Changes in Metabolic Syndrome Status Linked to MACE Risk
Recovery from metabolic syndrome is associated with a decreased risk for major adverse cardiovascular events, while increased risk is seen in association with MetS development.
Metabolic Disorders
Metabolic Syndrome Prevalent in Patients Treated With Long-Acting Injectable Antipsychotics
Researchers aimed to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and other cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with severe mental illness prescribed long-acting injectable antipsychotic medications.
Lurasidone Linked to Relatively Low Risk for Metabolic Syndrome in Bipolar Depression
Investigators analyzed the potential metabolic effects of lurasidone in a sample of patients with bipolar I depression.
Probiotics May Improve BMI in Children With Obesity
Receiving 12 weeks of probiotic supplement can improve body mass index as well as components of the inflammatory and glycolipid metabolism in obese children.
Metabolic Syndrome Does Not Predict Chronicity, Severity of Depression
There was no evidence of metabolic syndrome’s effect on the course and severity of depression over six years in older adults with a formal diagnosis of depression.
Insulin Resistance May Predict Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis
A higher prevalence of NAFLD was observed among patients with psoriasis without arthritis compared with patients with psoriatic arthritis.
Risk Factors for CVD More Common in Postmenopausal Women Who Survived Breast Cancer
Researchers compared the development of specific CVD risk factors in postmenopausal women who survived breast cancer and women without history of breast cancer.
Vitamin D, Estradiol Deficiency Have Synergistic Effect on MetS
For Chinese postmenopausal women, vitamin D (VitD) and estradiol (E2) deficiency have a synergistic effect on metabolic syndrome.
Irregular Sleep Patterns May Increase Risk for Metabolic Syndrome
Variability in sleep duration and timing is associated with higher odds of metabolic syndrome.
Increased Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence in Newly Diagnosed Bipolar Disorder
Given the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in patients with newly diagnosed bipolar disorder, early intervention may be needed to reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease and premature death.
