACKGROUND Newborn telomere length sets telomere length for later life. At birth, telomere length is highly variable among newborns and the environmental factors during in utero life for this observation remain largely unidentified. Obesity during pregnancy might reflect an adverse nutritional status affecting pregnancy and offspring outcomes, but the association of maternal pre-pregnancy body ...
متن کاملChildhood maltreatment is associated with increased body mass index and increased C-reactive protein levels in first-episode psychosis patients.
BACKGROUND The high incidence of the metabolic syndrome in patients with psychosis is mainly attributed to antipsychotic treatment. However, it is also possible that psychological stress plays a role, inducing a chronic inflammatory process that may predispose to the development of metabolic abnormalities. We investigated the association between childhood maltreatment and inflammatory and metab...
متن کاملShort Sleep Duration Is Associated with Reduced Leptin, Elevated Ghrelin, and Increased Body Mass Index
BACKGROUND Sleep duration may be an important regulator of body weight and metabolism. An association between short habitual sleep time and increased body mass index (BMI) has been reported in large population samples. The potential role of metabolic hormones in this association is unknown. METHODS AND FINDINGS Study participants were 1,024 volunteers from the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study, a ...
