Abstract

As the first time worldwide, this study aimed to investigate the relationships of hyperhomocysteinemia and hyperuricemia with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and renal function in Chinese centenarians. The China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study was performed in 18 cities and counties of the Hainan Province. Home interview, physical examination, and blood analysis were performed on 808 centenarians following standard procedures. All centenarians had a median age of 102 (100-115) years. Prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia and hyperuricemia was 91.6% (740 centenarians) and 28.5% (230 centenarians), respectively. The MetS was present in 117 centenarians (14.5%). In simple correlation analyses, hyperhomocysteinemia and hyperuricemia were significantly correlated with MetS and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (P < 0.05 for all). Serum homocysteine levels were significantly correlated with GFR, waist circumference (WC), and triglyceride levels, while serum uric acid levels were significantly correlated with these variables plus high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (P < 0.05 for all). In logistic regression analyses, hyperhomocysteinemia and hyperuricemia were significantly associated with MetS and GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (P < 0.05 for all). In linear regression analyses, serum homocysteine levels were significantly associated with GFR, WC, and triglyceride, while serum uric acid levels were significantly associated with these variables plus HDL-C (P < 0.05 for all). Both hyperhomocysteinemia and hyperuricemia had important relationships with MetS and renal function in Chinese centenarians. Hyperuricemia and hyperhomocysteinemia that could help identify, while also affecting, the development of MetS and renal function may unfold complex relationships between MetS, renal function, and cardiovascular risk and provide effective prevention strategies for these conditions.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 September 2018.
All research outputs
#22,867,974
of 25,498,750 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in endocrinology
#8,417
of 13,156 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#304,858
of 348,049 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in endocrinology
#169
of 213 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,498,750 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,156 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 348,049 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 213 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
