Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of ageing and age–related disease states. The effectiveness of inflammatory proteins such as C–reactive protein (CRP) in assessing long–term inflammation is hindered by their phasic nature. DNA methylation (DNAm) signatures of CRP may act as more reliable markers of chronic inflammation. We show that inter–individ...

... Type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus are both associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. [1][2][3] In this Issue of the Lancet Regional Health-Europe, two cohort studies investigated trends in non-coronary arterial complications in people with either type 1 (N = 34,263) 4 or type 2 diabetes mellitus (N = 655,250) 5 based on the Swedish National Diabetes Register (NDR) between 2001 and 2019. In addition, up to five age-, sex-, and county-matched individuals functioned as a general population comparison cohort. ...
... Increasing evidence suggests T2D remission (i.e. reduction in HbA1c to ≤ 6.5% without the use of glucose-lowering medications) is possible for some when adopting an intensive weight management programme following diagnosis [35][36][37]. Such findings have garnered widespread scientific, health and media attention, as well as apparent interest from the broader T2D community. ...
... Cluster specific polygenic scores in ~279,000 individuals revealed obesityrelated vascular outcomes across different ancestry group. This in turn suggests potential optimizations for global diabetes care access by leveraging genetic insights and understanding the diverse etiological factors contributing to T2D [167]. While this information provides a proximate view of the population-specific risk variant, understanding how nature has shaped the function of these variants throughout human evolution and if these variants were advantageous or deleterious in our ancestors may help us to understand what happened during the course of time that certain contemporary human population became prone to obesity and T2D while others not. ...
... As a result, this may result in a cohort that progressively comprise individuals at lower risk." 4 This issue is likely more influential for people with type 1 diabetes mellitus who were much younger when entering the Swedish NDR than people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (mean age 33 years for the former vs 64 years for the latter). 4,5 Well-treated, compliant people with type 1 diabetes mellitus have a low risk for many years and such patients will likely contribute observation time for many of the examined calendar periods. In contrast, non-compliant people with type 1 diabetes mellitus will have a high risk of events and thus a lower risk of contributing observation time to several calendar periods. ...

The 19 SNPs exhibited clear biological relevance in the transport, synthesis and metabolism of serum 25(OH)D 15 . This GRS explained a significantly greater proportion of the variation (5.6%) of serum 25(OH)D with an F statistic value Table 3.

Of note, the serum PICP decrease produced by empagliflozin in the Empagliflozin Outcome Trial in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure (EMPEROR) was of the same order of magnitude as in the current study: 5% at 12 weeks and 8% at 52 weeks. ...

[18][19][20][21] Additional adjustment was performed on GDF-15, another important prognostic marker in the EMPEROR programme. 22 Week 12 landmark analysis were performed to study the associations between IGFBP7 changes and the subsequent occurrence of the primary outcome. Heterogeneity of treatment effect on major HF outcomes across the groups defined by the tertiles of GDF-15 was investigated by fitting Cox regression and negative binomial models, as appropriate, adjusted by the pre-specified covariates except for hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP and including a IGFBP7 group by treatment interaction. ...
