Long-term use (≥ 5yrs) of common CV drugs, such as antihypertensives, diuretics, lipid-lowering drugs & oral anticoagulants, may lower dementia risk (0.75–0.91), claimed a large-scale study. Combining antihypertensives with diuretics, LLDs, and OACs for ≥5yrs, further reduced dementia risk (OR 0.66-0.84). However, antiplatelet use, regardless of duration, was tied to a higher risk of dementia (OR 1.13-1.25).

A nationwide study found that pregnant women with gout have higher risks of gestational diabetes (aOR 1.78), operative vaginal delivery (aOR 3.26), venous thromboembolism (aOR 8.47). Women with gout were also older, more obese, and had higher rates of chronic hypertension and pregestational diabetes. Additionally, the risk of delivering a neonate with congenital anomalies was higher in women with gout (aOR 3.38).

In a study of 16,965 older adults, both low (<30 mL/min/1.73m²) and high (≥95 mL/min/1.73m²) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels were linked to an increased risk of frailty. Additionally, for each doubling of baseline urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), the risk of frailty increased by 4% (HR 1.04). This suggested that both eGFR and UACR could serve as indicators for frailty risk in healthy senio...

In a recent study including patients with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes, poor glycaemic control (HbA1c >9%) after T1D onset was associated with a decrease in adult height, with males losing an average of 2.91 cm & females 1.83 cm. Notably, males had a higher risk of short stature (OR 1.90). Females were more affected by poor control if it occurred before puberty, while males were affected regardless of the timing.
