Effects of Changes in Metabolic Syndrome Status on Cognitive Function: A 10‐Year Study in a Middle‐Aged Population

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The long‐term cumulative impact of metabolic syndrome (MS) on cognitive decline remains uncertain. This study investigated how changes in MS status over 10 years relate to cognition and whether sex modifies this relationship. A total of 766 participants (mean baseline age: 54 years) from the Kaohsiung Atherosclerosis Longitudinal Study were ...

Lipid Profile in Primary Aldosteronism: Cross‐Sectional and Post‐Treatment Analyses

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between primary aldosteronism (PA) and lipid metabolism remains controversial, with inconsistent findings reported in the literature. This study aimed to clarify PA's impact on the lipid profile using both a cross‐sectional comparison with essential hypertension (EH) controls and a longitudinal within‐patient pre‐post ...

Impact of Heated Versus Unheated Cooking Oil on Postprandial Vascular Function and Metabolism

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of repeated heating of seed‐based culinary oils on cardiometabolic health has not been well established. Heating oils to high temperatures (> 150°C) causes lipid peroxidation, thus generating potentially harmful compounds that may impair vascular function. This randomized, single‐blind, crossover study investigated the acute effects
