Association between cognitive function and Cre/BW in middle-aged and older Chinese adults: evidence from the CHARLS by Shuting Li, Mengya Qi, Yanxue Wang, Xingmeng Lu, Xingang Li

“…Notably, participants in the highest Cre/BW quartile showed a 1.118-fold increased risk of cognitive impairment compared to those in the lowest quartile (95% CI: 1.048 to 1.346, p = 0.007), suggesting a dose–response relationship between Cre/BW ratio and cognitive outcomes.ConclusionOur findings demonstrate a significant inverse association between Cre/BW and cognitive function in the general Chinese adult population. Longitudinal analysis revealed that elevated Cre/BW ratio serves as an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment, with this association persisting after extended follow-up and comprehensive adjustment for potential confounding factors.…”

Psychological and autonomous nervous system features of functional gastric dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome, duloxetine treatment efficacy by A. P. Pogromov, G. M. Dyukova, M. L. Leonova

“…The scale of autonomous nervous disorders was applied for assessment of autonomous status (Vein et al., 1998), for evaluation of pain phenomena of various location – visual-analog scale.Results. At comparative analysis of gastroenterological symptoms in FGID and OGID patients in general it was revealed, that for majority of them no essential difference between organic and functional groups exits. …”
